This post concentrates on three new XML transformers: the XMLFlattener, the XMLSampleGenerator, and the XMLUpdater.
XML has a bad reputation as being difficult to understand and complex to use. It is bizarre that something so simple and obvious to look at can simultaneously be difficult to understand and a pain to work with.
But it’s only a pain when you don’t have the right tools: and FME2012 provides tools that work efficiently, in a way that is user friendly to even the most casual XML user.
This post is a live-blog record of the FME World Tour 2012 event in Vancouver, which occurred on April 27th 2012. Presenters from Safe are Don Murray, Dale Lutz, Stewart Harper, Mita Hajirakar, and Mark Stoakes. Customer presentations are by the RCMP and Fortis (a utilities company).
Whenever we release a new version of FME, there are always a stack of new transformers in the mix. Very often such transformers can revolutionize the way you use FME - if only you know about them.
So the next two posts of mine are going to make sure you have no such excuse!
I’ll describe six new transformers, in alphabetical order so we start today with the AttributeExpressionRenamer, RasterToPolygonCoercer, and SliverRemover.
The FME Store is not some new technology for caching data, but is simply an online shop for buying FME add-ons. This post is partly to let you know about the store - which officially launches today, April 12th - but also to highlight an example of tools produced by one of our partners, DMTI Spatial.
This post is another video evangelist. The highlight demo here shows how to use FME to attach files and images to features that are being translated to Esri Geodatabase. The trick is to use a relationship class and, if you haven’t used these before in FME, the video shows you how.
