Transformers

I keep getting an error in my translation because one of the reader attributes is a string (utf-16) and I'm trying to read it into an integer attribute in the writer. But I can't seem to find a way to convert it. I'm sure I've accomplished this in the past but can't remember how and am not seeing anything in the docs about how to do this specifically.

Dear everyone, I have an fme workbench which is maintaing a connection between my sql server enterprise gdb and having some paramaters, I am using it for data download. It is facing two problem, 1) fme is reading featureclass name as we see inside arcgis catalog (i.e, DBO.test) while in sql server we find it as dbo.TEST. We have also a automatic process to read metadata where the table name we read as dbo.TEST. But our fme workflow is reading it as DBO.test so our download button is not working. How can I change the schema name in lowercase? ANother this is , i was trying to use a choice list for automatically updating new featureclass or table name inside reader, but when I import it as fme_feature_type , it is importing nothing!

Is there a transformer in FME that can build sector polygons based on coordinates provided.     e.g. Source data has 10,000 point geometries. Output needs to be list of polygons with no more than 500 points within the polygon.

I am using the Arc Data Interoperability ext. FME 2016.0.1.2(20160224-build16177 - win32).Trying to maintain layers in the skp file, I reference @sander solution but am still having difficulty. When I say 'run' I get the translation parameters prompts below.This is my geometry property setter parameters, for the first layer. the others I tried to give numbers, but it makes no difference. And of course then doesn't run so I cant send you a log file. I have been using FME infrequently for years but definitely still at beginner level, clearly.Also battling with the help files for this issue.Below are two pics showing the difference I'm after. If I can maintain the layers (not all in 1 layer), it makes editing in skp

When I create a tunnel from a long connection line than the first annatation is the same length as the connection line.

Hi,it may be a stupid question, but if you add a writer/reader/inspector in fme2018 to a transformer that is in a bookmark, he always puts it out of the bookmark. My model is very large and has a lot of bookmarks that run into each other so that is not so convenient. Is there a way around it?ThxNathalie

I am working to calculate Stream order for Geobase National Hydro-logical network for Canada. I used this link for my task -->https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1228/calculating-strahler-stream-order-numbers-streamor.htmlThis is really good FME model and stream order are just fine for the network having just one destination point. But I have few problems with this model, which I am trying to solve:1. If the Hydro network have more than one destination point. How can I input more nodes as destination points for each network in stream order calculation tool, so that it calculates stream order for that network based on all the destination points instead of just one destination point. Also, is this even possible with the existing stream order calculation tool?2. I have few destination points for few networks which do have a lowes

Hi,I'm using the SQL Executor transformer to pull back the most recent records from a SQL server DB  since the ETL was last run.  The last run datetime will be held in in a Postgres table and pushed through as a parameter to the SQL Executor, the issue here arises when I push the datetime parameter through to the SQL Executor As a test and to trap the error I've used the attribute creator transformer to generate a datetime attribute which would mimic the last run datetime from Postgres, and hence push this through as a parameter. I've set the value = '2018-01-14 09:18:00'If I run SQL Executor with a set datetime ('2018-01-14 09:18:00') the SQL executor runs successfully  and returns records. However if I run the same query replacing the specified datetime value with the the parameter I get the following error message, despite the value and format being identical?--'. Provider error `(-2147217900) Incorrect syntax near '09'.'The error message points

Hi there,I'm trying to process an SQL statement for reading a ESRI filegeodb.I want to concatinate the statement in my first workbench and then give it to my second workbench via the WorkspaceRunner. - The first workbench aggregates distributors attributive with a seperator ",". So at the end there is for example a string '0781A21','0761A1'- My workbench2 should dissolves areas based on the distributors. My Reader where clause is actually: DISTRIBUTOR IN ('$(concat)') tried also DISTRIBUTOR IN ($(concat))$(concat) is the published parameter containing the statement. As an example the SQL statement I want to process in the reader of workbench2 should look like: DISTRIBUTOR IN ('0781A21','0761A1')How do I need to definine the statement in workbench1. The workbench2 is actually only processing the first distributor but not the second,third... translation log is --concat '07

Hi,I always use RasterToPolygonCoercer to convert Rasters to Polygons (which, by the way, takes much much longer than the ArcGIS counterpart). However, RasterToPolygonCoercer no longer exports the raster values, although it did before. The Label Attribute no longer shows up in subsequent transformers.Is this intentional or a bug? If intentional, how do you extract raster values into polygons?

I have created a very simple list using the list builder that contains multiple values of the same key (stationId). the list looks like this in fme inspector: I want to pass all the statonIds in this station list into the sql executer transformer into my WHERE statement.  The sql executer recognizes this list however, it only allows me to specify a specific element number in the list like this: where originstationId in (@Value(StationList{0}.stationId))The problem is I don't know how many values will be in the list each time so I can't hard code the list element number in it. I would like to pass all values in this list into my query.

