Transformers

Hi , I have geospatial pdf has coordinates and I have shape file with other coordinates . i have read the pdf file with reader geospatial pdf and i can see that it has many layers and some data at pdf does not exist in my shape file and some exist  i would like to change coordinates of geospatial pdf to same coordinates as shape file .How could I achieve that ? the shape file consists of lines and polygons (Buildings) and points some of buildings and lines ,i can find also at pdf file but in other coordinates .it locates far away of each other . i have used pdf reader ,parameters coordinate page point and enable non spatial read meta data objects ,Map frames The type coordinates of geospatial pdf is unknown for me .which transformers could be useful to move geo pdf to same location of coordinates as shape file ? i am thinking if there is any transformer to compare

Hi Team, I have a electric lines and electric devices . I want to split the lines where the device exist . I used the point on line overlayer with 0.001 tolerance . But its creating many new lines with 0.001 feet (less than a feet) lines .Ideally this shouldn't be . Its creating the issues when building the Utility network . can you please help me on this ?  

Not sure if, while renewing, the new license overwrites the older one or do we do it manually?If the license is ok, is there a mistake in how I am using workbench?The license we have is a temporarily renewed free trial license. The error message in the image shows that. Please advice on the same.

Hi all, I have created a Choice user parameter and am importing the contents of the choice list (or dropdown) from a spreadsheet.The Import appears to decide itself how it wants to sort the contents of the list. Is there a way this sort can be turned off?I have already sorted the contents of the spreadsheet into the order I want, but the import kind of ruins this order, and then I am forced to manually reorder with the up and down arrows. This isn't too bad with a very small list, but is pretty frustrating with a much larger list (which I have). Plus I know I am going to have to refresh the contents of this list semi-regularly in the future.Does anyone know of a way around this? thankskeith 

I am trying to extract the 1st and 4th word but it just keeps grabbing the first 4 words, I've tried without the ^ and it doesn't work

I have situation wherein I need to add fields to all the feature classes within a SDE. I cannot seem to figure out how to loop through the SDE, and operate on one feature class at a time, though. My first thought was to generate a list of all the feature classes in the SDE using two FeatureReaders, but then I was not sure how I would iterate through that list.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So apparently, FME does look for fields that might be a good candidate for creating a point geometry in both Excel and CSV readers (see https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hfENSAY/excel-format-of-attribute). This means that if in an Excel or CSV file, there is a row with column names such as X and Y, FME will automatically try to create a point with the contents of these cells. In the top-rated answer of the above link, it is mentioned that for the CSV reader, this will only occur if the option "Scan for types" is activated. This option does seem to be missing for the Excel reader, though, or am I overlooking something? I have the problem that I am using a FeatureReader to dynamically read from an Excel file (the specific file

This is not a real question, it's more an assesment. In FME 2022, it seams that every query run with SQL Executor/Creator is run as a prepared statement (see here for more information on PostgreSQL https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-prepare.html). The problem is that only certain query can be prepared, not every one...Some of my queries can not work anymore like every "CREATE" queries that can not be prepared into PostgreSQL. Is there a way to disable this behaviour ?  For me it's a critical problem because some times we need the queries to be run as we write them, not like the database want to redefine them.

We have one floating licence and it is now stuck on an old laptop and won't release it. Can I force it to release either from the device or from the licence server?

With a postgres writer it appears that if Bulk Insert is set to Yes, if you attempt to write a string value of NULL to a varchar column that has a Not Null constraint it is interpreted as a genuine null and results in a fatal errorError was 'ERROR:  null value in column "value" violates not-null constraintIf Bulk Insert is set to No, the value is written as a string as expected Is this a known issue? This is in FME(R) 2021.2.6.0 (20220727 - Build 21821) so may have already been addressed.

Hi, I'm running into an issue that I don't understand the solution to.Using the geometries attached here, I can not clip the geometries using a tolerance of 0.001 .It does not give an error, it just gets stuck.If I dissolve the clippers before clipping, it does work. So I'm guessing there's something 'wrong' with the geometries (there is a strange pointy shape in the polygon) and the chosen tolerance, but I don't know why it gets stuck. I'm guessing the pointy-bit is too small and falls under the tolerance? I'm using fme 2022.1.2. Workspace attached and data attached.

Hi,I have a process where I am using a DEM to apply values to vertices of polylines using vertexextractor, point on rasterextractor etc (see below). But I end up with gaps where the z value has been attributed as -32767. These have occurred where the vertices are just outside of the clipped DEM - is there anything i can do to interpolate?

