Exposing Attributes on Dynamic Feature Reader using python scripted parameter

I know the issue of dynamically exposing attributes in a feature reader from the Generic port comes up often, but I thought I would ask anyway. I have two issues with the FeatureReader regarding scripted parameters. Firstly, I have a text file which contains a list of feature classes to read. As feature classes are added to the database, the name will be added to the text file. I have a Python Scripted Parameter which is called "FeatureTypes" with the following code:f = open(r"D:\Scripts\DEV\List of Feature Classes.txt", 'r')featureTypes = ''for line in f.read().split('\n'): featureTypes += (line + " ")f.closereturn featureTypesThis returns a nice list of all feature classes to read. In my FeatureReader, I set the Feature Types to Read paramter, to this $(FeatureTypes) parameter. However, when the database tries to read it, it's reading the literal string "$(FeatureTypes)" instead of the list. I got around this by using a ParameterFetcher and storing the list of feature classes into

Sum attributes with a condition in the attribute name

Hi, I have a list of attributes "A_x1" to "A_x20" and I want to sum them up with the attributes "B_x1" to "B_x20 based on the name of the attribute name. Like if part of the attributename = _x1 then sum. See table below as example. Thanks!

ArcGIS Indoors to IMDF transformation - Multiple same addresses written to address.geojson

I've created a functional workspace based on the wonderful ArcGIS Indoors to IMDF template; Even got a reasonable IMDF dataset successfully written! In my ArcGIS Indoors model, I don't have any data in the "Sites" feature class (IMDF: venue.geojson) but it's handled in the workspace (thanks!). A little massaging of my source data solved that problem! Unfortunately, I have address data in the ArcGIS Indoors "Facilities" feature class. Since the venue.geojson and building.geojson both originate from "Facilities", and there were two rows in Facilities, this results in multiple (3) entries of the same address (okay, they have unique address_ids). I'm new to FME -- so, I tried a few things (i.e. adding a "DuplicateFilter" but then realized I don't know how to get the respective address_id further downstream).I was thinking of "FeatureMerger" (?) but it seems really magical and I can't quite figure out how/why it work

Raster question

Ok, I know this is something dumb, but rather than beating my head against a wall I figured I'd ask for some help! I have a vector data set that I am converting to a raster. No problems there. The issue I am having is each vector polygon has a value set. I want to pass the value to each raster pixel (30X30). When I use any of the vector to raster converters (mapnik, image, or numeric) rasterizers I am getting the same single raster without the values being passed. I attempted to group the features by a GUID, and value but that just created 700+ separate rasters. Any ideas on how to pass the value field to each single pixel would be appreciated. I've attached a sample of the clipped vector data.

Create Polygon from multiple (10) coordinates in CSV file.

I have 10 long/lat coordinates, 1 in each column of a CSV file, with the headers listed as follows: Y1, X1, Y2, X2, Y3, X3, etc. The final two coordinates mirror the first two coordinates, so that the shape is closed. I am new to FME and am attempting to create a polygon from this CSV file and would love any guidance offered. Thank you.

How to generalize railroads

Hi guys, I have one more question. I've got task to generalize railroads in fme but I don't have any idea how to start (example data in screenshot). On the screen you can see a lot of railroads with gap between around 5meters, I would extend the gap to 15 meters at least. I tried with bufferer but there is no result. Any ideas?

How to enable "Max Features to read per Feature Type" with database tables

Hi FME-Experts,I'm trying to read features from an Oracle Spatial Table by the corresponding reader. Although reader option "Max Features to Read per Feature Type" has been set to 20, FME didn't stop reading. (See Screenshot) Does anybody have an explanation why this behaviour occurs? Actually I'm not reading only one table but three, so switching over to "Max Features to Read" is not really an option. With this option, reading would really stop after the given number of features has been reached. (but only for one Feature Type) Looking forward to your answers!(FME Desktop 2022.1.1 Build 20220728, identical behaviour in FME 2021.2)

Ok, reach way back into those 30 year old neurons and long un-electrified bits: is there anything in FME today that can read PAMAP GIS data files? I have a stash of Pamap data from the 1990s to convert to a modern format such as GeoPKG or shapefiles and geoTIFF. Pamap and Safe are both BC born and raised, have overlapping time spans, and were heavily involved with BC government spatial data operations. Surely there was some interaction? Perhaps there's a SAIF v1 or FME v0.3b or in the archives somewhere that can be resurrected for this single task? (This is personal project and not associated with my day job at Yukon government. My personal google account is mistakenly tied to my work credentials on the Safe Community site. Please use maphew@gmail.com if not following up via this forum. Thanks.)

How to use fanout in FeatureWirter for dwg-files in FME Server?

How does fanout work for dwg files with FeatureWriter in FME Server. Hundreds of postgis tables are read in my workspace with Feature Reader and they should be written as DWG files by object category. The process works as desired on Workbench. Separate dwg-files from each table with the desired filenames ja layer names will come out. But when I publish my workspace on the FME server, in download zip everything comes out in one and the same file with all feature types on its own layers and filename with a generically generated filename. When publishing, you can only specify the folder path. I would want to use FeatureWriters because I don't wanna create a hundred writers with few transformers each.

Best way to polyogns from raster where polyogns represent a range of values (elevations)?

I have a single band raster (DEM raster) I want to create polygons which represent ranges. For example I have pixels with a range from 100 - 500 and I want to create polygons where values are in the range 100-105, or 105-110. I've tried to contourGenerator and building areas from those but contours aren't close so it's not really an option. RasterToPolygonCoercer I think would work but I need to first get my raster values to be grouped by the interval - this is where I'm having trouble. any ideas?

Date Transformation from string format: Month (text, full name), Day (number, no leading 0s), Year (number).

I'm working with a date field that needs to be converted from a text string giving the format as described in my title (e.g. October 1, 2022). I've found a lot of documentation on the DateTimeConverter, however none of the formats on the documentation seem to match up with my date format. This seems like a simple solution that I'm missing, any help is appreciated!

1st Data transfer to data

what I trying to do is write the values in the Database and then read from there as a readerbut the problem is when I run my workspace its runs same timewhat I m want is 1st load the data and then reader-run

ESF-XSD and Aggregate errors in Cuting Permit FTA

Hi, I have a workspace to apply for a cutting permit that takes 3 cutblocks and aggregates them into one feature based on cutting permit and then output that directly to the HarvestApplicationWithCP output. This looks ok when the writer is redirected to the inspector, but the XML is incomplete, it only has one of the cutblocks in the HarvestApplicationWithCP portion of the XML.
