Transformers

I’m looking at a workflow wherein the start point is this: Underwater photo manually copied into Powerpoint Measurement grid overlaid Percentage cover of different plant species estimated by eye Results copied to ExcelI haven’t dabbled in CV at all within FME, just read this blog - and this may be jumping in the deep end - but am wondering if this scenario might be a candidate? 

Hello,  I am struggling to read a very simple table from a PDF, I just want to have something in the output. I have turn on only the "Read Tagged Tables" in the Reader's parameters, but nothing is coming out from it. The reader is not being created in my window. I have created a special table from excel in PDF to be sure that the table was fine. It looks simple in the FME presentation... https://www.safe.com/convert/geospatial-pdf/excel/ Could someone git me a hint about what am I doing wrong?  Thanks! My simple PDF with its readable table: My Reading parameters:

I have a collection of photos and a point layer in SHP (Shapefile) format. I aim to replicate the functionality of 'Enable Attachments' from ArcGIS Pro. Specifically, I want to associate each photo with its corresponding point on the map based on matching the photo file names with a column in the point layer. Is that possible? What transformers should I use?

Am sure am missing out some step or obtain right setting. I am trying to extract points that fall inside or intersect 3D Cube .  I am also getting points as an output that are not within 3D Cube .     Please note: 3D is cube is multi-surface with different shapes and its IFC file.  I shall be highly obliged with FME Community expert to help me with their know-how and expert

I am new to JSON, I’ve read the guides on here and have tried several ways to sort this without success.I’m using a JSON Reader to read from a file.The table has just three columns: OBJ; TIMESTAMP; and PK1.However, there are 114 attributes I can see in the Feature Information window which I need to bring into the table. (I am hoping ultimately that I won’t need 114 attributes!) As you can see I have tried the 4 transformers listed but without success. The answer might be to configure one of them correctly or link one to the next… but over to you clever folks to see if anyone can come up with the answer.Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom. :-)  

Hello every one i have excel file saved in microsoft sharepoint, i need to read this file and update some attrbute without dowloading this file to my pc and update and upload again, i need to read and update directly in the file Thanks

HiWhile converting an existing chain of workspaces from 2022.1 to 2024.0 version i ran into this issue:The current FME process locale has been changed from 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8' to 'C' and FME has restored it back to 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8'. It is undefined behavior to call 'setlocale()' in plugin code and doing so may cause unexpected errors..Python version 3.12 loaded successfullyPython: There is a known Windows bug that may cause instability when using Python in the current locale.

Good morning all - hoping that you can help me; I’ve got a fairly lengthy workbench which we run daily updating our internal data warehouse from a variety of sources. due to the complexisty, there are several no features testers included in the workbench which continue the translation when no data feeds in at certain points. However, there are certain instances where we would want the translation to stop (no new source file available, source system not ready for update etc.). We currently use terminators in order to stop the subsequent no features testers from triggering - however it would make it easier for us to keep on top of our monitoring if this didn’t then appear as a failed job in our server log - is there any alternative way of stopping the translation without it appearing as a fail? 

I'm building a data validation tool and utilising the AttributeValidator heavily as part of the process. There are a couple of attributes that are "optional" but have an associated list of valid values (field validation/domain). This means they are allowed to be null, but if they have a value, it must be one of the pre-defined valid values.  I'm hoping to use the Conditional Value option for Rule Configuration as below:  However, upon running the workbench, FME terminates and the translation fails immediately due to "unbalanced quotation marks on line XXXX of file <workbench directory>\\wb-xlate-1700200438336_13788". Is this a bug or is my conditional value rule configuration just incorrect?

In my scenario, I have an FME script that performs data validation. If the data is valid, it updates the database. However, if any records contain errors, I want to capture those records in an Excel file for users to review before uploading the data. In this error case, no data will be updated to database. So, the logic I'm aiming for is as follows:Validate the data. After validating all data, capture all invalid records to an Excel file. Then, terminate the FME script without uploading the data to the database. If all data is valid, proceed to upload it to the database.I've attempted to create a flow with a terminator, but the Excel writer doesn't have a connector. Connecting the terminator to the output port of the TestFilter after validation would terminate the writing of the error Excel file as well.Can anyone provide suggestions to solve this issue?

I have two point files and need to identify the nearest point in file A to the nearest point in file B, however the matching must be unique. Meaning once a point in file B is matched to a point in file A it cannot be matched to any other point in file A.I can match them using nearest neighbor but don't see a way to restrict to eliminate duplicate matching, so I end up with the same point in file B matched to multiple points in file A.

Hi All,I’m having a bit of headache to read all the SHP included within a ZIP through the FeatureReader transformer, I’m getting the following error Shapefile and cannot be read for some reason. I can reader it with the normal SHP reader but can’t get it to work on FeatureReader, here is a screenshot of the settings: What am I doing wrong? 

