Transformers

Dear community,I am currently working on FME Workbench 2025.0. My project take into entry areas in 3D that represent buildings roofs. It then spreads the data into two datasets: roofs and building using the latest ground footprint. In order to do that, I am using the 'Dissolver' Transformer with the Group Processing option on. My issue is that some of the edges inside the building are remaining because they do no fit on the Z axis (see screenshots below). Dissolver operation: purple edges are classified as ‘Remanents’ after the operation, red one remain.Result of Dissolver : on a 2D perspective, internal edges are remaining.For better context: the result of the Dissolver from another perspective in 3D.I tried to flatten the surfaces before proceeding to disolving the objects (these objects corresponding to 'Building' will be flattened at some point of the workbench anyway), but still the same edges are remaining. Thank you for your help.

Hi all, I’m fairly new to FME learning a lot but still get stuck at the odd point.II’m using attribute manager to set 2 attribute values to later be used in httpcaller. here I am setting the values and trying to use the values in the below url.  this is going through to the url without the actual value. I have tried both the ${myvalue} and @value() methods but both simply put what i’ve written below into the actual url but not actually the values.  I used the logger to view the above values and they are definitely showing as 100 and 1 but I can’t get them to show up in the below url. Can anyone direct me to what I’m doing wrong here?   

Hi I am using projectwise wgs connector to upload a file into pw. I was wondering if their a way to uprev the version metadata attribute within pw. When the file is uploaded to pw.

I wanted to make all my attribute to camelCase, currently they are separated by underscore.I wanted to change my attribute name to camelCase, so using regular expression in BulkAttributeRenamer transformer to find text following underscore using regular expression replace: _([a-z])  However, i am not sure what String parameter i have to put to make the selected character Capital letter. I have tried \U\1 and also few other but its not working. Basically wanting to find String parameter value? 

Hi, I read xlsx files and want to write the name of the file in to an attribute. The writer I use is a feature writer to use the result in ARCGIS online. Thank you! 

I’m using the Gemini Connector (Transformer) in FME and facing an issue with initiator (upstream) attributes.My requirement is:The attributes coming into the Gemini Connector (initiator attributes) Need to be merged with the Gemini response/output, so that the final feature contains both the original attributes and the Gemini result Current behavior: The Gemini Connector output only contains response-related attributes Initiator attributes are not carried through or merged automatically Question: Is there a supported way to merge or carry initiator attributes along with the Gemini response? Is this a limitation of the Gemini Connector transformer? What is the recommended pattern (FeatureMerger, Joiner, correlation ID, etc.) to achieve this? Any guidance, best practices, or examples would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hican someone advise if there is a replacement for the PhotoCoordinateExtractor transformer?I’ve not used FME for about 15 months, but now have a new laptop with FME Form installed (rather than the old FME Desktop previously)I had a workspace set-up to load and extract exif imformation from images, then generate a point table, but when i run this in FME Form the PhotoCoordinateExtractor is rejected.I’ve looked in the transformers but can’t identify one that replicates what the PhotoCoordinateExtractor didThanks    

I recently tried to update an older workspace with a TestFilter that is used to branch data out using basic logic. After the update, the workspace failed in an odd fashion and after a bit of troubleshooting it turned out that one of the tested attributes, “fme_feature_type” in this case, was getting changed to nulls for many, but not all of the resulting rows. The change was from TestFilter Version 2 to Version 3. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I’m running FME Form Build 25815.

Hi all, I would like to trim the first 7 characters from all the columns in my dataset. I think this can be accomplished with the BulkAttributeRenamer. But I'm struggling with the String Parameter. Any ideas?

Hi there,I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but I am trying to use the new ESRI ArcGIS Feature Service connection to read a public layer from another organisations AGOL account. I have it working using Standalone Server as the source type. I can’t seem to get it working using the ArcGIS Online source type as I don’t have a login to their AGOL and I don’t need one as it’s public data. I can only login to our own AGOL account.Anyway I have this working - it’s reading the data but I am now coming across the whole reading dates as Epoc time again and my DateTImeConverter is spitting the dummy.I have updated the reader to v3.20.1 and I have checked out the article below:Esri ArcGIS Feature Service - Reads Dates as Epoch Milliseconds | CommunityIt is showing that you need to change the Date format in the parameters to FME Default however it seems this option only shows when you use ArcGIS Online as the source type. I am not getting that option when using Standalone Server.Is there an

Hi.This is either a no-brainer that I haven’t figured out, or not doable, I think. But it’s a simple task.I need to count the items in a JSON array, but I need to do it in a looping custom transformer, so it needs to be non-blocking.In a custom transformer, I use a HttpCaller to get a JSON response, which includes an array of items. I may have to issue more http calls within the custom transformer, so it contains a loop back to its input.JSONFragmenter can easily find the array items, but as features, not in a list format, so I need to use a blocking transformer like Aggregator to count them. This is no-go.So either I need to extract the JSON array items into a list, and use ListElementCounter to find the length, or count the JSON array items in a different non-blocking way.Does anyone have a solution for either of these tasks ?Cheers.

