Transformers

Hello, I’ve run into a strange issue. I am accessing a polygon feature class via a SDE connection. Whenever I add the reader it does not appear on the workbench, it does appear in the navigator panel, but not on the actual main workbench menu, where the workbench is visually developed.item appears in navigator panel, but no where else. I can run other readers from other .sde connections but there is something wrong with this one. I can access/read the data via the same SDE connection via ArcPro. 

Hi, I would like to share a solution to an issue I had, just to hear what you think about it. The challenge is: to create hyperlinks in a Word document.FME allows you, with the use of MSWordStyler transformers, to create a Word document in a very versatile and easy manner. These transformers, however, do not allow you to insert hyperlinks into the doc.Please see the attached zip file hyperlinks-to-word-python-docx.zip for a workflow where the document is created using MSWordStylers, followed by some post-processing with a PythonCaller to insert the hyperlinks: POIs with a link to Google Maps, in this case.No, I did not write all of the Python script myself, hell, no! I used some existing bits and pieces and tweaked them a little bit to get the job done.The add_hyperlink function was found on github and the docx_find_replace_text one on stackoverflow and I only modified them slightly to work together to replace my search text, the POI name, with a clickable hyperlink. More than 150 line

Recently I have been playing/fooling/struggling around with the creation and modification of Word documents using a combination of MSWordStylers and the Python docx library, called from a PythonCaller. A very instructive journey :-)To make sure I don't forget immediately everything I've learned, I have decided to summarize my findings in a template. And because a lot of input has come from this community I will share the results here. Please see the zip file attached: images-to-table-python-docx.zipIt starts by reading Parcel information from a database (gpkg) and it creates a summary table in a word document, including a little image with the parcel plotted on an aerial image.Inspiration has been taken from these to discussions:How to pull a raster from an ESRI basemap to use within FME workbench, especially the answer given by @nielsgerrits​  MSWordStyler how to include picture in table? with the Python example by @ebygomm​ With some slight modifications I have integrated these two e

Hello... I’m new here, and I have a basic question. I’m trying to update a hosted feature layer in AGOL, but I have a 400 error about HTML. I check my attribute table, and I have one attribute with notes (string), and the character that I have a problem with is <, but I cannot change it because I need the information. So, I cannot use the text encoder or change the character. Can anyone give me an idea of what I can do?

Hello everybody.I'm stuck I think over a trifle.I have a dataset with dates like "1970".I want to create a column allowing me to have date classes in it (for example [1970-1980[ ).It seems to me that I need to go through a testfilter and a creatorattribute but what I do inside doesn't work.Could someone give me a hand on the operation so that I understand how it works?Thanking you very much in advance

I have it reading some JSON files and some go through and others dont with an error of "INVALID_FILE_INACCESSIBLE". The file sizes range from 500Mb to 8Gb in size.

hello There we  number of hexagon feature and we want to sample them , but the sampled features should not have any spatial relation to other one , in other terms should not touch the other sampled hexagon Thanks  

Hi there,Relatively new to FME and very new to JSON and API’s. I’m working with the Smartsheet API and I’m stuck on how to the get the data set up properly, I’ve gone down many of the JSON Transformer rabbit holes and I can’t find a similar example to how this data is set up. When I use the JSON Fragmenter, I get columns and rows returned as separate arrays:  The columns are set up like this: And the rows/cells:I’ve gotten as far as exposing the attributes for each array separately, but I don’t know how to get cells back to their associated rows/columns. And I’m sure there’s a better way than I’m doing it :)

I’m using a HTTPcaller connect to a swagger API that ONLY receives raw JSON data in the Upload Body or uploading a file (one block of JSON data per file). I can’t pass through any parameters from a attributemanager. When I try to pass through a parameter in the Upload body of the HTTPcaller, I get this error message:Attribute(string: UTF-8)          : `_response_body' has value `{"errors":[{"code":400,"message":"A non-empty request body is required.","title":""},{"code":400,"message":"The dto field is required.","title":"dto"}]}'When I try to pass through {“active”: true, “firstName”: “@Value(firstName)”}, I get this error: Attribute(string: UTF-8)          : `_response_body' has value `{"errors":[{"code":400,"message":"The dto field is required.","title":"dto"},{"code":400,"message":"',' is an invalid start of a value.

I have a set of line data that I wish to buffer for a client.The requirements of their GIS system are such that the shapes must not be 2D reentrant, lack donut holes, and be OGC Simple + OGC 1.2 compliant.I buffered the lines to .0003 ground units (coordinate system is in degrees)Input feature qty is 9287.The validator only passes 8175 of them.Every failure reported from the listConcatenator is “Fails OGC Compliant,Fails OGC Simple”.Is there something that I’m doing wrong?

Hi there :), I’ve been using RasterConvolver in FME Form 2023.0.1 to calculate the standard deviation with a round kernel, so some weights were equal to 0. The results were always incorrect, so to understand what’s happening I simplified the problem and used a raster with all values = 1 and one weight in kernel (3x3) = 0.From what I understand, the formulas used in RasterConvolver for calculating the weighted mean and weighted SD are a bit off. Here is what I deducted:The weighted mean is divided by a number of values (kernel cells) instead of by the sum of them. The weighted SD: in the sum equation the weight is multiplied by a cell value instead of by a square of the difference between a cell value and a weighted mean AND the sum equation is divided by a number of values instead of a sum of weights.This may seem pretty convoluted (pun intended :)), so I have attached a pdf with a visual explanation. I additionally attach a fmwt file with two examples of RasterConvolver misscalculatio

Hi everyone ,I have dynamic doors in my dwg AutoCAD file :If I click on the small arrow the door changes direction , and the big arrow changes the size of the door I want to read on fme the default position and size of the door , just like a normal static door. But here is how the DWG Reader reads it :   Any Insight is much appreciated !-Yagami

I’m using the JSON reader to read in a folder of JSON files. The reader is working how I want it to, however I would like to get the original file path/name as an attribute on each feature.  Is there an easy way to do this? I’m hoping that I am missing something silly.   

