Transformers

The error I am receiving just says: Error running translation. Thoughts?

perhaps the easiest way ahead is to explain the bigger picture of what I am trying to achieve. I want to produce individual location maps and block plans for about 30,000 properties. Each plan would be centered its dedicated property but show some detail of neighboring houses and roads etc. I am trying to use the clipper (using buffered property land parcels as the clipper) to clip a base map. Obviously the clippers overlap. The way the clipper works, each clipper takes a bite through the base map, and outputs the result. This means that some properties have many bite chunks removed from their data and their output is incomplete. Ive used FME for over 20 years, but I me not a techy programmer. Ideally the Clipper transformer would have tick box option that says 'retain input clippees for multiple processing' or something....... All suggestions welcome. Regards Dave     

Hi everyone,  Every time I load a reader into Workbench I get an error similar to this "Workspace generation failed. Parameter file was /private/var/folders/tr/rfmmyq590j17jq9ndl8my5lh0000gn/T/FME_1635634267372_8830."  Not sure what the issue is any help would be very much appreciated.  

I'm trying to find and replace a string from a text file where the first part is constant, then the second part of it could be anything, then the last part is a constant. I want to change some of the 'last part' text, keeping the first part + the second part (which could be anything) remain the same. I hope the highly simplified example below illustrates what I mean: Input text: This is constant Line 1 *This is anything Line 2* This is constant again and will change, Line 3Output result: This is constant Line 1 This is anything Line 2 This Line 3 has now changed Does anyone know how this could be accomplished? The files being fed in have hundreds of occurrences of the last part so the first part + second part (though this could be anything, a wildcard perhaps?) + last part search should ensure only one result. I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,  I'm making a workbench where I try to write to a file GDB. To be able to use a fileGBD FME needs to be able to detect a ArcGIS license.  We do have arcmap and arcgis pro, but not on the virtual machine that runs FME. Do I need to install arcmap or arcgis pro on this machine to be able to write to file GDB's ?  thanks in advance

I am trying to connect to an Esri vector Basemap through the REST Endpoint but am having difficulty setting up my workspace. Has anyone had any success with this as of yet? I was able to do this with a JSON filter on the older raster basemaps, but cannot do the same for the vectors basemaps. I am ultimately trying to pull imagery from a specified extent.  Here is the URL of the endpoint in question:https://basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/OpenStreetMap_v2/VectorTileServer?f=json Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!

In the JSONTemplater is there a way to cast an array of strings into an array of intergers? https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hA0SSAU/how-to-coerce-attribute-type-for-jsontemplater?t=1636407693748  answers the question for regular attributes   but this does not work with fme:get-list-attribute. {"ids": [(fme:get-list-attribute("_list{}.id"))] }returns {"ids": ["1","2","3"]}    I would like{"ids": [1,2,3]}  

Hi every oneI have a lot of CityGML files and want to edit the roof type for some of them. After that I want to write it again as it was at first:1-Some normal Buildings and some Buildings containing Building parts2-Each address attached to a building3- roof, wall, and ground surfaces attached to each building But this part of connecting child and parent doesn't work. I attached my Fme file. Can somebody help me? It is really frustrating.

Can anyone explain what I need to do in FME to connect to an ArcGIS Pro Layout to create the PDF Map of the Layout. Do I need the FME Data Interop Extension in ArcGIS Pro to do this via Python? Does anyone have examples of this code?

As stated, I am trying to add both geodb_polygon & geodb_attributes readers, and polygon gets added twice. Everything under General is grayed out and I am unable to change 'Allowed Geometries' on one of them to geodb_attribute. Geodb's were created using Arc 10.8.1

I am trying to write data to a xml data format. The problem is that I get an extra tag or element as shown in the following screenshot, so my first question is how can I get rid of the element which ends with -tabel? My second question is: In the element name I add some extra information like id and parent id. I add this in the xml writer Feature Type Name. This addition comes in the head of the element as well as in the tail as shown in the following screenshot. Is there a way to show it only in the head of the element? I want to have something like the following screenshot: I hope that someone have an idea and will have the time to help me here 🙂  Kind regards,,,

Good Afternoon, I would like to remove the south and Est limit from bounding polygons. Indeed, I have a matrix composed of multiple bounding polygons, their limits are topologic. I need to make geometric operations on points intersecting these polygons. A point can belong to one unique polygon. Unfortunately, some points are located on limits from 2 polygons. The solution I would like to do is to create a new matrix where the limits south and est of each polygon are removed : Consequently, the polygons won't be topological anymore : In this case, a point cannot belong to 2 polygons unsing intersection method.I tried polygoncutter (using the polygon and the limits as Input), but it seems not to work : Any idea?Thank you  

