Hi,

I have recently upgraded my FME to 2016 and I am getting some weird output.

I am writing a MITAB file. From the last transformer I have an inspector and everything is correct and normal but then it goes to the writer and the output MITAB file would come out incomplete.

Has anyone ever experienced that? How can I fix it other than maybe re-writing the whole workbench..?

Thanks!

Maybe check this topic:

Personally I would check where it fails, but I know that can be a tough one if the workspace is big.

First thing I would try is remove the MITAB writer and add it again, thereby forcing it to use the latest version. Then if that doesn't sort it out there's some more useful suggestions in the thread @nielsgerrits mentions.

If that still doesn't sort it out I'm afraid you'll have to dive in and trace the problem and fix it.

Thanks guys! I had tried to delete the writer and add it again and also copied all the transformers to a new workbench.. I eventually fixed the problem by digging in the transformers one by one 🙂

@judychang it is a bit labor intensive up front but for critical processes you could / should build an test environment. (Same input, different folder.) This way you can run the Workspace with the new version of the software and check if the output is identical to the previous output. This way you catch a problem before production. Maybe a no-brainer with these big steps. (2013 --> 2016)
