Is it always necessary to have PNI or another Smallworld application running with FME?
Hi! Is it possible to connect an Smallworld DB directly using FME as I can do with an Oracle DB?
There are two ways of reading/writing Smallworld data in FME:
FME has a Smallworld reader/writer that requires the Smallworld edition license.
A third party FME Smallworld plugin is available. See this link SBS Plugin for more information. This solution uses the FME database edition license.
Hope this helps.
It's definitely possible but you need to ensure that the Smallworld dll and metafile are available to FME before you can use the reader/writer.
I found this tutorial extremely useful when starting out: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/48300/tutorial-getting-started-with-the-smallworld-datab.html
We're currently using Smallworld 4.3, there are training resources for this version available: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/55589/fme-desktop-for-smallworld-training-course-resourc.html?
