Transformers

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.

I just started with the FME AR app available in Google Play and deployed it on my Samsung A73 5g mobile phone. This supports ARCore and the Depth API. I also granted permissions to use Camera, Location and Notifications. I made use of the sample fmear file available at the FME site and tried opening that in the app. As the tutorial says, I should be able to see the sample AR content even without me having to be present at the true location of the assets in Canada. At the time of opening, I pointed the phone to the floor after which it displayed a message Searching for planes. This was followed by a display of an array of points on the floor on my house with a message Pick a plane for model elevation with a green circle like icon spinning. After i touched the points displayed on the screen, i saw a push buton like icon and a small box with a label Hydrant.  Pls refer to attached image. Am i missing something? Second, i made use of the FME Workbench and copied the table structue of the

Hi, I'm running a large workbench that I can't seem to troubleshoot as I'm getting the following on the log as per below. It runs fine on different smaller test batches, but upon running on the actual dataset it seems to crash or stop. Is there a way to override if there is a single file that is breaking the process? Log below. Thanks for the assistance (happy to include more files if need be). ListExploder (ElementFactory): Processed 7927 elementsCreating reader for format: Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXFTrying to find a DYNAMIC plugin for reader named `ACAD'ACAD_1 Reader: Using rich geometry.AutoCAD Reader: Successfully opened file xyz etc....AutoCAD Reader: Renamed attribute 'Sign Type' to 'Sign_Type' to remove the following invalid characters '<>/\\&$|:!~ ()"@'Error running translation. 

Hi Everyone, I have this KML and I cannot seem to figure out how to convert to shapefile without losing the data in html description field. Ideally, I want these to be parsed to attributes. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,Is it possible to halt the normal data flow (preferably with a transformer), and ensure that a certain transformer receives and processes one feature at a time before the next feature is provided to it ? Some sort of "semaphore" or "street light" functionality ?I have a custom transformer that works perfectly, but its logic is only valid on a single feature.Plan B is to redo the logic, but if the above is possible, it would be much simpler.Cheers. Lars

I have a HttpCaller that reads different kinds of information depending on the user input and therefore the attribute column names are all the time different. With the JSONFlattener you can import the column names that you want to expose, but ideally I would like to expose them dynamically. I was wondering if something like that is possible.

I have an excel containing 3 columns with name of Belgian commune in 3 format : one with dash (ex Saint-Nicolas), one its regex counterpart (\\bSaint-Nicolas\\b), and one without dash (Saint Nicolas). My goal is to replace, in a feature layer, the attribute with the dash by the one without the dash. So, for this, I am using a conditional replacement in attributeManager, but it fails ( @ReplaceString(@Value(attributeToReplace),@Value(xls_regex),@Value(xls_FinalName),caseSensitive=TRUE). It seems that it doesn't recognize that the attribute fulfill the condition. But, if I put my condition manually, one commune at a time (attributeToReplace Contains \\bSaint-Nicolas\\b, etc.), it does work ! What am I missing here ?

I want to tile cache images and write them to the folder by Mapbox structure with PNG files.I have tried using WebMapTiler to tile cache images and found it different from Mapbox structure.I tried also Writer Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) Tileset to write them and i found that the folder structure was correct (Level-Row-Colum) but its file is pbf formatHow do I create tiling cache images with the same structure above when I use Writer Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) Tileset in order to write PNG files instead pbf files?Pls, help me! ... 🙂

I am calculating angle between two points using the geographical neighbor finder. This returns an angle which starts from East and goes counter clockwise. To map to geographic coordinates I use the formula 90 - angle, if angle < 0 then angle +360 This is resulting in a set of angles which when visually inspected appear to be shifted clockwise. In Washington and on the West coast, this shift ranged from 50-70 degrees. on the east coast, it ranged from 20-40. Louisiana sat right in the middle at 40 degrees. These shifts seem reminiscent of the transforms between magnetic north and true north.  Is there a way that I can derive angles from the geographical neighbor finder so that they line up with angles expected through inspection? Thank you.

I have a Geospatial PDF file, I want to convert it to Raster (Geotif) but I can't put any text into the Raster output. I use the TextStroker transformer before connecting it to ImageRasterizer Transformer but it always error, I also tried some way to run the TextStroker transformer but I have just received only one message "Error running translation".Anybody help me! ..... I'm using FME 2023 version

Hi all,I am almost where I want to be with my FME script, however am encountering a road block as the final portion of the script is writing duplicate records and adding geometry to my target feature class, when I want the original records in the target feature class updated.I have two separate polygon feature classes, one entitled TDE Projects and another entitled TPL Corridors and Concepts. There is one Project Number (text) attribute that only exists in the TPL Corridors and Concepts layer that I want translated into overlapping polygons where TDE Projects and TPL Corridors and Concepts polygons overlap and have the Project Number from the TPL Corridors and Concepts layer inputted into the TDE Projects records.Right now, my script is performing the overlay correctly and inputting the Project Number into a new field I created in the TDE Projects table entitled "TPL Project Number", however it is also generating duplicate records/geometry.Ex: Correct record in TDE Projects w

I am using an Attribute Value Mapper which works well but would like to refresh the mapping data (imported from excel file) at run time so that the Transformer always holds the latest up to date data without having to manually import. Any ideas? thanks!

