Attribute Values

I want to update one record in an attribute. For example, the attribute carries the names of several cities, I want to change just a single city name within the attribute.

7-Parameter Transformation WGS84UTM31 to ETRS89UTM31

Hi, My name is Raul Salas and I work for the survey company MMT in Sweden. We are currently working on the setup of our transformation definitions into FME. Since the FME coordinate systems library does not include the specific transformation we need to carry out, I have manually put the respective shift parameters in “MyCoordSysDefs.fme” file as follows: DATUM_DEF ETRS89/01 \\ DESC_NM "European Terrestrial Reference System 89" \\ SOURCE "CARIS HIPS" \\ ELLIPSOID WGS84 \\ USE 7PARAMETER \\ DELTA_X -0.011 \\ DELTA_Y -0.058 \\ DELTA_Z -0.064 \\ ROT_X 0.001689 \\ ROT_Y 0.009996

New Folder in Transformer Gallery

Hi, I was just wondering how I could create a new folder in the Transformer Gallery. In FME 2012 when you point on the Transformer Gallery, you click right and say 'create new folder'. In 2013 this functionality is missing. Or is there another trick? Thanks for any help. Best regards, Stefan

merging areas by a common attribute

I have several areas that have common boundaries and a common attribute. I would like to dissolve the lines that touch to make one larger area. I tried the amalgamator, but that didn't work, I have also tried the aggregator, but that isn't working either. The data is an access workspace for a geomedia layer. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

Generic Writer questions

When adding the Generic Writer into the Workspace I dont seem to be able to select multiple formats to write to. I can only pick one. FME Desktop 2013 Build 13263 I have public web forms now but whichever format the user picks from the drop down menu it writes to shape. Because I only have Shape writers in the workspace. So I need to replace the Shape writer with Generic Writer and have it be able to write to shape, file gdb, dxf, dgn. https://fmeserver.ncd.noaa.gov/encdirect_extract_approach.html

IGDS Version 7 text range calculation with Font Resource

FMEers, I'm using FME2012 to create IGDS V7 symbols, from a resource file (.rsc), for example, font 85 OCT032 50 feet by 50 feet. UORS / FT= 381 The output range block is not correct in MicroStation. The y-extent is fine, but the x-extent is about 30% too short. I believe this is causing FME not to calculate the correct lower-left origin of the symbol from the insertion point. Text-nodes (type 7) appear to have the correct range block and so do "normal" text strings, type 17, font=0. It appears that the symbols are the only things with a screwy range block. Anyone know how FME does symbols? Tips, tricks, suggestions for getting the right output? Brad

Exporting ArcGIS Metadata using a List

Hi Everyone, I just had a question regarding exporting ArcGIS Metadata using a List. We recently found this wonderful article on how to pass a list of layers to a FME Reader (http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Pass-a-List-of-Tables-or-Layers-to-an-FME-Reader-using-Python-Scripted-Parameters) and it works amazing, the trouble is that the metadata is not brought along with it. The location where you normally would set metadata to come accross is where this python script needs to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

Appending new records to Shapefile using FME

I’m just curious if someone could help me or give me a little direction. I was given the task to geocode a list of addresses from an excel table and populate them on a map. That part is all good but one of the tasks in the project is to append new addresses that come in and have them update on the map. I know about creating a dynamic feature class in geocoding and just editing the addresses manually but I was given instruction to use FME to create a workflow that takes the excel files and automatically adds them to a map. I have very basic knowledge of FME and how it works. If anyone has any ideas or insight on where I could go from here they would all be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Restore Repository from FFS lost Service Connections

I recently backed up my running 2012-sp1 machines to a FFS and did a update to 2012-sp4. When I run a workspace to restore my FFS to Repository I can see all my workspaces are back in the appropriate repositories. But None of them are linked anymore to the Job Submitter service, so its like they don't exist anymore. Is there a option where I can go and re-assign them to the proper service again? Otherwise I will need to republish all 40+ workspaces and that is just a time killer. Thanks; David (DEWright_CA)

Adding Text along each vertex of linestring

I would like to know if there is any option in FME to add text(height of the each vertex) along a linestring. The text should fall parallel to the line string.

