Transformers

I have a lot of orthophotomaps in tiff format. The size of all files is about 900GB. I want to join all files to one. Next I want to change coordinate system and next I want to intersect the orthophoto using appropriate frames. I have problem because FME doesn't operate so big raster. Could You give me advice how can I do it?

Hi I have managed to create new attributes for a SchemaFeature:  And when I set the Excel Writer Schema Sources to "Schema From Schema Feature" I am outputting an excel spreadsheet with the new column headers as I require.  However, I can't work out how to populate these column headers! I tried to populate them in AttributeManager like so:  But then in the excel spreadsheet the values of the column headers replaced the column headers themselves.  I seem to be missing one vital step here but I can't work out what it is. Thanks,

Hi,I have created a series of Dictionaries in the PythonCaller and I want to output the Key and Value pairs as new attributes with values for each feature.Is there syntax using feature.setAttribute to do this?

Hello,I would like to create a personalised ID (counter personalised) with letters and number.I use 2 letters (A to Z) and 1 number (1 to 9), so I would like something like that :AA1AA2AA3...AB1AB2AB3...I don't know how to do that and I don't find the solution on the web. Maybe a python script? But I haven't no knowledge on this langage.If you have any idea...Thank you for your future answer.

I have a number of columns that contain data that can have the following values (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0) These are the only acceptable values but the leading and trailing zeros are being stripped off when the data runs through the FME script. How can I ensure that this does not happen?

I have the error: The below feature caused the translation to be terminated Storing feature(s) to FME feature store file `P:\\WELL_DATA_EXCHANGE\\PGISF_WDERPRT_JS\\log\\WellDataExchange_PopulateReport_log.ffs'I used a recorder in a TEST script now this error is showing up in all my FME scripts

I've got a duration in seconds that I want to format as hours and minutes so I thought I'd tell the DateFormatter that it was %s (seconds since the epoch) and ask for the output %k:%M.The output is an hour too long. (FME 2016.1.3.1)6861 comes out as 2:567861 comes out as 3:11That's not right, is it?

I have been struggling with this issue for two days. In summary, I am reading in some locations with the intent of creating mapping tiles only for those locations (the territory I am covering is huge, so an overall raster + raster tiler is not an option). The flow of the workspace is as follows:Read the "Sample.csv" Calculate the tile boundaries and tiles index numbers based in the PyTileMaker scriptSort the tiles so that similar tiles are grouped (in TileSorter)Generate the tiles bands, raster and points-in-tile in PyMakePointsIn the last step, I need to produce 4 bands (as in RGBA). The raster and bands are 256x256. I can generate the 4 bands if I use FME_INTERPRETATION_UINT8 for the band properties and a UInt8BandTilePopulator to generate the band. Unfortunately, the resulting raster has no idea which band is which in terms of RGB or alpha.So it seems logical that one would generate bands with the proper interpretation property, such as FME_INTERPRETATION_RED8 and a band p

I am wanting to translate a list of files in a directory from one raster format to another by calling an FME workspace using the Python fmeobjects API.import osimport syssys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files\FME\fmeobjects\python27')import fmeobjectsworkbench = r'D:\ESRIGrid2GeoTiff.fmw'directory = r'D:\Test\A Folder'raster_files = [os.path.join(directory, raster) for raster in os.listdir(directory)                if raster.endswith('.asc')]parameters = {'SourceDataset': '\"' + '\" \"'.join(raster_files) + '\"',              'DestinationFolder': directory,              'InputCoordinateSystem': 'MGA94-54'}fme_runner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner()fme_runner.runWithParameters(workbench, parameters)From the log file its seems the issue is that the FME reader splits the paths where there is a space in a folder/file name, even though each path should be enclosed in double quotation marks. I can run the workbench successfully from Python if I input a single file and through FME directly witho

I need to replicate the Select by Location function in ARC.The catch is that I need to be able to set a negative search distance. i.e. I need the polygons in the candidate layer to overlap the filter lay by at least 2 meters. see ARC settings belowI have tried the Spatial Filter and Spatial Relator however I cant see where you can specify a distance.The Neighbour Finder lets you specify a distance but not a negative. Please Help.

We have a locally customized projection grid in Chile, presented as (X,Y) values in an Excel spreadsheet. How can I plugin the grid into FME to be recognized?

I have a group of features that are merged together into a spatial boundary (buffer of 25 feet) and I'd like to scale each group of features (lines included) from a known center point to a scale that would make each group more readable with labels. The number of groups varies from map to map. Each group is created as an inset map to a PDF. The brown diamond is where the center point is and the anchor point for my scaler. I wonder why the scaler transformer doesn't have a group by.

