Reprojecting error in Spatial ETL Tool

CraigPrisland — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:37:35 GMT

Hello all,

I'm trying to build a Spatial ETL tool that takes multiple shapefiles that are in a StatePlane (feet) projection and imports them into a file geodatabase that is in a Web Mercator projection. Each time I do this, I get the following error:

Reproject: Could not reproject the geometry of the preceeding features: Reprojector - Invalid reprojection parameters

I tried doing this both directly from the Navigator window, changing both the Writer and Reader coordinates as well as creating a reprojection transformer. Neither of these solved this issues.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are able, please email me with a sample of your data and I'll send you back a functioning ETL tool.
I'm using 10.2.1 by the way, but it should work in 10.2.

My email is bharold@esri.com

Greetings,

I realise this is old but I just had a similar issue/same error after reading lat long data from a spread sheet. The resolution was in to insert CsmapReprojector after the reader to reproject before writing out the new data set.

Worked like a charm.

Ran into a similar issue with GDA2020 projected data. The CsmapReprojector solved it.

I have been having the same error when trying to use the Reprojector transformer. I understand that your post is older but am wondering if you were able to find a solution? I am going through the training tutorials that FME-ESRI have provided and any time I try to use this transformer it fails. Any Ideas would be helpful.

Allen

Hi Allen,

I ran into the same issue as you when taking the training (Desktop Basic 2019, BestPractice-Ex1 and again with Desktop Advanced 2019, FMEReview-Ex1 and Attributes-Ex2). I got this same error with Reprojector.

For BestPractice-Ex1, I deleted the Reprojector.
For FMEReview-Ex1, I replaced Reprojector with EsriReprojector, with the following parameters:
- Source Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_!984
- Destination Coordination System: NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_10N
- Geographic Transformation: [I left this blank]
- Geographic Transformation Direction: Reverse
For Attributes-Ex2, I replaced Reprojector with CsmapReprojector.
- The options for Reprojector and CsmapReprojector were similar, so that is probably an easier fix.
- This might work for the other exercises, but I didn't try it.

Thank you for this information. I was not aware that Esri had its own reprojector. Also I did have some success early on with finding the alternate values in ESRI and using them.... example LL83 would work using EPSG:4269, and UTM83 worked using EPSG:26910. However sometimes it would also cause other errors of incompatibility. Again thank you, for the ideas. I will share with my colleagues.

Best regards,

Allen
