FME areabuilder writing polygons to gdb problem

Hi @jagteshwarshan. Sharing a few more details will help the FME community help you. Please reply to this thread and provide additional details including:

• A clear statement of the problem you are trying to resolve
• The version of FME you are using, including build number and edition
• A description of your expected output, with screenshots if possible
• Your FME translation log file
• Any other information that may be useful to share

So I want to input some lines, form polygons from them and write it to a geodatabase as a Feature Class- using the areabuilder tool of FME.

Something like this as the input converted to polygon:

I have the following FME workspace (quite straightforward):

The geodatabase writer only writes the polygon with a donut. It doesnt write the others (simple polygons without holes)

Resulting Feature Class:

Whereas the FME data inspector port shows all the polygons fine:

Why don’t the simple polygons without holes get written.

The log file states that failed to write the geometry to feature class with geometry type 'esriGeometryPolygon':

The geometry in log shows as IFME line (for the regular polygons)

Using a Geometry Filter, it shows all the 4 entities to be polygons, yet the log states otherwise.

The data inspector shows all polygons yet on gdb, only the donut polygon is written.

What is the problem here, can anybody suggest a solution to this

hi

@NatalieAtSafe

Let me know if the question is clear now. In the attachment, I have included the shapefile lines and FME workspace operating.

Also if it would help to restate the question, I can post it again?

test-copy-1gdb.zip

The Gdb on which I am working is attached (contains only one feature class on which FME workbench operates)

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

• Branch the feature flow output from the first AttributeRemover into two streams, you can then connect one stream to the "lines2poly" feature type to write the features; connect another stream to the GeometryCoercer to continue the succeeding processing.
• Alternatively, you can also use a FeatureWriter instead of the "lines2poly" feature type to write the polygons, and connect a FeatureReader to the FeatureWriter to read the resulting polygons.
