Q & A From the Webinars:
- Does the dynamic schema option link to outside sources for the output layer schema?
Yes. See the FME Evangelist post and/or Aaron's fmepedia page on dynamic examples. - Is it possible to disable the “run” button and force users to hit “prompt and run” only?
No – but we like this idea. We will file an enhancement request. - With the generic reader, can I over-ride the “guess” by passing in the FME Short name for the file format?
Yes. There is a parameter which will let you choose either 'guess' or a format from the formats list. - Can the generic writer handle ESRI file geodatabase?
Yes, this should work without a problem. - 20% faster on multi-core regardless of core count?
Yes. This particular improvement should be the same regardless of the number of cores. - Will Stata formatted stats be supported?
There are no plans at this time. - Who do I contact regarding Cloud/Amazon licensing?
Please contact sales@safe.com - A dynamic schema may reference multiple DB tables – are different writes to different tables managed best by using fanout on the dynamic writer or do you filter on fme_feature_type before writing to the dynamic?
No. Fanout is disabled when you use dynamic because the dynamic functionality does a similar action. You choose an attribute (fme_feature_type by default) and we write to those tables. The difference is that these tables already have a schema definition that is dynamically pulled in either by the source or a Reader Resource. - Will dynamic writing pick up all block attributes in a DWG and create schema fields?
If the Group Entities in the Parameters dialog is set to Attribute Schema, a feature type will be created for each layer, and the schema of that feature type will consist of all the attributes from all the blocks on that layer. So, yes.
