Hello. I am trying to extract the history dump for Central America into OSM XML using a Windows machine. I obtained the file central-america.osh.pbf from here:
http://osm.personalwerk.de/full-history-extracts/2014/2014-01-06/continents/
I ran the following Osmosis command (which works fine on an osm.pbf non history dump file):
osmosis --read-pbf c:\data\OSMdownloads\central-america.osh.pbf --write-xml c:\data\OSMdownloads\CAmerica.osm
This immediately failed and it looks like the crux of the error message is:
“SEVERE: Thread for task 1-read-pbf failed org.Openstreetmap.osmosis.core.OsmosisRuntimeException: File requires unknown feature: HistoricalInformation”
Is this an issue with the .osh.pbf file, or am I going about this task the wrong way?
Thanks for any help,
Sterling
