Business Requirement to Automate Process
Smallworld 4.1 to 4.3 Upgrade
FME Server 2014
SBS Plug-in
Let’s Automate!!
Smallworld GreGG

GreGGNetwork Analysis
FMEServer
Before….
Key Elements…
Spatial Context configuration(only get the data you need)
Logical Field Configuration(use “rich” data-model of Smallworlod to provide key information)
After….1 workspace for Export
….
GIS FME
Entire DBFor each object
All SystemBoundaries
“Hope” System
Entire DBFor each object
All SystemBoundaries
2 Original Workspaces- “what” gets translated
New Workspace using Spatial Datum- “what area” gets exported
"gas_distribution.gd_system.network_extentwhere network_id = '$(NAM)'"
Hope area
GIS FME
New Workspace using Spatial Datum- “what area” gets exported
GreGG Data Requirements355 Third Ave (17 fields in total)
X,Y X,Y
Tracing to Connected Main(1)
Tracing to Connected Main(2)
Key Element: a “Pseudo Field”
programming logic for a named field within the FME Workspace
(ie.)
gd_metergd_service_point_connection_location_fields
Single Pseudo Field in FME…returns 17 GIS fields from 3 different objects

List to allow multiple field returns
Automating (simplifying)the original workspaces…
Exporting:
Spatial Datum (replaced 2 workspaces)
Pseudo Fields (replaced 5 workspaces)
GreGG Smallworld

GreGGNetwork Analysis
FMEServer
Pressure values going back into Smallworld
Automatically removes existing points before inserting newly calculated points.
Import… 1 workspace
Pressure values going back into Smallworld
Pressure Load Point values going back into Smallworld
Benefits and Conclusion
Automated self-serve process on demand
Removal of repetitive semi-manual process
More up-to-date data
Two way connection
Greater usage of FME Server Software
