Hello fellow FME form users,I had a script which worked in FME 2022.2, but not in FME 2023.2. I then get the following error:<WMTS> An error occurred while generating the GetTile URL, please check the dataset URL and selected parameters Another weird thing is when I make a fme workspace app based on this fme script, then I don't get the error at all and I manage to get results. It's just not clear  to mer why the script doesn work in fme workbench 2023.2I have checked the following parameter to yes: “Prefer Dataset to URL” This is our curernt fme form build:FME(R) 2023.2.0.0 (20231201 - Build 23764 - WIN64) and this is our curernt fme flow build:FME Flow 2023.2.1Build 23774 - win64I have attached the workspace, so that others can also test with my workspace.

Hello FME Community,In order to retrieve the list of fields from Shapefiles, I am currently using the following workflow: SchemaScanner => ListExploder => AttributeManager(Name).csv.My objective is to perform this process on a set of Shapefiles contained in a folder and output the CSV files into another folder while keeping their original filenames.However, I encountered some issues with this setup:Filename Issues: I am having trouble preserving the original filename for each output CSV file. The current workflow doesn't seem to carry over the original Shapefile name correctly. AttributeManager: I'm using AttributeManager to manage field names, but I'm unsure if I'm configuring it correctly for this task. It doesn't seem to handle the filename dynamically.Do you have any suggestions or solutions to address these issues? 

Hello,my challenge may have already been solved, or it may be difficult for me. Maybe I'm just missing something:i have a line dataset and a point dataset. the points are measurement points of the lines. in our convention, a line has 2 measurement points, an arc has three measurement points and splines have at least 4. there is no attributive connection between the two datasets. the measurement points are identical to the corresponding veritces of the lines 3D.the line represents the upper edge of the sidewalk and i derive the lower edge of the sidewalk (street level) from a point cloud. due to the point cloud, the lines jump at the vertices in height along the line. i want to interpolate the line and have so far fed the 3D interpolator with the start and end point of the line and let it interpolate the line. so far so good.but now i want the lines to be interpolated not only at the start and end points, but always exactly at the vertices at which a measuring point from the point data

Hi, I do some requests over an api to get some features.As result I have some attributes for each feature. One of them is containing the coordinates (lat,lon)Something like this:52.2413243,10.5215958,52.2411936,10.5215612,52.2410751,10.5215738,52.2409598,10.5215146...Is there a simple way to use the geometry attribute with structure lat,lon,lat,lon… and convert these values to vertices? I assume I have to use vertexcreator? But I do not want to define all nodes separate. Does someone know a smart way to do this in fme ? Thanks in advance

I have 2 datasets within my workspace and wish to append the contents from one into the other.  Will need to map fields as they are not named the same.  (or can do an attributerenamer step beforehand. ) No join clause is required, it’s just a simple append.What are the recommended steps?

Hello, I’m using the LandXML writer to export a surface. However, FME creates two Parcels, in addition to the surface (that i created based on a point cloud). These Parcels cause problems when trying to import the surface into some software. Civil 3D works fine, since it support Parcels, but for other software it does not work. Is there a way to NOT create parcels when exporting the LandXML?

Hi, I'm using the latest FME desktop workbench version FME(R) 2022.2.0.0 (20221103 - Build 22765 - WIN64)) to convert IFC to GIS. For some IFCs files the workbench failed at the last step to write to the geodatabase, then the workbench gets terminated. The error is Internal error running translation Postcondition: Expression: FME_SUCCESS == badLuckI'm wondering what it means? thank you. Full error log attached below:Feature output statistics for `GEODATABASE_FILE' writer using keyword `IFC_Process::IFC_Process_FeatureWriter_0': =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-                 Features Written =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- DP_320ELGE00__GCLR_DC_320BDAR02_MD3_0001                  13 ============================================================================== Total Features Written                           13 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Inte

Hi I am trying to use the XMLTemplater with a SUB template. The start of the ROOT expression looks like this (from an existing xml file that it valid)When I run the workspace I get this message. Does anyone know what the syntax error is and how to correct it?

Hi,I’ve tried a few times to do this over the years but I haven’t been successful. What I want to do is convert a set of cubemap images into on equirectangular panorama. Kind of like this:I know there are a lot of free python solutions of Github, but I haven’t been able to get any of them to successfully work. I’m not particularly good a python and I don’t want to install any script packages. I’d prefer to do this entirely within FME as I am already loading in the images.Would anyone know a solution?

