SHAPE Reader: Dataset `C:\\data\\xxxxxx.dbf' lacks the required extension `shp'

Hi Everyone,

 

 

I have a generic reader and it is writing to Oracle Spatial 11g as a dynamic schema. I'm having an issue with my reader opening the datasets in a folder I tell it to look in. What's happening is that it tries to open the .dbf file as if it is the .shp file and then on consecutive runs it will try an open .TAB files as if they are .shp files. 

 

 

Even if I change the "Feature Types to Read" parameter I still get issues with both .tab and .shp files. If i specify that FME should read the specific file instead of looking in a folder for them then it works. It is as if FME just finds the first file which matches the name of the feature and tries to read it as the .shp file instead of looking in the folder for the file with the extension .shp and using that.  

 

 

Could I get some help with this? Even some confirmation from other people who can replicate the problem.

 

 

I'm using FME Desktop 2014 SP2 build 14339 - win32

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

 

 

If u set the genericic reader file/filter to  *.shp you should not have this problem.