Hi All, I’m working on a workflow to collect tree data in the field using Survey123 & Field Maps. The tree surveyors complain about having to manually change the Tree IDs every time they come back from the field. I was thinking that FME could help with this matter by reading the Feature Hosted layers (point, lines and polygons) and use the counter to re-numbering everything.I have the workflow pretty much ready but I want it to achive the following:Read and Overwrite the same Feature Hosted layers by using Feature Holder? I want to avoid creating a new layer with the new IDs. is that achievable?  I only want to overwrite one field (Tree ID) then the rest of the fields stay the same. I was thinking only exposing the Tree ID attribute in the reader?

Dear FME community,I have a featureklass of lines. I want to find the start and end point of the lines. I used the Snipper transformers, setup as the screen shot below. '0' is the first vertex, '-1' is the ending vertex but the start and  end points which I created , don not lie along the line. I also used coordintateExtractor,, it gave me the same result. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong.I would appreciate any help to solve this problem.

Greetings,I’m writing FME workspace that should be able to scan a list of IP Addresses for modems. The result will have reachable:yes/No attribute to determine the IP address is reachable or not.First thing to think of is using python caller to invoke the ping tool of OS. I did it that way and it’s working. However, the client policy demands workflows that are only built-in. No custom coding, and I want to make sure that there is no built-in transformer that may do the task?Is there a built-in transformer that can check if a networked IP Address is reachable or not. Is there one that can be tweaked to do so ?Thank you-Moataz.

I have a complex workflow using multiple Workspaces. Each reads and/or writes temporal operational data to CSV’s.My question is, when do you use a Reader/Writer as opposed to a FeatureReader/FeatureWriter?I’ve settled on using FeatureReaders/FeatureWriters though I’m not sure if make much difference.I understand the Feature* transformers are geared towards mid-workflow use where you have input and output.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I use parallel (//) processing in other workspaces successfully but this is the first time with a Clipper. The tips offered in article: FME Parallel Processing: Tips and tricks for generating groups | Safe Software do not seem to apply, or at least I think they don’t. I am trying to clip an OBJ of  ~12720000 triangles with ~93K polygons of diiferent sizes. The OBJ has no attributes, just geometry. 1st try: link the same modcount (4 groups) to both Candidate and Clipper inputs of custom xformer containing only a Clipper.  The data passess through it without any clipping. The Clipper inside is set as “multiple clippers”; Clippers do not arrive first; Reject only parts, merge-clipper, and the rest is set with defaults.2nd try: cloning the OBJ as explained in article but it slow and eventually crashs as it runs out of memory. I sort of expected it but tried it anyway. I don’t see how I can use the tiling method here.  Am I missing anything else? or maybe there is  an update on setting

I have designed a dynamic workspace to have a bulk transformation on all shape files within a nested folder structure. I have added the original folder location in the reader with checking tick mark for subfolder. Then I have used batch deployment and checked the 'recreate folder structure'. However, the destination files were not written in the similar folder structure as in the original structure.  See how the subfolders within original Asset folder (image 1) were written outside the destination asset folder (second image). Can anyone tell me what was the likely source of this?

When reviewing an old workspace in FME Form 2023.2, I noticed that if I opened a Feature Reader or Feature Writer that previously had an SDE connection file path referenced in the connection parameters that the parameter was now blank. If no changes are made, the workspace runs to completion as normal. No errors are thrown and no transformers are marked as “incomplete” in the navigator pane. This tells me that those pathways are stored somewhere. This does not appear to be an issue with other data types like csv, xls, or file geodatabases. These file types used in a feature reader all have their connection file parameter populated when opened in 2023.2. This does not appear to be an issue if a Reader or Writer is used rather than Feature Reader or Feature Writer transformers. A Reader or Writer configured to work in a previous version of FME using an SDE connection file path is populated when opened in 2023.2.How I would expect to see the connection parameters when settings for the tra

HelloI have a simple question, but I’ve found now answer.Is it possible to write a FBX file with transparency, transparent objects?Regards, Hartmut

Hello ,i have used network topology calculator then aggregator (group by network id ) .i have found that there are some unwanted connecting lines that has same network id .I want to check the reason ?i am wondering if there is a method to find the connecting points that occur to provide each line the same network id as before ?so I  can check them quickly .i am looking for a quick method to find unwanted lines that has the same network id .thanks for helpFme 2021

Hi, I have a geopackage with 5 million polygons, some of which are duplicated, but with geometry that isn't exactly the same. In the image below the dark red’s polygones means there duplicates.I trying with transfomer matcher  with this set It works but not all polygones duplicates are deleted. I got something like this I know that at some point some polygons won't be able to be deleted because the geometry is too different.Maybe in can set the tolerance in 4 or more, but i thinkAny idea if it can be done?Thanks

Hi,I tried to find letter after period and capitalize it using StringReplacer but it did not work. Is it possible to accomplish such a thing with the StringReplacer? For example: Condition: good. ensure continuous maintenance. The result should be like this: Condition: good. Ensure continuous maintenance. Text to Replace: (^[a]|\. [a-z])Replacement txt: .\U$1 also \U\1 won’t work. ThanksLeida
