Transformers

I'm new to FME and I've found a couple different coordinate systems that will produce different results. Primarily I will use Reprojection to US48-DUKE before any of these tools but I'm not sure what the community would say and maybe have a better answer? Thanks!

I am trying to ETL an LRS-enabled routes layer currently stored in a Geomedia database into a ESRI format that is consistent with typical LRS operations like dynamic segmentation.  The issue is that the fundamental data models that handle measure values within a calibrated route network are different in the two software packages.  In Geomedia, routes are segmented into a series of features (or rows), all of which share a common routeID, and all of which have (as exposed attributes) begin_measure and end_measure. Unlike in the ESRI world, the measure values are not stored in the vertices but in the attributes.  Question is... how do I use FME to efficiently move measure values from attributes of lines in Geomedia data into m values within vertices of lines in ArcGIS data?  Thanks in advance... Adam

Hello, How can I utilize a User Parameter in the SQL To Run After Write? I have a User Parameter (Text Value) with a default value of parcels@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y%m%d)  The parameter works when setting the table name for the new table in the DB and the table is properly created: But when the user parameter is used in the SQL To Run After Write, it causes an error. Is that because the value of the User Parameter contains formatters? This line in the SQL:UPDATE '$(ImportTableName)'(I've tried with and without the quotes surrounding the parameter, btw) evaluates to this in the console (and the SQL):UPDATE 'parcels@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y%m%d%H%M)'How can I use this parameter in the SQL? Alternatively, how can I utilize a name that is generated at workspace runtime for the table name and subsequently reference it in the SQL?

Hi, I have a ground geometry like this:So this is an aggregate feature, based on faces! Now I will resolve this into a polygon like this: it is not working with Aggregation based on building_id of the buildings! Than I have an aggregate feature like in the first picture  Is this kind of transformation possible? 

Dear Community, I want to read few CCTV inspection reports for pipe inspection which contains details about City, asset number, Inspection info from CCTV report, pipe information from CCTV inspection, defect information etc. in different line. I want to read this pdf in FME and convert those details in the table format. May I have a detail tutorial to understand ...how we can do this process in FME?

I'm trying to read raster data from postGIS using the 'PostGIS Raster' FeatureReader and keep getting an error about band metadata. However, I can load in the same raster data OK via a select statement in a SQLExecutor transformer. The rasters in question only have one band, but I don't imagine that should be an issue.  As the data returned via the SQLExecutor look fine, I'm assuming that there is nothing wrong with the data in postGIS, but the error is making me question that... The error I'm getting is;2022-03-30 15:46:00|  0.2| 0.0|ERROR |Error executing SQL command  ('SELECT ST_BandMetaData("rast",1), to_char(ST_BandNoDataValue("rast",1),'9.9999999999999999EEEE') FROM "schema"."table" WHERE "pk_index" = '1'') :'ERROR: table-function protocol for value-per-call mode was not followed CONTEXT: SQL function "st_bandmetadata" statement 1' Any thoughts or help much appreci

Hello, I would like to ask about converting a vegetation model from .skp to Citygml, but in the end it cannot be displayed in layers like buildings, do I need to set an extended ADE, I tried to select the feature type output of buildings such as wall surface, but Can not output successfully. What I want to ask is how to output a CITYGML vegetation model that can be displayed in layers

I have a polygon and I want to know the angle α  , β  , γ of each line.With the PointPropertyExtractor I get the Eula Angle if I set it beforehand with the PointPropertySetter and then rotate the object.Is there a possibility to find the angular inclination of the line to α , β , γ differently? PolylineAnalyzer, HorizontalAngle and TopologyBuilder have not helped me so far.   

We recently moved some processes from Esri tools into FME. One of these has a slope calculation component. We expected to see minor differences between Esri/FME but instead we are seeing differences of up to 15 degrees difference.Further investigation showed that by default, Esri uses a planar based algorithm. FME (and QGIS) only use a geodesic based algorithm. Esri does also have the option of using geodesic. The original Esri process was using the default planar algorithm. When these are compared to the geodesic outputs (FME, Esri and QGIS) considerable differences are apparent. Comparing the three different geodesic outputs shows that the results are (almost) the same – as expected.This difference has considerable ramifications for the application using these slope values. Looking at Esri documentation, it does state the geodesic is ‘more accurate’, but this doesn’t explain the 15 degree differences we’re seeing.We have raised this question with Esri, but are wondering if anyone her