Why doesn't this work?@Value(SP)=FD?@Value(PCT):0 If the value of attribute SP is FD, then use the value of attribute PCT, otherwise 0. I tried using 'FD' and "FD" too.  2018-04-05 22:58:55|   8.1|  0.0|WARN  |AttributeManager_19: TCL Error Message: 2018-04-05 22:58:55|   8.1|  0.0|WARN  |     invalid bareword "FD"2018-04-05 22:58:55|   8.1|  0.0|WARN  |     in expression "FD=FD?10.0:0";2018-04-05 22:58:55|   8.1|  0.0|WARN  |     should be "$FD" or "{FD}" or "FD(...)" or ...2018-04-05 22:58:55|   8.1|  0.0|WARN  |AttributeManager_19: Failed to evaluate expression 'FD=FD?10.0:0'.  Result is set to null.

Hey guys!I'm having trouble with the RasterMosaicker not merging images very well. It's obvious to tell where the imagery is being mosaicked (please see attached image). Is there any way of getting rid of this? I was thinking (from previous remote sensing knowledge) that I could manually stretch the images to have them looking the same and then mosaic them, but I am unsure of how to complete this in FME. Help please!Sam

Hello,I have a network where this are many connected lines on nodes I wanna make from the ones having the same value of an attribute to get connected and became one feature. Is there any way to do it ? Thank you

Hi all,It's been a while since I've been working with this FME Desktop transformer. Today, I found something that woke me up and made me think HOW the "Inside Point" feature (one of the three options) is generated using this transformer. The situation is this one: Input: One polygon feature from a Shapefile.Using FME Desktop 2016.1 (tried older versions and same results)Image:I don't know if you can appreciate that the INSIDE POINT generated is in the same border of the polygon, so, after that, if I try to "Overlay" with other transformers like PointOnAreaOverlayer... it'd give me a non-overlay output.After all this description, I wanted to know "How" is generated this "point" output using the CenterPointReplacer transformer: Is there any poten

Hi,We have a proces, that converts some schema-less XMLs into MS/SQL. The output definition is set to "Automatic".It now seems, that later versions of the XML files include more attributes than the original versions. These new attributes are output as-is, but cannot be seen in the workspace.I've tried to update the reader feature types, but even though the attributes are present in the data files, they don't show up in the workspace.How can I by default remove all "unknown" attributes coming from the XML files ?Oughtn't the Attribute Manager have an option for this ?Cheers.

Hello,Can somepne please help me using the MRF2DIntersector ? I'am trying to remove overshoots but I got confused and lost within the transformer's parameters. Thank you in advance.

I have an UpdateDetector that compares incoming WFS records with a static table which then gets updated. I was supplying the Attributes to Match value from a user parameter. However, I was asked to make it work with a CSV file that supplies the required values. I was able to create a comma-delimited list by using a listConcatenator.However, I can't find any way to make the resulting attribute available to the UpdateDetector. I tried just passing it in to the Original node along with the records to be tested, but this always results in a spurious row appearing in the Delete port that just contains the attribute. As a work-around, I can filter out the unnecessary row to ignore it; however, this is a bit kludgy and I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it. I've tried inserting the attribute at other points in the work flow, but this either results in the attribute not being available to the UpdateDetector, or else the same thing happens. It seems like it shoul

Hello, I have a shapefile where some connected lines have to get connected and merged into one feature. However, it seems like there is a problem in my use of LineCombiner and MRF2DJoiner.Here is my shapefile : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Iwe0FDMePozczihABOvJ_PBlre7xRAisAttached : a picture of a linear feature who has passed through the LineCombiner but still divided in 2 llines altough there are both connected. Thank you.

I am having a problem with the TopologyBuilder transformer. I have "Assume clean data" set to "No", but it is not cleaning the data properly. Some of the edges are broken up according to the other lines, but others are not. These images are the result of my TopologyBuilder transformer, with the vertical line in the middle starting as one long line before being sent to it. As you can see from the highlights, some of the lines are not being split properly.I have zoomed in on these features as far as I can go with QGIS and I do not see a gap between them. I would assume that this is due to some imprecision in the snapping tolerance but I cannot find such a parameter to adjust.This is the transformer as seen in the workbench:

Hello, I have a problem with the LenghtCalculator transformer. The point is that, when I calculate distances of linear segments I expect that visually long ones have bigger distance values but it's not exactly what happend. I want to use it along with a TestFilter to delete lines of lenght below a value of my choice. Thank you in advance. Here is the shapefile I'm working in : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-vycWGAvos7pjCxE7tLXHroA69G1M5-G