Apologies if this has already been asked - seems like it should already have been reported.FME Form 2025.0.1FeatureWriter Version 0Writing to Esri Geodatabase on MSSQL Server 2019When using either Create if Needed, or Drop and Create table handling, the geodatabase_sde writer appears to ignore the table qualifier set on the feature type. The table gets successfully created, visible in SSMS - but under the default user database schema eg: domain\john.smith.FeatureClass1 However the flow then fails because at some stage it does take into account the table qualifier and is looking for a table called sde.FeatureClass1An error occurred while attempting to create the table 'sde.FeatureClass1'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220655'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {DBMS table not found [{dbname}.sde.FeatureClass1]}The user has appropriate permissions on the sde schema(Note: It is an Esri requirement that the users default database schema name matches the username, so the de

In the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service I can reference a Feature Service in the parameters with the service name and an ide.g.But in the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service it’s not possible without a group? Is this correct?Is there some secret syntax i’m missing?

Hello all,I want to build a Tester that detects if an attribute value has a left-bracket in the stringFor example;ASCOT (TOOWOOMBA REGIONAL)Would be detected, because it has brackets surrounding TOOWOOMBA REGIONALI then want to extract just ASCOT and throw away that part of the string in brackets 

hi everyone! some of my line features (ex. pipes) have text features floating above (top left) of the line, describing what type of pipe it is. I want to add that text as an attribute field to that feature. but also not all of the lines have one and I want it to only match if it's describing that feature (not grabbing a random text field nearby). This is my workflow so far, with some brief descriptions. I'll also note that everytime I've tried to use neighborfinder, the autocad_text_string AND fme_text_string values of certain lines show numbers (ex. 356.77, 623.44) instead of the descriptive text it should have shown. im guessing those are possible distance values it’s grabbing….I've been trying this for hours and would appreciate any help given. thanks in advance! my workflow is attached below.

Hi All,I am working on an automation process to generate cutlines for use in a map series. These cutlines must have a consistent length and be positioned within the overlapping areas of the map sheets. In addition, the cutlines need to follow the orientation of the main alignment to support accurate mapping production. Below is an example illustrating the challenge: I have tried several workarounds, but I have not been able to get it to work.Any ideas?Thanks :)

So im reading the dwg file to fme, than just want to put it out to elswhere, while converting the elements to an autocad block. The problem is that no matter how i parameter the feature writer, it messes up the output dwg file. So the elements need to look like this:But after writing out to the new dwg they look like this mess:I also put the feature writer parameters here:I tried to aggregate the features, in that case this problem doesn't occur, but than i loose all the colors and other attributes, which is not an option.

Hello all,I would like to automatically record different Output Port names ​​into one new attribute. So in the newly generated output file there is al column with the name of the Output Port and a column with the value from the TestFilter.Desired outcomeI know it is possible to do it by hand, place a AttributeCreater behind every port and fill in the Output Port name. But I have a large number of TestFilters, and to avoid errors and keep things organized, I would like to do it automatically with one AttributeCreator/AttributeManager.If the AttributeCreator/AttributeManager is not the correct transformer, or I need two other transformers that do the job, that would already make a big difference to me.  A snipped of my workbenchI have asked AI for answers, but there was none that worked. AI referenced mentioned the following options: fme_feature_type and @portname(), which for me resulted in a column containing the text "fme_feature_type" or in the second case "@portname()", but not the

I was busy creating a Custom Transformer and wanted to link a Published Parameter to the Advanced Parameter 'Maximum number of iterations’.  However, the dropdown option shown below did not pop up. This screenshot is showing a workbench derived from this tutorial:Looping with Blocking Transformers – FME Support Center Any clues?

Hello, I use the TemplateToDocumentBuilder. All numbers are formatted equally. I would like to format as current. 4233,78 --> 4.233,78 €How can I do this?

Hoping someone could provide me with a comlplete example of how to use fmeobjects.FMEFactoryPipeline() in a PythonCaller Specifically I would like to take points as in input and use the SurfaceModelFactory with the undocumented parameter MAXIMUM_EDGE_CALC_LENGTH to hopefully produce a mesh with trimmed edges.   

I am using feature reader to connect to an ArcGIS Online feature service.The feature service has multiple layers in there. I want to use a where clause against 1 layer only to filter the results from that table, but not apply the where clause to the other tables. 

In the column 'knoopnr', each feature consists of a fixed ID (in this example 'HT005500') and a variable ID (B1, B2, BL1, ...). The fixed ID is therefore identical for every row within a project, but it differs from project to project. In another project, for example, the fixed ID could be 'KWL735' for every row. Is it possible to identify the fixed ID and retain only the variable ID?
