Transformers

I want to turn my vector layer into a raster layer and then back into a vector layer to simplify it. When I used NumericRasterizer, I grouped my layer by category, but when I convert it back to a vector layer, it's not working. When I tried to rasterize it without grouping it, it worked fine, but I lost the attribute I was interested in.

UPDATE: Managed to figure out what went wrong in my comment below the main post (TLDR: Used the wrong transformer and field value from my dataset) Hi, so I'm trying to convert my annotation layer in my GDB files along side the point, polygon and line layers into DWG. In my screenshot of my ArcGIS Pro instance, you can see the various labels above my polygons.But it looks like only 2 of them passed through to DWG when converted through Workbench.In my current worksp

I have a point array of addresses, and a line geometry layer of streets, and I need to be able to get the ID of the nearest line to the point that also has a couple matching attributes. What are the best options to consider?

Under path parameters for the reader it no longer has "retrieve file properties" which means I can't access the create date of files breaking one my workbenches. I tried using the filepropertyextractor transformer but its just too slow for the amount of files I need to read. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi everybody! I have tried to remove collinear points without sucess. For example, a square(polygon) but between two vertex I have one or more collinear point's. So how to remove this???

Hello,it is first time ,I use zigzag transformer but I got error .python caller failed to process feature .how could I fix it ?i have used spike remover for the same input lines data and it works great without problem .which transformer is better (spike or zigzag) ?which angle that should I use from your experience ?thanks in advance FME 2021

I have a bunch of points that fall on or near a linear features (routes/roads). Is there a way to use the Locate Features Along Route tool in FME to identify which route those points fall on?

Hello ,i would like to know ,what is the best tolerance value that use in anchored snapper (segment type ) to avoid any problems i have used 0.02 , automatic .it works well for some lines but it make problems for some lines when they are so close or cross eachother .The segment type of anchored snapper make lines to be intersected instead of cross lines . which value that people has experience with segment type always use without any problems ? is there any alternative for anchored snapper segment type that do the same purpose fme 2021 

I have string attributes which contain repetitions of the type ";;;". How to get rid of these, however numerous the ";" are. I also want to nullify the attribute if it ends up being ";" but that can be done with a trimmer afterwards. I also would like to delete other repetitions.Examples"31;31;44" should become "31;44""*3*;*3*;*4*" or "*3*;*4*;*3*" should become "*3*;*4*" "#TH#;#BAT#;#TH#;#BAT#" should become "#TH#;#BAT#"

Hi, I hope someone can help:I have an XML URL.The URL is updated from my reader with different variables. I go through the AttributeManager to stitch together the different URL's I need to go through.I input that result into the FeatureReader When I go the the FeatureReaders parameters and choose elements to match, I see this:If I take the URL the FeatureReader receives as an input and paste it into a browser, it worksIf I take the working URL and hardcode the value directly into the AttributeManager, without any variables, the FeatureReader gives me the same errorIf I paste the working URL directly into the dataset within the feature reader I get access to the parameters and can set the Elements to Match, but that won't make it updateable from the features coming in.To me it s

Hello, I have a response from one of the APIs I'm using that is formatted as the following example:{ "measurements": { "timestamps": [ 1504377563, 1504378166, 1504378372 ], "waterGround_mm": [ -5032, -5030, -5031 ], "waterNAP_mm": [ -7532, -7530, -7531 ], "validity": [ null, null, 1 ] }}Now, I can flatten this using FME to the following lists:_timestamps{0}: 1504377563_timestamps{1}: 1504378166_timestamps{2}: 1504378372_waterGround_mm{0}: -5032_waterGround_mm{1}: -5030_waterGround_mm{2}: -5031_waterNAP_mm{0}: -7532_waterNAP_mm{1}: -7530_waterNAP_mm{2}: -7531_validity{0}: <null>_validity{1}: <null>_validity{2}: 1Now my idea would be to rename these lists somehow to _list{}.measurement, _list{}.wat

Is it possible to set the Cache-Control header using the S3Connector? When I set Cache-Control in the Metadata it changes it to x-amz-meta-cache-control, which supposedly doesn't influence cache control on client requests. My Content-Type metadata changes are working. Is that a bug or expected behaviour? Via Cloudberry   

I current have a workspace reader that reads all of fmw files in a selected folder and use the WriterFeatureTypes to find all names writers in each fmw file being read.But when I run it, it produces errors and warning messages that aren't relevant to the writer (screenshot below).Since I only wish to know the names of the layers that the writers in each fmw file writes to, is there a way to avoid reading other information about the file such as the transformers to remove getting these errors/warnings and improve the runtime?

