Executing FME Workbench Using Python Script for Batch IFC Processing

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project where I need to process multiple IFC files and write the data to a PostgreSQL database using an FME workbench. I've written a Python script to automate this process, which includes getting IFC input from the user and executing the FME workbench. However, I'm encountering problems when passing multiple IFC files to the FME command line.Any ideas? Main Idea:Getting IFC Input from User: The script prompts the user to enter the path to a directory or a single IFC file. Running the FME Workbench: The script constructs and executes the FME command with the provided IFC file paths and other necessary parameters.I am using a PythonCreator at the start of my FME script to catch these arguments and read with FeatureReader. Currently, when I look at the FME log after I run the external Python script, I see that the paths are not parsed as parameters. Main error I see in the log files is the following:2024-06-21 21:52:52| 0.4| 0.0|ERROR |ISO10303-21: Unable

Convert Oracle datasets to different geopackages

My question is about the following: I want to create Geopackages from about 20 Oracle spatial datasets. Each dataset must be stored in a separate geopackage.For Example: Oracle dataset 1 must become Geopackage 1, Oracle dataset 2 must become Geopackage 2. The names from the Oracle dataset must also be copied into the Geopackage.In addition, each Geopackage must be zipped.Is there a way to automate this in FME? I was already thinking about the AttributeExposer, but I can't get it to work.Thank you in advance.

Workspacerunner fails to find published parameter

Hi there,We recently installed ArcPro 3.3 with the data interoperability extension FME version 2024.0.1.0.I have succesfully used WorkspaceRunner in the previous version of ArcGIS PRO 2.8.But now, when I use the WorkspaceRunner transformer to run a simple workspace the transformer fails to read the published parameter, it says "Specified workspace has no parameters or could not be read". The workspace I am loading into workspacerunner does have a published user parameter. Does this happen because of the new version of ArcGIS? Anyone else have this experience? Thanks, Winonah

ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader Error

Hi All,I have written a workspace that downloads features (and attachments) from an AGOL Feature Service, and everything was working fine until about 2 weeks ago. Then it suddenly, and for no reason that I can see, stopped working.

PLATEAU4 品質検査01 共通

FME Hub user takashi.pss just uploaded a new template to the FME Hub.PLATEAU標準製品仕様書第4.x版に基づいて作成されたCityGMLデータについて、XML文書の妥当性、定義域等に関する品質検査を行います。品質要求L03の検証結果について標準製品仕様書に規定されている品質要求L03の検証では、本来、各都市の拡張製品仕様書における応用スキーマで定義されていない地物型をエラーとして検出しなければなりません。しかし、FMEによる自動検査処理においては、拡張製品仕様書でどのような地物型の定義が追加されているかを認識することができないため、本ワークスペースによるL03検証では標準製品仕様書で定義されていない地物型の要素が都市モデルの子要素として現れた場合は、拡張製品仕様書での定義如何に関わらずエラーとして検出します。ただし、PLATEAU VIEWに登録するための自動検査処理においては、L03のエラーは検査の合否判定には使わないこととします (CMS登録時の自動品質検査の結果がL03エラーだけの場合は不合格とせず、可視化用データ変換処理に進みます)。品質要求L03にかかるエラーが生じた場合は、拡張製品仕様書の応用スキーマにおいてその地物型を定義すべきであることを促す警告であると解釈してください。使用方法や検査結果についてのお問い合わせは、次のアドレスあてのメールでお願いします。plateau-helpdesk@aigid.jp 今後も必要に応じて、ワークスペースの機能追加、改良をし、FME Hubを更新することがあります。FME Hubを更新した場合は、Slack PLATEAUコミュニティの「2024技術支援チャンネル」でお知らせしますので、適宜ダウンロードしてお手元の環境も更新してください。このワークスペースはいつまでもご利用になれますが、上記のメールやSlackによるサポートは2024年度末で終了します。あらかじめご承知おきくだいますよう、お願いいたします。Would you like to know more?

Excel writer in 2024 parameter settings not persistent

When writing my data to an Excel spreadsheet, then I thought to get the attribute names in the first row of the spreadsheet.According the the documentation, the parameter ‘Output Field Names’ only has an effect ‘[...] only if the sheet or named range is being created or has been dropped or truncated prior to insertion. Otherwise, attribute names will not be added to existing worksheets or named ranges.’So, I drop and truncate what ever I can… 😂 However, while ‘Overwrite Existing File’ can be set to yes or no, and it sticks to the writers settings, the in the documentation mentioned parameters can be set to yes, but the next time you open the writers parameters dialog, your setting is back to no.The problem is most likely related toand I tried to set the row height to 0, where the name s are written.

