Good afternoon,
I was asking a few days back about exporting FME workspaces into
the ArcGIS DataInteroperability extension. By the copy-and-paste method,
I largely succeeded, and my FME Workbench tools can run as Spatial ETL
Tools. I have encountered two problems though, with the Reprojector
transformer. It looks to me like Reprojector is actually accessing the
ArcGIS list of projections (rather than the FME list). That by itself is
not necessarily a problem. The problem arises when I run the tool and
translation fails due to a projection problem. Here is a snippet of the
log for the tool that includes reprojecting a shapefile from
"GCS_North_American_1983" to "USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic":
SFCOM Reader: Unable to import OGC WKT coordinate system, format is

'ESRIWKT|GCS_North_American_1983|PROJCS[' into an FME coordinate system.

Translation FAILED.
Several other times, I have opened the "Parameters" box for the
Reprojector transformer and clicked the "..." button to browse for
Source or Destination Coordinate Systems, and nothing happens (I can't
pick a coordinate system). I've always eventually gotten the "..."
button to work eventually, but it has taken several tries before.
Has anyone else encountered these problems? I've not had any
problems with Reprojector in FME2006GB.
