Transformers

 Dear FME community.I got xml data with geographic location,  I tried to use coordinateExtractor but I could not get x and y coordinates and I could not also visualize the polygon using FME inspector. How do  Extract the X and y attribute? Any idea would be apricated and thank you in advance.  

Hi There,i have workspace and trim transformer - Post/processe/Radarsat2/20240313 for example, it should leave 20240313 name of the file, but it remove 2 at the begining, 0240313 remains as file name. How to keep that “2” at the beginning? 

I am attempting to get the value of a date field from a subset of data tables in an Enterprise geodatabase.  I have narrowed down the list of tables with the required attribute from the SDE_column_registry and I only want to query those data tables for the value of that date field.I have attached two screenshots showing the inner join and rejected output and part of the translation.log.  Perhaps I am formulating my query incorrectly. I am only concerned with getting the value of the date field from 133 data tables that have the attribute.Please help.SheilaCounty of Kern, CA

Hello,I have two polygon datasets: folios and townlands(see image below). For the most part, the folios(grey outline) are nested neatly within the townlands dataset(red outline) so the outer folio boundaries are shared with the townlands’ boundaries. I would like to extract the areas where these two datasets’ polygon boundaries cross...i.e. where they are not nested neatly. Most of these will be slivers.  SpatialRelator(and Tester) helps to extract the offending folios using the Spatial Predicates Test: "Requestor OGC-Overlaps Supplier" however the output is the entire folio polygons(not overlapping area) as SpatialRelator does not edit the input dataset. I am unsure as to what to do next, I would like to automate this process in FME Server if possible so having one workflow would be useful. 

I’m doing a project where I have to generate and compare multiple DTM TIN-models. In regards to this, I wonder: Is there a difference between TINGenerator and Surfacemodeller in regards to how the triangulation algorithms work?How does the triangulation algorithm(s) work, in more depth than that it is delaunay triangulation?​​​​​​​Are there any other transformers/methods to produce TINs in FME?

I would like to identify snapping errors of newly captured layers which is snapped to old layers only.I do not want to find any old layer's errors as it is not my scope of work.Please suggest the best transformer. RegardsArun

Hello all,When trying to write my data as a geopackage I get the following warnings (see attached).In the reader I have to specify what geometry type I want to use but I can only select one, which results in some features being excluded.I have read a thing about the dynamic writer but that one is giving me errors.Using the GeometryFilter the only type I get is ‘area’ so it doesn't seem to make a distinction between those.Is there a way to write these different geometry types in one Geopackage layer? I am using version 2020.0 

Hi,Have a workbench that I have been using for a while in previous version (2023).This is to convert data with attachments from ArcGIS online to a FGDB.I use a ListExploder for this, I don't get an error message but also no objects.When I use the workbench again in the old version, everything works fine again.The problem occurs when a space is used in the naming of the layer and/or feature class. Does anyone know about this problem? Any solution would be helpful. Gerard

Hello everyone,I am converting several SDE geod to respective CAD files. All CADs need to be written in the same folder (with suffix of the currentdate). I  created this folder in Python Caller. How can I now route CADs to this folder?

I'm converting an obj file to local coordinates, glb.Running one obj file in FME will take you to the desired local coordinates.But when I run thousands of obj files in FME, they don't move to local coordinates (0,0,0).I want to move thousands of obj files all to (0,0,0) at once.For reference, I activated move to local coordinate. 

​Hello guys, Damjan here,i have problems with my FME process so i need your help.  Task:I have 1 dwg file with 6 polylines (3 pairs), each pair must go to PROCES (process makes a polyline between 1 pair, that's fine all works), then process must save this polyline in dwg and go to start for next pair.Shema: FME:DWG GRT: Each polyline has an attribute id which represent pairs (for example: 2 polylines (grt_dt & grt_lt) have the same id which means they are 1 pair), the second attribute is Description (DET_OPIS): grt_dt = right polyline, grt_lt = left polyline.  I add Cr

Hello,I need to write the xlink:type in an AIXM5 file (see below)  But when I look at the User Attributes of the feature type AirspaceTimeSlice (AIXM5 writer), I can only see 3 parameters of the xlink which can be set: href, role and title.  Anybody knows how to write the xlink:type with the AIXM5 writer ?ThanksAndré

I want to compare different methods of generating TIN-models. To assess the quality of each model, I want to calculate the vertical distance between each point in the input point cloud and the generated TIN in order to later calculate for example the RMSE. Any tips on an approach?

