Transformers

I recently tried to update an older workspace with a TestFilter that is used to branch data out using basic logic. After the update, the workspace failed in an odd fashion and after a bit of troubleshooting it turned out that one of the tested attributes, “fme_feature_type” in this case, was getting changed to nulls for many, but not all of the resulting rows. The change was from TestFilter Version 2 to Version 3. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I’m running FME Form Build 25815.

Hi all, I would like to trim the first 7 characters from all the columns in my dataset. I think this can be accomplished with the BulkAttributeRenamer. But I'm struggling with the String Parameter. Any ideas?

Hi there,I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but I am trying to use the new ESRI ArcGIS Feature Service connection to read a public layer from another organisations AGOL account. I have it working using Standalone Server as the source type. I can’t seem to get it working using the ArcGIS Online source type as I don’t have a login to their AGOL and I don’t need one as it’s public data. I can only login to our own AGOL account.Anyway I have this working - it’s reading the data but I am now coming across the whole reading dates as Epoc time again and my DateTImeConverter is spitting the dummy.I have updated the reader to v3.20.1 and I have checked out the article below:Esri ArcGIS Feature Service - Reads Dates as Epoch Milliseconds | CommunityIt is showing that you need to change

Whenever I try to open the AttributeRenamer transform properties, FME Form crashes. It doesnt matter if it is an existing workflow or if I start a new one woth nothing but only one AttributeRenamer. Any thoughts, anyone? The screenshot below if from FME Academy: But it also happens on an otherwise empty workflow:  

Hi.This is either a no-brainer that I haven’t figured out, or not doable, I think. But it’s a simple task.I need to count the items in a JSON array, but I need to do it in a looping custom transformer, so it needs to be non-blocking.In a custom transformer, I use a HttpCaller to get a JSON response, which includes an array of items. I may have to issue more http calls within the custom transformer, so it contains a loop back to its input.JSONFragmenter can easily find the array items, but as features, not in a list format, so I need to use a blocking transformer like Aggregator to count them. This is no-go.So either I need to extract the JSON array items into a list, and use ListElementCounter to find the length, or count the JSON array items in a different non-blocking way.Does anyone have a solution for either of these tasks ?Cheers.

Apologies if this has already been asked - seems like it should already have been reported.FME Form 2025.0.1FeatureWriter Version 0Writing to Esri Geodatabase on MSSQL Server 2019When using either Create if Needed, or Drop and Create table handling, the geodatabase_sde writer appears to ignore the table qualifier set on the feature type. The table gets successfully created, visible in SSMS - but under the default user database schema eg: domain\john.smith.FeatureClass1 However the flow then fails because at some stage it does take into account the table qualifier and is looking for a table called sde.FeatureClass1

In the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service I can reference a Feature Service in the parameters with the service name and an ide.g.But in the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service it’s not possible without a group? Is this correct?Is there some secret syntax i’m missing?

Hello all,I want to build a Tester that detects if an attribute value has a left-bracket in the stringFor example;ASCOT (TOOWOOMBA REGIONAL)Would be detected, because it has brackets surrounding TOOWOOMBA REGIONALI then want to extract just ASCOT and throw away that part of the string in brackets 

hi everyone! some of my line features (ex. pipes) have text features floating above (top left) of the line, describing what type of pipe it is. I want to add that text as an attribute field to that feature. but also not all of the lines have one and I want it to only match if it's describing that feature (not grabbing a random text field nearby). This is my workflow so far, with some brief descriptions. I'll also note that everytime I've tried to use neighborfinder, the autocad_text_string AND fme_text_string values of certain lines show numbers (ex. 356.77, 623.44) instead of the descriptive text it should have shown. im guessing those are possible distance values it’s grabbing….I've been trying this for hours and would appreciate any help given. thanks in advance! my workflow is attached below.