Hello ,I am running workbench with caches .to check the result of each transformer . I have main custom transformer includes many custom transformers .when I make any changes inside the custom transformer  so I have to run the main custom transformer to see the results of changes for the inside custom  transformers .but it takes long time and I have each time to wait when I make small changes inside it .Could I run the transformers or custom transformers inside the main custom transformer  without running the main custom transformer for each time ? if possible ,How  ? thanks in advance Fme 2021

I have been given a .JSON file to try and convert into an output Esri File Geodatabase format. I have managed to flatten the nested JSON values into attributes, and can view these ok. However, I am having a real issue trying to get my workbench to read the coordinate values that make up the polygon geometry objects. If someone could assist that would be much appreciated. I have attached a file, but stripped it back just to include the line containing the coordinate information for one polygon. Thanks, R 

I use a workspace that reads a list of data sources in an Excel file. The data sources are either a gml file, in url format or not, or wfs urls. The workspace reads the data and converts and merges it into one filegdb.In total, the workspace processes approx. 50,000 features. Nevertheless, the following error message often occurs: HTTP transfer error: 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' when reading (with a FeatureReader) the WFS sources. See also the discussion in: problem-wfs-query-5215.Findings (including those based on) this last discussion:Increasing Timeout values ​​or limiting the maximum number of features to be read does not seem to have any effect.  Another suggestion to read the GetFeature request via a browser resulted in the expected XML content for most services, but for the wfs that gives the HTTP transfer error, in an image with only coordinates and attribute values ​​in text format. It can take a while for the browser (Chrome in this case) to convert the read v

Hello, Hope I am posting thing in the correct area! I have an FME workbench that takes a series of inputs, overlays them and sends them to point feature on our AGOL server. This process worked until yesterday when all of a sudden I keep getting an error message saying that it cannot find the REST service.“ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type 'Utility Side _ Customer Side'”What is weird is that I have a reader for the exact same service that can see and read the service the writer cannot seem to find.

I have created a series of workbenches that populate an ESRI File Geodatabase. Each workbench corresponds to an individual feature dataset. I have created a workbench with Workspace Runners for each of the individual workbenches so I can run them from there instead of individually.I have used a schemaScanner in the individual workbenches because the schema may change on the incoming datasets without my knowledge. For this reason I had set the first workbench run to overwrite the geodatabase instead of truncate to account for schema changes when doing geodatabase updates. However when I try to run it, I get an error that the geodatabase is locked. To get around this, at the beginning of the workbench I’d like to delete the existing geodatabase and then run each of the workbenches to recreate it. To do this I have read I should move the geodatabase to a temporary folder that FME will then delete at the end of the workbench run. I am have used the temp path creator to create an attribute

Hi, I'm attempting to classify the ground from point cloud data using FME transformers, but I haven't been able to achieve the expected results. Could you please provide a detailed workflow for ground classification in FME? I specifically want to generate a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the ground, excluding other features. Thanks! Classification Point cloud Orthomosaic 

Hello everyone,I have the following data structure and I don’t know which solution would be the best in FME Form to get the required result:attribute1; attribute2; attribute3Kreuzberg; Rom; group 1Berlin; Kreuzberg; group 1England; London; group 4London; England; group 4Lissabon; Carrer; group 2Carrer; Lissabon; group 1Kreuzberg1; Rom; group 1Rom; Kreuzberg2; group 1I need to create a group_id attribute that has the same id where attribute1 values reappear in attribute 2 and vice versa + the features need to have the same attribute3 to get the same group_id. This is how the output should look like:attribute1; attribute2; attribute3;group_idKreuzberg; Rom; group 1;1Berlin; Kreuzberg; group 1;1England; London; group 4;2London; England; group 4;2Lissabon; Carrer; group 2;3Carrer; Lissabon; group 1;4Kreuzberg1; Rom; group 1;5Rom; Kreuzberg2; group 1;5Thanks for helping!