I am using FTPCaller. If I add the Emailer to the rejected port will it send me an email if the output gets kicked to the rejected port? I would have the Emailer already configured to send me an email. I want to double check with the Community since my workbench will stop running if the FTPCaller output is rejected. Here is a screenshot of a mock up workspace (note I have not set up the transformer parameters yet hence you see the red gear icons.) Not shown below, I know it will send me an email if the FTPCaller output is sent to Output.  

I want to write lines into an existing PostGIS table, which has default values for most of the columns. With FME PostGIS Writer, when executing the process, I have errors returning (in french):Bulk copy failed on table 'XXX' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'ERREUR:  une valeur NULL viole la contrainte NOT NULL de la colonne « YYY» dans la relation « XXX » I would like to use the Postgres default values for these NOT NULL columns, but I cannot find the way to do it.I use FME Form 2023.2

I'm trying to read a (big?) ecw file (EPSG 28992, 173 Mb) using FME 2020.1.0.1.This is very slow (> 10 minutes), QGIS displays the same file in a matter of seconds. I'm wondering if I'm missing some reader parameters that might speed up the process. I do need best resolution though...

Dear all, I’m fairly new to FME but currently I’m quite impressed by the software :). My question is rather simple: is there an equivalent in FME of the Tabulate Areas function of ArcGIS Pro: Tabulate Area (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | DocumentationI have two datasets:The cadastral parcels of Wallonia in polygon format ; A land cover classification (TIFF raster) with 20+ classes.I would like to calculate for each polygonal entity the proportion of land cover classes.The result should look like this:ID | LC1 | LC2 | LC3 | … | LC201 | 10% | 0 | 0 |25 | … | 02 | …3 | … Many thanks in advance for your feedback :)

When I simply add the PDF reader and convert to the TIFF writer, alle Images are exported separately into rows, meaning that for each individual PDF-File I get 100+ TIFFs. How can convert PDF to TIFF without this happening?

Hi ,Is there any way to use an ifc file containing ifc objects, extract a specific object , then put it in precise locations in another ifc file that I am creating in the workflow?for exemple if I am interested in using this ifcDoor object that is inside a file1.ifc file : and the positions where i want to put this ifcDoor are where the 2d doors (the red lines) of my input file are located (my input is a dwg file containg 2D doors):All I can do now is just extrude those 2d doors , add ifc attributes to them , and them write them to ifcDoor writer .  but they don't even look like doors :

I am getting features in through a WFS and pump the resulting XML structures through an XMLFlattener.The Elements to Match are ‘grouped’ by an attribute value and thereby dynamic.What I cannot make dynamic are the Attributes to Expose. I can either write them myself, or import them, but how can I get e.g. a list to work there, or the value of an attribute?Best thing would be the option of a conditional value… 😉

I need to upload new csv file each day with there is date on file each day

xcopy "$(TEMP_FOLDER)\$(FME_JOB_ID)\Temp"  "$(TEMP_FOLDER)\$(FME_JOB_ID)\Results" /I /E /Y /TFrom the command line I use xcopy /I /E /Y /T and if the directory does not exist it creates it but within a SystemCaller it does not work and does not give an error message.I need Help 

Is there a way to check if a directory exists?I create a directory B using the mkdir command within one SystemCaller and in another SystemCaller it copies file from directory A to B and it works.But the process must copy copy new files that are created in directory A and the mkdir gives an error because the directory already exists.

Since eternity and up to FME 2022 we placed our DLLs for self implemented transformers in FME_HOME directory.In FME 2024 it seems they need to be placed in FME_HOME\plugins directory ?!Since when is this requirement in effect ?Is there a way to influence where transformer DLLs are searched by FME ?

I’m using FME Workbench 2023.1.  I have an excel file with a Payment Type attribute field.  There are 4 types:Cash Check Credit Card Money OrderNot all payment types will be present in the excel file each time this is run, but I need it to still have an output for that payment type.  I’m fairly new to FME and used an Attribute Filter transformer to filter for each Payment Type, but when there are no rows in my excel file with a particular Payment Type, I will not get any kind of output. See below image for example of one of the areas in my script where I use this filter.  I think I need to create a domain of values for the the Payment Type field, before this is run and maybe get a count?  In the end what I need is if there are no payments of that type in the Payment Type field, then when I sum the payment amounts for each Payment Type, that particular Payment Type would need to be given an output sum of, 0.  If you look in my below
