Hi FME'ers,It's time for the Flavour of the Month award! This - you'll remember - is the person who earned most reputation during a calendar month (and you had to be in the top ten with at least 100 points, and haven't won this before!)The winner for September is @danilo_inovacao with a score of 860 reputation. That's a great score, in a high scoring month, and Danilo joins the list of previous winners @takashi@david_r@jeroenstiers@jdh@itay@gisinnovations@erik_jan@redgeographicsThe top ten for July:david_r: 1946takashi: 1921erik_jan: 1414danilo_inovacao: 860redgeographics: 810courtney_m: 770jdh: 6771spatialdave: 542egomm: 295Congratulations to you all. I'm now off to see if I can finish my word count workspace!Mark

I would like to create a workflow that can convert an HTML page to a pdf file. The image below is an example of what the web page looks like with a map, this map is purely an html file with a layout created in html and request GET links loaded by the website. Can this somehow be read in' as is' via FME and converted to pdf?I am currently using ColdFusion to render this page and save it as pdf .Unfortunately, this process is very intensive and I would like to put the last paret of this process to an FME server.

I'm almost too embarrassed to ask this question, because it seems like something that could be done with one or two statistic calculators, but I just can't find the right solution. Anyway, here is what I want to do:   I have a table with attribute 1 and attribute 2. I want to calculate the count of unique values of attribute 1 having the same attribute 2. Something like this:With statistics calculator I can count the number of all belonging to attribute 2, even all with the same attribute 1 but not only the distinct ones. I would very much appreciate any help with this very simple problem. Thank you!

Hi, I am still new in FME. and I want to count the number of points in a polygon and results should show number of points via the polygon ID   my database are all in shapefiles and have same coordinate systemPolygonNumber of points insideRegion 125Region 265if someone can please post a step by step that would be highly appreciated. thanksLex

Hi All,  I have been trying to create an alias/staging table for an LRS. I have a local routes layer that has been broken down into sections by county, municipalities, and street names. I am looking to create measures for these sections by placing them on our LRS which has M-values. The end goal of this exercise is to produce a table that has ROUTE, ROUTE ALIAS, MUNICIPALITY, COUNTY, START_ACCUM, and END ACCUM.   What I am get caught up on is breaking down these street sections into events (chopper?) and assigning them measures from the LRS. These street segments do not completely line up with the LRS.   Any help would be much appreciated!

I am using the following workflow to pass and INSERT in writer all records with datetime "yesterday". Rest all records will be UPDATE based on an ID field. This workflow will be scheduled to run everyday. I am sure my value field to calculate yesterday is not correct! Any guidance will be helpful.

How to get the geometry property “Min Extents” and “Max Extents” like in FME Data Inspector in my FME Workbench so I can create a new geometry polygon coordinate?

Bonjour,Je cherche à caler des points kilométriques le long d'un réseau linéaire. Pour réaliser ce calage, je dispose de plusieurs fichiers shapefile (shp).• Un fichier réseau qui dispose d'un simple attribut de longueur ;• Un fichier balises qui comprend des points kilométriques déjà calés ;• Un fichier de balises qui comprend des points kilométriques que je souhaite caler par rapport aux autres points. Pouvez-vous m'aider à trouver une chaîne ou des transformers qui me permettrait de caler mes points kilométriques par rapport à ceux déjà caler sur un réseau linéaire ?Merci par avance,

Is it possible to rename a Repsitory once you have Published a few workspaces to one? It appears you have to delete the whole repository and start fresh if you want to go with a different name....?    

Hi! I am using FME 2016 DateFormatter to process a field that some time will contain invalid text. I configured the DateFormatter to only process text in a specific format, but give the same text output to all other input formats.However, the DateFormatter will crash the FME for input of some specific input. The screenshot below shows the configuration I uses in DateFormatter and the error message. The input field value is "8 a.m." without quote. The other inputs such as "between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m." will also crash the FME execution. More details:if I input some other "nicer" random text such as "sldfjsldfj", the DateFormatter will successfully return "some text" as configured.if I change the Source Date Format configuration to "Auto-Detection", "some text" will also be returned.Attached is my test FME script.My guess is, DateFormatter is unfortunately tricked by some specific text when it attempt to parse the input.

I'm looking into developing a data validation system for ArcGIS using their Data Reviewer product. Some of the tests will require creation of temporary & permanent data sets that might best be accomplished with FME. Does Safe have a white paper or any documentation on how FME might be used conjunctively with the ArcGIS Data Reviewer product? Has anyone attempted this before?I'm thinking it can be done with python calls from Data Reviewer to the os to invoke workbench, then interpret the FME logs and output tables and write to the appropriate Data Reviewer tables.

