Transformers

Pretty sure someone has this resolved. But I just could not find a clean solution to a seemingly basic request...Before we do an overlay operation of Layer A and Layer B, we need to first test if their CSs are the same. If they are not, Layer A needs to be reprojected to the CS of Layer B.CoordinateSystemExtractor is used to extract CS as "Attribute" from the two respective layers. But that was how far we could go: A - How can we compare the CS when the two CS Attributes are in two different datasets? B - How can we set the "Destination CS" parameter in the Reprojector transformer of Layer A to point to the CS Attribute from Layer B?Thanks!

I am using FME workbench plugins in ArcGIS Pro to translate my IFC to Shapefile, where after I assign a coordination system for London it shows many projection error. So, how to solve it? Is there any solution for it? 

hello,i am confused a little bit ,how can i use FeatureMerger correctly.I have two excel on my workspace ,Excel A : has three rows but one of them is duplicate from Excel B ,and two rows not .Excel B has 50 rowsi want to merge Excel A with Excel Band if we have any duplicate row (i mean the one of Excel A) ,remove the duplicates and keep the rest of rows .so As a result,i need to have Excel that contains 52 rows .i read alot the Documentation but iam still confused in adjust properties of Featuremerger ,i will be thankful if someone help me .thanks 

FME 2018.1.1.2 Is this expected behaviour? I've set 2 Lists to be removed from the WorkBench features by AttributeManager. Opening the Partial Results of the Output Port in Data Inspector, they are indeed removed.Yet, in the very next Transformer (happens to be TopologyBuilder) the 2 Lists reappear again on the Features when the Output Port is inspected in Data Inspector, complete with the original list values? Not only that, but trying to remove them with a subsequent AttributeManager, AttributeKeeper etc. does not work, because these Transformers don't think that either of the Lists exist anymore in the Schema and hence won't appear in the selection of Attributes/Lists available to modify! These Lists continue down the Workflow in the Partial Results but remain invisible in the Schema. Further, if I replace the AttributeManager with an AttributeKeeper, the Lists stay removed (and I guess is a workaround?). I'm guessing this may be a bug in how AttributeManager tries

Hi,I have a bunch of JPEGs taken with a drone that contain spatial information within the embedded exif.I am trying to enable each JPEG with the end goal of georeferencing them so that they can be made into a mosaic. I have tried combining transformers such as the PhotoCoordinateExtracter, CoordinateSystemSetter, RasterGeoreferencer, and the RasterMosaicker to no success.Also tried FeatureWriter to GeoTIFF then FeatureReader to no avail. When I drag them (JPEG or GEOTIFF) to ArcGIS for example, they all occupy the same space.What is the best workflow for this?Cheers

Hello,I would like to tranpose my data into a new table format. I found a similar post here https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/88862/transposing-data-into-a-new-table.htmlBut I am not able to get the result I want. The main difference is that I have much more columns and rows than in the post I mentioned above.The dataset I have:DBKAlCl...10.151.1...20.201.2...30.251.3...............With the 3 dots I want to indicate that it is a large amount of data. So much more columns and much more rows as well.I would like to get the following format:DBKParameterValue1Al0.151Cl1.11......2Al0.202Cl1.22......3Al0.253Cl1.33............... So the three dots indicate that there are much more parameters for each DBK and there are also more DBK's.In the post I mentioned above they use an AttributeExposer at the end. But I don't know how to use the AttributeExposer in my case because I cannot mannualy enter all the different values due to the large amount of data.Does anyone have a solution for

Hello!I am wondering how can I use FME to analyse graphe?I have points that represent a surface and I would like to analyse these surfaces with local maximum and/or minimum. But the surfaces are not always simple, some of them is almost like a line, but some of them are like a roof - as represented on the picture.Is there any way to fit a line to these points, and analyse the parameters of these lines, like determinant. Or is there any algorithm that could compare these generated lines with sample functions?Do you have any advice?

This one is already solved. Writing is for documentation only as I could not find the solution here.I had to debug a workbench from a coworker which was failing with the following error:WARN  |ChartGenerator: Non-numeric input provided.  Please validate that the values of the "X Attribute","Y Attribute" and "Error Attribute" (if supplied) are numericFATAL |f_24(PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to close properlyERROR |f_24(PythonFactory): A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsDue to the log pointing to non numeric input in the ChartGenerator it took me some time to find out that the error was caused by something different: One of the attribute names used in the ChartGenerator in the "Y attribute" contained a space.I tested this in desktop 2017.1.1.0 / 2017.1.1.1 / 2018 beta (build 18220).This is a known issue and filed under C133238.