Hi all,I have a 15 minute timestep data which has random missing values (expected). I’ve managed to track where the data has gaps, but in order to calculate a consistent rolling 24 average of the value I need to fill these missing gaps with a timestep but null value (so i can calculate an average from the preceding X values)Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fill these data gaps automatically? Or better still calculate a 24 hour rolling average using specific timesteps rather than just number of rows? Thanks 

I have a SHP file with geometry. It has an attribute called 'id_alt.' I would like to extract only the values of this attribute. Is there any way to convert these values into variables that I can use the value use with TESTER after UUIDGenerator to filter my data? Alternatively, what is the most efficient method to achieve this with FME  

I have an attribute containing String values such asGladstone RegionalSouthern Downs Regional, Goondiwindi RegionalMoreton Bay City, Noosa Shire, Somerset Regional, Sunshine Coast RegionalI want to replace the last comma with “ &” so that the output will look like thisGladstone RegionalSouthern Downs Regional & Goondiwindi RegionalMoreton Bay City, Noosa Shire, Somerset Regional & Sunshine Coast RegionalIs there a way to use a Regular Expression inside the StringReplacer transformer to accomplish this?

Hello everyone, I want to get the largest rectangle inside a parallelogram. Do you have any good ideas for achieving this goal? I didn’t find an efficient answer on the web.  Is there a transformer/workflow in FME that can do this?Thank you very much for the help! Jenny

HI, I’m looking into using HTTP caller to update records in my Salesforce Org I am struggling to get anything workisng, I have tried to setup a connected app to setup a FME web Connection but keep getting an error. The aim is that another service calls the FME job and it runs and updates a record in Salesforce, we have the record ID for each run so we know what record and field to update but I’m also not sure using the HTTP Caller how to have it refresh the token also?   I have also tried following this guidehttps://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407494166029-Connecting-to-Salesforce-in-FMEbut everytime I try to test it come up with a Network Error: invalid_request Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Dear, I want to merge two different datasets. One data set has road segments with a maximum speed and the other is bike segments. For each bike segment I want to know what the maximum speed is on the nearby road segment. Now I want to merge for each bike segment the road segments that are near (next to each other) I have tried anchored snapper but that does not work 100procent. Do you have some ideas on how I could take this problem on?Thank you in advance  (purple the road segments, pink? the bike segments) Only the segments that are parallel to each other should be combined 

Hi All, I have FME Form 2023.2.I am trying to make a REST API call using HTTPCaller. I got this error below,{    "code": "data_validation_error",    "message": "Invalid request values. Unexpected character ('_' (code 95)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')",    "status": 400,    "traceId": "240425163408767-2c15ec9a"}However, the same request works just fine on Postman. Not sure what exactly the error means here. Can anyone help me on this?Here is the HTTPCaller screenshot.Here is the request body, Here is the error messages from the Translation log.######

Hi, I’m having an issue with the StasticsCalculator returning some nulls for min and max. And also some unexpected rounded max values. Input data I’m calculating statistics on avg_dur field and grouping by SEG_ID. Unexpected results highlighted. The avg_dur field is data type real32. For some reason changing the data type to real64 results in the stats being calculated as expected.The ave_dur field was originally imported from an esri shapefile with data type .

HiCurrently I am converting a DWG file to GDB (file) / SHP,The DWG file itself has line and polygon and they have color based on their different layer name.Once I read the file, it showed only FME feature name, I used AttributeExposer to add autocad color column and a few more useful information, then I used DWGStyler and FeatureColorSetter but once I write the file to GDB or SHP and bring the data to ArcGISPro, the layer has only one single color. (Please see the attachments) Can someone give me a clue how to solve it? 

Hi All,I’m trying to improve the performance of my workbench by reducing the number of transformers. I was able to use AttributeManager to calculate the length of lines with the expression @Length() but I can’t work out how to round up the value up to 3 decimal places,Is that doable using the arithmetic expression instead of AttributeRounder transformer? 

Hello,I am trying to convert data from shapefile to DWG.To do that, I am using the DWGStyler to assign the correct setting to each object.Reading the post in the community, I am able to use the DWGStyler using a template and the right color is assigned to each object in CAD so, I see the match between the color in the canvas and the color in the Layer’s list. But, in some cases, I don’t have the template and when I open the file in autocad I can see the right color in the canvas assigned by the DWGStyler but in the Autocad list layer I see all layers in “red”, I attached an example. How can I resolve this situation to have the perfect match for the layer’s colors to avoid a manual rework without using the template? Thanks Max  

Problem in short:I have a lot of points which some has identical coordinates. PointOnPointOverlayer does this for me and store the “twins” in a list name. Now I want to use a Pythoncaller to loop through the list of each feature and figure out if some or none of the twin attributes has a value that should update the the major feature. The problem is that I cant seem to reach the list variable created in PointOnPointOverlayer from the Pythoncaller. It seems to be exposed when running with feature cache and checking output from PointOnPointOverlayer. What’s the magic for reading the list, looping throug it and check the attribute values? Tried this example code from the PythonCaller just to see if I could reach the list but can’t see anything:
