The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the GeoRSS reader is GEORSS.
DATASET
Required/Optional: Required
The location of the XML file containing the feed. This can be the path to a local or network file, or a URL.
Examples:
GEORSS_DATASET c:\atomsample.xml
GEORSS_DATASET \\path\to\network\file.xml
GEORSS_DATASET http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/catalogs/eqs7day-M5.xml
GEORSS_DATASET ftp://192.168.80.2/tests/geometry/gml.atom.geomtest.xml
Workbench Parameter: XML Feed
URL_PARAMETERS
Required/Optional: Optional
The value of this directive is only used if the reader is accessing a dataset which is a URL. The value of the directive should be a space-separated list of space-separated name-value pairs. The name-value pairs will be added to the dataset URL. A value must be provided for each parameter name. An empty string ( ““ ) can be used to provide an empty parameter value.
Example:
GEORSS_DATASET http://localhost/trafficdata.xml GEORSS_URL_PARAMETERS province bc city vancouver
This example will result in the reader accessing the following url:
http://localhost/trafficdata.xml?province=bc&city=vancouver
Workbench Parameter: Additional URL Parameters
READER_MODE
Required/Optional: Optional
Specifies which mode the reader should run in. This directive must be set to UPDATE to make the reader run in update mode. If it is set to any other value, or if the directive is not present, the reader will run in normal mode.
Example:
GEORSS_READER_MODE UPDATE
Workbench Parameter: Reader Mode
FEEDSTORE_DB_DIR
Required/Optional: Optional
This directive specifies the filesystem folder which contains the databases storing information about the feeds that the GeoRSS reader has processed. This directive is only read from the mapping file if the reader is running in update mode. If no value is set, the FME temp folder will be used.
Example:
GEORSS_FEEDSTORE_DB_DIR c:\georss_feeds
Workbench Parameter: Feed Database Location
FEEDSTORE_MAX_ENTRY_AGE
Required/Optional: Optional
This directive specifies the age in days at which entries will be deleted from a feed’s database. When the reader is run in update mode, the reader will delete any entries from the database for this feed which are older than the specified value. This ensures the feed database does not become arbitrarily large. If the value of this directive is not specified, or is 0, no entries will be deleted.
Example:
GEORSS_FEEDSTORE_MAX_ENTRY_AGE 30
Workbench Parameter: Max FeedStore Entry Age
FEEDSTORE_ID
Required/Optional: Optional
This directive allows the user to specify which feeds should be treated as coming from the same source. It only has an effect if the reader is run in update mode. When this directive is set, the input file/URL is treated as identical to any other previous read input which has the same feedstore identifier. If no value for this directive is set, it is the same as setting it equal to the DATASET directive.
Example:
GEORSS_FEEDSTORE_ID http://www.safe.com/company/news/rss/rss.xml
Workbench Parameter: FeedStore key id
PROXY_URL
Required/Optional: Optional
Specifies a proxy server that the reader will be use when accessing a URL dataset. The port number of the proxy server can be set in the URL, or by using the PROXY_PORT directive.
Example:
GEORSS_PROXY_URL www.someproxy.net GEORSS_PROXY_URL www.someproxy.net:8080
Workbench Parameter: Http Proxy URL
PROXY_PORT
Required/Optional: Optional
Specifies the port number of the proxy server indicated by the PROXY_URL directive. This directive should only be used if the port number was not indicated in the PROXY_URL directive. This directive is ignored if the PROXY_URL directive has no value.
Example:
GEORSS_PROXY_PORT 8080
Workbench Parameter: Http Proxy Port
PROXY_USERNAME
Required/Optional: Optional
Specifies the username to use when accessing a password protected proxy server. This directive is ignored if any of the PROXY_URL, PROXY_PASSWORD or PROXY_AUTH_METHOD directives have no value.
Example:
GEORSS_PROXY_USERNAME someusername
Workbench Parameter: Proxy Username
PROXY_PASSWORD
Required/Optional: Optional
Specifies the password to use when accessing a password protected proxy server. This directive is ignored if any of the PROXY_URL, PROXY_USERNAME or PROXY_AUTH_METHOD directives have no value.
Example:
GEORSS_PROXY_PASSWORD password1234
Workbench Parameter: Http Proxy Password
PROXY_AUTH_METHOD
Required/Optional: Optional
Specifies the authentication method to use when accessing a password protected proxy server. This directive is ignored if any of the PROXY_URL, PROXY_USERNAME or PROXY_PASSWORD directives have no value. Acceptable values for this directive are ‘Basic’ or ‘Digest’.
Example:
GEORSS_PROXY_AUTH_METHOD Basic
Workbench Parameter: Http Proxy Authentication Method
SEARCH_ENVELOPE
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.
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE <minX> <minY> <maxX> <maxY>
Note: If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as zero, the search envelope will be disabled.
Required/Optional
Optional
Workbench Parameter
Minimum X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, Maximum Y
SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
This directive specifies the coordinate system of the search envelope if it is different than the coordinate system of the data.
The COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive, which specifies the coordinate system associated with the data to be read, must always be set if the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive is set.
If this directive is set, the minimum and maximum points of the search envelope are reprojected from the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM to the reader COORDINATE_SYSTEM prior to applying the envelope.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM <coordinate system>
Workbench Parameter
Search Envelope Coordinate System
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
