asked in Automation

Engine managment , is there any issue with a automation calling workbenches that cannot run on the same engine?

For example I have automation MyAutomation that runs two workbenches, WB1, WB2. WB1 can run on engines 1 - 5(determined by the folder it is in on the FME Server), WB2 can run on engines 3-5. Can an issue arise where WKB1 is running on engine 2 and completes by calling WKB2, that cant run on Engine 2?

Geopackage data to Geodatabase with right attributs

Hello! I have problem to write several geopackage data to one geodatabase. I used Attribute filter and Dynamic writers. Attributes from all objects comes to each features. How to write data to geodatabase so that there are each features has own attributes? I am not profs with FME yet :) Would be thankful for tips.

Read AGOL related table

How do we read AGOL relationship classes/related tables in FME? The published table can be imported separately but the relationship linkage is not maintained in the parent feature service. Is there a way to import feature service in a way from where the related table is linked?

Geometry Replacer with EsriJSON format creates polygons over holes inside polygon. Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi all!I'm reading spatial data from a MapServer hosted in organizations ArcGIS Portal. The query is made with HTTPCaller, and the response is in EsriJSON (by default). I then extract the "geometry" part of the response json, as well as some other attributes from the response, with PythonCaller and replace the geometry with GeometryReplacer to FME Feature Geometry, so that I can perform other spatial tasks with FME later in the translation. However, I noticed that some polygons returned from the query contains holes inside of them, or they should contain (this is confirmed from the source data), but after the GeometryReplacer, the holes are not holes, but filled with a polygon, and the Geometry returned is a multiarea with polygon part of it on top of the polygon itself! This behaviour happens, when the Geometry source encoding is EsriJSON. The MapServer can be queried so, that the response format is in GeoJSON, and when I perfomed the same method with the GeoJSON encodi

Getting invisible BOM characters in my url created from GetCapabilities request - can only see the %EF%BB%BF when copying to browser - what am I doing wrong?

I've created a workspace to call a lot of wms services - and I'm not getting the right response. When I copy the URL to a browser the %EF%BB%BF appears in my string - this I cannot se within FME. How can I fix this ?

Line (Single or Multi part) Generalisation using Maximum Coordinate Count

Hi, I want to simplify some line geometries which may be single or multi part IF their coordinate count is greater than a fixed value. Is there a simple way that I can apply a generalisation based of max resultant coordinate count rather than a tolerance setting where the post generalisation coordinate count will not be know until until after the generalisation has been applied. In the latter situation if the count still exceeds my threshold the tolerance would have to be increased, and generalised once or multiple times? I was interested to know if I could go straight to my max value rather than having to create a looped process? I am using FME(R) 2022.2.3.0 (20230131 - Build 22789 - WIN64) Ultimately I want to create a WKT Geom encode which does not exceed a fixed string length. For this I know that each line should have no more than ~1250 vertices, so I want to simplify the line to this number if the coordinate count exceeds this. Regards, Rob

I have looked at multiple spatial joining transformers and I am trying to create a 1 to many join by using a line feature I derived from a polygon. This line feature needs to take the same adjacent polygon attribute so 2 values need to be in the outp

So essentially the lines are the boundary of this polygon. I have tried spatial relator which only sometimes gives me a 1 to many join on every other line, I tried neighborfinder but I can get the attributes to copy over. I have specified merged attributes but it doesn't seem to be working. Not sure what I am doing wrong and help will be appreciated. The images show what I would like to achieve in FME.

Raster: get as an attribute the number of pixels with a determined value.

Hi everyone.I am trying to obtain a csv file with some information about several raster files. One of the attributes I need to get is the number of pixels with a determined value (in my case I need, among others, two attributes for each raster: the number of pixels with value=0 and with value=255). Is there any transformer for that?Thanks!

Extracting simplified 3D geometries from solids

I have some Autocad data where the objects are constructed as 3D solids, like this:The 3D data is nice for many uses, but I would also like to extract a simplified version for our GIS databases. The Surface Footprint Replacer will generate a nice polygon, but will also remove the elevation and return 2D data. Is there a way to get a footprint that retains the elevations of the "top face" of the solid? I most cases this face is flat, but in some cases, like ducts and pipes, this is not the case.

Enable HTTPS using ADDS Certificate: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

saving Email parameters on FME flow

For an automation running on FME Flow is there a method save the parameters used to send an email? Currently we have many email services set up and are switching email servers around. It would be nice to be able to update the credentials for one source opposed to having to edit the parameters in each automation individually.

Allowed to drop but not create table across databases in arcgis

I used the drop and create option on tthe tableI get the error , [DDL operations are not allowed across database boundaries.]} My question is how can ArcGIS allow you to drop a table but not create it again?

How do I cascade several "readers" together before writing?

This is what I am trying to accomplish in FME:A. Read a .jpg file, clip collars, add GCPs.B. Feed that into a GeoTiff reader to convert to GeoTiff.C. Feed the GeoTiff into a CADRG writer (requires GeoTiff for input). I've done this with some (limited) success using "reader to GeoTiff writer",then "GeoTiff reader to CADRG writer". (see my previous post on how the resultant GeoTiff raster was flipped horizontally) As the GeoTiff is an intermediate format, how can I streamline this flow? Thanksbill

We are currently using FME server version FME Server 2021.1.3 and FME Workbench 2021.0.1 and we wanted to upgrade the FME server to the latest version, so if we upgrade the server will it be some issues with the old workbench automations already running in the FME Server. Or the old workbench is compatibile for the upgraded FME server ?

How to use a main dataset and a lookup dataset to create new columns without using an attribute filter?

I have two data sets - one is a 'main' dataset and the other is a 'lookup' dataset containing further information. In my main dataset I have a columns called 'Visibility' and 'road_condition' that contain a range of values from 1-13. There are over 4000 rows in the dataset. In my lookup dataset, I have 'code' and 'Column' columns that contain further information relating to each record in the main dataset. See screenshots of the data below. Is there a way to create new columns in the main dataset called 'Visibility_Info' and 'Road_Condition_Info' that merges the data from the main and lookup datasets together without filtering each of the values in the 'Column' column individually before passing the data through to a FeatureMerger?

How to automate Field Calculation After Joining Data in FME Desktop?

Hello everyone! I'm a new FME Desktop user seeking some guidance. I've successfully managed to join tabular data with an existing GIS layer and write the data using the ArcSDE Geodb writer with the "truncate" option to update an existing feature class. Now, I'm looking to automate a new process in FME. Specifically, I want to join a table to a feature class and calculate one of the fields in the feature class using a value from the table I've joined. Is it possible to achieve this without overwriting the entire feature class, only updating the specific field's value? Your insights and assistance would be greatly appreciated!
