Esri Shape Reader Parameters

This option specifies whether the writer should change attribute names to uppercase text. If the box is unchecked, mixed-case attribute names will be allowed. The default value is yes.

Note: Since this directive is used when generating workspaces and mapping files, it is not editable within Workbench after the workspace has been generated.

This optional specification controls which character encoding is used to interpret text attributes from the shapefile. If the value is not set, then the character encoding will be automatically detected from the source shapefile. If the value is set, it will take precedence over the automatically detected character encoding.

This parameter is useful when the character encoding information stored in the shapefile is missing or incorrect.

This parameter exposes Format Attributes in Workbench when you create a workspace:

• In a dynamic scenario, it means these attributes can be passed to the output dataset at runtime.
• In a non-dynamic scenario where you have multiple feature types, it is convenient to expose additional attributes from one parameter. For example, if you have ten feature types and want to expose the same attribute in each one, it is easier to define it once than it is to set each feature type individually in the workspace.

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.

Select this option to remove any portions of exported features outside the area of interest.
