Workspace Processing Game

Game Help

Game Objective
You have been asked by your manager to process some data. They have picked a particular type of data to get priority. You must ensure that this data is processed first. The first dataset to be processed is the one that passes through enough transformers to reach a writer.

Game Play
First of all select the data type that is your choice to get priority. It will be Vector, Raster, Lidar, or Attribute data. Then click the Run button to run the workspace. The workspace is in debug mode, so each time you press the run button, a different action will happen.

Actions
The actions are:

• Transformer: A transformer is run under one of the data types.
• Warning: A warning is added to the log file.
• Error: A fifth warning has caused an error.
  
• Cache Card: You receive a chance to process data in a certain way to help your data.

Cache Cards
When a cache card is revealed, you can choose whether to apply it (press the Yes button) or reject it (press the No button). Cache cards have a positive and negative side. It is up to you to determine whether the benefits outweigh the cost.
The cache cards are:

• FME Flow:
  • The Flow card advances your priority data type by running it on FME Flow.
  • The Flow card also adds an extra warning message to the log window.
• Debug:
  • The Debug card reverts a warning message to help avoid an error.
  • The Debug card also reverts a transformer in your priority data type.

Other Information

• Click the Re-Run button at any time to restart the game from the beginning.
