Connections store authentication information. For general information about sharing database connections, please see Using Database Connections. Note that different subsets of Database Connection parameters are made available in different contexts.  Connection
Select an existing connection, or Add Database Connection to define a new connection. The new connection can be made visible only to the current user, or can be shared among multiple users. |

Note that parameter selection may vary, depending on the format and Authentication method. Name
Entering a descriptive name allows you to easily find the connection in future workspaces. The following characters are not allowed in connection names: ^ \ / : * ? " < > | & = ' + % # Server
Specifies the name of the server hosting the Microsoft SQL Server that stores the GeoMedia warehouse. Database
The name of the database to connect to. Authentication
When connecting through a Windows user account, select Windows Authentication. The database can validate the account name and password using the Windows principal token in the operating system. The user account is retrieved by Windows, so if you choose Windows Authentication, the Username and Password parameters are ignored. Select SQL Server Authentication to proceed with specifying login credentials through the Username and Password parameters. Username and Password
When Authentication is set to SQL Server Authentication, enter the username and password to access the database. |
Text Options
Plain Text
Specifies that features of FME type fme_text are written in plain text.
If this parameter is not selected, the writer formats text objects in rich text format (RTF) to insert the text size as part of the object, since text size cannot be set any other way during translation.
Font Size
Specifies the RTF font size, in points.
GeoMedia Warehouse Version
GeoMedia Warehouse Version
Specifies the version of the GeoMedia warehouse to write to. By default, the writer determines the version of the existing warehouse and writes to it regardless of this setting. If the warehouse does not exist, or the existing version is not supported by FME, the writer creates one according to the version specified.
Advanced
Start Transaction At
Tells the writer when to start actually writing features into the database. The writer does not write any features until the feature is reached that belongs to the transaction number of the last successful transaction + 1. A value of zero causes every feature to be output. Normally, a non-zero value is only specified when a data load operation is resumed after failing partway through.
Features Per Transaction
The number of features to place in each transaction before a transaction is committed to the database.
Immediate write
Instructs FME to immediately write each row of data to the database, rather than batching up writes into bulk arrays. Bulk arrays are normally preferred, as they require fewer queries sent to the database to store the data.
