Hello everyone. I've been challenged with providing an FME Server workspace that parses all or some of the the Summary Stats info from the jobs log file in order to post it in a Slack and email notification. My specific question is how can I ensure that the correct job_id log file is called once the workspace completes on the server? These server workspaces are several that run independent of one another from the same repository to update a PostGIS table with updated records. I currently have a workspace that successfully parses the Features Written and Number Records Added Summaries, but it's being ran against an older log file from the Desktop. I'd like to have Server recognize a new job id log file, call that file into this published workspace, parse the necessary info, write it to a MSWord template or templated email message, and send out as an update notification. *I understand that Python is probably the best practice to perform this workflow, but outside of Python and using only

Hello, I have previously used InLIneQuerier to join FileGDB connections without issue, but am having trouble when using with Oracle connections. When running the query within the transformer in order to test i keep getting the 'Database Not Specified' message as per screenshot. In the example below all i have done is attached just one connected Oracle table to the transformer, and then used the Generate button just to test if this can do the most simple of queries and I am still getting this error message. Any thoughts on where I could have gone wrong? Thanks, Robin

Hello Everyone, I have a folder full of georeferenced image files that was done in ArcMap. It includes the image type (png/tiff/jpg) and other files that has the georeference data in it like the .aux.xml and .pgwx. Would it be possible to have FME move all of this data to a GDB? I'm not sure how this works with the multiple files associated with one image.

This has happened to one of our users: crazy transformer labels, reader names and writer names. I never have seen anything like it. I don't think FME 2019 is playing well with the System Registry of something .Anybody else see this or know a remedy for it?

I am having trouble understanding how to create polygon geometries using the JSONTemplater. I have a JSONTemplater that takes my features and creates a GeoJSON structure that I am using. Below I outline my 2 templates (root and sub ((image 1 & 2))) where I set up the structure. My issue is when it comes to the geometry of the GeoJSON file. Currently, since I could not figure out how the XQuery geometry functions worked, I tried to incorporate a geometryExtractor that feeds the geometry as an attribute. The problem with this method is that it reads that as a string value, and I cannot figure out how to read it as a literal object. Root template Sub template ouput of geometryExtractor JsonTemplater output

I would like to know if it is possible to convert a plain image (e.g. JPEG, TIFF) with no geo references to a GeoTIFF by using FME Desktop. If yes, how would I do that. I found only the option in inspect resources, but what I want is to add the geo reference to that image.

Hello, I try to clipp a tiff (dtm) with 1 shape with 1 plygon. Why do I get a clipped tiff but uniformly grey ? (I am under FME 2012 SP4 ). I followed the video https://vimeo.com/45706487 which is exactly my case and my version ... Thank you

Hello! I´m new using FME. I have a question about RasterBandSeparator. I have used this transformer in a FME process and it appears the next error: RasterBandSeparator_<Rejected>(TeeFactory): RasterBandSeparator_<Rejected>: Termination Message: 'RasterBandSeparator output a <Rejected> feature. To continue translation when features are rejected, change 'Workspace Parameters' > Translation > 'Rejected Feature Handling' to 'Continue Translation'' RasterBandSeparator_<Rejected>: Termination Message: 'RasterBandSeparator output a <Rejected> feature. To continue translation when features are rejected, change 'Workspace Parameters' > Translation > 'Rejected Feature Handling' to 'Continue Translation'' A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details

Hello, I'm trying to use HTTPCaller to invoke an url on the same network but I have some trouble to make it working. The error I receive is "HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error ( Forefront TMG denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). )". Using the browser with the same account, the url is reachable without problems. I parsed and decoded all the characters and the result string is correct. The same string I'm using to test in the browser. Hints? Thanks a lot Roberto

Hi all, I used the SubstringExtractor to pull out a polyline, and now I want to use the VertexCreator. My question is what X and Y coordinates are correct? What value can I use?

Has anyone ever encountered this issue before? My feature information window no longer displays any attribute information from the selected feature.

Hi, I have a workbench published on FME Server. Now, I need to call that workbench using .bat file and run it. Is that possible? I have tied calling a local FME workbench using .bat file but never a published work bench from FME Server. Thanks you.

Hi, I am trying to use FME to create a model based on point cloud data (either .pts or .xyz). The data is approximately 87 000 000 points. The result is a mesh with alot of holes in it. Trying to use PointCloudSurfaceBuilder. Any tips on how I should go on?

Hello, This may be a redundant question, I can't quite figure this out.. Is it possible to write attributes using the DWF writer? I can see the attributes in the FME workbench, but not in the DWF. So I'm guessing, no? We are using DWFs in web applications and it would save us a lot of time if I could do this using FME.

I am creating GeoJson file form Sheapfile while converting there is small requirement that’s why I have used “JSONTemplater” I am able to populate “properties” Attributes but i don’t know how can parse or put Geometry into the template can any one help ? "geometry" : { "type" : "LineString", "coordinates" : [??????] I have attached FME Workbench as well Thank you in Advanced .

I have a feature class in ArcGIS Online that has attachments. I have realized that there are many duplicate features. Therefore I need to remove the duplicates and keep the attachments. ArcGIS is using GlobalID for the attachments so I was planning to do following: 1. Insert the GlobalID`s from the feature class to a list 2. Compare list with REL_GLOBALID column of Attachment Files 3. Select the rows that have the same ID`s 4.5.6.7.... I don`t know how to continue after this. I am looking for your helps!

Hi, I'm using LineonLine overlayer to try and create points where there is an intersection. I'm getting 1440 points in my result, but when I open the file, it's empty? Can anyone suggest any help? I'm using Tester after LoLoverlayer, is there another step ie. Vertex Creator? There's coordinates when I look at it in Inspector, but no coordinate attributes in writer. I've made sure all coordinates are set to MGA94-56. I'm manually copying atrributes from Tester transformer, as I still have 56000 results from LoLoverlayer before passing through the Tester? Thanks @1spatial

Dear FME Guys, I was recently using the Snipper transformer which is a quite useful tool but seriously lacks documentation. For example the output port "remnants" is not described at all, as well as the snipper puts out line AND point features through the output port thus without any exlplanation in the transformers help. Please put a little love in this tiny bit of your generally very sound help section cheers Stefan

Does anyone know of a way to replicate ArcGIS “Locate features along route” functionality? Specifically, I have a network shapefile (polylines) and a separate polygon shapefile. I am wanting to know which lines are contained within which polygons and for the lines that are partially contained within the polygons, I want to know the start and end length in metres (from direction of travel) along the lines that the polygon intersects. Thank you in advance.

Hello everybody,please, I just wanna ask if extension in integration console is still available for AutoCAD Map 3D? I met troubles with version of FME 2018 and higher, that I cant see AutoCAD Map 3D via integration console, so I cant extend this application too. Thank You for all responds! Lubo

I describe an example or a general problem. I have six files (tiles), each one with one o more polygons that have their own (file local) id. As showed in this picture. No common attributes values exists for each whole polygon so a grouped dissolver would not be a solution. The grid geometry (cutter) is known. The desired result would be: Any suggestion?

I am attempting to translate a .MIF to a shp file. I can preview it and it looks nice in the FME preview pane, but when i run the translator, i only get the outlines and not the fill. what Transformer do i need to help coax the fills to translate to the shp file?

I have a reader in my workspace that is not correct (i.e. reading the wrong feature class in my GDB). However, when I try to edit it it's all grayed out and not editable. When I create a new reader it will read the correct GDB, but it won't add the correct field name in the Feature Class or Table Name dialogue box. Thanks

I would like to write features into the versioned feature class which is participating in the geometric network. Unfortunately, if I good understand https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/34856/working-with-esri-geometric-networks.html this is not possible unless I drop geometric network and recreate it on the end of the process(of course this requires de-versioning of feature classes). In my current project, de-versioning of feature classes and dropping of geometric network is not an option. This will require daily posting of all versions which is impossible in the current process workflow. Does somebody have an idea how I could implement solution in FME which would give me possibility to write records into a versioned FCL which belongs to geometrc network? At the moment I am thinking on implementing python caller which will perform this task... Thanks in advance, Dušan

I would like to reverse character order in the string e.g. from "Mariusz 123 #$" to "$# 321 zsuiraM". Do you know any FME function or transformer to perform this? I do not know Pyton.
