This section describes the directives the Geodatabase writer module recognizes when writing raster datasets.
COMPRESSION_TYPE
This directive determines the type of compression to use on raster data being mosaicked.
Required/Optional
Required
Values
LZW | JPEG | JPEG2000 | NONE
Default Value
NONE
Mapping File Syntax
GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_COMPRESSION_TYPE JPEG2000
Workbench Parameter
Compression Type
COMPRESSION_QUALITY
This directive determines the compression quality, with higher values indicating improved quality.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_COMPRESSION_QUALITY 95
Values
Positive integer (default value is 0)
Workbench Parameter
Compression Quality
PYRAMID_RESAMPLE_TYPE
This directive determines the resampling type to be used when generating reduced resolution pyramids on the destination raster dataset.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_PYRAMID_RESAMPLE_TYPE BILINEAR
Values
NEAREST (default) | BILINEAR | CUBIC
Nearest Neighbor is the default value, which provides the fastest output but the poorest quality. Cubic Convolution provides the best quality, but can reduce performance when writing.
Workbench Parameter
Pyramid Resample Type
PYRAMID_LEVEL
This directive specifies the number of reduced resolution pyramids to build. More pyramids enable better performance when viewing raster data using FME and Esri products.
Required/Optional
Required
Values
positive integer
Default Value: 0
Mapping File Syntax
GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_PYRAMID_LEVEL 10
Workbench Parameter
Pyramid Level
