I'm trying to change the Dataset in the parameters of a Feature Reader transformer before to publish it in FME Server... but when I put the address a message error is shown.

The error message shown is "XML Parser error: 'unable to open primary document entity '\\1_Src\\Bag\\Inspire_data_NLD\\9999STA*.zip''Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'GML' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. "

Upgrading Attribute transformers that use varchar()

In FME Desktop* I'm upgrading attribute transformers to latest version. The most significant change seems to be that now attribute types are specified. In the case of SQL Server and `varchar()` varchar takes a a width parameter. FME appears to be suggesting values based on the input stream from a cached run, which is very helpful. However I don't know for sure the present input stream represents the possible range in the source. In this example we see AttributeManager showing wide variety of specific integers in varchar() width: 80, 7, 969, 95, 43. What do these numbers represent? Are the exact measurements of current input? Are they padded a little bit for insurance? Do they take into account if the input is high UTF-8, and thus need 2-spaces to encode 1 character? Most importantly from work productivity perspective: is there something I can do to adjust all these numbers by X percent or value instead of clicking each and every one of these values and then typing a number acr

Creating a mosaic from drone pictures

Ok, I've been all around the Interwebs, SAFE Forums, Reddit, etc... I'm stuck with what seems to me a simple problem. I have a bunch of photos taken with a DJI Mini2 and I want to creat a mosaic with FME (without any third party apps or program). My photo all have x,y coordinates because I can create a point cloud with ArcMap (raster to point) and every point land in the right place. Now in FME... I've tried lots of transformers and the results is always the same; all the photos are in the ocean and on top of eachothers. Isn't that what "RasterMoasicker" should do??? ArcMAp 10.4.1 (but have access to ArcGIS Pro)FME 2021 32/64 bits SO... I'm sure it's doable in FME... Can you guys help me? Thanks in advance! :-)

How to put columns in Excel output in another order?

Hmm, I am struggling with this for a day now and I tried the tutorials, but it seems I am doing something wrong.So, basically I have an xml file out of which I want to put certain elements into an Excel output. But here is the issue.I want those outputs in a certain order - and no matter what I do, FME will always write the columns into alphabetical order. Which just will not do for this application. The transformation is a simple one: But somehow I always end up with the same output.As You can see, I already renamed the attributes with the numbers, trying to sort it that way, but no matter what I do, the output then looks like this:(Also with those weird widths for those columns) Can this be somehow changed? Thanks so much in advance.

Getting SCHEMA_DATASET not found error

I am upgrading from FME Desktop 2016 to 2021.2. I am facing a issue with my FME script, getting error as "SCHEMA_DATASET" not found. I don't want to supply data set sometimes so haven't fixed it's value. In my script I have only one schema reader and it is causing issue as I see I can't give null dataset to it.I have tried enabling "Ignore Failed Readers" to yes and "Rejected Feature Handling" to continue translation.Any help would be appreciated

How to dissolve some polygons by minimizing/maximizing an attribute

Hi,I've a polygon feature with an attribute "LEVEL" containing values from 1 to 10.The polygons can be overlapped. I want to dissolve the polygon grouped by "LEVEL" and only keep the polygon with the lowest "LEVEL" value. It's easy to dissolve the polygon grouped by "LEVEL" but how to only keep the polygons with the lowest value ?Here is an illustration of what I'm trying to do, the number correspond to the attribute "LEVEL":

Travelling salesman with multiple vehicles

HiI have a travelling salesman use case, where a fleet of perhaps 2-4 vehicles need to reach a set of locations in a municipality. I have used the shortestpathfinder before, but not with multiple agents/vehicles. Is that possible (finding the optimal plan for, say, 3 vehicles for an address list)? I found https://engage.safe.com/blog/2016/11/fmeevangelist158/, but it doesn´t mention more than one vehicle.