Is it possible to convert a surface to 3d pts, lines or polygons background: I've been given a surface from Civil3D and wrote it to an esri filegdb multipatch feature class using workbench, however you cannot use a multipatch with the surface tools in esri (contour, difference etc.) so i am attempting to recreate the autocad surface as an esri TIN. we don't have access to the masspoints or breaklines that originally generated the civil3d surface

I have in my test spatialFilter that brings in 4 polygons Filters and 11238 Candidates, but the trans only returns Candidates for the first Filter. I get 10 records but should get 40.

For a project I’m trying to use FME to directly write XML formatted metadata, stored in an attribute, to an ArcSDE Oracle database with FME. Following these examples (1&2), It works fine with a SDE Feature Class & the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer. However, for a SDE Raster Dataset I’m experiencing some difficulties: The Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer won’t let me write to SDE Raster Dataset The Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb Raster Dataset) writer doesn’t have the option to set the allowed geometries to geodb_metadata.Does anybody have experience with this issue (and perhaps a solution), or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,I have a workspace with two creators which I use to create a single constant text line each. The rest of the workflow reads data and creates text lines depending on the content of the data (10 lines in this example). Now I want to write the text line of the first creator first to a text file, then the lines generated dependent on the data and the text line from creator_2 last. As Creator_2 is much faster then reading all the data in between, in the resulting text file I get the text line from Creator_1 first, then the line from Creator_2 and the lines from the data last. Is there a way to control that the line created by Creator_2 is written last?So far I can only see that the Creator order can be controlled...thanks,Ludwig

I've tried a combination of CoordinateRounder, Snapper, GeomRefiner, and GeomValidator but am getting the error message after clipping.I've mapped the coordinates from the error message and they appear where the clip has failed. Screenshot below:Green = clipping boundary Blue = needs clippingBrown = clipping failed/did not come through any of the outputs (inside, outside, rejected).Pink = mapped error points to check if they occur at the failed clips.

I am trying to automate one of our processes here, where we import a LandXML file in, then move, rotate and scale to match up to our DCDB. I've got workbenches setup to define how much move, rotate and scale is needed, but what I need to do, is create a control point that won't move, rotate or scale, but the rest of the data to move, rotate and scale around this accurate mark.  How do I define this mark as an anchored point?Once I define this, I'll then ask about how to do these adjustments?

I am currently trying to improve the performance of a data extraction process, and I want to know if an SSD (Solid State Drive) would be beneficial for my particular workflow. The process does not get close to memory limitations, so there is no writing of temporary files (that I am aware of) to disk during the translation. The process finishes by writing a shapefile in a zip file to a local network drive. I would like to know if FME temporarily writes the shapefile to my PC harddrive before it is zipped, because if it DOES, that would suggest that an SSD would be beneficial. But if the zipping process is done entirely in memory, then I doubt an SSD would be of benefit.Can anyone answer my question?

Hi guys,I have two feature classes here one is points and another is polygon. The rule i want to apply is to only let them join by attribute when the point intersects with polygons.Both feature classes are land ownership data hence both of them would have features with same geometry but different attribute (lot number, unit number and etcs)I am thinking to use database joiner to join the table but does anyone knows how i can apply the rule to only let intersected feataures to be joined?Thanks!

Is there any transformer equivalent to COUNTIF or COUNTIFS excel functions in FME.I have a very large csv file that is not openable in excel that i need to perform a count on certain attributes that have numerical values. e.g Count the total number of values between 1-10 etcI am currently using expressionevaluator transformer where it sets an attribute to 1 if condition is met otherwise 0. then i use statistics calculator to sum up the total.wondering if there is any quick and simple way to do that.I have two attributes that i need to check with 5 different conditions

Hello, I am having difficulty finding something similar to this in the Knowledge Center so I thought I would ask. I have an attribute whose value looks like this (it is a full line from a badly formatted text file). Ticket No: 4653 Nearest Intersection: Chinton Street Seq No: 34 I need them split to an attribute list and subsequent value listEg:Attribute_1 = Ticket NoValue_1 = 4653Attribute_2: Nearest IntersectionValue_2: Chinton StreetAttribute_3: Seq NoValue_3: 34It doesn't have to be a "list" as long as I can separate those part of the texts. I am guessing there should be a RegEx way of doing this. The attribute names "Ticket No", "Nearest Intersection" and "Seq No" will always remain the same with their values changing. I am trying to build a script to always separate them. Any suggestions? Thank you!Addition: For the first one, if there was a way to extract between 'Ticket No:' and 'Nearest' that would be fine. I can work
