Geocodes addresses using a Proxix Geospatial Enterprise Real-Time (GSERT) server.
Before you use this transformer, please ensure you have access to a Proxix PxPoint web service. See http://www.proxix.com/ for more details.
Features that were successfully geocoded will contain attributes common to all datasets. For the complete list of attributes, see your Proxix representative.
Features that were not successfully geocoded will have _px_matchcode and _px_error attributes added, where _px_error is a human-readable explanation of the matchcode.
The PxPoint User's Guide (C API) provides full details on how to interpret match codes. This document is available through your Proxix representative. In general, the first character of each match code indicates a category of statuses:
| Match Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| U | Failed to find a match |
| M | Two or more matches with the same score |
| A | Matched a discrete address |
| B | A composite of multiple matching records has been created |
| C | No house number match, using closest range |
| F | No house number match, using closest range, and ignored a poorer matching street with a house number match |
| I | Intersection address |
| R | Interpolated in house number range |
Intersections may be geocoded with the following notation in the Address Line: "Fake St. & Imaginary St."
Single line addresses may be passed through entirely on the Address Line; there is no need to manually split up street and city components.
The URL of the Proxix PxPoint web service that you wish to use. The default URL is https://www.proxixnetwork.com/gsert/PxPointGeocode.asmx, which requires a Proxix GSERT account.
The username and password of the relevant Proxix GSERT account.
If this parameter is set to Yes, features will be converted to points in the LL84 coordinate system, replacing existing geometry. The coordinates of the converted points are retrieved from the values of _px_longitude and _px_latitude. Z values will be dropped.
If Reproject to Source is set to Yes, the new points will be reprojected into the source coordinate system. If the source feature have no coordinate system, the new point will be left in LL84. The "_px_latitude" and "_px_longitude" attributes will always be LL84.