Hi there, I am applying a filter on record using tester transformer. My test clauses contains multiple And/OR conditions. I have attached screenshot of the test clauses. The problem is tester does not filter the record the way I wrote the condition. For example, I dont want to include the record in which CAUSE attribute has value 2A or 2B. However, in the tester passed category contains the record that has CAUSE value of 2A or 2B. Similarly, I do want to include the record in which the description attribute contains the value "BLOWN LV FUSE". However, passed category does contain those records. Could anyone guide me where am I making the mistake?

I would like to use an attribute value for a new attribute name using the Attribute Creator transformer, but this just not working. The new attribute is not created even if we can parameter the Attribute Creator to do so:I am using FME 2018.1.0.1 64bitsI have found this old question with the same issue. According to the accepted answer, the issue was suppose to be fixed in FME 2017. So is the problem fixed or not?

I am working on a project where I have to create maps. I have a file gdb and a personal database .mdb. Everytime I have to create a map I have to join them. Is there any way that the .mdb file can be just linked to the .gdb file so I dont have to do the join operation? Is there a way where the attributes that are stored in the .mdb file are just incorporated in the file geodatabase without doing the join operation?I further intend to convert the file geodatabase to a shape file, such that each feature layer has its own attribute table.Any help willl be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!@takashi @david_r @redgeographics

Hi All, I have date values in five columns, however, not all rows have date values in all five columns. For example, row 1 has values for columns 1, 2 and 3; row 2 has values for columns 1, 2, 3 and 4; row 3 has values for columns 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; row 4 has value for column 1 only; and row 5 has values for columns 1 and 2. The rest of the columns not mentioned in each row have <missing> values.I want to create a new column called DATE and populate it with the last date before a column value of <missing>. For example, row 1 will have the date value from column 3; row 2 from column 4; row 3 from column 5; row 4 from column 1; and row 5 from column 2.

Hi,Any ideas how to generate a 3D footprint of a 3D object (e.g. solid)? Z value of the vertices of the footprint not zero.Something like deaggregating a 3D object to all individual surfaces and selecting only the locally lowest faces...Jasper

Hello everybody!I have a process that on ine libe calculates some values and write out in a text file. On an other line a system caller usues these files as an input data (with lascontrol command).I would like to know how can I define to delay these seconfd line until the file writer is not ready. 'Cause now the command gives back an error like: there is no input data (so the textfile).Here is a screenshot of the process.

What I want: changing temp location on the server with the FME Server express installation.  Last week, I installed FME server "express installation" on windows server and added a seperate engine also on a windows server.I added on both servers an FME_TEMP environment variable with a reference to another "temp disk", and restarted all the services on both servers. The seperate engine machine is writing the temp files verry well to this location, but the server with the "express installation" not. What can I do more to changing the temp location for this machine?

Hi there, I have a record that consists of 10 attributes/columns. I want to remove duplicate from the record. The duplicate would be based on the value of 5 attributes. When I say duplicate, it means that reduce the number of duplicate records to 1. I read the existing thread on the forum where someone recommended to use Matcher. However, Matcher categorizes the record into duplicate and non-duplicate. I don't want categorization. I want to reduce the duplicate records to 1 record. I also tried to use ListDuplicateremover, the problem in that was it only showed the name of one attribute. Any suggestion

Hello!I have some problem, how I can transform 3D surface (roof) to 2D surface? I want to do something like that:I used 2D forcer but I got different results area surfacace (3D and 2D), Maybe I'm using this function incorrectly??  

The AttributeExploder transformer exposes nonexisting list attributes when newly added to the canvas (using the default settings with Exploding Type = 'Features' instead of list)For this transformer I would guess that the Exploding Type would regulate which features should be exposed at the output port. I.e. using the default names (_attr_list, _attr_name, _attr_value);Choosing the Exploding Type = 'Features' should only expose the attributes '_attr_name' and '_attr_value', while choosing the Exploding Type = 'List' should only expose the list attributes _attr_list{}._attr_name and _attr_list{}._attr_value.This is only not the case when the transformer is newly added to the canvas, but is the case when the Exploding Type attribute is altered... Furthermore, I would guess that when the Exploding Type is set to features the Attribute Name/Value Label field should be greyed out, similar to how the List Name field is greyed out when the Exploding Typ

Setting the option 'Remove Source XML Attribute' to 'yes' within the XMLXQueryExtractor transformer only clears (but doesn't remove) the attribute.It would be nice if the behaviour would be similar to an 'AttributeRemover' transformer, that truly removes the attribute from the 'set of exposed attributes' 

How do I remove/filter out the column that says "ADRESS_ID"/ETC?
