Note: Used in conjunction with TransporterSender.
Receives features from another FME workspace running in a different process, which may be located on the same or a different machine.
To transport features from one FME process to another: use the TransporterSender transformer in the source FME workspace to send features to a TransporterReceiver transformer in the receiving FME workspace.
This transformer has no input ports.
Features that have been received from a TransporterSender are output through this port.
Specify how you want to transfer data. The transfer mode must be the same for both the TransporterSender and the TransporterReceiver.
The Initiation Sequence specifies which Transporter endpoint is responsible for establishing the Transport stream (ESTABLISH), and which is responsible for connecting (CONNECT).
Note: The workspace that establishes the transfer mode must be running before the connecting workspace. The transfer mode must be consistent if there are multiple transport streams between two workspaces.
This parameter is only needed by the workspace with the Initiation Sequence parameter set to CONNECT, and only when the workspaces are running on different machines.
One of the primary uses for this parameter will be local to a machine in order to partition large workspaces into smaller components that each have their own address space.
Specify either a port number or a service (for example, http, ftp, telnet, imap, gopher, pop3, www, and smtp are services that are typically associated with well-known port numbers).
The default value is 8586.
This parameter is required only when the Transfer Mode is set to TCP/IP (Attribute).
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
