Transformers

Hi,I use FME form through ArcGIS Data interoperability workbench and I work with the national Swedish coordinate system 3006 Sweref 99 tm. I cannot display these features with the standard background maps and get: This does not happen in the regular FME Form and they display without problem there. How can I solve this in ArcGIS DI workbench?Is the standard FME Form able to do some kind of on the fly reprojection to view the features on the standard base/background maps? Best regards,Karl

I am trying to use the FilenameExtractor to get the rootname of the source file to match the new filename in a different source directory with a different format i.e. my pipeline is essentiallyMyFileName.xlsx → MyFileName.jsonCurrently if I use the source filename input paramter the behavior is like:MyFileName.xlsx → MyFileName.xlsx.json , which I don’t want.I tried using the FileNameExtractor where _rootname gets set as a user paramet but then the output is like:MyFileName.xlsx → _rootname.json The value of the user parameter does not actually extract the rootname and save its value as the user parameter dynamically. Can anyone help?edit:Scripted Python (safe.com)I used a scripted parameter at the start of the workspace but still curious as to why

In FME Flow 2024.0, when PythonCaller hits an Exception it doesn’t specify where the exception occurred -- we only get Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::ExceptionPython Exception <IndexError>: list index out of rangePythonCaller (PythonFactory): Group 28 / 20195: PythonFactory failed to process group properly However, there are numerous instances of indexing lists that could be responsible for this!Am I missing something? Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does Safe Software need to fix this? (How do I ask them to fix this, besides posting here?)

Good morning,I am reading a DEM stored as a raster feature class in a gdb, clipping to an AOI and then writing to JPEG to be used in road design software.I can read and clip properly but having trouble writing to JPEG. I have gathered I need to set up bands differently but I have tried the rasterbandinterpretationcoercer and rasterbandadder and rasterinterpretationcoecer in various configurations/settings and can’t seem to get it to write a JPEG. Usual error is about the number or type of bands depending on how I set the coercers etc.DEM raster feature information Any suggestions would be welcome.Thank you so much,Corey

FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)Hello FMEers,I have a set of Esri feature classes that we are supplying to our clients so they can submit data to us using a standard schema. On submission we want to verify they haven’t modified the data structure using the method described here. The method compares two datasets using the SchemaScanner and works well if there is at least one record in each feature type. It doesn’t work if there are no records in one of the datasets to be compared. This is expected because there are simply no features coming out of the ‘template’ feature class reader to work with.My question: is there any way to achieve the intent of the abovementioned article when one of my inputs has no records, only the table definition? The method works fine if I include a dummy record in the ‘tem

FIs this a bug on FME(R) 2023.1.1.1? I’m using FME(R) 2023.1.1.1. I’m trying to filter some data using Tester and I used IN with a parameter has 2 items both of which are present in my dataset. But the tester filters just 1 record. Why is that? 

At this moment I received a DWG drawing with both Extended and Object data. To convert this data I first have to read with:Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3Dthen read withAutodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Object Dataand merge all features on the autocad_entity_handle Am I doing something wrong or is this the only way to get both attributes?Is it possible build a transformer that uses both reading engines because I think that would make the reader faster than current.

Hi all,I am trying to show all tables with contents in a database. I have a database with over 800 tables. Some tables are empty, some are not.  Im using this query in a sql client:SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(t.[schema_id]) AS [table_schema]          ,OBJECT_NAME(p.[object_id]) AS [table_name]          ,SUM(p.[rows]) AS [row_count]    FROM [sys].[partitions] p    INNER JOIN [sys].[tables] t ON p.[object_id] = t.[object_id]    WHERE p.[index_id] < 2    GROUP BY p.[object_id]        ,t.[schema_id]    ORDER BY row_count desc  If i am using a Sql Executor with this sql statement i have a return value of more than 300 tables wich is correct. In the preview of the feature window i see more than 300 lines. But i dont see any attributes like a table name or the

Hello everyone,I am trying to write data into an SQL Database which contains multiple geometries (This is borehole location data containing the originaly measured location (point), a corrected location (point) an a borehole path (linestring)). After creating the geometries from fields and using a GeometryPropertySetter for each of these geometries I am using an Aggregator followed by a MultipleGeometrySetter-Transformer. This is working more or less as in 3 Geometries are in fact written into the database which then also contains 3 fields with SQL geometries as set by the 3 GeometryPropertySetters. But there seems to be a problem. Between setting the individual geometries and aggregation, all info on the previously set projections seems to be lost. Upon inspecting each individual GeometryPropertySetter all points are where they should be. Inspecting the following aggregator shows all points off bounds somewhere. It is my understanding that the aggregator should simply

I would like to create 5 cm buffer around 3 Cube without having rounded corners or edges.  Exactly the same as its original with 5cm buffer ?  thank you in advance  

I want to set up an FME workflow which I can reuse for projects, in which input data differs. For this, I want to load different shape files into FME using a parameter (the shapefilename). These shape files have different attribute names, so I wanted to use the schema mapper to map these different attributes.The problem is that I cannot get a dynamic reader to work properly (I used feature merge). When I load in the first shapefile for the first project, the reader sets the user attributes to the attribute names of the first shapefile . If I restart and load in the second shapefile , it won’t expose the attributes from the second shapefile (the attributes from the first shapefile remain!). How can I set up the reader to be able to handle different input schemes and change the exposed attributes dynamically, based on the input files?

