Appending new records to Shapefile using FME

I’m just curious if someone could help me or give me a little direction. I was given the task to geocode a list of addresses from an excel table and populate them on a map. That part is all good but one of the tasks in the project is to append new addresses that come in and have them update on the map. I know about creating a dynamic feature class in geocoding and just editing the addresses manually but I was given instruction to use FME to create a workflow that takes the excel files and automatically adds them to a map. I have very basic knowledge of FME and how it works.    If anyone has any ideas or insight on where I could go from here they would all be greatly appreciated.    Thanks,

Adding Text along each vertex of linestring

I would like to know if there is any option in FME to add text(height of the each vertex) along a linestring. The text should fall parallel to the line string.

Schema/Attribute Validation

Hi everyone :)  I have (another!) newbie question. I'm attempting to set up a workbench whose purpose is to do attribute validation/checking between a shapefile and a feature class in an ESRI SDE geodatabase.  What I need to do is compare attribute existence and some key properties (attribute name/alias/data-type/precision/length etc) between the two datasets. If the attributes/properties are the same, then proceed with some further processing of the shapefile, but if they are different to end processing and generate a basic log-like tabular/text based output detailing the differences.  Is there a particular methodology that can easily acheive this? So far I'm struggling to understand the best way to set up a flow of transformers that collects and examines attribute properties of feature type(s) (as opposed to attribute values on a per feature basis).  Any ideas/suggestions appreciated :)

setting extension to nothing?

Hi,  In FME 2011 I used to be able to write to a csv file with no extension (eg. "filename"). In FME 2013 it seems that I cannot do that. If I do not set an extension it defaults to .csv so the output file is "filename.csv". Is there any way to write to a file with no extension in 2013? Thank you.  Paul

Unconnected nodes and double lines in polygons

Hi, I am converting ESRI shape files into the Norwegian national spatial data format, SOSI. SOSI is very strict on overlapping geometry, double or unconnected nodes and double lines in polygon features.  I am new to FME, so I need a little help in figuring out how to collapse double vertices, how to remove "blind" nodes (nodes that are unconnected) and remove double line features in polygons.  Any suggestions?  Chris

CITYgml:'CityGML Reader: The number of UV Texture coordinates did not match the coordinates of the geometry

Hello everybody, I'm a noncertiefied FME-Greenhorn.  I will try to transfer CITYgml- Data into Microstation V8 and both, the internal MS- FME- Port and FME as Standalone, will give the Errorcode: 'CityGML Reader: The number of UV Texture coordinates did not match the coordinates of the geometry. Received '0' texture coordinates but the geometry has '4' points.'. There is some Geometry, which apperas in Microstation as single Lines (no shapes!) - but the Textures are not transfered (or not displayed because of the Elementtype?). The same Error will apear by transfer to dxf, kml, LANDxml or SetchUp- Format - without the Geometrydata as Result. So maybe the Reader will not accept the Data? On the other hand, i'm easily able to watch the Data inside Terrainview of Terratec!  Any Ideas? Best Regards tom

Command line scripting and GDB feature classes

Hi all, I'm writing a script that should run workbench once for each feature class in a File Geodatabase.  For testing purposes I created a list of feature classes beforehand that I am passing to a subprocess call using python.  I'm basically invoking the windows command prompt to run workbench once for each feature class in my list.  In my workbench I've linked the Feature Types to Read to a user parameter which I pass the Feature Class name to in the subprocces call.  I'm getting a long, weird error message back each time the process is run & the workbench is failing each time.  When testing in workbench & giving the user parameter a Feature Class name everything is  kosher.  Any suggestions from the community?  Thanks!

Unstable Schema Mapper

Hi,    I've used Schema Mapper on a dwg-reader. In the schema mapper i did the simpliest feature mapping. Source to destination feature. It seems like it's very random if it works or not, why is this?    Thank you.

Schema Mapper

Hi,  using the Schema Mapper I would like to add new attributes.  I do have more than one feature in the data set, and would like these to get different new attributes. Say that my feature Lake gets the attribute Depth, and my feature Building gets the attribute Purpose. But Lake dont want to have Purpose as an attribute etc.  I add the attributes in my csv-file. And in the Schema Mapper I use "add new attribute" and choose the columns in which  the name and values are represented. I've only added Purpose on the line where Building is.  Why does my Lake has the attribute Purpose in the end?  Thank you.

GRID to DEM with NoData

I have an Esri Raster that is supposed to be an elevation model, but I can't persuade FME to recognize it has Z values with NoData. The water features are nodata and it seems that I cannot get rid of the extremely low values so that it draws as a nice surface. The only DEM example I can find uses a CDED format which is a bit obscure - even if it is from the Home of FME!

Problem with SpatialFilter using intersects

I have a multiple base area that I am trying to use to add attributes to my parcel set.  I am using the intersects selector and it works for most of it, but I keep getting additional parcels selected that do not intersect the base.  Is there a way to get the program to not select these extraneous parcels?

Writing to AutoCAD line weight attribute

I am using Workbench 2012, SP3.    I am trying to create a tool, that writes to an AutoCAD DWG file.    I have exposed several formatting attributes and can write to them successfully (autocad_color for instance). However, when I set the value for autocad_lineweight, it is largely ignored.    If I set the value to say 6, 25 or even 199 it is not populated on the output. However, if I set the value to 200, then it is populated. Is there are a set of allowable values?    From the fme definition of this attribute it says that the value is in hundredths of a millimetre.    Regards,    Mark

Splitting large text files

Hi, I am a new FME user and am hoping you can help me. I have river flow data from several gauging stations contained within one text file. I need to split the data based on gauging station - so that the data from each station is contained in its own Access db table. The station number is contained in header information at the start of each chunk of data, but is not within each data row. So I need a transformer to write the data until it finds the next station number, and then start writing to a new destination file and so on until the end of the file. What transformer should I use? Thanks

SchemaMapper on FMEServer2012

Annoying issue. Using a local *.CSV file as the input for SchemaMapper. When moving this to FMEServer.    I would be happy to do one of the following:  1. Upload this file and keep it the same for all runs of the workspace (does not work as the "Dynamic path" is different from when the SchemaMapper is run on FME Desktop and it seems this path is hardcoded somewhere)  2. NOT upload the file, but copy the file locally on the server on the same path  'D:\\apps\\FMEServer\\Server\\repository\\xxx\\xxx_schemamapping.csv\\' 2013-04-28 23:53:47|   1.9|  0.0|INFORM|CSV Reader: Done reading CSV files in directory `D:\\apps\\FMEServer\\Server\\repository\\xxx\\xxx_schemamapping.csv\\'   Using FME2012 for the moment, however they are switching to FME2013 in some time. Not sure if it helps anything with this issue?    Also I would say that handing input paths/filenames on FMEDesktop workspaces and then uploading them to FMEServer seems to be quite a challenge.

lines to area

Hi all, I have a bunch of lines, intersecting, ... and I want to create areas for those regions that are "closed". (I placed the word closed between brackets, as you can see that the area is closed, because it is created by intersecting lines, but the area is not bounded by closed polygons, just by lines) I wanted to use the Areabuilder (btw, the situation looks exactly the same as in the "help" of the Areabuilder), only thing is that my lines are not topologically connected, but just random lines that are intersecting. little additional problem is that my data is 3D (with Z-component)... I already managed to split the lines on the intersection points (with the intersector, after coordinate swapping, to let the intersector work on 3D data) but I still don't manage to create the areas. I have this feeling that I first need to create a closed polyline or so? no idea how! hopefully someone can help me out!  with kind regards, Ine De Cubber