Hello,I would like to split the lines in my feature class only where it intersects with a separate linear feature class.I have my base linear feature class, and a second linear feature class that I have created to demarcate exactly where the base lines should be split. Is there a transformer that can easily do this?

My workspace created this QR code with a description below it was created by a rastermoasaicker from two png files - one for the QR and another one for the text below it.The blue section with text extends by about 300 pixels more than the QR code - string length is up to 50 characters. When the raster mosaicker merges the two pictures together the nodata section of the merge is now replaced with black pixels. On RasterMosaicker, I tried "Overlapping Values: Last with Nodata Overwriting Data to No" and Overlapping Values: Maximum (255) and netheir one worked.I prefer to have it white or no data. So far every thing I've tried has not worked yet. Any suggestions?

Hi All,  simple Questionhow can I create station points in FME? i have a line object (shape and in one attribute the measure length) and i want create station points every 100m (for example) which have an attribute with measurement (for example 100....200......300 and so on)  Thank you Franco

I used the QRCode transformer in a separate workspace to create the png. I need to add the "Data" attribute stored on the QR Code by the transformer added as an image below the QR Code. So I'm mosaicking the QR Code with its own description below it. With the two sets of PNG files (1 for the QR Code and another for the description), I'd like to produce a mosaicked png from the two sources.For some reason the writer is not working.I wonder what else I can to produce one feature per ID.Attached is a screenshot of my workspace and the inspector for ten features.

I am trying to format a source attribute that stores a date value as a single 4-character long year value (1995, 2000, 2005) to be in ISO date format (1995-01-01). However my DateFormatter transformer is only outputting values for the current date or for the default value when it encounters an invalid value (0001-01-01).Any ideas? I'm lost. See below for pictures describing the problem.Workbench & DateFormatter transformerOriginal dates before being transformed(The "YEAR" attribute is renamed to "utility_year_of_construction" in between here)Dates after being transformed

Hello,Anyone know why my workbench does not stop running after the translation is completed? I try using one htmltable reader is ok. But once I added the second htmltable reader it just not stop running. See the screenshot:I also attached the fmw file below:

Hi I have been trying to use the SOAPSender (http://fmestore.safe.com/transformers/SOAPSender.htm) custom transformer and not having any luck with getting a successful response from a test service (which is providing the correct response when using other clients).  Is there anybody that has had success with this transformer and would be willing to provide some hints/ tips please ? Do I need to do anything FME-specific for the SOAP body ?  A snippet of a working workbench would be very handy, thanks  Thanks Tim

I see there's no Socrata Reader in FME, but is there some way that I can read data from my Socrata Open Data Portal?

Hi, I have an LOD1 3D Building in a single cell in Microstation DGN with a cutout - donut geometry. The cell contains 3 levels, i.e. Level 1 - roof, Level 2 - wall, Level 3 - footprint. Both levels 1 and 3 are with a cutout (donut geometry) stored as grouped holes in the DGN. FME Data Inspector - cannot display the feature properly. FME Workspace - I need to convert it to CityGML but the feature does not seem to be read as expected, i.e. donut geometry.Please see the data attachedYour help much appreciated!Many thanks,Magda

I am trying to find shortest distance from all points to all other points in my dataset. I have used a topology builder and a network topology calculator to verify my network data. I don't get any features coming through the 'Path' output port. All of them exit via unused and no path found.I have attached a screenshot of my workspace.

Hi SafeI've been experimenting with the XSLTProcessor and transforming a XSL derived document to Word format. All the information comes across to the Word doc however the formatting of text (eg, font size, font color, font type), page margins, (table) column widths and some other document elements are not retained. Does the XSLTProcessor honor the formatting elements associated with XSL or in-line HTML formatting? - there's very little information associated with the XSLTProcessor 'Help'ThanksConch

I am trying to translate a SHP file with NAD83 coordinates in meters to MIF/MID LL WGS84 degree data. Is this possible?

Hi I ran this yesterday and I got geometry and today no geometry. I can't figure out what is going on. I am trying to bring through a TLA boundary layer. Feature Type shows allowed goemetries as xml_area but when i run the inspector it just has a table and no geometry in this view. Not sure what is going on so hoping someone can help.https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz/services;key=1cc31ed95b0f4fd8ac0f29950daf656d/wfs?service=WFS&request;=GetCapabilities
