Hi!

 

 

I'm trying to set up a workspace with three Readers: TAB, MIF/MID and Shape. I've published a parameter, which contains the path to a zip file. The zip file could contain either TAB, MIF/MID or Shape files. If the zip file has only Shape files, the TAB Reader fails and gives an error. I would like FME to ignore failing readers. Setting up the parameter Ignore Failed Readers to Yes doesn't seem to have an effect.

 

 

BR,

 

Lassi

What about using a generic reader, will that solve the issue? and then afterwards split the features in the workspace based on fme_basename if needed?

Problem with generic reader is that it doesn't support zip files.

Actually it might be bug. I tested this with a single Shape reader, and dataset D:\\Temp\\empty\\*.shp. The folder empty doesn't contain any files. The parameter Ignore Failed Readers doesn't have any effect. Even though it should, when looking at this article: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/Ignoring-Source-Datasets

You are right regarding the generic reader does not support zip-files. Safe: I assume a ZIP-file should be handled the same as any directory and that you can put this as a request for 2013SP1?
