Once created, it will be accessible from the Reader/Writer Gallery.Ī custom transformer is a sequence of standard transformers condensed into a single transformer. Coordinate Systems can be set in the Navigator pane.Ī custom format is a workspace (reader) that can be used to preprocess data, as if it were a data format on its own. FME will automatically try to determine the correct coordinate system from the dataset, for formats that store coordinate system information (for example, Shapefiles). This definition is called a "workspace" and can be saved for re-use later.Įach reader and writer in a workspace is assigned a coordinate system. The FME Workbench canvas is where users graphically define a translation. Running a workspace with breakpoints is a useful way to debug a workspace. Automations are the preferred method for invoking the FME Server Notification Service.Īdding a breakpoint to a workspace connection tells Workbench to inspect the features at that location. Not all formats accept user attributes, and the ones that do sometimes put restrictions on it.Īn FME Server mechanism for receiving, processing, and sending JSON messages. The attribute may have been part of a source dataset or may have been created within FME. User-created information that belongs to a feature.

The act of restructuring the non-spatial component of an FME feature: the attributes relating to the physical geometry undergo a change that produces a different output. The process of connecting source feature type attributes to destination feature type attributes. FME attributes are prefixed with "fme" (for example, fme_geometry or fme_color).

It contains information about the data that is used internally by FME. When writing, it does not necessarily have to exist beforehand, as default values will be applied.Īn attribute that is generated by FME when a source dataset is read. When reading, the attribute will be present in any dataset of that type (although it may be hidden). Format attributes are prefixed with the format abbreviation, for example igds_level or autocad_color.

In this example, the feature type is Zone and the attributes are Name, Owner, and Category.Īn attribute that contains data that is part of the format specification. Individual elements of a reader or writer feature type. An FME Server Automations tool for processing messages between triggers and external actions.