I am transforming a shapefile of roughly 25,000 Los Angeles County parcel polygons into cityGML for upload to Cesium Ion. The translation is successful in FME Workbench, but when it uploads to Cesium Ion, it makes the following error in the Cesium Ion assets browser:  We were unable to process your data due to the following issue:Error: Input does not contain any eligible features for tiling.Read about what data formats are supported on Cesium ion. which is not very helpful. When I view the resulting cityGML file in FME Data Inspector, I see that all of the separate parcel polygons have become one joined polygon (and the extent probably should be trimmed). I see from the tables that I have created one CityModel and roughly 25,000 GenericCityObjects with missing column data. I've attached screenshots that show the values I am getting. What might I be doing wrong? For the 3DForcer height I used 3.0 without units. I'm wondering how to specify units, whether that is necessary (beca

Hi, I have the following table: What I want is to get the column names into a new table as values: Everyday there will be a new name for Column3,4,5,6. The new name should just be added to table without deleting the old values. How do i get the column names into the table?

Hi! I have a dataset with 75,000 entries that were user inputted, and therefore have several typos. For example, they are proper nouns, some are labelled "kathryn" vs "katheryn" vs "kathrye". I'm trying to find out how to use a fuzzymatcher where each of these is matched to the ID that they most align with. Some challenges here:1) This is a register, so there may be 50 entries that are labelled "katheryn" and 50 entries that are labelled "kathryn". If I use a fuzzymatcher which doesn't have a threshold, then it doesn't work for me as each one connects to itself. I'm considering a similarity ratio between 0.7 and 0.99 for this reason.2) I want to preserve all entries, as entries include other data that I need for further analysis. Ideally, the output would be a column which uses an identifier for all entries that fall within the similarity threshold. Do you know how I can do this? Apologies if it isn't clear, I don&#3

Hello FME Community! Year long learner, first time poster, please go easy on me.  I've been trying to add a prefix to all files within a directory. I have searched the forums for answers, and have tried a few different suggestions from previous posts but for some reason, my files don't get renamed. In this example, I would like to add "2022-" as a prefix to all filenames in a folder. So far, I have used the "Directory and File Pathnames" Reader with the following settings:Next, I have used the Attribute Manager to change the filename properties:Finally, using the File Copy Writer to put the files into the same directory:I can't figure out which settings may be wrong or not completed properly. Thanks in advance for any help or tips! Stefanhttps://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hKw8SAE/quick-way-too-rename-files-for-noobs

I have a shapefile in which the download URLs of many tiff images are written in the attribute "RGB". I have to download all tiffs and save to my filesystem. I first tried with the HTTPcaller transformer which downloaded the files but named them all after the header description. I couldn't find a way to determine the filename in the transformer when "save response Body to" was set to "file". Then I saw a post from Takashi in which the FeatureReader transformer was used to download files. This downloads the files into an fme-Temp directory and I am able to name the indivual files according to an attribute in the Shapefile, but after the transformer has done it's work, all the tiffs are automatically deleted. Unfortunately I have no idea what's doing on here but i'm sure i'm only a short step away from being able to download the tiff files to a directory of my choice with the correct filename. Could anyone show me what i'm forgetting?

could anyone please guide me on this step by step.

Hi all,I've drawing as a SmartSolid in Microstation with tag attributes.But, FME recognized my solid drawing as wireframe of solid. So how can i re-solid of this wireframe? or how can i import data as a Solid? not a wireframe.I also need to tag attribute value on solid in FME. So I don't want to lose them. Thanks. 

I've had a look at a couple of the Inspire tutorials on writing Inspire data in particular the following:https://community.safe.com/s/article/eu-inspire-initiative-tutorialhttps://community.safe.com/s/article/inspire-natural-risk-zones-demo-annex-iiiThe issue that I am hitting is I am losing my geometries in the last step and I cannot for the life of me see why. I am missing something but cannot see it so any pointers from the community appreciated. I've attached a workflow and test data.In the screen shot below I can see the geometries in the geometry property setter but do not get written. 

I'm breaking my Roadway center line into each Vertex and when I use a spatial filter I'm unable to get 100% match. Any help? I'm planning to use line builder to create each line between each Vertex and remove the fake lines as some roadways have "multipart poly lines" ..Where m = two GPS locations. I hope to spatial filter those out.  This is the start of my work space, and I cannot get 100% match? Same GPS coords, I looked at the GPS value 7 decimals down and they match.  449024.999979021

 i would like to write different numbers for input parameters 2354 or 6985 or 4893i mean ,i want to add different input numbers and inside the workspace i have added test filter for the input user parameters if specific attribute has 2354 or 6985 or 4893 should do function .so my question : how could i add input parameters more than id numbersFME 2018 ,thanks in advance

A FeatureReader typically outputs data features on defined data ports, plus the "<Schema>" and "<Initiator>" ports.I know that "<Schema>" features gets output before any data features (from that schema), but what about "<Initiator>" ?Does this feature get output at the very end, i.e. after all data (for this initiator) has been output ?If not, is there a way to initiate a downstream transformer _after_ all data has been output ?
