Transformers

I have a point layer with one attribute (categorial string data) that I like to convert to a raster dataset. There are about 20 different attribute values. Each point should become a raster cell. The value of the raster cell should be corresponding to the categorial attribute value of the point. Which transformer with what attribute values is needed for this operation?Thanks for any help!

Hi, wonder if there is a way to get a list of transformers that were upgraded in FME2019? Yarko

I have to export Aircom ENTERPRISE from FME. The data I want to export is categorial point data with information about the land cover at the point's location. I assume this data should go into the CLUTTER writer but I am not sure what input it needs and how to write the menu.txt und index.txt files.

Hi,I've set up an AD connection (basic authentication) this morning and imported a few accounts.I've created a Data Streaming job.I can run the Streaming job from a browser fine (Chrome and MSIE)I cannot connect Power BI to the Streaming url as Power BI whinges with a "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided" error.  I have tried connecting Power BI to the Streaming url with an FME Server System account, ie Basic access and it connects fine.I can obviously set up FME System Server account users but we want to use AD connectivity.Has anyone else managed to get FME Server streaming working with Power BI? Thanks

hi,how can I write in AttributeCreator iff the Value is missing than set Value to 0 ?I have the created a form, see screenshot, and that is correct, but sometimes the Value of "_Anzahl_DT" is "missing" and then I do not get any Value in results..I need to write in this form this case, that when Value of _Anzahl_DT is missing, than write 0 instead so the formel can count it with 0. thanks. 

Hello,I am trying to validate the angle of a range of lines to see if they are within plus or minus 10 seconds of a label on the line.I was looking for something similar to the Attribute Rounder but that allows you to specify a value rather than decimal places.The Attribute Range Filter seems close but the values are in a list.If anyone has some suggestions that would be very much appreciated.RegardsDean  

Hi, I want to get the shortest path from a point in dataset A to the nearest 5 points in dataset B. I have figured out how to do this, the only problem is dataset A has 100,000 points (I need to get the nearest 5 points in dataset b for all 100,000 points). Is there a way I can release a single point until it has run through the workspace and then the next point is released? I hope this makes sense, thanks for the help.B

Hi all,I have GPS coordinate as input and I would like to snap them to the closest lines, which works perfect with combination of Neighborfinder. However, While finding the closest, I would like to consider the consecutive points as well.In the images, I have group the GPS point based on timeseries. So if the points have the same color, there are in the same time series. As you can see the closest line for some of the points are different then consecutive points. How can I include the group of consecutive points while finding the closest line to the point?Thanks in advance.  

Hi,I am trying to match a numeric string in one field with what I have in another string field.I want to compare what I have in the [ASBUILT_NUMBER] field with the [MAP_LABEL] field but I am unable to get the Inline Query wildcard expression to work.I have tried many different iterations of WHERE MAP_LABEL LIKE '%ASBUILT_NUMBER%'or where @VALUE(ASBUILT_NUMBER) or inserting the wildcards and single quotattions into the field beforehand so I can compare the value to no success.I know it works for static comparisons (MAP_LABEL LIKE '%963%') but I have not found success otherwise.THANKS!

Hi,I have WKT coordinates which come in in various different CRSs which I need to convert to WKT in WGS84 (EPSG:4326). This is normally fine when using the CoordinateSystemSetter -> GeometryReplacer -> Reprojector. But when the original coords go over the poles or international dateline, it throws back incorrect polygons.The coords below are an example. It is from a custom CRS in North Pole Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area and covers eastern Russia, Alaska and the north pole.POLYGON((-2882659.85016878 -3711538.9388638586,-2882659.85016878 594006.5865267662,3321679.6288351263 594006.5865267662,3321679.6288351263 -3711538.9388638586,-2882659.85016878 -3711538.9388638586)) When converted using the transformers listed above, the WGS84 coords it gives back is:POLYGON ((102.164406 46.842472,38.356495 63.39263,-119.86113 59.399704,-178.17273 44.107033,102.164406 46.842472)) covering Europe and part of N. America. Has anybody got a clever workaround for this?Thanks

It seems the JavaScriptCaller is not there anymore, and the NodeJS also disappeared. https://www.safe.com/transformers/java-script-caller/ Is there no support for running JS in FME anymore? 

