Why are text features no longer translating after touching .fmw file? could it be related to: attribute(s) do not exist: error message?

Hello,

I am attempting to take over support for FME Smallworld translations and the first task is to add some new features to an .fmw file. I am able to add the features but notice that doing this or changing the file in any other way causes seemingly unrelated text features to no longer translate.

 

Looking at some text features in the file, there is a warning: The following attributes do not exist: 'sworld_text_string'. This seems like it could be related to the features no longer translating; I am not sure since they do come across before touching the file. Any information is appreciated. attached are some examples and a log with the error message (updated).

I am happy to share more information or meet to try and get this resolved.

Thank you.

Translation with missing text features. possibly related error message in fmw file. image with expected text elements.

Hey @jcox​ 

 

i think you problem is, that the Reader does not connect to the transformer (Textsplitter), so the transformer can not get the attributest, for what it was created.

 

With kind regards,

Michael.

Thank you for the reply I think it helped me find my problem but not positive just yet-- my local install doesn't have all of the required transformers (that the server version does) -- so all of these are breaking when I open and then save the file with my install. next step is to get the proper transformers and try again.

Appreciated.
