Transformers

Hi, I have 2 inputs(shp) using it in AreaOnAreaOverlay transformer where I want to have output from both the readers but, it is always coming from either of them. Is it about which transformer is connected first to the transformer or added first or something else. I am not getting it the right way. Need expertise!

I probably found a discrepancy in the StringReplacer but would like to check.In the Attributes field not only Attributes but also User Parameters are selectable. Nothing seems to happen, and I think this is correct behaviour, or am I missing something?Checked in Workbench 2018.1.1.0

@takashiHello there I have a table with the configuration bellow attribute name: fme_feature_type_name represent the parent and the attribute: name is the child, we wantto write to have an XML each parent with its childwhen I use the template I am getting all features attributes name repeated for each parent namei am sure I am missing something in the root or sub configuration   

I have a pointcloud dataset of 1.8 billion points and I am filtering on a single component value. The pointcloudfiltering is taking 15 minutes and not blowing out CPU/Memory or IOPS, so it could be faster. However, the pointcloudfilter doesn't have ability to go parallel. Does anyone have an idea of how to make that run quicker...?I also tested making the componenet spatial and then using a clip on the point cloud, but it seemed to be slightly slower in a couple of tests I ran.

Hi, I am trying to convert a JP2 file into a GeoTiff file, but the pixels of the resulting image have different values from the original one. I got a warning that says "Set the Photometric Interpretation as MINISBLACK", but after doing that, the results remains the same, that is, different pixel values.Why?

I am trying to utilize a file share within a workbench and establish a network based resource connection on FME Server through the web ui but receiving errors that we have been unable to diagnose. In both uses, the error states "Folder not found" and the location is being referenced by unc path (e.g. \\\\server-name\\folder). The folder in question contains a space, so I have attempted using single quotes and url encoding the unc path with no success. We currently use other file shares within FME Server, and have granted the computers credential (e.g. mango$) read/write access to those resources with success. From the system that runs FME Server, I can verify that other users can access the file share in question, so there doesn't appear to be a firewall issue or other connection related issue. Any help would be appreciated in resolving this issue.We are currently on FME Server 2017.0.0.1

Hi, If I have records like this:A,BA,CD,BB,Abut I want the records sorted so A,BA,CB,DA,Bso I end up with duplciates is this possible the nearest thing I could find was "StringElementDuplicateRemover" but this removes string information?cheers

Hello -I just downloaded the ESRI Utility Network migration sample from www.esriurl.com/gasmigration and tried to run the workbench. I received the error:This FME edition does not recognize the `SchemaMappingFactory' factory. Please ensure that the current platform supports this factory, the factory name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-insSo my question is, what FME edition *is* required to run this sample?Thanks,Ed

Hi FME'ers, I have a table containing weather forecast data every 3 hours over a 24 hour period. The time value is recorded in minutes past midnight, e.g. 180, 360, 540 etc. This table is updated at midnight and filtered to only records where the chance of precipitations is greater the 20%. I would like to aggregate these records where they occur consecutively with a start and end date E.g. If rain is forecast for a continuous 9 hour then for 3 hours that would be aggregated into two recordThanks,

Hi, I'm trying to convert DWG to IFC and have figured the first part but the output doesn't seem to work as I only end up with a 2kb empty file. Can anyone help? It would be great to see a step-by-step as I'm new to the software.Thanks!!

Hello all FME User's,I have some lines features and is necessary to change the rotation.Lines Original What is necessary:Attached the FFS files - Thanks,Danilo 

I have a esri feature class, and one of the columns (populations) contains values in different formats, all in text (1234 | 1,234 | 123 txt | 12 txt. 34 | <Null>).I want all the values in a new integer field. Is there anyone who can help me to get rid of the text and (1234).

Just a confirmation on FME specifications.Does FME support "ZIP64" (allowing to create larger than 4GB archive) on every 64-bit platform - Windows, Linux and MacOS - for writing features into a destination archive?

Hi, I'm trying to put a coloured dot in the middle of a map chip, see the attached, the workspace finds the map chip image has something wrong with pallettes. Anyone got a hint? Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas on how to continue around this? When I have downloaded the file myself, it seems that I can unzip it and open it just fine in like notepad++, but FME is having issues... In the past this occasionally happened, but it still ran successfully 1 out of 8 or 9 times, but it has been throwing errors the past 3 days. Need to get this resolved ASAP :)XML Parser error: 'Error in input dataset:'www.WEBURL OF XML FILE.xml' line:1 column:15 message:exceeded byte limit at byte 'ý' in a 6-byte sequence'The XML Module halted on error, see the logfile for details  Also have been getting similar errors likeXML Parser error: 'Error in input dataset:'www.WEBURL OF XML FILE.xml' line:1 column:15 message:invalid byte '‰' at position 1 of a 1-byte sequence'

