Edit Text File parameters
In a workbench that reads messages from waterway users I will join weather info based on date and time to those messages. Most off these messages concern cases off near misses (interaction of ships or ships and infrastructure). Weather info like wind, winddirection and visibility are important parameters for further analyses. With a Text File reader I make a connection to our weather institute and get hour data from the datacenter. So every night I read the messages from the day before and the idea is to join the weather info from the same day.
In the source text file one of the parameters is the start date from where the weather data is read (in this case 20170411 and start hour is 01, see png). So what I want is to make the start date variable and depending of the actual date, I will only read the last 2 days of weather data! Is it possible to make the start date variable in this case?
I use FME desktop 2015 but will also publish the workspace at FME server!
