Reader Directives

The suffixes shown are prefixed by the currentin a mapping file. By default, thefor the Esri ASCII Grid reader isESRIASCIIGRID.

DATASET

The value for this directive is the name of a single Esri ASCII Grid file.

The usual extensions for Esri ASCII Grid files are.grdand.asc.

Required/Optional

Required

Mapping File Syntax

ESRIASCIIGRID_DATASET “C:\DATA\ESRIASCII\portland.grd”

Workbench Parameter

Source Esri ASCII Grid File(s)

GROUP_BY_DATASET

When the value is set to No, the only feature type this reader will use is the reader type name.

When the value is set to Yes, the feature type of each dataset is the filename (without the path or the extension) of the dataset.

Required/Optional

Required

Values

YES | NO (default)

Mapping File Syntax

GROUP_BY_DATASET “Yes”

Workbench Parameter

Feature Type Name(s)

SEARCH_ENVELOPE

Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that interact with the bounding box are returned.

If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.

Mapping File Syntax

_SEARCH_ENVELOPE

Note:If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as zero, the search envelope will be disabled.

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Minimum X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, Maximum Y

SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM

This directive specifies the coordinate system of the search envelope if it is different than the coordinate system of the data.

TheCOORDINATE_SYSTEMdirective, which specifies the coordinate system associated with the data to be read, must always be set if theSEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEMdirective is set.

If this directive is set, the minimum and maximum points of the search envelope are reprojected from theSEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEMto the readerCOORDINATE_SYSTEMprior to applying the envelope.

Required/Optional

Optional

Mapping File Syntax

_SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM

Workbench Parameter

Search Envelope Coordinate System

CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE

This directive specifies whether or not FME should clip features to the envelope specified in theSEARCH_ENVELOPEdirective.

Values

YES | NO (default)

Mapping File Syntax

_CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE [yes | no]

Workbench Parameter

Clip To Envelope
