For importing the geometries into SmallWorld the geometry in FME needs to be named.

You can use the GeometryPropertySetter transformer to do this.

The name of the geometry should match the name in the SmallWorld table (case sensitive).

Hi @sirishaepparla - These resources might help you out and complement the answer by @erik_jan:

Exercise 4 (Page 26) and Exercise 5 (Page 35) of the FME Desktop for Smallworld Training Manual covers writing single and multiple geometries to Smallworld, respectively.

Find the recorded version and sample data for the training course at safe.com/training.

(Please note that we are in process of updating the material for Smallworld 5 and FME 2017 – stay tuned for the upcoming course!)
