Reading larger shape file in FME Forms?

Dear ​@saravanakumar, thanks for your question. Thats an interesting case. One of the things you could try to import the shapefile into QGIS and see whether it loads correctly there. In case you get an error there as well, the file might be corrupt.

Did you check your RAM memory as well? It looks like FME cannot get enough space to read the Shapefile.

Hi ​@lambertus, 

            Thank you for your response. yes i checked that file in QGIS and GSA-P both working fine and RAM space also available around 18GB. I also checked the C drive which have the enough space but not sure why FME is struggling. 

I am just opened new workbench and tried to add a shp file reader with 2GB shapefile that’s it.

Hi ​@saravanakumar , thanks for your reply. You could also try to create the shapefile again using Smallworld? 

Maybe that solves the issue in an easy way removing certain errors which seem to be present now.

2GB is maximum size a shapefile component can be (.dbf, .shp etc). Collectively, the files (combined) can be larger than 2GB.

Line 14 suggests that the file is corrupt, I’d investigate that further and as ​@lambertus said, look to recreate it to see if that is the issue.

2020 is also a 5 year old version of FME, If possible, i’d look to upgrade to a newer, supported, version.

Hi ​@lambertus , Sorry for the delay. Yes I reexported the files again now it is completed but yet I cannot open that file neither FME not QGIS. But GSA works for me.

Thanks for your suggestion. 

Hi ​@hkingsbury , Thank you for your recommendation will check about that.!
