Transformers

I don't want to use the drop&create option on the table, this is too dangerous. My goal is to read the collection, rewrite some rows using JSON transformers and update them thanks to their mongodbId.

In the same manner as I can get the name of the workspace via the $(WORKSPACE_NAME) Trying to make it easier to bugfix scripts if they fail or get terminated by a terminator transformer. The message is then sent to a teams-channel.

I read files from Sharepoint. Sometimes I can read all the files but other times (no obvious pattern) I get this error msg when reading the exact same files again:`fme_rejection_message' has value `SharepointOnlineConnector: Could not connect to server. Check that you are connected to the internet and that no firewall is blocking outbound connections. The error was 'HTTPSConnectionPool(host='graph.microsoft.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=60)''Can I somehow easily adjust the read timeout?

Hello, I have the following problem. I have a file with a lot of rings, which all have a unique ID. On the other side I have a lot of raster files which also have this ID as file name. Now I want to crop each one of the raster files to the corresponding outline with the same ID. These cropped individual raster files are then to be saved individually. How can I tell the Clipper Transformer to "blend" the ID of the ring with the ID of the raster file ? Maybe someone can give me a hint. Many thanks and best regardsMaisels

how to do it such that upon getting the value of ward_no it should run the model for the data pertaining to the ward and how to pass the parameter value (in this case ward_no) to fme workbench reader to make the process dynamic.

Newb here, I'm using FME a lot for simple GIS feature class extraction, from source DB to a target DB, pretty straight forward. After many of these I'm thinking there must be a simpler way to map the source and targets.Per image below, reader layers on the left and writer layers on the right, then I manually connect them. The writers are identical, no changes or alterations required, surely there is a way around the manual connecting of source/target.

when Reading feature class Unable to read from the table/feature class 'schemaName.table'. If 'schemaName.table' contains a class extension, make sure it is registered on this computer. The sde backend is Oracle and SDE 10.8.1

Hi, I have a table with 10 points. I convert these points into a squares of 100 by 100 meters. Then I cut another table on these squares with the clipper. Next I want to make a PDF file of each square separately with a map of the 100 by 100 area. So it should be 10 separate pdf files. How can you best handle that? Currently the squares are put in 1 pdf instead of 1 pdf per squares. I've tried looping the PDFPageformatter, but it's not allowed.

I would like to try the Visvalingam-Wyatt algoritm in one of my projects since the results look promising and it can be run on polygons.  Thing is that I have never used PythonCaller, or coded in python. Before I dive in I have a few questions: Has anyone got this simplification algoritm up and running in FME using one of the code samples of github? Was there a way to retain the borders between areas? That would be a must have for me.  

I'm trying to solve how I can get the properties for a Excel worksheet. I have over 5000 Excel files trying to parse. These files fall into 6 different formats for data extraction. However all the files are created from an Excel template which starts with all the worksheets for all the different formats. Depending on the user's initial selection using a VBA marco in Excel certain worksheets will be visible or not.  I'd really like to test if certain worksheets are visible and then take actions accordingly in FME.  Also important is all these files are formatted as XLS (older Excel) and not XLSX .

The file with the error is not the one listed here, and I don't know where the translation is getting the parameter that has the error.

Hi, Attached I have two sets of data with several polygons. The two are almost identical, but one has different polygons or more polygons than the other. How can I do it using FME? I already used the Spatial Relator transformer and change detector transformer but the results were not good. I want to know the difference between the two, that is what appeared in one and what disappeared in the other. can anybody help me? Thanks

I have created a custom transformer and exposed all external attributes from the input port. I have two attributes, they are called Attribute1 and Attribute2. On the output port, I have set Attribute To Output to Specified Attributes Only. Now I can select/unselect attributes from the list. I have unselected Attribute2 and pressed Ok but the settings don't work. Both attributes are still present outside of the custom transformer on its output port. When I reopen the properties of the output port, both attributes are still selected. But now I cannot unselect them anymore. They are greyed out although Specified Attributes Only is still selected. It doesn't help to change Attribute To Output to All Attributes and back to Specified Attributes Only. When I restart FME, the attributes are not greyed out anymore, but it doesn't matter if I unselect attributes on the output port. The settings take no effect when I press Ok.