To and From attributes in Line Feature

Hi, I'm trying to populate the "To" and "From" attributes in the Line feature. I have points snapped to the line feature, causing the line to split at the point. I need to fill out the "To" and "From" attributes. I tried a certain approach, but it didn't work:I buffered the point feature and used LineOnAreaOverlayer, and then the Coordinate extractor to find the start and end points of the line.If there is any other way I can use to accomplish this task, please advise.Thanks!

ArcGIS Online Webhooks - FME Flow Automation

Hopefully someone can offer some advice on using ArcGIS Online hosted feature service webhooks and FME Flow.I have set up webhooks on a test hosted feature service, derived from a survey123 form. When implementing a webhook directly via Survey123, I successfully receive a response in the FME Flow log. However, when implementing a webhook on the feature service, there is no response in the log.I’ve done some checks using https://webhook.site/ and I can see that ArcGIS Online is sending data when using that URL, so it’s not a problem with the feature service webhook, but appears to be an issue with FME Flow.I should add, FME Flow is HTTPS enabled. All feature service settings look to be correct and I have default Admin rights on AGOL.Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Expose Transformer Name as attribute value

I'm trying to create a generic Emailer in which all the transformer "rejected" ports feed into, allowing easy identification as to where the error occurred in the workspace. Currently I'm creating a separate Emailer and writing the transformer name in by hand for each point of failure. I'm running FME Desktop 2019.2 :)ThanksAlex

How to georectify a raster

I have a scan of an old map, that I want to geo-rectify so that it sits neatly under a vector dataset of property boundaries.I am following the example at this link “Adding GCPs to a scanned topographic map”RasterGCPSetter (safe.com)I have picked three GCPsI have a JPEG Reader for the scanned mapI use a RasterGCPSetter to set the three GCPsI then use the RasterGCPApplier to apply the GCPs (I downloaded GCPApplier from the hub)At this point it all looks great. The Inspector shows that the scanned map has rotated about 10-15 degrees. I am only using three GCPs, so this is an expected result.I then use a GeoTIFF WriterBut the GeoTIFF output has no rotation :-(What am I doing wrong? How do I write out a raster that is rectified?

The transformer “DonutBuilder” stopped with this rejection code:INVALID_GEOMETRY_DEGENERATEI was hoping to solve the problem with the “Geometry Validator” (fix degenerate or corrupt geometries). But all geometries were ok according to the validator.How can I avoid this error?Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this?

Creating XML for impoting Named Connections for ESRI ArcSDE Geodatabases

I have a lot of SDE connection files that I would like to create named connections for in FME Form 2024.I would like if possible to automate this by creating an xml file to import. I can use the Directory and File Pathnames Reader to get the path and the name for each sde connection file, so I am thinking I could use FME Form to create a xml file with all the entries I need and import that into the fme_userconnection.data filer whiteout having to do this manually one by one.I do not need to specify anything special in the connections, version, credentials etc. can all be defaulted, so the 2 values I need are the path and name, which I can get. I tried making a single conn and then exporting to see the xml format, but al the values are encrypted. Is there any kind of xml template or example xml I could use to see how to do this ?

Allow Snapped Vertices to Pass the GeometryValidator

I have a process that includes the GeometryValidator transformer with a check on for self-intersections in 2D. The validation rightly captures those overlapping or crossing segments, but it also incorrectly catches vertices that snap to another segment. These kinds of geometries can be correct, as in the case of a trail that has a T-intersection and loops back onto itself.I’ve not found a mechanism to allow these kinds of errors to be considered valid. Does anyone have a work-around?

I believe that because this is a date/time field that it is causing me troubles as I am able to run tests on other fields.

Dynamically read and nd create an sde table

Hi All, First of all, thank you for taking your time to read this post.FME Desktop 2022.2Objective: Using the Feature Reader I’m trying to dynamically have a user input an existing sde table name (so the user is prompted to insert the table name that already exists), then I have a reprojector followed by the FeatureWriter to Drop and Create the table in a new projection. The table to be dropped an create will be the same one inserted by the user. Hence, this table already exists. Error: ‘Feature Type Definition {feature here} was requested, but not defined’. I checked another similar post, but I still can’t get my workbench to work. I have a Feature Reader set as follows: When I run the workbench, the FeatureReader does not show the table name that was inserted by the user, but instead, it catches the table records under ‘Generic’ see screenshot below.
