Transformers

In a file geodatabase, I have created over 400 feature classes. To each feature class, attributes will be added. Therefore I have created a workbench in which several tables are joined. An intermediate result is a table which contains a field called ‘Attribuut’. This column contains the names of all the target attributes, each row one attribute. This intermediate table also contains a field (‘Gegevenstype’) which describes how the future attribute is defined (field type). A simple ‘Attribute creator’ transformer does not do the job. I have read and tried several possible solutions on the FME-forum, but unfortunately without result. To understand how the process works, a tester is added to create a table for one specific feature class. When the process functions properly, a loop will be added to perform the job for all objecttypes.Can anyone help???

I am creating an AGOL to KML converter. I want all labels to be off when viewing in google earth, but I can not find how to disable point feature labels. These points are represented by icons. I have set the opacity to 0 using the KMLStyler and the setting for “Create Labels on Lines” is set to No (which successfully disables line labels), but the labels for point features still appear. There also appears to be no option to remove labels in the KMLPropertySetter.

Hi All,I wanted to dissolve (or merge) little slivers with the biggest adjacent polygon to harmonise my data, an example below where you can see the little slivers (selected): How can I achieve this with FME?Thanks :)

Hi,I have a workspace transforming data to write it in INSPIRE GML format (theme Hydrography). Earlier this year, some of the INSPIRE application schemas (XSDs) where upgraded to a new version Include changes from 2024.1 schema release · Issue #1027 · INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator, including the hy-p one that I’m using here (v4.0 to v5.0).Therefore I changed my INSPIRE GML writer to point to the new XSD URI and adapted the xsi:schemaLocation parameter consequently. However, when indicating the v5.0 the output GML is not written correctly: there are remnants of the v4.0 in it.First in the imports, see xmlns:hy-p4 and xmlns:hy4:<gml:FeatureCollection xmlns:o

Hi all - fairly new to FME here.I am trying to do a calculation using the ExpressionEvaluator to calculate tree protection zone (TPZ) estimate, and round to 2 decimal places. The formula I’m using is @round(@Value(average_dbh_value) * 0.12, 2) I also need to incorporate min and max values into the output. Min is 2 and Max is 15. This is where I’m getting stuck. Would someone be able to provide a suggestion on how I can possibly achieve this? ThanksLeanne

Its not working with the latest FME flow. Metadata in agol is nt updated.It use to work previously.The meta data is is being read from the arcsde reader from oracle database.

I have a large number of spatial tables, each potentially having dozens of date fields. I need to check the dates in each of these fields to check they are greater than a certain data (01/01/1900?). These tables are being taken from Oracle and uploaded to AGOL. If there are any dodgy dates, it appears to break AGOL and no spatial data appears for the whole dataset!Is there a way to automatically select fields with a type of date or date time and check validate each row for each date field is above that date? That way I could investigate and correct before the data is transferred. There doesnt seem to be any kind of filter for attribute type.Once I have done this, I will need to do something similar with varchar fields as AGOL doesnt like certain characters.Many thanks  

Hi,I have a GDB with different layers with 3D multipatch data. I want to analyze the layers between each others and find the nearest neighbor. Like a NeighborFinder in 3D mode.How can I do that? NeighborFinder only supports 2D mode.Thanks.

I want to use the StringReplacer to edit a couple of attributes, but their names are not known in advance. Can I save a list of attribute names in an attribute and tell the StringReplacer to work on these attributes?

Hello everyone,I am looking to linearize hedge polygons generated by AI. Since linearization is an iterative process, I need to cut the godzillas into smaller polygons to reduce computation time.I have already tried using the Chopper transformer to make cuts, but unfortunately, at the cut points, the linear features lose their continuity, as you can see in the screenshot below.The offsets are several meters, so I don’t think post-processing to reconnect the linear features afterward is a good solution—I might end up connecting the wrong ones.I am therefore looking to cut my polygons along lines perpendicular to the median axis of the polygons.Below, I have attached my current FME workflow. I believe what I’m missing is the creation of the perpendicular lines and the interval at which to create them.

How can calculate width of polygon in case rivers or roads?I have a road data and I need to know how minimum width of each segment of roads. I tried with some steps such as below:- First: from road polygon I generate centerline by CenterLineReplacer Transformer- After that: I used Chopper Transformer to chopped the Centerline into segments with mode "by vertex". - Next: I rotate all vertex with 90 degree and I extend line with a length (my problem is here). With road data which have more branch, and each branch have width difference, some case the range between minimum and maximum is so big (e.g. minimum is 0.5 met but maximum is 200 m). So when set the length parameter it not right for all branch. - Next: I

@takashiHi all I'm splitting buffered road polygons into chunks using the BoundSplitter transformer and it works very well for straight polygons, but it does not serve my needs for polygons that have a higher degree of curvature/angularity.I need the split to be approx every 100 m and perpendicular (or close to perpendicular) to the road that is being buffered. When the road has a lot of curves this does not work. I am using "Oriented bounding box, longer side direction"Example of curvy polygon: BoundSplitter strip polygon oriented to buffer polygon.Curvy polygon after boundsplitter:Because of the difference in

Every week I have to update a File Geodatabase in AGOL using “Update Data”. What transformer would I use in FME Form to automatically update the data without me having to sign into AGOL and drag/drop the zipped file? My ultimate goal is to add this to an existing workbench and create an Automation in FME Flow where this is done automatically each week.    

