How do you add a reader in FME?
Select Readers > Add Reader. Alternatively, use Quick Add. Browse to the dataset file (or group of files) that you want to add. FME can usually determine the format from the file extension, and will automatically populate the Format field. Specify parameters and coordinate system (if applicable).
When to use a faster hard drive for FME?
Many of the FME temporary files are created when caching data for larger datasets or for display in the FME Data Inspector. Using a faster hard drive can make a significant difference to the FME translation if disk cache I/O speeds are improved. An example would be if you have an SSD (Solid-State Drive)…
Why do I need to adjust memory resources in FME?
Adjusting Memory Resources. One issue that can affect FME performance when you’re working with very large datasets is available RAM. If you run a very large dataset through a workspace, you may see a message box that says “Out of Memory. Please free some memory, then choose retry.” This means that no more memory can be allocated.
Why does FME take the first file in the workspace?
This is a time-saving function: there will be no difference in the workspace results. If you know the files have the same schema, FME will not have to perform an initial scan of all the files to determine their schema. Instead, FME will take the first file as being representative of the data model.
How to send list of files to reader?
Basically you would read the Excel spreadsheet with an FME reader as usual, send each row of that spreadsheet into the PythonCaller, and the PythonCaller would read the MapInfo file specified by the current row and output the features of the MapInfo file to be subsequently processed by other transformers or writers.
When to use variable XML Dataset as Reader in FME?
This question is linked with my old question Variable XML dataset as reader in FME wher I got answer for one file in folder. If I have two xml files, for instance, fme read them both at the “same time” and use values from both files for one fme wb.
Which is the best way to use FME?
As is always the case there are several different ways you can achieve the right result using FME. Here are two approaches you could consider: When you run a workspace from within FME Workbench what you are actually doing is executing the command-line fme executable.
