Transformers

I have rasters with one alpha channel and one grey channel. I need to ensure that the grey band is grey8. How do I coerce only the grey band and leave the alpha band untouched?The RasterInterpretationCoercer will change both bands and I have not found any other transformer that fits my requirements.  

I’m trying to run some workspace through Task scheduler with FME Form. I’m using an Emailer package and when I run the task as my user, everything is fine. But When I run it as local system it always fails as it can’t find the package. I tried defining Shared folder and setting up environment variables, but couldn’t make it work.As for setting up shared connections it works fine, but not with packages.What would be the right setup for this?

I’m trying to convert those attribute values whichever has comma into an array.Attribute A has values - "ABC" and "ABC","DEF" and "ABC","DEF","GHI".Desired output -“ABC”["ABC", "DEF"]["ABC", "DEF",”GHI”]Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks very much!Tagging ​@danilo_fme , ​@david_r 

I am trying to create a single ArcGIS Enterprise Feature Service that contains multiple layers using the Feature Writer transformer using the ‘Esri ArcGIS Feature Service’If I run it for a single layer, it works fine but as soon as I try for multiple layers, it fails with an error message.“No layers/tables are found matching the name ...” Are there settings that need to be enabled to allow it to write multiple layers or does it only work for a single layer? 

FME 2025.1.3.0 Build 25643I downloaded the new ArcGIS Feature Service Package and set up a connection using the Esri ArcGIS Online OAuth Web service. When I attempt to insert a new feature into an existing AGOL feature service using the default values of the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service format, I get a warningWARN  |ArcGISFeatureServiceWriter: The field 'GlobalID' has a NotNull constraint, but it is NULL, missing, or empty. Skipping feature...The feature is not committed but the FeatureWriter or Writer (I tested both) shows success and the number of features written as 1. Without reading through the warnings, I wouldn’t know there was a problem.Since I’m inserting a feature I don’t have a globalid! And the field is noneditable in the feature service, so it seems like an odd error.Messing around with the settings I found that if I made sure the GlobalID field was exposed in the User Attributes and in the Advanced Parameters “Use GlobalID” was

Hi all,I am fairly new to FME. What I wanted to implement I was able to figure out with the community here or the trainings at the Safe academy. But now I struggle as I do not understand, where my mistake is.Goal: I need to write features with a dynamic schema. So, I added via Readers a “Reader as Resource”. It is an Excel file from where I want to use a specific sheet. There a added my columns which shall be written to my target source. Writing a FFS file works as expected by using the following configuration.One important note: a sheet in excel has a limitation for the name. As I need to create a dynamic workbench which can read different source files and handle a different amount of dynamic columns per source file, I want to name it like the feature type - but shortened to what Excel can handle.Dynamic Schema De

Hi all!I’m looking for some possible help with my FME workflow (dwg to geodatabase). I have a DWG reader followed by several geometry transformers, and the geometry is working well. Where I’m stuck is the attribute schema.I have a CSV/Excel file that defines my target schema. it’s structured row-by-row. each row represents a single attribute, not a feature. All the attribute fields are under the same "attribute_value" column. So, each feature class is represented by many rows. For example, electrical pole has 8 rows—one row each for pole_id, owner, project#, etc.—all sharing the same source layer, output feature class, and dataset. Another feature class (vegetation) follows the same pattern but with fewer rows because it has fewer attribute fields.I need the geodatabase to have each feature class only contain the attributes listed for it in the CSV, and nothing extra. I understand this requires a dynamic writer, but I haven’t had success yet. I

In the answer to this questionEsri ArcGIS Feature Service - Reads Dates as Epoch Milliseconds | Communitya URL is given to the FME hub which doesn’t match the address I’m used to seeing for FME Hub, crucially the info on this package is all quite different too This is what i’m familiar withhub.safe.com/publishers/safe/packages/esri-agolEsri ArcGIS Connector - FME Hub and this is the link providedhub.fme.co/publishers/safe/packages/esri-agolEsri ArcGIS Connector - FME Hub

Oh no, I put my question into the wrong Category (Community Q+A). I cant move the thread.Sorry for the double posting, but it seemed, that in the Q+A category is nobody who can move my thread (or?).So I post this one here with the link to my wrong settet Post.  

Hello,I am testing out the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service writer that is in the Esri ArcGIS Online Connector package (Esri ArcGIS Connector v3.13.2). I’m using Form 2024.2.2.0 (20250114 - Build 24820 - WIN64). Screenshots are edited to remove confidential information. I have noticed that the “Target WKID” cannot be left blank even if you have selected “Feature Service Handling: Use Existing” If I am understanding the documentation correctly, this parameter is only needed if the writer is creating a Feature Service. However, as the default is set to WKID 102100, if you don’t change this to the correct WKID, it will write the data out to the wrong location. I initially made this mistake before I realized I had to input my data’s WKID.

hi everyone! some of my line features (pipes) have text features floating above (top left) of the line, describing what type of pipe it is. I want to add that text as an attribute field to that feature. but also not all of the lines have one and I want it to only match if it's describing that feature (not grabbing a random text field nearby). I'll also note that everytime I've tried to use neighborfinder, the autocad_text_string AND fme_text_string values of lines show numbers (ex. 356.77, 623.44) instead of the descriptive text it should have shown. I've been trying this for hours and would appreciate any help given. thanks in advance!my workflow is: DWG Reader →  Attribute exposer →  Feature joiner1 CSV Reader →  Duplicate filter →  Feature joiner1 Feature joiner1 →  Deaggregator → 2D forcer → G

