I'm trying to run a batch process using the cmd prompt and am stuck on an FME_EncodeText error for my input source shapefile.  The workspace just reads in a shapefile datasource then converts it to various formats and fanouts based on basename.  Any ideas

 

 

Y:\\web_processing\\Projects\\Teranet\\postgis_clipper>fme.exe shp_parcel2multi_2013_02_18.fmw --src_shp Y:\\web_processing\\Projects\\Teranet\\postgis_clipper\\parcel_tiles_2013_03\\parcels_1\\parcel174355474302013tera\\Label.shp --FEATURE_TYPES "" --kml_fanout_directory parcel_tiles_2013_03_fme_kml --dwg_fanout_directory parcel_tiles_2013_03_fme_dwg --dgn_fanout_directory parcel_tiles_2013_03_fme_dgn

Hi Travis,

 

 

you seem to be running FME 2009 here, are you sure that's your intention? I'm guessing you could get these kinds of strange errors if you were to run a newer workbench file with a very old version of FME.

 

 

Try specifying the complete path of fme.exe (remember to put double quotes around it if there are any spaces in it) and see what happens.

 

 

Example "c:/program files/fme2013/fme.exe" <the rest of your parameters here>

Hi, is the workspace you written with a later build of FME than build 5658 as that's the engine you are calling. This can happen with command line running when you have more than 1 build of FME installed. Either specify the full path to the later build FME.exe or edit your PATH environment variable to give priority to the newest install of FME.
