Transformers

Hi guysI need to detect two parallel line within certain distance (15m) in a road network

I have 4 workspaces that follow the same process (they each just calculate different fields on different feature classes). Within these workspaces, I use a VariableSetter and a Variable Retriever. In order to get the Setter to run before the Retriever, I have Set the Connection Runtime Order (as recommended in this post), as well as adding a Sorter in front of the VariableRetriever. This has worked in 3 out of the 4 workspaces, but for some reason, is not working in the 4th. Again, these workflows have an identical setup, they each just manage different attributes in an AttributeManager (that runs after the Variable Retriever). Has anyone had experience with additional methods of getting the Retriever to run AFTER the Setter (other than Set Connection Runtime Order and adding a Sorter)? Thanks.

How can we use AttributeCreator which receives an array of data to only pull the last index of that array?

Is there any way I can pass a non numeric attribute to the RasterExpressionEvaluator?  Specifically I want to pass a conditional statement.  ex. If(A[0]==somevalue || A[0]==someothervalue,0,255)  I can't really build the statement in the expression evaluator directly because I don't know in advance how many parts the conditional will have.  I keep getting the error Expression Evaluator: Attribute '_Recode' has non-numeric value, but if I hardcode the resolved expression directly in the RasterExpressionEvaluator it works exactly as expected. 

Hi, I am carrying out data quality tests and I would like the results of failed tests in an excel doc. I would normally use the AttributeValidator and the _fme_validation_message but I need to use testers. An example of one test: if the 'type' = individual then the 'industry sector' should be null. So in the table below, I would want to see the last line in an error reportTypeIndustry sectorindividualcompanyagriculturecompanyconstructionindividualretailAny suggestions welcome.

Hello, there I am looking to extract data from a public web site, I used the HTML Table reader, but I am not getting the expected value in the table website: https://www.stats.gov.sa/en/160 

Hi Guys,I have a text file that contains both header information with necessary attribute fields and a fixed width set of sequential coordinates with bearing and distances that create the polygons of a cadastre. I need to create the polygons with the attributes attached. If I read in the file as a CAT, I can't find a way to retrieve the attribute information at the topIf I read it as a text file, then split on the ----, I can sort of retrieve the header information as attributes, but then can't figure out how to extract the fixed width stuff into lists. Also, all the the blank spaces are causing me issues in creating a set of headings, especially as the first line of the definition is blanks until you get to the radial, OR the E/N.I was going to try to read these in as a sequential list - ie, each feature is also referencing the one before and the one after... it should be relatively easy to do! Any thoughts on the best way to do this? Sample text file attached.(Definitions: I

Hi I have a point and polygon layer. I need to populate different counts of points in each polygon satisfying different attribute queries on the point layer.e.g count of supermarkets, sports centre in each polygons. I have 8 such queries, so would populate 8 fields in the polygon layer.I tried using TestFilter on point fc then PointOnAreaOverlay, but this doesn't work as I cannot get multiple If and If statements from TestFilter. Instead It gives me If Else If.I would like to avoid having 8 different TestFilters and PointOnAreaOverlay transformers if possible.Any ideas?

I'm using the AreaOnAreaOverlayer to intersect two large sets of polygons (Polygon 1 & Polygon 2 for clarity), one of which (Polygon 1) contains overlapping polygons which are sometimes coincident with each other, but with different attributes. The transformer is only overlaying one of several polygons from Polygon 1 with Polygon 2 and dropping the others from the output, but I need all of them to be intersected and output.What other transformers can I use to prepare the data so that all polygons are intersected?I'm using FME Workbench 2016.1, and can't currently upgrade.Thanks,Matt

Currently I use python to launch FME workspaces and return error with subprocess (below). Is it possible to also return count of the features written?CommandLine = 'FME ' +ScriptName +' -LOG_FILENAME ' +FME_LOG try:  retcode = subprocess.call(CommandLine)  if retcode == 0:  logger.info(' Complete on SABOGISP01 @@@ ')

Hi FME'ers,I am trying to update values in an XML documents but these values are conditional. For example: IF <MethodCode> like 'FF%' THEN <MethodCode> = 'PM' andIF <MethodCode> = 'FF12' AND '<ItemDesc> = 'Basket' THEN <ItemDesc> = 'Wicker Basket'. ELSEIF <MethodCode> = 'FF10' AND '<ItemDesc> = 'Basket' THEN <ItemDesc> = 'Laundry Basket'I think XQUERY will solve my issue but I don't have time to learn a new query language. Many thanks,David

I have a set of contourcurves that I want to use in order to create a printed model. In the printed model each curve should be represented by a plate, see example below. I have the contour curves as lines (with z-value) and some of them are connected at the ends with which I can create areas/polygons with the AreaBuilder transformer. Some lines however have loose ends, but I would still like to create the plate discs here. So I created a bounding box with the BoundingBoxAccumulator over the entire input dataset. My idea was then to use this box and the seperate lines (height curves) to create new areas that I then can extrude. Here is an image of my idea (orange area should also include red, blue include both orange and red): But here my knowledge in FME seems to end. Any idea how this problem could be addressed?