Hi,In the headers section, it seems it’s mandatory to define the header parameter immediately.Is there any way to push a Json or a FME attribute to define a dynamic header to use?My issue is, the client API Rest has many methods with different header parameter. I’m trying to setup a custom transformer that will be able to handle dynamically the header to set. But it doesn’t seem possible to do it right now?Any workaround to achieve it?Regards,Jean  

Hi FME Community,I’m working on a project where I need to create a 3D cone shape in FME 2025 and publish it to ArcGIS Online 3D viewer. The cone should:Start at ground level (let’s say Cape Canaveral X, Y, Z coordinates). Have a base radius of 500 m. Extend in a cone shape getting wider upwards at a 7° angle. Reach approximately 50 km into space (so it’s a very tall, tapered cone).I’ve tried using combinations of Creator, Taper Line Bufferer, Rotator, and SurfaceBuilder, but I’m struggling to generate the correct geometry and export it in a format that ArcGIS Online accepts (e.g., Collada, OBJ, or multipatch).Challenges I’m facing:Generating the circular base and apex points accurately.

Hi, I have a workspace in which I read features from different postgis tables and attach their schema with the FeatureReader.Then I want to write dynamically the features in a geopackage.When writing, the gpkg writer tries to use the fields defined as primary key in the schema, but sometimes I have several or the primary key is not an int as requested by the gpkg format.How can I easily delete the information on the primary key fields in the list attribute{} created by the FeatureReader ? I assume I have to delete if in the subattributes fme_data_type and native_data_type in the list.Furthermore, some features read contains id column, how to handle this to not interfere with the gpkg writer ? In the past there was an option in the writer to specify the name of the gkpg primary key.Maybe the creation of a gpkg_id field defined as Primary key is enough ? Thanks for any advice !P.S. : I use FME Form 2025.

I have a workspace where the DateTimeCalculator is failing for all records. The rejection code is always INVALID_INPUT. And yet, when I view the data in Inspector the two input fields I’m using both list as Date under Data Type. The dates look fine fine (e.g. - 20251216). It fails for any mode - Add or Subtract, Calculate Interval, etc. Any ideas why it’s failing and what I need to do to fix it? (FME Form 2025.1.0.0)

I have a schema JSON file that I want to use to validate various JSON files. What transformers can I use to perform this functionality? JSON Validator only validates syntax and not schema so what's the alternative for this?I have added pictures of the sample JSON schema and also the JSON file that needs to be validated against that schema.

Hi everyone!I’m learning about dynamic flows in FME and I’ve encountered two issues that I haven’t been able to resolve yet. I’m reading multiple .gpkg files from a folder, but in the output, all the data is saved in a single .gpkg file. I need FME to generate a separate output file for each .gpkg read. How can I set this up? When I insert the Attribute Manager and rename the attribute from acm_id to id, the values of that attribute (acm_id) turn null after the renaming, and the new attribute (id) does not appear in the final output file. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

I have used a Directory and File Pathnames reader to generate an attribute holding file paths for the .xlsx files that I need to read in to my workbench. My plan was to use a FeatureReader to subsequently read these files in but I am struggling to get this to work.There are multiple worksheets in each .xlsx and I only need the contents of one - in all cases the applicable worksheet has the same name and an identical schema, the column headers are all on the same row as well.I haven’t been able to work out how to configure the FeatureReader as when specifying the dataset from an attribute the parameters to specify ‘Sheets to Read’ and ‘Field Names Row’ are not available.I would be very grateful for any advice - thanks in advance.

I’m currently updating all of our tools to a new input dataset. In the process, I’m relying on the transformers to tell me when there are issues with the new schema. The issue I have found is the TestFilter is not flagging these as Incomplete Transformers. Build is 25237, and all transformers are up-to-date.I want to believe I have seen this behavior on other transformers, but the TestFilter is by far the most prevalent case and has the potential to cause the most problems in our workflows.Is there a work-around to check for Incomplete Test Conditions? Original configurationWhen the connection is removed, the transformer does not become Incomplete. It’s onl

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using FME 2022.2. If I pick an attribute from the arrow drop down menu, it inserts it in the DateTime Attributes field as @Value(CREATETIMESTAMP). When the transformer runs, it doesn't convert the value. But if I select the attribute from the 3 dots menu, it's fineIn the 3 dots menu chooser, there are sort of two sets of the attributes....

I have an existing process that processes versioned views from an ESRI SQL Server Geodatabase to another SQL Server Database creating SQL Spatial tables with a geometry column that I have reprojected to WGS84 Lat Long. Can I add a second geometry field to the SQL spatial tables and populate that column with Web Mercator geometry? I am trying to figure out a single workflow that would calculate both columns in the same table. Or am I restricted to calculating one geometry column at a time in separate processes?  

Hi, I have set the spike remover to 3D dimensions to read 3D solids however everything is being rejected due to - ‘Invalid Geometry Types’. Any ideas? 

Hello, I am struggling with using the ArcGIS Attachment Connector to upload multiple attachments in an ArcGIS Online Feature ServiceI am able to add one attachment but for some reason it will not add multiple photos. This is for a Survey123 that I set up an automation in FME Flow with webhook to add certain features to a hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online. It runs fine, adds the data, but the moment there is more than 1 photo that needs to be attached, it only uploads 1 photo. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Edit: This works perfectly fine on the workbench (it will add all attachments) but when I try to run it on flow, it will only add 1 attachment. I do receive the following error message:  158 2026-1-2 10:50:31 | Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::Exception 159 2026-1-2 10:50:31 | Python Exception <TypeError>: Unknown o
