Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes listed below upon reading.

Attribute Name

Contents

arcgisonline_type

The type of geometric entity stored within the feature:

arcgisonline_point

arcgisonline_multipoint

arcgisonline_polyline

arcgisonline_polygon

arcgisonline_no_geom

Points

arcgisonline_type: arcgisonline_point

Features tagged with this value consist of a single point.

Multipoints

arcgisonline_type: arcgisonline_multipoint

Features tagged with this value consist an aggregate of one or more points.

Line

arcgisonline_type: arcgisonline_polyline

Features tagged with this value consist of a single line, a set of lines that form a continuous path, or a set of lines that are disjoint.

Polygon

arcgisonline_type: arcgisonline_polygon

Features tagged with this value can be a single polygon, a donut polygon, or a multi-area comprised of single polygons, donuts, or both.

No geometry

arcgisonline_type: arcgisonline_no_geom

Features tagged with this value have no geometry. Features from tables have no geometry, whereas features from layers do.

Attribute Types

This section of the <ReaderKeyword>_DEF statement defines the field types for a layer:

Column Type

Description

esriFieldTypeSingle

Single fields store 32-bit floating point values.

There is no ability to specify the precision and width of the field.

esriFieldTypeDouble

Double fields store 64-bit floating point values.

There is no ability to specify the precision and width of the field.

esriFieldTypeInteger Integer fields store signed integers.
esriFieldTypeSmallInteger Small integer fields store 16-bit signed integers.
esriFieldTypeString(width) String fields store arbitrary string data, up to a specified size limit.
esriFieldTypeDate(width)

A date field stores date and/or time. It is represented as a UNIX timestamp within ArcGIS Online.

FME converts this format to the FME date/time format.
