Transformers

 I am new to FME and would like some feedback if possible on a workspace I have set up. I’m sure there is a better way to structure it but I am stuck for ideas.I am wanting to join one attribute (site_code) from three different polygon feature classes (Facility sites, Open Space sites, and Road sites) to another polygon feature class (landfill sites).Before I start assigning site codes I am wanting to temporarily convert my landfill site data from a polygon to a point to get the centroid inside the polygon. I have used the CentrePointReplacer Transformer to do this with the Mode set to ‘Inside Point’. Is this the best approach?I then want to run the temporary landfill points through a series of checks to assign them a site code:

I am running validation rules on a SDE network. I have various point features which must meet given location rules, i.e.:Coupling Fitting => Must meet 2 Main end pointsTee Fitting => Must meet 3 Main end pointsCross Fitting => Must meet 4 Main end pointsAt the moment I can achieve this check by doing the following: 1. Create start/end points for each Main Vector2. Use Spatial Relator a. with the various Fittings/Valves as requestors and b. with the Main start/end points as suppliers3. Use separate Testers to check where related candidates = 1, 2, 3 etc..4. Output failed results as errorsAs the various Fittings/Valves have to be checked against every start/end point this obviously takes a while to process. I've used Workspace Runner to cut these down but is there potentially a more efficient way to run this, i.e.: using Topology or Geometry transformers? I haven't used either before so wo

I have two spatially identical line datasets and need to find where they differ by the "type" field that is in both feature classes.  which transformer is best suited for this type of comparison?

Hi everyone! I need to convert some coordinates from geographic to geocentric, X any Y are in SWEREF99 which can be easily converted, but Z is in RH2000 which is used in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. I am trying to use CsmapReprojector and for vertical handling I used Orthometric height -> Geocentric or ellipsoid height. But then some "geoid height grid" file is needed! I downloaded grid files for FME desktop but nothing for Sweden id available! what shall be done now??

I have lines in a cad drawing that have labels that represent the line length. This label is not always the closest label to the line but is normally parallel to the line. Is there a way to find labels that share the same angle as the line?

Does the SHortestPathFinder consider all FROM-TO routes when generating routes or does it calculate a route for each input? I'd ideally want the generated routes to produce the lowest overall length, where routes that join together are preferred to routes that find their own path. For example if I've got two residential areas and I want to generate a route from these to the city centre, using the shortest path finder may generate two separate routes for these areas, but I want them to converge on a road almost like rivers draining a catchment. SO I'd prefer routes to converge if possible

I have a set of PNG images downloaded from a service like: http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png The images are named: 09_118_180.PNG 09_119_180.PNG etc.How can I combine these image in FME and project them correctly?

Hello everyone!  I was searching and trying out examples from other posts with similar issues, but could not really achieve satisfying result to my needs. I have roof construction lines in 3D which need to be assigned to building footprint polygons. Essentially my task is to provide a building part ID to respective roof lines. I am struggling with overlapping lines where building part polygons meet (blue lines in the first image).  Seemingly, most of the topology and line connecting tools work either in 2D mode or height is uniformly assigned according to some rule which does not work on the large and diverse dataset. As a result, I could not find straightforward ways to assign section lines to a respective building part.  

I am attempting to filter a table for any records containing characters which fall between Ascii code 128 and 255.In a Tester, the regex [^\\x00-\\x7F] correctly identifies matches (copied & pasted from an Inspector) in the ‘Test String’ box. However, when I run the full table through it, all records fail.This seems like a bug. Or am I just missing something about Regex in a Tester?

 Here, you can see that total hits for 'chevron' is 1910 and 'exxonmobil' is 96, but on the output, it only gives 20 rows. 10 rows for each Company name

I am using FME to extract API data and pull the JSON string into a SQL table. I am able to work with most of the tables but there are a couple of them that are nested and am having trouble getting to format properly.I have attached how the results need to look and sample of the JSON resultsI tried using JSON Fragmenter but i cannot get the results. Can someone advise the best way to get this.

