Happy “FME Release Day”. Today is the day we release the newest version of FME; FME2012.
Probably the largest change is in how we construct and use attributes inside a workspace. There are some updates that will have a huge benefit for workspace authors, and this post details a few of these.
If you’ve installed FME2012, or listen in to the @FMEEvangelist on Twitter, you’ll be aware that some transformers in 2012 have a new option: one to run the transformation as multiple processes.
And, although you might not realize it, this is a seismic shift in thinking, not just for the new capabilities, but for FME as a whole.
The fact FME now has an OpenStreetMap Writer in FME2011 is likely to either excite you greatly or make you shrug your shoulders and say “meh”.
What you meh-sayers need is a good use case; and here I hope to give you just that, with a few guidelines for best practice when uploading data to OpenStreetMap.org.
