FME Form

Last updated 2 months ago

This course is about FME Form. FME Form is for forming data translations and transformations at the desktop level (as opposed to FME Flow, which is an enterprise-level, web-based product).

FME Form consists of a number of different tools and applications. The two key applications are FME Workbench and the FME Data Inspector.

FME Workbench

FME Workbench is the primary tool for defining data translations and data transformations. It has an intuitive point-and-click graphic interface to enable translations to be graphically described as a flow of data.

Workbench is not a standalone tool. It is fully integrated to interact with other FME Form applications such as the FME Data Inspector.

FME Data Inspector

The FME Data Inspector is a tool for viewing data in any of the FME supported formats. It is used primarily for previewing data before translation or reviewing it after translation.

FME Utilities

Besides Workbench and the Data Inspector, there are several other FME utilities.

  • FME Help A tool for browsing through the various help documents for FME.

  • FME Quick Translator A precursor to FME Workbench that is used only for quick translations requiring no data transformation, or for running a workspace without opening it for editing.

  • FME Integration Console A tool for embedding FME functionality into other applications, particularly spatial tools such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Geomedia, and MapInfo.

  • FME Licensing Assistant An application for managing FME licensing.

  • FME Transformer Designer An application for building custom transformers using the Python SDK.

Other FME Form Components

Additional components are also included as part of FME Form.

  • FME Command Line Engine The FME Command Line Engine enables translations to be initiated at the command line level.

  • FME Plug-In SDK The FME Plug-In SDK allows developers to add formats and functionality to the FME core.
