Transformers

Hi all. I'm having some trouble reading the Feature Types in the Microsoft SharePoint List reader. I've uploaded an XML file for the Web Connection and successfully tested it. When attempting to read the Feature Types it throws the error in the attached image. I have permissions to access the site and I can open the same URL to the SharePoint site when it throws the error. What have I missed? It's my first time working with SharePoint lists in FME so any information is appreciated. Thanks,Michael  

I have tried using spread duplicate points remover followed by neighbour finder , but the feature is still in same location .This is critical issue . can you please help on this ? 

Hi AllI am using the neighbour finder, and it works absolutely fine, however i have noticed that some of the lines cross into the neighbouring polygons as shown on the image below.The YELLOW Line is the site boundary, and ideally I would like to keep the line within the site boundary, as shown by the RED line. The GREEN line shows what has been calculated.Anyone have any ideas if this can be done, and if so how... RegardsAndy 

Fanout expression using wildcards?: Need to split a shapefile into six shapefiles based on the third character in this string: US5ME54M. That 3rd character can be one of six characters, 1 thru 6.

Hello,  I created a script that update a gdb file. The problem is that in a table it update all fields in 10 minutes. In a other table in same database with same quantity of data it update in 3 days . What is the problem ? Do you have any idea or documentation about the gdb/sde update parameters? a capture to the table problem . ELE_MUFFE work perfectly but no ELE_MUFFE

When the dataset is run first the preview is fine. It is only when I first click View Source Data. The preview searches the connection at C:\\Windows\\System32\\%connectionname% which is wrong. It should just go to the connection defined in the workspace

plz Note there is there is thickness of this object so the challenge is to extract the Face coordinates. Highly thankful to all FME Community and Experts for your effort.  

Morning. I'm trying to create an upstream trace on a network using a loop. A feature finds the upstream id of it's nearest conduit, then uses a FeatureMerger to join with a shapefile of conduits and find the feature with that ID as it's downstream id, therefore moving one length of conduit upstream. It then loops back to the start to check if that conduit has a particular value and outputs if so, or does another upstream trace if not. FeatureMerger is a blocking transformer and I've followed all the tutorials to create a custom transformer for looping with blocking transformers, but I still get the error "UpstreamTraceDWF_FeatureMerger is blocking and cannot be used in a loop..." and it then crashes. Does anyone know a way around this or is there a better way to upstream trace I could use?

I have two readers reading two shapefiles: a centerline and a AOI of interest. The centerline is in WGS 1972 and the AOI. I need to reproject the centerline to the coordinate system of the AOI. Is there a way to define the "Destination Coordinate System" with that of the AOI? 

I found this article about a known issue where the 3D View isn't available in the FME Data Inspector when using Remote Connections but I just wanted to share a solution which worked for me. I would have linked the article on the other link but I couldn't find a way to comment there. this link here outlines some steps you can take: https://knowledge.civilgeo.com/knowledge-base/enabling-gpu-rendering-for-microsoft-remote-desktop/ I didn't follow all the steps (only step 12) and it's working for me.

Are there plans to add the GetFeatureInfo capability to the OGC WMS Reader?

Hello FME community, Does anyone know how I can convert a label text into a polygone that include the text Thanks

Hello i would like to create new feature class and write into Arcsde .will be automatic add into arccaralog ?how to write it into specific feature dataset ?new feature class includes lines .which parameter should I do for Arcsde writer ?FME 2021

Hey community!I need to transform my OBJ with texture in a solid to trasform that in a IFC with material in a class like building proxy or something like that with a property set from a databse excel existing. Can someone help me?

Hello,  I need to read all attributes from input shapefiles with different attributes (not to have the attribute number and name defined). I would like to have a workflow with one reader that will read input shp e.g. "Test1" with 3 attributes (in first run) and then input "Test2" with 4 attributes (in second run) Is there a way how to do it? Thanks!

Hello All,  Please have you got an idea how i could store more then 100+ records ? When i run the WB it should compare or find the value and do the needful.    thank you all

I have followed the below process .First I used the Spatial Filter with electrical Line as a candidate and Electrical devices as filter and the spatial relationship as "Intersects". Taken the failed records from the spatial filter to neighbour finder with base as device and Candidate as "Line feature ". Using the output of closest candidate X and Closest candidate Y , Vertex created with the replace point option to overwrite the geometry .  Tried the Anchored snapper as well which is not giving the expected result . I am still seeing some of the devices are away from electrical line .Can you please help me on fixing the issue ? Thanks & Regards,Kokila    

I'm having a custom transformer that needs an URL as input for API calls, so I made it a user parameterHowever if I take the value from an attribute, that value is lost after another custom transformer that contains a list builder. If the value comes from another user parameter (set in the main), there is no issue:This is the setting by taking the url from an attribute (table shows the output from a parameter fetcher inside the custom transformer after the list builder CT) This is how it is by taking the value from another user parameter (+ output from same parameter fetcher): Is this a bug? Am I missing something?How could I solve this in a performant way?Is there a way to change a value from a user parameter to an attribute value? Say I define user parameter "URL" as private one and leave it empty. After I deduct what the URL should be (fetched from a database), can I add the fetched value to the empty user parameter?   

Is there a difference in performance when it comes to working with Missing vs Null values in FME?  I'm working with some database tables which have a lot of null values. The output is something like JSON so In the end I want the null values to be missing in the output rather than a null or an empty string.  but when it comes for manipulating the data is there a difference between missing and null values?

Helo FME Users, I am using FME for my data processing tasks, and I am trying to determine the number of points that fall within each polygon in my dataset.Specifically, I have a set of polygons and a corresponding set of points distributed across a geographic area. My objective is to count the number of points contained within each polygon. However, I am unsure about the most efficient way to achieve this using FME.Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

Hello, I am attempting to take over support for FME Smallworld translations and the first task is to add some new features to an .fmw file. I am able to add the features but notice that doing this or changing the file in any other way causes seemingly unrelated text features to no longer translate.  Looking at some text features in the file, there is a warning: The following attributes do not exist: 'sworld_text_string'. This seems like it could be related to the features no longer translating; I am not sure since they do come across before touching the file. Any information is appreciated. attached are some examples and a log with the error message (updated). I am happy to share more information or meet to try and get this resolved. Thank you.  

 I have tried both attribute checker and attribute manager to pull the data from the dgn and then run it into geometry filter to place it into an existing gdb, and this does not seem to be the correct workflow. Is there a standard setup for converting a DGN to a GDB?

How can I change the text sizes for individual elements in blocks? In AutoCAD itself I can set the text sizes within the block. In FME I set text size with autocad_text_size, but this sets the text size for all the elements and overwrites what is in the block.  So I'd like to set the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 to be much smaller than Existing and Grass

I have a csv with start and end lat longs and other attributes like road name and road number. I want to snap it to the route (road network) polyline dataset based on matching attributes (road name/road number) and then generate the line geometry of that road network from start to end coordinates provided.  Is this possible to accomplish in FME?  

I am able to use AttributeValueMapper to translate single values (ie if col1 == 1 then col2 = 'A') but I need to get it to map ranges of values, something like if (col1 > 0 AND col1 <= 50) then col2 = 'A' I keep getting 'Invalid Test Expression' errors so it sounds like I'm not writing the conditional tests correctly but I cannot see where I'm going wrong. Here's an example: Can anybody help me fix this, or point me at another way of setting a value in one column based on more than one possible value in another column? Thanks, Mike