Hi All,I am working on an automation process to generate cutlines for use in a map series. These cutlines must have a consistent length and be positioned within the overlapping areas of the map sheets. In addition, the cutlines need to follow the orientation of the main alignment to support accurate mapping production. Below is an example illustrating the challenge: I have tried several workarounds, but I have not been able to get it to work.Any ideas?Thanks :)

So im reading the dwg file to fme, than just want to put it out to elswhere, while converting the elements to an autocad block. The problem is that no matter how i parameter the feature writer, it messes up the output dwg file. So the elements need to look like this:But after writing out to the new dwg they look like this mess:I also put the feature writer parameters here:I tried to aggregate the features, in that case this problem doesn't occur, but than i loose all the colors and other attributes, which is not an option.

I was busy creating a Custom Transformer and wanted to link a Published Parameter to the Advanced Parameter 'Maximum number of iterations’.  However, the dropdown option shown below did not pop up. This screenshot is showing a workbench derived from this tutorial:Looping with Blocking Transformers – FME Support Center Any clues?

Hello, I use the TemplateToDocumentBuilder. All numbers are formatted equally. I would like to format as current. 4233,78 --> 4.233,78 €How can I do this?

Hoping someone could provide me with a comlplete example of how to use fmeobjects.FMEFactoryPipeline() in a PythonCaller Specifically I would like to take points as in input and use the SurfaceModelFactory with the undocumented parameter MAXIMUM_EDGE_CALC_LENGTH to hopefully produce a mesh with trimmed edges.   

I am using feature reader to connect to an ArcGIS Online feature service.The feature service has multiple layers in there. I want to use a where clause against 1 layer only to filter the results from that table, but not apply the where clause to the other tables. 

In the column 'knoopnr', each feature consists of a fixed ID (in this example 'HT005500') and a variable ID (B1, B2, BL1, ...). The fixed ID is therefore identical for every row within a project, but it differs from project to project. In another project, for example, the fixed ID could be 'KWL735' for every row. Is it possible to identify the fixed ID and retain only the variable ID?

I am trying to join SQL data with csv data.  The field coming from SQL is uint32.  The field in the CSV is Char but converted to uint32.  Im joining the sets on this field and I get no matches.  here is the SQL data:Here is the CSV date after conversion to uint32:Feature Joiner information:

Hi, Is there anyone able to make the Quebec Adresses Geocoder work ?https://servicescarto.mern.gouv.qc.ca/pes/rest/services/Territoire/AdressesQuebec_Geocodage/GeocodeServerI can’t make it work and don’t know why.Thanks! 

Found that I had an old thread on the same subject. My question now should be: Are there any new methods that are faster than those suggested in the thread above?  --original question---I am trying to speed up a work bench. What I have: DTM georasters where the highest (statCalcMax) cell value of each raster has been extracted into an attribute. The other cells have been given a nodata value. What I want: I need to find the x-y postiton of the cells that have a value in each raster as fast as possible. I would like to find a way to somehow filter out only pixels that have a value before any spatial/geometry processing. What I tried but found to slow:The methods below convert the cells into points before identifying the cells I need. This make

Hello All!I am trying to geocode a series of addresses that are in a CSV using a geocoding service on Portal/ArcGIS Server (11.x). I have the web services connection authenticated and specified in the tool, and have tried the URL with and without the “findAddressCandidates” section - the results are still being rejected stating that the address hasn’t been supplied. I’ve also tried using a string concatenator to create the address string before connecting it to the Geocoder transformer & I’ve also tried to call out the address using its individual components using the text editor and calling out the specific fields in the format of “100 Street Name, City, State Zip”.I feel like there’s something obvious that I might be missing - I’m just not 100% sure what it may be. Thank you for the help in advance! 

Good morning yall, Im banging my head trying to find the issue as to why I cannot read this.I have TemppathnameCreator before my google drive connector. google drive is saving a folder to that temp locationfeature reader is supposed to grab that drive folder and read a csv out of it.Ill paste some screenshots below. Hopefully is some setting in the feature reader. Much help is appreciated!

Trying to understand how the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner works. Set to Fill All Gaps No and Repair Method Priority (Edge Preserving) with a tolerance of 1mSo why does it change the boundary of this polygon where it neither overlaps or is a gap (it’s the edge of coverage)
