Transformers

HiI am able download files with the ProjectWiseWSGConnector.Now, I want to download files in a flat set, but this does not work for me.If I treat the flat set as a file and try to download it. The translation is successful, but nothing is download.And I can't list the content, because in list mode the flat set isn' visible, since it is treated as a file by the transformer.Any help would be appreciated.

Ran into an error that I don't know how to approach. The full report line is: ERROR |Cannot have multiple factories with the same name. Multiple factories were assigned the name 'blablabla Output Collector' What does this mean and where should I start looking to solve this? I might ad that this error showed up suddenly. I tried to remove the most recent changes but it persists.

Is there a transformer that dynamically identifies features where all attribute columns are empty? This could be done with a Tester, but that requires the attributes to be known, and a new setup for each dataset. I was curious if it can be done “on the fly”.

I have a FME workspace reader that reads in the various attributes of a particular workbench and want to send the results to an excel spreadsheet with one sheet per feature. Each feature has a different set of attributes and can’t figure out how to get each sheet to be only the attributes of that feature.  Do I just need to have a separate reader for each feature_type or is there a way to channel all features into a single reader?

Hello I need help to get it right , i would like to convert 3D Room model into 2D (like how it looks from top).  I am using 2D Forcer and outputting IFC , i could see the output in FME Inspector but, when i open the same file in Navisworks etc. it does not get opened...not sure what is wrong.   

Hello,I use PythonCaller to create dynamically seveval attributes. But how can I get them outside the pythonCaller because I can’t described them in advance in the following area : Thank in advanceBest regardsBruno

How can I download file from ftpes:// to specified folder? I’m using the script below.import fmeobjectsimport osfrom ftplib import FTP_TLSimport ssldef processFeature(feature): path = '/lsms/' filename = 'apples.zip' ftp = FTP_TLS('FTP-SERVER') ftp.ssl_version = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS ftp.login('name', 'pass') ftp.prot_p() ftp.cwd(path) ftp.retrbinary("RETR " + filename, open(filename, 'wb').write) ftp.quit() feature.setAttribute('name', filename) 

Has anyone else noticed when creating a list using the AttributeExploder it truncates the last two characters of the list name, resulting in complications when using a ListExploder downstream because the list doesn’t exist.Using the default settings:Default List Settings in the AttributeExploder Transfomer The resulting list:List Name Is Truncated In Feature Information This broke a workspace that was previously working. It was a niggly one to catch as the only thing that had changed was the FME version.As a workaround, we created a user parameter which had the default value “_attr_li{}” and used that in the ListExplod

I am able to read a Oracle Spatial geometry using FME "Oracle Spatial Object" reader. However when I am trying to read a SDO_GEOMTERY using SQL_Executor, I am not able to expose the geometry attribute. How do I read a SDO_GEOMTERY in FME in between the flow?  Regards, Ananda

For speed of running the statistical calculator, is it possible to skip the Complete and Cumulative outputs and only output the Summary ?

Hey! I’m trying to do something that in my mind is very tricky, mainly because I don’t know how to do this. I have a table with bird “routes”. For some reason, each bird species is in a separate column, with a value for the number of individuals in that column. It can look something like this:  In row 2, at one given location, 1 “Stare” and 1 “Grönfink” have been spotted. There are around 190 columns, making this table a bit odd to work with. To work with this data in a different project, I would like the table structured differently. What i would like as an output is a seperate row for each observation, with number of individuals as a seperate column. So, in this case, row 2 would be 2 rows, one for the “Stare”-observation and one for the “Grönfink”-observation. Basically, turning the column names into attribute values.

Hello everyone, I have an XML file containing the registered real-estate data and want to export it as an IFC file. What is the procedure to get the geometries and their atributes out of that file. As I have read, the first step is to use the XMLFlattener. But I do not know on which level do I have to flatten it (Elements to match). There are a lot of nested paths. If I select one path, do I have to select the paths under it? And this flattening process takes a really long time! What is the solution? I would appreciate your help.   

I have around 340 .las files and im just truing to split them. As you see in the picture i have a fair amount of distance between these files 

Hello,I would like to test a variable before running a workspaceRunner or not.if attribute ‘recetteCouche’ = 1 then running workspaceRunner ‘000_recetteCouche..’0’ else if attribute ‘ecritureLivrable’ = 1 then running workspace ‘0000_ecritureLivra...’, etcmy configuration for each  WSR is : ‘wait job job to complete = YES’Please, someone have an idea ?Olivier.