HiI need to find and extract from column B the value present in column A for first record for ex PACHINO any suggestion ? Thx Francesco

Hi all, I have a GPS trajectory and I would like to select the lines (roads) close to GPS point. I am using NeigborFinder to do that. However, all lines are getting matched even though as you can see in the images I have roads that should be not selected . When NeigborFinder finds a closest lines to a point, does it not find the same line as closest line to consecutive point? How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.   

After upgrading FME Desktop 64-bit on Windows 10 to the latest version 2019.0.1 build 19253, FME Data Inspector became not to handle any 3D geometries.If a workspace contains an Inspector and you send 3D features to it, Data Inspecector once opens but then closes automatically without displaying the translation result. If the Visual Preview was active, Workbench would close silently after the translation finished.Reinstalled FME 2019.0.1 twice, but the symptom still appears.Have you observed such a symptom?

Hello!I try to send the message in html formatted view. But I can do it without attached files only. I don't receive any notifications from the server if I try to send a notification with an attachment. Do you have any ideas where is the problem?Many thanks beforehand.

Is there a way to increase the number of significant digits in the world file on the tif writer?  I have a large imagery dataset with a native resolution of 2.9456395e-6.When tiling them as set of tif+tfw (required for 3rd party software) the tfw is written as 0.0000029456.This truncation leads to minor offsets in the tiled images and every 340000 pixels or so, the cumulative offset is a full pixel, leading to black lines when the adjoining tiles are mosaiked.  

Hello,I'm struggling with making a certain module: I have 2 3D points with a certain z-value and i have a 2D arc "connecting" them.I am now trying to build a module which would make a 3D arc or a generalized 3D polyline using the z values of the 2 points given.At this point I'm just doing this manually but an automatisation of this process would certainly increase my workflow.Can someone just point me in the right direction so I could solve this.Thanks, EDIT: The two 3D points do indeed have a different value in Z.

I'm able to geocode all my addresses using the Geocode transformer and either the ArcGIS Online or OpenCage services. However if I trying using our internal ArcGIS Server REST service, all my addresses are rejected. I've tested the REST services manually and with ArcGIS Desktop, and it works as expected. Can anyone shed some light on what the problem may be combined with this transformer?

Hello,I have a dataset Example:NameFirstnameAddressConcattedStringMichaelsJohnFirststreet 5Michaels_John_Firststreet 5MichaelsJonFirststreet 5Michaels_Jon_Firststreet 5MychaelJohnFirtstreet 5Mychael_John_Firtstreet 5 "ConcattedString" is a field I generated with AttributeCreator because I think it's easier to find duplicates.I don't want to remove them just want to show possible candidates as a "group".I experimented with FuzzyDuplicateRemover, Matcher, ... with no luck.Read the https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/53183/data-qa-identifying-duplicate-attribute-values.html, but I can't figure it out.Is it even possible? If yes, can someone give me a little push in the right direction? :-)Using FME 2019 build 19253 TIA -Jonathan

Hi, I would like to detect lines, with the same attribute name - ID, that are not connected (they are splited but it shouldnt be so). Any suggestions?

HI, I need to get a sum of attributes.For Example: Gew: 45Priv: 388 I need to get : Result 433 Which transformer to use?

I have features with about 15 string attributes. Each of these attributes has to be split into a list in order to delete duplicate values. I have already used an AttributeSplitter followed by a ListDuplicateRemover. But since I have 15 attributes, I was wondering if there is a more effective way of doing this instead of having 15 AttributeSplitters and 15 ListDuplicateRemovers.Thank you!

I have some geometric data and I set its coordinate system to *XY-FT* and I verified it was correctly changed using the data inspector. I am writing this data on the ArcGis Online Plateform and I set the coordinate system to *XY-FT* again in the transformer parameters. When I view the written data, the coordinate system is not the one I chose but the SPHERICAL_MERCATOR. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I recently started working for a company that focuses on utilities in northeastern Massachusetts. My duties are to create FME desktop models of data provided from field crews. I have only been there for two weeks but I am having trouble of understanding how to build models without using a list that FME basic desktop uses for tutorials. How do I get better at creating FME models being provided of a list of how to do it?
