Writer Directives

The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the ENTERPRISE writer is ENTERPRISE.

CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE

This directive specifies whether or not FME should clip features to the envelope specified in the SEARCH_ENVELOPE directive.

Values

YES | NO (default)

Mapping File Syntax

<ReaderKeyword>_CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE [yes | no]

Workbench Parameter

Clip To Envelope

DATA_TYPE

Required/Optional: Optional

The optional definition specifies only the type or class of data that the writer will output.

Values:

first_feature

height

clutter

building_raster

backdrops

vector

population_vector

building_vector

"text"

Note: The ENTERPRISE writer can only output one of these types during a translation, and all features will be attempted to be written out as this type, if possible.

Tip: Tip:  If you wish to write out several different types at once, you may consider using FME’s MultiWriter, which will direct each of the ENTERPRISE writers being used to write out a different type.

Default Value: first_feature

If this keyword is not specified, the default first_feature is used. In this case, the data type of the first feature that is passed to the writer determines what type of data the writer will produce.

Example:

<WriterKeyword>_DATA_TYPE vector
