Smallworld to GreGG - FME Server Automation
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,019 views
The document outlines the automation of GIS processes using FME Server, focusing on upgrades from Smallworld 4.1 to 4.3. Key improvements include the creation of a new workspace for exporting data, utilizing pseudo fields to simplify workspaces, and establishing a two-way connection between FME Server and Smallworld for real-time data updates. Benefits reported include reduced manual effort, improved data timeliness, and enhanced utilization of the FME server.
Smallworld to GreGG - FME Server Automation
- 1. Smallworld to GreGG FME Server Automation Ted Norcott GIS Specialist FortisBC Mark Sedgwick GIS Consultant Fujitsu
- 2. Business Requirement to Automate Process Smallworld 4.1 to 4.3 Upgrade FME Server 2014 SBS Plug-in Let’s Automate!!
- 4. Before….
- 5. Key Elements… Spatial Context configuration (only get the data you need) Logical Field Configuration (use “rich” data-model of Smallworlod to provide key information)
- 6. After….1 workspace for Export
- 7. …. GIS FME Entire DB For each object All System Boundaries “Hope” System Entire DB For each object All System Boundaries 2 Original Workspaces - “what” gets translated
- 8. New Workspace using Spatial Datum - “what area” gets exported "gas_distribution.gd_system.network_extent where network_id = '$(NAM)'"
- 9. Hope area GIS FME New Workspace using Spatial Datum - “what area” gets exported
- 10. GreGG Data Requirements 355 Third Ave (17 fields in total) X,Y X,Y
- 11. Tracing to Connected Main(1)
- 12. Tracing to Connected Main(2)
- 13. Key Element: a “Pseudo Field” programming logic for a named field within the FME Workspace (ie.) gd_meter gd_service_point_connection_location_fields
- 14. Single Pseudo Field in FME… returns 17 GIS fields from 3 different objects Magik> gd_meter.gd_service_point_connection_location_fields "XC|1271908.133|YC|453151.208|XP|1271945.286|YP|453269.155|GI SXP|1271945286.000|GISYP|453269155.000|SCENARIO||WO|1458| CIVIC|65367|DIR_SUF||NAME|KAWKAWA LAKE|PCODE|V0X 1L0| POD|619458|PREFIX||PREMISE_ID|619458|SUFFIX|Road|TOWN|Hope| UNIT|108""
- 15. List to allow multiple field returns
- 16. Automating (simplifying) the original workspaces… Exporting: Spatial Datum (replaced 2 workspaces) Pseudo Fields (replaced 5 workspaces)
- 18. Pressure values going back into Smallworld Automatically removes existing points before inserting newly calculated points.
- 20. Pressure values going back into Smallworld
- 21. Pressure Load Point values going back into Smallworld
- 22. Benefits and Conclusion Automated self-serve process on demand Removal of repetitive semi-manual process More up-to-date data Two way connection Greater usage of FME Server Software