HelloI seem to be locked with a seemingly simple problem with reading ESRI FileGDB (Geodatabase)If I specify a Search Envelope the reader refuses to read non-spatial data.Non-spatial data are only read if no Search Envelope is defined.So how do I read spatial data with search envelope and all non-spatial data ?Do I need two readers ? If yes: How do I say read only non-spatial data ?There is an option: "Spatial data only", I don't see a "non-spatial data only" option ?!Thanks for any hintsMichael

Hi Fme team,After completion of fme script, i need to run sql query for the resultant destination table. So I am running sql thru end python script. And for this sql query I need one variable(fme published parameter or fme attribute)from jest ran fme script. is there any way i can get value from fme published parameter into end python. pls help.

Hi!I am kind of new to FME so this must be a simple issue to solve for anyone in here.I have a xls-file with zip codes, 5 characters together. I want to add a blank space between the third and the fourth character. I just can´t find a simple way to do it with my limited knowledge...Thanks, Tobias

Hi there,I need to generate some raster images based on shape file data, but I'm having issues with creating a bounding box for my edges that is always square.Here's an example of some of my data:When I use the BoundingBoxAccumulator, it gives me a rectangular polygon, which is entirely expected as the above geometry frame is much higher than it is wide.Ideally, I'd like my bounding box to use the biggest one of the two for both the height and width, so that the polygon is still based on the size of the Geometry, but always perfectly square.Any suggestions on how I might achieve that?Thanks,

I have a series of polygon feature classes all in the same geodatabase. I want each feature class to do a 'area on area overlay' with land parcel polygons and create a file for each overlay. I have tried creating a custom transformer with a loop but I couldnt get it to work. Really not sure how to go about doing this.I dont want to have to pass each feature class to its own 'area on area overlay' transformer. Any help to find a better way of doing this would be appreciated.

Hi,Previously when passing attributes names 'today', '1 week ago' etc ot the dateformatter it could work out the date. This is now failing.Have I missed something?Thanks

See FME 2018 New features, I can't find the 11th feature in my current FME 2018.0.1.0. Did the official version cancel this feature or did I not find it?

Hello,   I am having some problems with reprojection between two coordinate systems.  My data in some local coordinate system that is similar to MGI based EPSG:31276(same projection but different datum) and I want to reproject it to EPSG:32634(I have even made new coordinate system using https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmedatastreaming/Coordsys/Start.fmw?). I have transformation parameters but I don't know how to edit existing transformation files. I could really use some help if it is possible. Important things: I have tried Reprojector,csmapreprojector but they are not giving me good result. I don't have ArcGIS installed so I am not able to use ESRI Reprojector.

I have 2000+ 1x1km TIF DEMs which need to be subtracted from the same amount of 1x1km TIF DOMs. The result should be 2000+ normalised TIFs containing the heights above Ground.Which method could I use to iterate through each DOM and subtract the correct DEM? I am unsure about how to match the correct DOMs and DEMs.

I currently use the predifined dashboard workspaces for FME server. They all show a period of one month. Is there an easy way to change this to lets say 3 or 6 months?

I have a script that will move points (ServicePoints) in an SDE database based on updated XY coordinates coming from a separate database source, on a daily basis. These points are not supposed to be snapped to any lines (Conductor features), though many are in reality. I'm looking for a graceful way of 'unsnapping' these point from their (possible) connected line endpoints prior to moving them.Using ArcGIS 10.1 (and ArcFM 10.1), FME 2012 SP4. Any help would be appreciated!

I am quite new to FME, so sorry for my lack of knowledge. I've created a very basic workspace to combine three LAS point clouds, reproject them from State Plane Alaska Zone 4 Feet to UTM84-6N. The combination and reprojection work and create a file, but the new LAS file is now georeferenced about 300 kms east of where it should be. I've done a similar transformation in LASTools successfully. Any ideas?

I am fairly new to FME and I have been trying to find a workflow to find points within polygons. My point data is dense and contains over 84 million points. I am trying to find all the points that fall within a given polygon for polygons. I have tried using PointOnAreaOverlay, FeatureReader, SpatialFilter, and Clipper. They all take a couple of hours to run. If I use ArcGIS Desktop and do a Select By Location it completes in less than 30 seconds. Is there a methodology in FME that could produce fairly quick results? The data is currently in a File Geodatabase but could be converted.
