Error occurred trying to create area geometry - Creating TAB File

Hi,

 

 

could you give us a bit more specific information, please? Sample data, screenshots, logs, versions, etc...

 

 

David

Agreed David, definitely need some more specifics. To be clear I have translated the data from TAB to Oracle without error then without changing any of the data I have tried to extract it from Oracle to TAB and then I get the error described.

 

 

Our FME Version is 2013 SP3

 

Oracle version is 10g

 

MapInfo 11.5.1

 

 

The TAB file created is usable however the error given to me by FME about the area geometry creation is confusing and worrying since I don't know what effect it has on my data. eg. is it telling me it couldn't calculate the extent for metadata or is this something else? 

 

 

Below it the log file. I replaced sensitive information with # symbols. I am possibly able to provide some of the geometry data if it is required but am hoping to get some feedback on the information currently provided.

Hi,

 

 

agree that is a weird error. I suppose you have verified with MapInfo that the TAB-file contains as many features as FME reports having written? Also, double check that you don't have a shutdown script in your workspace that throws these errors.

 

 

If nothing else helps, I'd recommend you send a minimal dataset and workspace to your reseller or Safe (https://safecommunity.force.com/knowledgeSubmitCase) for their opinion.