Hello I have a shapefile that contains a lot of polygons of buildings. I have information about the height of the building, but also the elevation of the base and roof (DTM) is present within the attribute table. Nowadays I use 'Extruder' to make a 3D model of my data (taking the height of the building as height), but that does not show the elevation differences of the bases of buildings. Is it possible to also take into account the elevation differences (so the base of the building differs)?  Thank you

Hi - I have a simple job that copies three spatial layers to one folder and three associated information PDF files to another folder. It all gets combined in a zip file for the user to download via an e-mailed link.I run this job on FME server 2012 and I get:Important\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-title-applications-dqs-16-06-16.pdfImportant\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-titles-dqs-16-06-2016.pdfImportant\\nsw-doi-exploration-and-mining-title-applications-metadata-05-09-16.pdfImportant\\nsw-doi-exploration-and-mining-titles-metadata-05-09-16.pdfGSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.dbfGSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.prjGSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.shpGSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.shxGSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.dbfGSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.prjGSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.shpGSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.shx But the same job, upgraded and run on FME Server 2018.1 now includes the writer names in the paths of the zip files:FILECOPY_1\\Important\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-title-a

I am trying to create a process that will do a few things:1. I need to create mile points between a beginning mile point and an ending mile point.2. I need to be able to pull the nearest mile point from a line closest to the point feature.I feel like I'm on the right track to successfully make this work, but something must be missing because the MeasureExtractor transformer is rejecting all measurements.Click here to download a template of my workspace.Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, I have a fixed width text file and would like to remove some of the rows where a certain portion of the row is duplicated, for example please see extract below: NE500086033 15.10.201831.12.2099MastersonNE500085977 08.10.201831.12.2099GilmoreNE500085699 24.09.201831.12.2021DohertyNE500085699 24.09.201831.12.2099BanksNE500085312 10.09.201831.12.2099Moyo If the parts in bold are the same I would like to remove both records from the file. Then output the file in exactly the same format with the duplicates removed. I am using the CAT reader to read the file but I'm not 100% sure which is the best writer to use. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks,Charlie

@daleatsafe @erik_jan @ciarab DwgStyler Polygon Fill Pattern does not produce valid dxf for ArcMAP. Input data: Any Polygon feature classInput Feature Class >> DwgStyler (Area Entity type: MPolygon With Fill Pattern, Fill Pattern Name: ANSI31, Pattern Scale: 10) >>> Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF writer (all CAD versions tried)It does produce an output as dfx file (output can be seen in AutoCAD) but the generated dxf file doesn't show any feature or it's attributes when opened in ArcMAP. 

I am looking for an easy/elegant way to remove all attributes that are empty. I have taken a look the NullAttributeReplacer and while that "could" work, I have to know/expose the name of every attribute. I was looking into writing a python script to get all the attributes, test if empty then remove but writing python in FME hasnt gotten easier over the releases.  Any thoughts?  -Sean

How to transform point cloud file from one UCS to another in Autodesk RCP and Leica PTS formats

we use An API call in order to get information from a GIS app, the response we get is an XML,we want to convert to attributeI used the many of the transformers there but didn't get the expected resulthow we could extract all the attributes from the XML and their valuethis is the XML we are getting from the rest API response we get 

I have converted data from NAD83 (CSRS) 1997 to NAD83 (CSRS) 2010, along with this conversion, vertical handling is converting the z values to CGVD2013.I am now trying to reverse the transformation. I am able to successfully reverse the horizontal values using the (Reversed) transformation option. I am wondering if there is a reversed option for vertical .gdc files? or is a new file altogether required?I am having no luck finding information online for this.

I have developed some scripts to massage data from one SQL db, spatialize features, then write to SDE db. They have been running for 2 yrs on FME Server (2017.1) fine for about a year. Then suddenly, all of them started to run real slow. There are about 20 scripts running serially (a master script kicks them off using fmeserverjobsubmitter). It used to run from 10pm until 1:30am, but now it has climbed from 3am (when the issue was first spotted) to 5am (latest run).We've looked at resources and saw that the memory was hitting the ceiling (we have 16GB on the virtual server). 8GB more were added 2 days ago and the memory was no longer hitting the ceiling, but scripts are still running until 5am.So now, we want to maybe check the connection to the database to see maybe if the read or the write is the issue. This is where I need help. I'm not sure how to go about that via fme workbench or even if it's possible? I created a workspace that only has the reader and a logger. But I