Hi all,​I have a lengthy workbench running. I can see the temporary files being written to the relevant 'wb_run...' folder specified in the translation log. The workbench has just finished writing outputs of an AreaOnAreaOverlayer, and those outputs are now being used as the input to a Dissolver, which is in progress at the moment. I can see a 29GB file named 'FME_OBJC_DissolverInputAreas...'. Is this a temporary hold of the AreaOnAreaOverlayer output features? If so, is there any way to use this temporary file and access/export the features in it? In case it is relevant - I have feature caching turned off. Thanks!😀

I am looking for some suggestions on how I could create a workspace that would detect no intermediate junction between linear objects that share connectivity between them and are of a different asset group and/or asset type. an example would be a HV conductor connected to a LV conductor without a point feature in between.All suggestions welcome.thank you :)

GeoCode transformation working very slow its take whole day to get the result just only 28K records is there any way to run faster

We update hundreds of shapefiles quarterly. The data we use comes from many sources, but we transform all the data of a single type into a standardized "Master" schema for that type (for example we get Parcel data from 70 counties, each having their own schema, and we translate and transfer that data into a standardized "MasterParcel" file). Using the above example we currently use 70 different workspaces containing 70 different instances of AttributeManager. To hopefully make this process much more efficient, we have developed is a database table containing rows like "ProviderSourceTable", "SourceAttribName", "SourceAttribType", "SourceAttribLength",...."TargetLayer", "TargetAttribName","TargetAttribType".... basically all the data AttributeManager needs to do the job for each data provider/data type combination. The only problem is we cannot figure out how to use this data to dynamically popu

Hi, With an http caller I execute get requests. This is done in a loop to enable pagination. Sometimes the server that receives and handles the request has trouble handling it and returns an error message. Is it possible to put a decelerator after the rejected port of the httpcaller and then redirect it to the inport of the loop so that the last get request is executed again and the workspace continues? 

I have 10000 GML files that I have read in as a single merged feature type. The task is to convert them into FBX files, maximum of 300 MB per FBX files. How do I accomplish this? I have tried modulocounter but doesnt seem to work.Also, I have tried fanout, and am trying to see if I should run a script to separate those files into folders first, prior to FME. Any ideas?

I have a fairly straightforward workspace writing out one AGOL feature class with a large schema (American Community Survey data). After running the writer the translation log shows 26 features successfully written, however, the resulting AGOL feature class only has one feature.  I am stumped as to why this might be happening as I've worked with AGOL writers pretty frequently and never encountered anything like this. Any advice?

When using the AzureEventHubsCOnnector to receive in stream mode, the documentation states "Stream: The connector continues to receive messages indefinitely. The translation needs to be terminated in order to stop reception." Am i missing something here? how do you send a termination to it? In python this is straightforward...

Dear All, in the attribute "id" I have strings that have the following format411d8e4d-2de6-0f5b-e100-00000a4c0a0dI would like to remove the dash in an AttributeManager (I know, I could do it with StringReplacer). I've tried the following formula :@ReplaceString(@Value(id), "-", ""))but it does not work (id remain unchanged), whereas the formula with FindString here below gives the expected result (8).@FindString(@Value(id),"-") Why the FindString is working but not ReplaceString ? What am I doing wrong ?I was also able to do it in the regular expression-way, @ReplaceRegularExpression(@Value(id),"\-","") but I don't understand how ReplaceString works. Has anyone an explanation ?Thanks in advance

This might be an easy one but i could not find a way around it, I have two files File A (lines with geometry) and File B CSV file(lines without geometry). Both files have ID,START,END columns as shown below. So i was wondering how can i merge them on ID as the first key and also specify the range of the start value as the second key, (any other approach is welcomed)so what i expect is the first two values of FileB be given geometry from the first value of file A, and the third value of FileB be given geometry from the second value from FileA.Thanks ,Keller.

Say I have data like the following;sequence_path (string: UTF-8): 1.2.3.4As a result I wanted to fetch the parent from this sequence_path (i.e. '1.2.3'). In order to do so I wanted to do the following;Use a reverse search to find the position of the last '.' in the string, Fetch the (Left) substring up to the position of this last '.' To perform the first step, I thought to use the FindString() string function (with a negative startIndex). So, at first I thought that @FindString(@Value(sequence_path),.,-1) could be used. However, that returned '-1' (not found). However, somewhat unexpectedly at first, I noticed that '@FindString(@Value(sequence_path),.,-2) ' did return the desired value. Upon second reading of the 

Hello, I wish to write to a specific version in a versioned feature dataset, by default the arcgis portal feature service writer writes to the SDE version aka the main/base version. Where can I configure which version the writer will write to?  Thanks.
