What is the faster way to run an OSM (xml) data to Esri geodatabase data for a big area with FME?

Dear Sir/madam,

I am student, working on OSM highway(poly_line) xml data with respect to the keys Max_speed and surface for the whole Africa.

In this case; I took at first, the Geometry Filter with line and I used 2 list_searchers for max_speed and surface respectively. And also use 2 attribute_creator for output. This way is working to get a Geo-database file which i can use on Arcmap. But it takes a long long time to read the data because of XML data.

Could you please help me to find the faster way or model to run the XML data? OR a faster way by using PBF format in this purpose in FME?

Thank you.

Sincerely Yours,

Yasin

Try using an AttributeExposer and expose the "maxspeed" and "surface" attributes, e.g.

The attributes are documented in the OSM wiki:

I use the commandline tool OSMFilter to create a smaller OSM file with only the features I'm interested, prior to reading with FME.

Starting with FME 2017 you can read the PBF format directly, I would suspect that's faster than XML. By how much, I'm not sure, however.

Otherwise I completely agree with @jdh about reducing the data volume before processing with FME.