The data lod-2 is available for public download from the servers of the bavarian Opengeodata platform at: <https://geodaten.bayern.de/opengeodata/OpenDataDetail.html?pn=lod2> here is the direct link to a 2x2 km square that is downloaded as citygml: <https://download1.bayernwolke.de/a/lod2/citygml/704_5322.gml> I have a whole workflow for processing that data, which stopped working without any changes to the workspace. Then i realized that i can not even read the data into a brand new workspace with the same basic error message being shown:'http://repository.gdi-de.org/schemas/adv/citygml/1.0/cityGMLBaseLoD2.xsd'

Hello FME Community, I am using a 'StringConcatenator' and a 'Text Writer' to create a text file. I intend to add two separate texts as the header and footer.  Is there a way to add these texts without duplication? 

Hey everyone. I have 3 road datasets I am working with. One point, one line and one polygon. I need to join these three datasets. The point data is set so that each point is about 100m from one another. I can manage to merge all the data but now I need to create a perpendicular line through my points to create segments of my road data.

I have some data in text files that may contain both points and lines. Each line contains a code and either a sub-code or a coordinate set: 05 1          2302     6826513.392   548235.740  257.374            05 31         2302     6826704.339   548284.671  275.511            09 91 05 1          2302     6826513.392   548235.740  257.374            05 2          2302     6826518.762   548233.548  257.950            05 3          2302     6826525.326   548234.694  258.184            05 4          2302     6826532.691   548235.254  258.606            09 99The first column is the first code, '05' is always followed by a coordinate, '09' is always followed by a sub-code: '09 91' defines start of a line, '09 99' defines end of a line. So the short example above contains two points and a polyline with four vertices. Any suggestions on how I can turn this text file into two points and a polyline?I

I am trying to add the following WMS in FME Desktop:http://gis.rijeka.hr/geoserver/At/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=%20GetCapabilities&srs=EPSG:3765&format=image%2Fpng I have no problems loading this map service in ArcGIS Pro but can't seem to get it to load in FME Workbench or Data Inspector. The WMS contains two layers, I have tried adding them individually as well. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any assistance here would be great.

I want to read from a csv file and put the contents in an SQL database table. The issue is that there are duplicate lines in the CSV file, so I want to select distinct into the SQL table to remove duplicate rows. Is there a slick way to do this, or do I need to read the csv into a temporary SQL Table holding the duplicates, and re-read the data out of that table using perform sql executor transform into its final destination? .

FINAL UPDATETurns out the problem was that the hatch fill in my block is incompatible with colors for some reason. Having a standalone circle for a block was ok. What I ended up doing was typing • via Text and then saving that as a block and now my CAD looks like a proper point layer.  2nd UpdateI added my template file to my writer parameters and I am now able to generate blocks for my individual points, but I can't seem to get the colors from my attributes to stick to my blocks.UPDATE T

I'm reading a feature layer from ArcGIS Online containing about 20 layers into FME, each one with proper domains and field aliases. Unfortunately, it is not possible to: first, resolve domains without including only code output attributes, and second, there is no option to "resolve" Attribute names using aliases. I'm then trying to find a time-efficient way to solve this by using AttributeRenamer. I'm currently importing an Excel schema that contains only two columns for Input and Output Attribute and the list of attributes I want to keep from the reader output. In the Import Wizard, I deselect "Sorted" (img 1) to keep the original order of attributes and then I set the "If Input Attribute Is Missing" to "Remove Output Attribute" (img 2). 

I have a workspace that inputs property polygons and bounding boxes from an oracle database and it feeds into a WMS feature reader to obtain a raster image. It then overlays property boundary as a redline on top of the image. How do I maintain constant height and width of the image without stretching it? The WMS I am reading from does not have scale hint, nor does it have scale denominator in its implementation.

Why are inputs or parameters the "\\" is getting changed to "backslash" when using FME Form 2023.1.0.0? Seeing it happen on Workspace Runner for log file as well as database name on database joiner. How wide spread is this issue? Previous version was 2021.2.0.1

Hi I have a LAS dataset that contain small pointcloud one for each signpost along a street. Mi goal is to extract the 3d coordinates of the controid of each small pointcloud.I tried with 3dbuffer but no results thx Francesco

Hi I have a GDB file with feature layers from ArcGIS Pro in it that I would like to use workbench to convert to CAD while maintaining the symbology colors. I have extracted the colors of the symbology in hex code format *(E.g. #ffffff) into the attribute tables of the layers. I added my GDB in as a Reader, added in an AttributeFilter, link the field that my symbology is dependent on back in ArcGIS, then added in a DWGStyler to every single possible option in that field in AttributeFilter. I set the color of DWGStyler to be the field containing the hexcode, and then added in my output vis writer and connected everything. But no matter what I try, the CAD file doesn't register any of that at all.As you can see, none of the hex colors seemed to have gotten into my CAD file.
