Writer Overview

The ENTERPRISE writer creates and writes feature data of a single type (Vector, Clutter, Heights, etc.) into a single folder specified by the DATASET directive. The folder need not exist before the translation occurs. Any old files in the folder may be overwritten with the new feature data without warning.

The type of data that will be written by FME is determined by what is selected in the data type drop-down list in the ENTERPRISE settings box. If first_feature is selected, the first feature routed to the ENTERPRISE writer by FME determines the type of data that will be written and all subsequent features will be written out as that type, if possible. Each of the other options corresponds to the selected ENTERPRISE feature type being written out.

Note: Types enterprise_vector, enterprise_vector_point, enterprise_vector_line, and enterprise_vector_polygon may all be written to the same dataset.

ENTERPRISE only supports a limited set of coordinate systems. Please consult your ENTERPRISE documentation to ensure that you are writing data using one of the supported coordinate systems.
