Greetings,

I am reading in Date/Time items in String format from an ESRI REST API.

 

I have a field uploaded with values (below):

1331249589000

1331249634000

1331249646000

1331249638000

 

FME cannot identify/transform the values??

 

Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.

Regards,

Clive

It's a UNIX timestamp (time in milliseconds since epoch)

If you divide the value by 1000 and use %s as the input format in a DateTimeConverter you will be able to turn it into a more recognisable date
