Hello,
I am relatively new to FME and am trying to execute a translation
using the FME Workbench. I am using using an ESRI Geodatabase
(ArcSDE) reader (GEODATABASE_SDE), and trying to convert into MapInfo
TAB output. However, when my translation executes, FME cannot
properly read the source coordinate system and this causes my output
to be unusable.
Here are some key transactions written in the FME translation log
file:
Using Dynamic Reader $Revision: 17.1 $ ( $Date: 2006/01/06 17:33:15
$ ) with module GEODATABASE_SDE to read data from dataset `ABC'
...
NAD 83 (Continental US) is not a valid key name.
Ellipsoid definition wkt_auto_1 does not exist.
...
The OGC definition of the FME coordinate system '_FME_0' is 'PROJCS
["UTM Zone 10 (NAD 83)",GEOGCS["NAD 83 (Continental US)",DATUM["NAD
83 (Continental US)",SPHEROID["GRS
80",6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Decimal
Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION
["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000.0],PARAMETER
["Central_Meridian",-123.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],UNIT
["Meter",1.0]]'.
...
FME Configuration: Source coordinate system for reader
GEODATABASE_SDE_1[GEODATABASE_SDE] set to `_FME_0' as read from input
data
...
----Now here's the log portion for the output writer: ----
FME Configuration: Destination coordinate system set to input
coordinate system `_FME_0'
MapInfo does not support datum/ellipsoid `wkt_auto_1' -- assuming
default of WGS84
Does anyone know why the input coordinate system cannot be read?
Where do the lines "NAD 83 (Continental US) is not a valid key name.
Ellipsoid definition wkt_auto_1 does not exist." come from? I have a
feeling this may be where the error lies.
Looking at my Geodatabase in ArcSDE, the source dataset projection
properties are:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Thomas