The main idea:I have this combination of transformers that are meant to clip a raster and from the result of that clip extract the values for every point using the RasterCellCoercer. This way I can do some statistics with the values of the raster that fall inside some polygons. The problem:I started realizing that the results coming out of the clipper were not consistent. I thought I was losing my mind. Sometimes when I use the clipper using multiple polygons the clipper clips as expected, tight and beautiful (what I need), some other times the clipper clips using the bounding box of every polygon feature that is supposed to be clipping. Also I get way more points, which is a pain bc I am working with big numbers here.Case 1 (Expected):Case 1, its clipped tight

Hi,I have HTML content stored in a table's html_content attribute, and file names in a file_name attribute. How can I upload these directly to Azure Blob Storage using the FME Azure Storage connector without writing local files or using the HTTPCaller? Is it possible to provide the HTML content directly to the connector as an attribute? I need to dynamically set the blob name using the file_name attribute. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there,I’m using the ChangeDetector to update some point data in a ESRI enterprise geodatabase (SDE).  I’ve set up the CHangeDetector to check geometry as well as attributes.  I have 3 points out of 1224 that seems to being updated due to a geometry difference.  I think it’s just that typical geometry change you get between FME and SDE so I have set the vector tolerance to 0.001 which is very generous. I’ve try all the various settings 2D, Lenient Geometry even changing the tolerance to 0.01 but these still come up as being updated.  Below are my setting for the ChangeDetector:I’ve specified a change list and it used to be that you could see the original coordinates and the revised coordinates so you could tell if it was a real change or just a artifact but I can’t for the life of me see where to find these coordinates anymore

Hello,  I’m using Feature Writer to save my output in mdb format. I want to name the output file by User Parameter. When I run the workflow in FME Form, the file named by my input user parameter is generated correctly. When publishing to FME Flow, the user parameter is ignored and the output file is named randomly (e.g. “FME_5C2B2C70_1739440402445_7677.mdb”). In the log I can see that the parameter is not read, so the output name is empty. This is how it looks like when publishing the workflow:  I’m using FME 2024.2.2 Do you know if this can be fixed? Thank you for your replies!

Hey. Does anybody know how to solve the situation where I need zipextractor to not preserve the tree structure of the archive ( if it contains subfolders ) and save the file itself?Thank you

I want to build a flat JSON array using the jsontemplater. I try to use this example to understand the syntax but using the pipe character does not go well.Starting with a simple creator for the root object and sending the actual information to the ‘ADDRESSES’ sub template. I try to define the root template as [| fme:process-features("ADDRESSES")|]and the sub template as{ "ID": fme:get-attribute("Site_ID"), "Address": fme:get-attribute("Address")}Taking it from the linked example the pipe character is needed to separate the array items by commas.My translation lo

Hello,Using SpatialRelator, I want to test if a feature line from Requestor, is "Requestor is OGC-Within Supplier", where supplier is an other layer line.If end vertex of line are the same, the test works but otherwise doesn’t work.OKNOK   

Hello , I'm working on finding the path for specific lines and reorder points .I have several lines, each defined by a start and end point, but these lines also contain intermediate points. Should I merge the intermediate points with the lines before using a shortest path finder, or how will the transformer know which intermediate points belong to each line if I don't provide them? My goal is to reorder all points, including the intermediate ones, to find the correct sequence from point A to the final point, such as A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Thanks in advance 

Hello, I am seeking help with using a Regex to replace the first instance of an underscore in a string. I am using a BulkAttributeRenamer to rename a series of attributes with multiple underscores like this as an example: 0_4_C11_M I am trying to replace just the first underscore in the string with a dash with a regex replace to change the name from 0_4_C11_M to 0-4_C11_M. The regex I’m using is ([\_]+) When I test that expression in RegEx101 is does exactly what I need and only replaces the first underscore in the string as shown below:However, when I use the same expression in the BulkAttributeRenamer it’s returning and replacing all underscores as shown below:

I am trying to find shortest distance from all points in red to all other points in green using network connecting all of them. The point feature has only types (A,B).Is it possible to have the short path finder to search the path always staring from point A to pint B.

Some workspace of us is using ogr2ogr to move data from one postgres db towards another (more performant then setting up a FDW in postgres itself and more performant then FME for doing the data move).Calling this via the system caller shows all information in the log file (including password information). Is there a way to avoid this more recent then this post:   

I am creating a set of workbooks which require the correct value being set on a session based temporary table in a postgis database. To achieve this, I am using a multiline sqlexecutor, where the first query calls a function which sets the values, and the second query returns the values. The issue I am having is that the transformer is only returning a value for the first function call. FME_SQL_DELIMITER ;SELECT sms_1transact.goto_checkpoint('$(end_transaction_name)');SELECT "A"."fid", "A"."theme", ST_Envelope("A"."geom") [...] -- « This is the result I want returned by the transformer. I cannot change anything about the database I am getting the data from, as it is third party, and isnt in scope for change. For an earlier call, I am using the “SQL to Run Before Read” on the Reader, which works fine, but this second query is dependent of the values retrieved in the first, so needs to be inline.