In my PostgreSQL 9.4.26 (Greenplum Database 6.25.1 build) I like to import a csv with a location written as GEOMETRYCOLLECTION. What is the best practice to import this csv? Table: CREATE TABLE geometries (name varchar, geom geometry); In PGAdmin I can import the script below: INSERT INTO geometries VALUES ('Point', 'POINT(0 0)'), ('Linestring', 'LINESTRING(0 0, 1 1, 2 1, 2 2)'), ('Polygon', 'POLYGON((0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 1, 0 0))'), ('PolygonWithHole', 'POLYGON((0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0),(1 1, 1 2, 2 2, 2 1, 1 1))'), ('Collection', 'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(2 0),POLYGON((0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 1, 0 0)))'); How can I import the attached csv with fme to this table?For example:id,locationtest4,"GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(LINESTRING(4.79331731796265 51.5768852233887,4.77598190307617 51.5717544555664))" 

Bonjour,  Je rencontre des difficultés depuis maintenant plusieurs jours sur un traitement FME, donc je me tourne vers vous.  Je dispose :d'une API token : thttps://ext.prod.api.e*****.fr/oauth2/v3/tokend'une API GET adresse de(s) PRM(s) : https://ext.prod.api.e*****.fr/address/v1/{{PRM}}d'une table de données avec tous les id unique PRM (388 PRM différents) Je souhaite, requêter mon API selon une variable colonne : la colonne id_PRM de la table PRM, mais je n'arrive pas à requêter mon API. Pour l'instant j'arrive seulement à requêter 1 id_PRM à la fois. D'après mes recherches il faut soit que j'arrive à définir ma colonne comme variable, soit que je créer une boucle Looper, mais je n'y parviens pas. Est-ce que quelqu'un s'est déjà retrouver dans cette situation et pourrait m'aider ? Je vous remercie par avance.  Morgane  

I am working on an Excel spreadsheet that contains employee information from various markets. My aim is to extract this data and import it into the ArcGIS portal. However, the only transformer I know of that can accomplish this task is the ArcGIS Online Connector. The problem I am facing is that it requires a file to be uploaded, which is not very useful in my workspace. I do not want to save my output file; instead, I want to write it directly to the portal. I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

I have source data with a special character in it, a right arrow, that is: When outputting to KML, Google Earth complains about this character. Notepad++ represents it as 'SUB'. It may be the Unicode Rightwards Arrow 8594. Whatever it is, I need to get rid of it. I've tried both the CharacterCodeReplacer and the StringReplacer without success. Is it possible?Thanks 

I define a bounding box in JSON as UserParameter but when processing it, the JSONFragmenter fails when I refer to the UserParameter.Simply converting the UserParameter to an attribute, and reading the attribute into the JSONFragmenter works! There is no change to the JSON string done, and the source for the JSONFragmenter offers the use of UserParameters.The documentation for the JSONFragmenter though is pointing at "any string expression, including attribute values and workspace parameters."

I am writing data into the workspace from AGOL and using a template file in the excel writer, but nothing is being written. What am I missing?

I checked into the library and the metafile is actually present I am currently on MacOS 14 (Sonoma), but the error appeared also on MacOS 13.6 (Ventura). I tried multiple FME versions from 2022 and 2023 (most recent 2023.1), but nothing changed. Each app was fully un- /installed and my machine restarted several times.In the following page a found a similar. type of error, but no real solution was posted. https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q0000931q1eSAA/i-get-this-error-workspace-generation-failed-parameter-file-was-privatevarfolderstrrfmmyq590j17jq9ndl8my5lh0000gntfme16356342673728830-can-anyone-helpI hope someone could help me with this. Many thanks.

I would like to create a custom transformer where I can submit a group of attributes ( e.g. all datetime ) and have the output back into the same attributes. Similar to the 'DateTimeConverter' or ' StringReplacer' which allows for the selection of multiple attributes to perform a transformation upon. Is this possible? If so, how as I am unable to find documentation . Other suggestions greatly appreciated. Many Thanks

I have read through the documentation regarding distributed deployment of FME Flow but I can't figure out if all of the distributed engines need an ArcGIS server license, or just the main server. Thanks

At my workspace I can give GUID's to surface polygons. (Lod4Multisurface). But as you know polygons consists LinearRings. With GeometryPropertySetter or Attribute manager I could not access to LinearRing and assign GUID values for them. Am I using wrong trasnsformer or wrong using wrong parameters at related trasnsformers. I will be gratefull if somebody knows how to.