When using the FeatureWriter to write to an Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) Feature Class why is there no option to use an Attribute Value for the ‘Feature Class or Table Qualifier’ setting?There’s only the option to use a User Parameter. I am trying to make this dynamic as the Qualifier would change depending on the environment I am trying to write to. The value I want to use is coming from an attribute. The option is available in the ‘Feature Class or Table Name’: Just curious why this format is set up this way in the FeatureWriter. Could this be addressed in future versions please?Version: 2024.1.1.0 (20240729 - Build 24619 - WIN64) 

Hello everyone,This question has been asked before, but for some reason using the following transformers mentioned in the following post  (Geometrypartextractor > GeometryFilter > Chopper) didn't help me to split certain shapes into lines and arcs respectively. The situation is as follows for me: I read a dgn file (thus a CAD format) in FME in which I have exploded cells. Then I do some transforming on the data in fme before writing to a table in a database. The final step is that I use GeoServer to look on the table i which I have created in order to create a WMS. However in Geoserver, I get the following error: “ORA-13346: the coordinates defining an arc are collinear.".In my dgn, I have the following kind of shapes and I think these shapes are the causes of this error. So, I am now trying to split  s

Hi All,I'm experiencing a bug in the Excel writer in the new FME 2024.0. I've made a script that outputs multiple data categories I need to process in a particular order to ensure my calculations are fed as desired. The bug causes the attribute names to not be written in the first row in Excel; it just starts with the data in the second row. Whenever I open the exact same script in FME 2023.2, the writer does write the field row names, without me changing anything in the writer settings.For now, my solution is to not use FME 2024, but since my customer does use 2024, it's not desirable. Does anyone have any ideas?Here is a preview of Excel. I can't scroll up to the first row, the data is not hidden, and the navigator also won't allow me to go to row 1. 

Hello ,i would like to insert some new points into ArcSDE, where each point will be positioned on and connected to various lines.How can I establish a relationship between each point and its corresponding connecting lines?Is it possible to set up this relationship in FME, so I can view the relationship class later in ArcMap?there is already a relationship exist between feature class lines and feature class points.But what  about the new points from FME?Could anyone advise me on a solution?Thanks in advance .FME 2023

I have a pair of longitude latitude coordinates that I’m trying to measure the distance between in KMIf I cross-reference this “distance” result in ArcGIS Pro, I get approximately 1.44kmThis is also roughly the same result if I use a online calculator;My question, is how does the result 0.01630799258600798 translate to 1.44km? is there something I’m missing??

I have an FMW that writes a CSV file and then uploads that CSV to Azure BLOB. The CSV that's created on the server's disk is okay. It has 201 records as expected and opens up just fine. That CSV--after FME uploads it to Azure BLOB via AzureBlobStorageConnector has about 25 less records--seemingly randomly removed. To rule out Azure BLOB itself as the problem, I used Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to upload the CSV--when I do that, all records are in the CSV file when downloaded back down from Azure. I have experimented w/ a folder upload (upload the file w/ a containing folder) vs. a file upload--no luck w/ that, same result. What really bothers me about this is how it makes no sense. The CSV that gets uploaded should be the CSV that's on disk. It's a file and file-upload process. What could possibly be removing certain lines/records from the file?

I have an aggregated line, containing three parts. Every 50 meters I need to have a point/vertex/measure and using the MeasureGenerator in conjunction with the MeasureExtractor works in principle fine.The MeasureGenerator will only work if I ‘Deaggregate’ the parts and then every part gets a list of measures, starting from zero (as defined in the MeasureGenerator).My challenge is, that the next part of the line should actually not start from zero, but should set the first measure with regards to the remainder from the part before, where there might be the last measure at e.g. 250 m, but there is a remaining piece of 2.2 m.These 2.2 m should basically subtracted from the start value when creating measures for the next part.Is there a way to achieve that?

Hopefully easy question: what is the easiest way for me to check if a workbench is running on FME Form or on FME Flow?On Form, when testing, I want to read the source data from my C-drive. But when on Flow, I want to read the official data uploaded on the server.

Hello,How can I use the values from two fields to match against another dataset? image 1, filtered portI have a test filter, which filters out all items that contain ‘FeatureWriter’ in the transformer_parameter_value field, I now want to take the items from the unfiltered port,Image 2, Unfiltered port.and match these against the initiator_workspaceId AND transfomer_id items from the filtered port (image 1). I do not want to do a row by row comparison, I want to match all items that exist in the filtered output (image 1) against all items in the unfiltered port (image 2). If they have

Build 24627Hello, I am having issues reading a single Feature Type while using the Constraints in the FeatureReader transformer with both the File Geodb and the File Geodb API formats. Each of the Feature Types are visible when clicking on the ellipses; however, after you select one or multiples, the transformer updates and the only outputs are Schema, Generic, and Initiator.There is a workaround, to not select a Feature Type to Read, however, this will then read all of the feature classes in the File Geodatabase.Thanks,Justin

Hi FMErs,I have 3 rasters of equal extents and cell size (clipped to the same 2D polygon)a) representing the floor elevation of a sub-surface stratab) representing the thickness of the same sub-surface stratac) representing the roof elevation of he same sub-surface strataLooking for tips on the best / most efficient way to create a 3D polygon in FME similar to ESRI extrude between, and assuming other strata sections are available in the same raster form , iterate through each strata section to create a 3D subsurface model.Thanks in advance
