Hi I'm loading data from an ESRI .gdb file geodatabase into an Oracle database. When I run the .fmw script from Windows, the date loads fine into an Oracle table 'date' field (e.g. 06/22/2019). But when i run the same .fmw script from Linux FME Desktop, the date in oracle (same oracle db) is messed up (e.g. 02/12/1937). Anyone know how to fix? NOTE: Windows is FME Desktop 2017.1.2.1 Win 32, Linux version = FME 2017.0.1.1 (linux-x64). The .fmw script used was created from the Windows FME Desktop. All other fields seem to load just fine.

Are you using the DateFormatter to force the date field into the required format?

Regularly writing to a database requires a default formatting and that might be different for Windows and Linux.

@ckintanar Just to expand on @erik_jan 's comment - if you are writing a date or datetime data type, you do need to ensure that the data/time you use to write to Oracle and SQL Server is in the FME standard data time format, not a display format.