I’m following this API documentation to authenticate and can successfully do so in Postman.  However, with the HTTPCaller it keeps returning a 400 error:    "error": {        "code": "no_grant_type_provided",        "message": "Bad Request",        "status": 400    },I feel like I’m close but can’t crack this nut...what am I doing wrong?? Postman:Postman HTTPCaller:HTTPCaller 

I have several polygons. They follow a line pattern where tre long polygons should be one large, and by that i mean that there should be no space between them, and instead of three long polygons it should be one large. The following image shows three pairs, so these nine polygons should be three larger polygons.  Any idea how to do this? 

Hi,Using 2024.1 : not sure if I’m supposed to feel zen about that, but I don’t. Before I just had to click once to get into parameters.Now I have to click twice to get into parameters. I am more frustrated than zen.My personal feeling.

I need to find lines which are completely outside polygonsI am using the Spatialfilter with “Filter is OGC-Disjoint From Candidate”. All of them pass and I dont understand why?Current workflow This is my dummy data i am using. As you can see, the line highlighted with the red box is clearly the only line disjointed from the polygon. So why does all candidate pass, it make no sense to me? What form of transformer should i use if what I do is wrong? Its obvious to me that it qualifies os OGC disjoint?https://docs.safe.com/fme/2023.2/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/spatialrelations.htm

I have a JSON template that I want to fill with values from two corresponding lists using xquery.The two lists look like this:keywords_thematic_en = ["test", "trial","error","datapool","API","REST"]keywords_thematic_de = ["Test", "Versuch","Fehler","Datenpool","API","REST"]keywords_thematic = {"en":keywords_thematic_en,"de":keywords_thematic_de} The JSON template I want to fill looks like this:{"keywords": [ { "value":keywords_thematic_en,"valueDE": keywords_thematic_de,"type": "THEMATIC" }]} In python, this looks like this:keywords_thematic_en = ["test", "trial","error","datapool","API","REST"]keywords_thematic_de = ["Test", "Versuch","Fehler","Datenpool","API","REST"]keywords_thematic = {"en":keywords_thematic_en,"de":keywords_thematic_de}jsonSnippet = '{"keywords": []}'jsonSnippetKW=''for keyword in keywords_thematic["en"]: jsonSnippetKW = jsonSnippetKW +'{ "value":'+ keyword + ',"valueDE": '+ keywords_thematic["de"][keywords_thematic["en"].index(keyword)]+',"type": "THEMATIC" }

Hi everyone,I'm trying to check if polygons from Dataset A overlap with polygons from Dataset B in FME. I’ve attempted to use the SpatialFilter, but it only offers options like "intersects" or "touches." However, I specifically need to determine if the polygons are overlapping.Has anyone encountered this issue or found a way to achieve this in FME? Any suggestions would be appreciated!Thanks in advance!

I am attempting to create a workbench to read, process, and convert IFC and 12dxml files into gdb files (multipatch and basic respectively. The output for the IFC/GDB Multipatch is working properly and is set to a dynamic filename without issue. However the output for the 12dxml only runs when targeting a specific location (can’t set filename dynamically) and even then it returns a message saying that 0 features were output. I am fairly new to FME and have not been able to determine why this is failing, short of the possibility that the writer is trying to write polylines and getting information in as polygons, which I am unsure how to fix. I have attached the rather voluminous log on the chance someone is able to point me at the particular error I need to fix.

Hi,I keep going in circles and can’t think of an easy way to do this. Has anyone got any tipsBasically, I have an attribute such as “TEST_240829_MLS_5_316460_5816230”What I what to do is remove “_316460_5816230” from the end. I’m wanting it to adaptively remove this part of the string from several thousand inputs.Normally I would use the attribute trimmer however the length of this part of the string will change (not a constant thing I can remove). This part of the input string does always start at the second last occurrence on the “_” delimiter and go until the end. The amount of delimiters is not constant in the part of the string I want to keep though, so I also can’t use the attribute splitter and then rebuild the part I want from the parts of a listIs there an easy wany to do this?

I have a workbench set up on a desktop PC that is reading numerous data sets from folders on that computer. The workbench is also saved locally.I have moved a copy of the data and workbench in the same folder structure onto our shared network where the start of the file path is different.eg. C:\\Data\\Workbench.fmw & C:\\Data\\Input\\Data.xlsbecomesP:\\Project\\Projectname\\Data\\Workbench.fmw & P:\\Project\\Projectname\\Data\\Input\\Data.xls How can I set up the workbench so I only need to change the folder path to data sources once, and all the others know that the relative path has changed? Thanks!