FME 2013 official release

Hello FME 2013 was released Jan 15 with Build 13261 Now I find Build 13264 in the download area and FME Pedia has the info that FME 2013 is Build 13264. see: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/Build-Numbers-for-FME-Versions I couldn't find any info about the difference between 13261 and 13264 ?! We want to build on top of official FME 2013. This confusion is unexpected and not really helpful. Michael

Schema/Attribute Validation

Hi everyone :) I have (another!) newbie question. I'm attempting to set up a workbench whose purpose is to do attribute validation/checking between a shapefile and a feature class in an ESRI SDE geodatabase. What I need to do is compare attribute existence and some key properties (attribute name/alias/data-type/precision/length etc) between the two datasets. If the attributes/properties are the same, then proceed with some further processing of the shapefile, but if they are different to end processing and generate a basic log-like tabular/text based output detailing the differences. Is there a particular methodology that can easily acheive this? So far I'm struggling to understand the best way to set up a flow of transformers that collects and examines attribute properties of feature type(s) (as opposed to attribute values on a per feature basis). Any ideas/suggestions appreciated :)

Variable Reader/dynamic Schema

Hey FME'rs I'm struggling a little bit with using trying to build in a variable reader schema. I've built the workbench where it prompts the user for the source shape file. I received a sample of the schema but there is a good chance of a different shapefile schema being input. I have tried working with the knowledge base but I'm coming up short. The output is a known schema I've created after the analysis. Does anyone have any ideas?

FGDB Raster to 3D-PDF

I usually only work with vector data but now have a task to create 3DPDF documents for distributing to a project team. My issue is this: how to generate a colorized raster representaion in 3DPDF using the raster contained within an Esri FGDB. I am completely new to this process and can get it to produce a TIN from the raster, but i am unsure of how to colorize the raster and have it represented in a 3D model of the source raster. Any help would be great, thanks!

Variable database feature reader

Forgive me if this question has been asked before. I don't know how to phrase it in such a way that I can find an easy answer though. Bascially, I'm developing an fme script to QA incoming topographic data against our business rules and then compare it against our database to determine the change. What I want to do, is have the database reader only pull feature classes from our database that match the incoming data: eg: only pull the roadsegment feature class from the database if a roadsegment feature class was provided. If I haven't given enough information or this questions was answered elsewhere please point me in the right direction. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Unconnected nodes and double lines in polygons

Hi, I am converting ESRI shape files into the Norwegian national spatial data format, SOSI. SOSI is very strict on overlapping geometry, double or unconnected nodes and double lines in polygon features. I am new to FME, so I need a little help in figuring out how to collapse double vertices, how to remove "blind" nodes (nodes that are unconnected) and remove double line features in polygons. Any suggestions? Chris

Need to set user parameter at shutdown for next run

Hi, I want to call same workbench again based on some feature at shutdown. I achieved this through a python shutdown script but the problem is i also want to set the user parameter for the next run. I tried but each time the workbench runs again, i takes the default value of parameter. Is there any way to set the parameter at shutdown so that next time when workbench runs it picks the value i set ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Parameter in reader URL for an XML feed

The subject sort of says it all. I'm trying to setup a workbench process anyone in our team can run, or that I can work out how to automate. Basically I'm retreiving data from an XML feed that takes 2 querystring variables, one has to be the current date in the format (dd/mm/YY), the other I can make static as the number of days history of events to be retrieved. I would be grateful if anyone can advise hoe I can do this in Workbench, or if there's a method for doing it in Python (bearing in mind I'm a newbie @ Python). Thanks.

Command line scripting and GDB feature classes

Hi all, I'm writing a script that should run workbench once for each feature class in a File Geodatabase. For testing purposes I created a list of feature classes beforehand that I am passing to a subprocess call using python. I'm basically invoking the windows command prompt to run workbench once for each feature class in my list. In my workbench I've linked the Feature Types to Read to a user parameter which I pass the Feature Class name to in the subprocces call. I'm getting a long, weird error message back each time the process is run & the workbench is failing each time. When testing in workbench & giving the user parameter a Feature Class name everything is kosher. Any suggestions from the community? Thanks!