Hi,In case I select ISO format in TimeStamper, does it assume that it is UTC or not nesessarily?How to set it to UTC?  

Hello,In FME 2023 , in the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer the tolérance = “None” parameter has been removed. There only option of “Automatic” or “Custom value”.Question : if there was Tolerance = “none” in pre FME 2023 .fmw scripts, should we use Custom Value = 0 to have the same result as tolérance = none  or “Automatic”?Thanks

Hei, er det noen som kan hjelpe meg med å lage en fme-modell som konverterer 2.5D bygninger i sosi/quadri til 3D-bygninger ? Det er høyde på alle objekter, men høydene ligger ikke som  egenskaper.Ønsker et filformat som kan brukes i qgis for å bygge 3D-modeller.

We generate certain types of transformers (mostly HTTPCaller) with some attributes prefilled and want our users to be able to copy the content from a file or web source and paste it directly into FME Workbench, or use drag and drop, if possible. We don’t want to use custom transformers, which works, but the overhead would be overkill. The problem is that the paste does not work, CTRL+V does nothing and the paste menu option is greyed out. I tried with a direct clone of a working transformer so the format is correct. If I copy a transformer, paste it into an editor, copy the editors content and try to paste it back to Workbench it won’t work. I don’t know why this does not work but I persume it might have something to do with encoding. Does anyone have a clue how to overcome this issue, or maybe a workaround? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I have an object like the one in the screenshot which is read from an IFC file. And I have some 3D points in a GeoJSON file. I want to copy the object on each point coming from my GeoJSON file.And also, I want to rotate them in their place.  What can be the optimum solution?Thanks! 

I created this line from a set of (X;Y) values of points : I’m trying to turn the lines straight and then buffer them to have a result like this: Is that even possible ? i tried using Bufferer directly then Generalizer , but the result is not good : Any Insight is much appreciated !

When I try and run the dashboard workspaces they fail with statusMessage File Dashboards/JobHistoryStatisticsGathering/JobHistoryStatisticsGathering.fmw could not be openedWhen I look around the FME Server files I cant find any of the dashboard workspaces. Where did they go? Where can I get them?

Hi everyone,I’m hopeful somebody here will have seen this behaviour before and can help me to understand what’s going on. I’m getting an error when trying to decode some Base64 documents that have been read out of a system but I’m not sure why and I’m not sure I can easily create a sample workflow to demonstrate it, as I’ll explain.The task is to extract specific documents form an API connected to a document management system. I’ve been able to create a workflow that will identify the required document IDs and then extract the documents into feature attributes for me.The document data that is returned to me is in Base64 format. When I post the output data into an online conversion as a test, it is converted into a usable image (in the case that I tried). From this I assume that all other documents will work similarly.When I pipe that output into a BinaryDecoder and ask it to decode the Base64 attribute, it throws an error complaining about the input.

Hello. I have three line vectors in SHP format (Red, Yellow, and Green). All of them are 100% overlapping in plan, but some are shorter than the others.Which transformer should I use to remove the overlapping area from the Green line that intersects with the Yellow line, and from the Yellow line to remove the overlapping area with the Red line? Please refer to the sketch below.I tried with Clipper but it didn’t work. Thanks in advice! 

As per my knowledge, FME does not supports reading Multi-part Annotation features from Geodatabases (File or Enterprise).Is there a way or workaround to handle reading and writing Multi-part Annotation features?

Hi All, I have a list of data features like thisName   Phone Number   CitySmith   123-456-7890     New YorkBob      987-654-3210     HustonIn addition, I have a single lookup feature like thisCompany   Idxyz             123I would like to merge the lookup feature into the list of data features like thisName   Phone Number   City             Company   IdSmith   123-456-7890     New York    xyz             123Bob      987-654-3210     Huston       xyz              123 I thought I can use transformers FeatureMerger or FeatureJoiner to do this. However, since I don’t have a common attribute to compare, neither of them works. Can anyone help me on this issue here? Thanks,-John

Hi All,I’m working on a workbench to help my team with some geo-processing. The plan is to upload the workbench to FME Flow therefore my team can run it on demand.I have included a FeatureReader transformer at the beginning of the workflow to read a GDB containing cadastral polygon data. This is an User Parameter in the workbench therefore the user will be including the input.The GDB should always have the same fields/order, any variation in the scheme...the tool will fail,How can I check and inform the user at the beginning of the process that the scheme doesn’t follow the standard GIS schema?I was think about the SchemeScanner or ChangeDetector...but open to suggestionsHere is a very basic screenshot that shows two FeatureReaders → Features To Read (Only Schema), 

Hello everyone ,i am currently working on Lidar data , i am reading a set of points from a json file and creating vertices based on the coordinates.here is how the json file containing the Lidar data looks like :  (a bunch of (x,y) set of points)in order to make use of FME point cloud specific transformers i need to convert these points from point geometry to Point cloud geometry , any idea on how i could do that ?Thanks in advance

Hi, I‘m stuck at a simple point. I want to make the AttributeKeeper filter from @Value or a User Parameter which is created by the AttributeCreator. Is it possible? I don't find a solution.The goal is to get more attributes late in a row: test_2,test_4,_test_x in the AttributeKeeper from the AttributeCreator/User Parameter.