Hi,When we draw the big river line in both edges, each side we have to draw in same height is too difficult.my question is, we draw one side in exact height ,another side we draw not in correct height.using FME how to correct the incorrect water line to correct height according to exact waterline ?

I have a simple list n=74 codes which I read using the regular ROOT and SUB template expression: {fme:get-attribute("code")} but because of a nested comparison, they are nested as shown below. I get errors for the missing closing tags (</inv:And>) and If I pre-fill the closing tags, I get an error because they do not match the opening tags.This is perfect for a recursive loop, but a function would be needed within the xmlTemplater? or a script? or 2 loops one for the top half and another for the bottom half? Below is the end result (partial code) of the desired end result. I can manually add the last code <code>code n</code>. The rest is symmetrical. FME desktop 2018.Addition: terribly sorry I did not mention that code is a string.

I am working on FME 2019.0.1 I am trying to find out a center line(Approx. Center Line in FME 2019) of the polygon in the below geometry. The polygon is the input and polyline is the output.I tried using Generalizer with Douglas(Generalize)with varied Tolerance (after using converting it to LL-84) and McMaster (Smooth) and above is the best output. In the ideal scenario, the output should look something like below: Basically, the polylines touching the center end parts of the polygon.My approach: Create a bounding box. Put weights at the points touching the polygons. Join the polyline output at weights. Will that be a possibility? I have still not worked on it. Just an idea.Any other ideas I can work upon! Thanks.

like in sql, select company_name, filing date, count(*) c from index would give able of company_name, date of when it was entered or filed, and counts the number of files on a particular day

I have been trying to find a way to reproduce an Arc model in FME. By using Erase tool I was able to determine the well pads and compare two different datasets against each other. Essentially, my task is to find polygons that don't match and only display those. All attributes remain the same.I have been reading online for a while but couldn't find a very good solution. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

I have a network of lines (representing roads ) and I need to split the line at the intersection with another line. All the features are in the same layer. What command do I need to use?

Hi, So, I've prepared template file with block definition. This particular one has circle and text in it.In FME 2017 I'm defining text using fme_attrib_info instead of DWGStyler.The only problem that occurs is that this text that is inside of block goes to default layer (0) and default color (white). It should be blue like the definition of block says it.  Kind Regards,Zelimir

In my case , [json file attached]There are Multiple geometry entries in one json file. The challenge here is, it is not in one location or one array. it scattered around nested array. I need to create features for all geometries in json file. i mean wherever geometry comes, we need to create features. is there any way to create geometries in one go.

Hi all, I have a dataset which represents the street curbside. Relative to centerline dataset, I am aiming to identfying the position of curb side (e.g. left right) I have used LeftRightSpatialCalculator to accomplish it. However, all the lines are getting Left as a relative position. In the attachment, you can find the input data as well as my transformer.  Thanks in advance.  

I am trying to get the sql like json queries to get the documents from 5 days ago in descending order. ( filing_Date -5days)what transformer to use and how do i pass the query?

Hi, @takashiI am getting a json file out of a http call. This json is very big and there are many nested values. I need to get some certain values from this json. For example, I need to get the "OTXMP_GPSLatitude". This GPS latitude value is existing many times in the json. I tried to extract this value using many json extraction querys but I get an empty attribute. Some of the json querys I used are : (json["data"]["regions"][*]["OTXMP_GPSLongitude"], or json[*]["OTXMP_GPSLatitude"]). I will attach the json file. I hope that someone can help me getting all the coordinates from this json by one request or json extraction. Thanks in advance,

I am trying to read data from a PDOK (Dutch open data portal) WMS service but having a hard time. If anybody wants to try, it's this one: https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/top25raster/wms?request=GetCapabilities&service=wms (but others from the same service have similar issues).I'm using FME 2019, but 2018 shows the same issue, it also doesn't matter whether I use a WMS reader or a FeatureReader. I'm not getting any useful errors, but other software (Global Mapper) has no problem reading the service.