Corrupt GML file error

Corrupt GML file error Hello everyone, I am creating an FME script, the input data are DGN files and the output data are GML files. I am using the "XMLValidator" transformer which contains a template file used as an example to model and structure the output GML file. Here's my problem: I need to convert several DGN plans into GML. 1) : When I input the DGN plans created with the Microstation software, the 'XMLValidator' indicates no errors and the output GML file is correct and matches my expectations. 2) : On the other hand, when I input DGN plans created with TopoCalc surveying software, the 'XMLValidator' transformer indicates several errors: (see photo) - no declaration found for the 'featureMember'" element - prefix 'gml' can not be resolved to namespace URI". Error in QGIS when opening the GML file:".gml is not a valid or recognised data source." The GML file is therefore corrupted and cannot be opened... I ca

Export multipolygons into a GeoPackage

After clipping I use aggregator to aggregate the polygons with same attribute and the output i want to write into a gpkg file as multipolygon. The workbench works perfectly if i write single geometry to gpkg or if i write multipolygon into shp. However it is not working with mutlipolygon in gpkg.

How to select features that have a depth of +/- 20cm when compared to depths from another feature?

I have 2 feature types in my work space. One being a report from field staff that collects data on manholes and another being a shapefile containing a "master" set of manhole data. I want to match features from the report to the master manhole shapefile based on an asset number, then filter out the features that are outside the +/- 20cm e.g. if the master manhole data has a depth of 1.1m and the report has a depth of 1.05 i want to ignore it, but if the report had a depth of 1.3m i want it in my end result. I currently have my 2 readers going into a FeatureMerger which compares the asset numbers and any matching are allowed through. I then have those merged results going to a ExpressionEvaluator which is subtracting the report depths from the Master manhole depths. All that is feeding into a .xlsx writer which produces a spreadsheet that i can look at and decide if i want to update the depth in the master manhole shapefile. I have a tester in their coming off of the Unmerge

As you can see, when I extract the data, it's showing me all "advrnum" with "td". but when I merger them so I get only one recoder of Advr 8 I need all rows.

En-masse data translations

Hello Group, I manage a large directory of geospatial data, mostly in .tab. But times and needs are changing and I’d like to have the data available in other formats such as shp, geojson and gpkg. In an ideal world we’d have a PostGIS database, but that’s not about to happen any time soon. So, for the time being, and probably into the foreseeable, I will continue to maintain flat files. In FME Form, I need a process where I can point a FeatureReader at a folder and, in as few steps as possible, write each one to .shp, for example. I need to maintain the name (done so through Accumulation Mode: Merge Initiator and Result, I believe). So, for example a folder may contain 20 tab files (Zones_A.tab, Zones_B.tab, Zones_C.tab etc. etc.). I would want to create Zones_A.gpkg, Zones_B.gpkg, Zones_C.gpkg, but do so in one go. I know I can read in files from a folder (via ‘Select Multiple folders/Files’ in the FeatureReader) and then publish as a different format to the same location (or differ

How to dynamically append attribute value to rows when writing to database

I would like some inputs if possible. I want to write several thousand of rows to a database (each of these rows represent a pdf file). I have created an attribute called 'status' that should have the value 1 or 0 based on whether the particular row has been written into the database. This should be a precaution if FME breaks down. Then it is possible to see which rows have been written into the database and which haven't. I don't expect a complete answer at all but perhaps just some ideas on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

FGDB Writer: "Unknown exception" is raised when writing Text Feature layers with Umlauts (seems like a strange bug)

I have an FME workspace in which input from an DWG file is read and exported into an FGBD file. I am using a dynamic FeatureWriter. Whenever a Text feature is written to a layer whose name contains an Umlaut (i.e. ä/Ä, ö/Ö, ü/Ü), the translation fails with the following error message:"GEODATABASE_FILE writer: An unknown exception occurred" Very strangely, layer names with Umlauts are not a problem for any other feature type, i.e. Point, Line, and Area features all can be written to corresponding layers without a problem. (As another rather confusing side note, Text features can actually be written to layers whose names contain 'ß' which from a technical/encoding point of view should cause the same problems as 'ä', 'ö', 'ü'). Here is a screenshot of my workspace:After reading the features from the DWG, I simply split them by geometry type. For the Text features, the Tester:DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_UMLAUT only lets features pass whose fme_feature_type do

Inspect Cached Feature not working

Hi,I have been using FME 2019.1 for some months now with no issues. But strangely now I can no longer view the cached features. I have 'Run' set with 'Enable Feature Caching' but when I click on the green magnifying glass and select 'Inspect Cached Features', nothing happens. There are definitely records going trough these ports... I have probably changed some setting but can't work out what it is!Thanks,
