HI

 

I use the Arcgis data Interoperabilty for the exercise present on the FME academy but I received an error related to the reprojection

image 

so I suspect that the Arcgis data interoperability reprojection is a little bit different than FME

can you support please ?

thx

In your original workspace, please right-click on the Reprojector transformer, then choose Properties. This will bring up the settings dialog for the transformer. Please post a screenshot of this dialog so we can see the settings, or attach a copy of your workspace to the reply.

The Esri reprojection engine requires that the datum transformation be explicitly set when changing between coordinate systems with different GCS's, but the Reprojector transformer does not allow choosing a transformation, so it fails when using the Esri engine.

If you want to use the Esri reprojection engine, I recommend using the EsriReprojector instead of changing the workspace Reprojection Engine settings.

The coordinate systems in the EsriReprojector use the Esri names instead of the FME names, so UTM83-10 would be NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_10N.
