If you look into ETL techniques you’ll find that one technique used to make for a more efficient process is called Staging. This post examines what staging is, how you might use it with spatial data, and what FME tools exist to carry out such techniques.
This use case is intended to show a real world scenario for FME dynamic workspaces, and how to integrate dynamic functionality with batching tools like a Dataset Fanout.
This post demonstrates the use case of creating a dataset suitable for visualisation of density (or clustering) information. It’s a good example of how just a few transformers can give impressive results.
It’s strange to think that FME Server is really just another tool for running a workspace.
But what a tool it is! Web services, job queuing, failover, fault tolerance, security, and much more. So, this post is all about the updates to FME Server that make the FME2010 version an even better place to run that workspace!
Dynamic and Generic are two aspects of FME functionality, alike in purpose but still distinct features in their own right. To put it succinctly, Dynamic ≠ Generic. So this post explains the differences (and similarities) and covers the huge improvements made for multipurpose workspaces in FME2010.
