5. Mind that table handling.
When writing records to
database tables FME gives you a few options - choose
wisely. You can drop and recreate tables, append to tables
or truncate records in existing tables. I often use database
tables as the source for web services. A common problem
is accidentally breaking your web service by dropping a
table with FME, instead of appending or truncating.
6. Ctrl + E.
Highlight and disable whole strands of your mod-
els with this keyboard shortcut. You’ll do this all day long.
BONUS TIP:
I picked up lots of tips and tricks along my short
journey with FME. I learned through trial and error, by asking
colleagues, and by using the Safe FME community. The latter
is loaded with forum postings, FAQs, sample workbenches and
lots more.
