19. Attribute Magic – Demos

20. Experience streamlined
workflow creation.

21. Upgraded FME Workbench interface

24. Demo: FME in Action
1. Read air quality data (JSON
from aqicn.org)
2. Get stats for our city
3. Generate HTML report
4. Save to local machine plus
upload to AWS S3 for sharing

25. AWS S3
Dropbox

26. FeatureReader & FeatureWriter
Revolution

27. A Powerful Pair
Read data mid-
workspace.
Write data mid-
workspace.

28. FeatureReader Examples
• Read data within a boundary
• Read data within a user-drawn area
• Read back the data FME has
written in the same workspace
(est. 2011)

30. New: FeatureWriter
Do things AFTER the data is
written and in FME Workbench.
Before:
• Shutdown Python / TCL scripts
• Chain workspaces together with
FMEServerJobSubmitter or
WorkspaceRunner
Less Coding
More Workbench

31. Easy Wins!
• Copy data after writing
• Send results to FTP
• Email an attachment
• Load into Dropbox
• What else?

32. Automation
Workflows
• Quality checking
• Database validation
• FME Server Notification
• What else?

33. 3rd-Party Integrations
• LASTools
• Orfeo ToolBox
• ImageMagick
• What else?

34. 3rd-Party Integrations - Pattern
1. Create Temporary Path (TempPathNameCreator)
2. Write Temporary Data (FeatureWriter)
3. Create Command Line (AttributeCreator)
4. Execute Command (SystemCaller)
5. Read New Data Back to Workspace (Feature Reader)

35. FeatureWriter – Demos

37. Discover, share, collaborate

39. Thank you!