Dear community, I am fully out of ideas - we cannot successfully establish a sharepoint connection in order to make the List Reader work. I guess we tried everything and we followed the instruction here and the video here to the detail. The only thing that is really working - and that requires a super user with all possible admin rights - is the first option to replace the [TENANT] in the web service definition:The multitenant app our admins created for me comes along with all the rights as per tutorial - but no matter if I try the multitenant or the singletenant way of connecting, I always get this prompt which is basically telling that admin approval is necessary in order to access the resources of my organization:When we magically made it happen that the url got successfully tested (by simplifying the request URL) I am ending up with something like this when adding the SP List reader:Our local support at axmann.at cannot assist as well since this lies somewhere in the domain of admi

I'd like to combine headers from 2 lines in Excel to form 1 attribute name.Should result in feature with attributes ID, AAA_XXX and BBB_YYYI've looked at debbiatsafe solution at Bulk Rename Attributes with Original Name plus the First Row (safe.com) but that doesn't do it all the way.Need to have the features with the attribute names to continue working with in the workspace.Any hints on how to proceed? 

I have the same issue identified within this question but whilst using the PostGIS Raster transformer (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008p86kRSAQ/postgis-loading-default-values-being-overwritten-by-nulls-in-feature-writer) As suggested in the answer I downloaded the most recent Beta (FME(R) 2022.0.0.0 (20220323 - Build 22311 - WIN64) ) and gave it another try. Unfortunatley I still get an error when trying to write to my PostGIS raster table. The issue seems to be related to the columns with default values I am not trying to write to. FME seems to be attempting to write nulls to these columns.  Is the Advanced > Missing Attribute Behaviour functionality also going to be included within the raster writer or another way around this? Error message from log:  2022-03-29 09:36:45| 1.6| 0.0|ERROR |Bulk copy failed on table 'prime_data.paleodem' using delimiter ':'.

Since we use FME 2021.2 I get many failed objects with the geometry validator, while with fme 2020 it did not yield any failed objects. Is there a substantial difference in the geometry validator between the 2020 and 2021 version?

I have a very simple workbench that is taking a MapInfo file, reprojects it and sends it to an ArcSDE database in Oracle. For some of the MapInfo files it works fine but others only the objectid and shape attributes come across. The writer, drops and creates the table but does not create all fields in some cases.  Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case? Regards Dean

hello,Is there a way of extracting data(maybe from loG) about start and end of workspace execution, as long as errors (if there are any?), in order to insert them in a table? thx,Nicu

In my case, I have JSON object that contains table and it values in array. I am trying to extract each table object from JSON and insert it features(columns) array values into postgresql table based on table name. The json structure will change every time and it is dynamic. Input:{  {    "table": "Table1",    "key": "2343",    "features": [      {        "status": "Finished",        "id": "1234",        "kind": "Unknown",        "project_name": "XXXXXX"      }    ]  }  {    "table": "Table2",    "key": "2667190",    "features": [      {        "column1": "test",        "column2": "A",        "status": "Unknown",        }    ]  },} Expected output:

My database is >13.000 points from 6 different vessels. I need to create lines for each day, for each vessel. The lines have to be created in chronological order. I'm trying to group the dates after sorting, for then build the line using both datetime and vessel name parameters. I have converted date time format (ex 20210415165357, which is YYYYMMDDHHMMmm) to 2021-04-15 (YYYY-MM-DD). Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi All, I'm try to find the best way to analyse the begin and end of line and check if this line is connected in the both vertices ( begin and end ). As you can see in image bellow, the line number 3 is connected in the begin and end of the line.And the others line are not.A DGN file is attached. Thanks in Advance,Danilo

 Hi !I'm having a problem while writing into a template file, see image of log error. In fact, out of about 20 translations, there is one with this problem arising while writing data. Can someone tell me if it's a bug with FME or about my parameters ? I doubt the problem with my parameters, because very often it works well while wring the Excel file.Please help ! Thank you.

I am trying to extract text from a data catalog website to use for metadata updating. I think I have all the pieces to get a line of text with the correct CSS selector. The problem is that the HTTPCaller doesn't even seem to register anything after the <header> tag so I can't extract anything in the main body. My output always comes out null.Here are a few screenshots of trying to just extract the title of the dataset page:The _response_body returned from the HTTPCaller doesn't even have the main <body> section.Is there any way to force the HTTPCaller to recognize anything past the header tag or is this a security feature of the government website? Thank you for your help!
