A very simple HelloWorld Custom Transformer for the FME-DotNet SDK.
This sample provides two components, the .NET assembly, and its FME transformer definition file (.FMX) to describe it. See Custom Transformer documentation to learn about it.
It is very simple, it only reads all attributes from input features, and then returns them to output.
- Build and/or deploy the SDK.
- Open the project file, or solution file in root folder, and click build.
If you didn't before, copy the FMEDotNetWrapperFactory.dll file to your FME plugins folder (e.g. %PROGRAMFILES%\FME\FME2017\plugins).
Copy the .NET Assembly and the FMX file to a valid shared Transformers folder.
You can define your own Transformers folder setting MENU -> Tools -> FME Options...
Then, by example:
- copy .\FMEDotNetHelloWorld.fmx "C:\My Shared Resources Directory\Transformers"
- copy .\FMEDotNetHelloWorld.dll "C:\My Shared Resources Directory\Transformers"
or
- copy .\FMEDotNetHelloWorld.fmx "C:\Program Files\FME\FME2017\Transformers"
- copy .\FMEDotNetHelloWorld.dll "C:\Program Files\FME\FME2017\Transformers"
If you want to deploy the Custom Transformer to FME Server, you have to do similar steps.
Create a FME Workbench workflow (.FMW file) with the Custom Transformer, and define the DEBUG configuration in Visual Studio:
Set breakpoints and run it.