I've been trying to find a solution to change the start /end vertex of a closed polyline. I have a point where i want the polygon to start, how can I easily reorder all the vertices?

Hello,  I am a GIS Database Analyst at the Province of Nova Scotia’s Nova Scotia Geomatics Centre working along side John Power. We have recently encountered a possible issue with FME in a workbench we have created that reads in CARIS files and coverts them to ESRI file format data where topological errors sometimes appear to be occurring during the conversion. We are trying to create a process that converts our Nova Scotia property records database’s management units (MU’s) from CARIS to ESRI format filetypes and also build polygons from the existing linework.  Our FME Version being used is FME Desktop 2022.2, I have also attached a copy of our current workbench and one of our zipped CARIS MU Units as an example.  The issue we appear to be encountering is that our FME converted lines sometimes appear to have an extra vertex added that is causing topology errors that don’t allow certain polygons to be successfully built. The ex

I have a workbench that reads in three road datasets, does a bunch of tests and outputs to a file gdb. Two datasets have around 3000 records each and the third has almost 11,000 records, so not huge datasets. The problem I am having is the two smaller ones write successfully but the larger one only writes 956 records.  If I write to shapefile all is fine but no matter what I try the file gdb writer fails. I have tried writing to fresh gdb and still same result. I am using FME Form 2023.0 and ArcGIS Pro 3.0 Any ideas?

I've used the Airport demo as a base and all features are connected properly in the output file except that the point feature is missing. I've attached the image below where you can see that the gml_object_name is populated just like in the demo. I've tested all posibilities in the demo and reduced the attributes to gml_id and gml_parent_id just to remove any other possibilities.  Could you tell me why is this happening? What is expected for the ElevatedPoint to be added? Thanks 

Hi allI've been given a handful of grid shift file (.gsb) that I need to add to FME Cloud so that I can use them within a published service (via the CsmapReprojector transformer).This is what I've done so far.On Desktop I've copied the .gsb files to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FME\\Reproject\\GridData\\Australia and modified C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\CoordinateSystems\\MyCoordSysDefs.fme, adding the custom transformation definitions which point at the relevant .gsb. For example:The transformation was tested and worked fine using desktop.I then uploaded this modified MyCoordSysDefs.fme file to FME Cloud when I published the workspace I'll be using. I uploaded the file to myfmecloud.com/fmeserver/resources#/Engine/CoordinateSystems.I realize the transformation definitions in MyCoordSysDefs.fme points to

I am using the SBS-Plugin for Smallworld to connect to Smallworld datastores. The plugin version is 2021,FME version 2021, the Smallworld version we are using is 5.2.3. We have connected a new datastore to Smallworld. Unfortunately this new datastore does not appear in the table list dialog of the SBS-reader. Any ideas?

Hi, I need to download files using WFS link and zipped it and publish to FME Flow so that I can share the link of the zipped WFS files to other. Can anyone assist on how to achieve this? Thanks

Is it possible to delete rows in Excel based on a cell value? I am comparing a data-set in Excel to another Excel file using Feature Merger. I want to delete the rows in the data-set which match a specific field (DETECTOR) in the new file(s).I feel like this should be very basic since Power Automate can do it (And MS has a surprisingly poor integration with their own software). The closest thing I found was the Database Deleter, but it doesn't have an Excel option for format. I can add Microsoft Excel as a new custom format, but that doesn't behave the way I would expect (opens a new workspace?).

I've been using a couple of Affine transformer to transform data from/to a custom, local coordinate system. I just discovered the possibility of defining a custom FME coordinate system with the TMAF projection, so I'm trying to simplify my workspace using this. I put a new TMAF (based on UTM32) into MyCoordSysDefs.fme and then use it in a regular Reprojector transformer. It's my understanding that such affine transforms should be invertible, and that I should just need to change the from/to coordinate systems in the Reprojector to get the correct transform, but I can only get it to work one way? How is this supposed to work?

Hi, I have multiple gdb with feature classes. I would like to get one feature class per each gdb as a sample. The catch is that I do not want to read all data as it's massive. I would like to filter/sample it while reading something similar to SQL Creator
