Swiss INTERLIS (ili2fme) Reader Parameters

Parameters

ClosedModels

The required INTERLIS models to read the dataset (without extension .ili and separated by semicolons (;).  The default value XTF means that models are determined by inspecting the transfer file.

ClosedModels Folder

This is the folder that contains the .ili files. These files are scanned for INTERLIS models. You may use %XTF_DIR as placeholder for the folder of the data file that you will read. Multiple folders may be separated by semicolons (;).

ClosedTopics Filter

These are the names of qualified INTERLIS topics to read (for example, "DM01.Bodenbedeckung"). You can enter multiple topic names, separated by semicolons (;). If set, other topics will be ignored. This parameter can remain empty: if it is not set, all topics will be read.

ClosedCheck TID/OID Uniqueness

If set to Yes, the reader will check if the TIDs/OIDs are unique. Otherwise, it will bypass this check.

ClosedGeometry Encoding

Defines the encoding of geometry attributes, which are not used as FME geometry (only the first geometry attribute becomes an FME geometry).

  • FMEXML encodes as FME XML
  • FMEBIN encodes as FME Binary
  • FMEHEXBIN encodes as FME Hex Binary
  • OGCHEXBIN encodes as OGC Hex Binary
ClosedCreate Linetables

If set to Yes, ili2fme will create two additional feature types for each INTERLIS SURFACE or AREA attribute: one with the ending "_MT" containing the main table data as it appears in the transfer-file, and one with the ending "_LT" containing the line helper table as it appears in the transfer-file.

If set to No, ili2fme will not create additional tables.

Note: This field applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets with INTERLIS AREA or INTERLIS SURFACE attributes.

ClosedSkip Polygon Building

If set to Yes, ili2fme will not build polygons from the line tables as they appear in the transfer-file. If set to No, ili2fme will build polygons from the line tables and the (geo)-references as they appear in the transfer-file.

Note: This field applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets with INTERLIS AREA or INTERLIS SURFACE attributes.

ClosedInheritance Mapping Strategy

If set to "SuperClass", the superclass inheritance mapping strategy is applied.

If set to "SubClass", the subclass inheritance mapping strategy is applied.

Applies only to INTERLIS 2 datasets.

Note: For more information, see the section titled Inheritance mapping strategies under 'Feature Representation' in the Swiss INTERLIS (ili2fme) Reader/Writer section of the Readers and Writers Manual.

ClosedITF Add Default Values

If set to Yes, the reader will parse the explanation at the end of attribute definitions that are optional. If there is no attribute value in the data, it will add the one given in the model.

If set to No, the reader will not supply any default values to the data.

Note: This field applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets.

ClosedITF Renumber TIDs

If set to Yes, the reader will renumber the objects so that the TID becomes unique across the whole transfer.

If set to No, it will read the TIDs without making any changes.

Note: This parameter applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets.

ClosedConvert ILI AREA to FME Donut

The name of a FME pipeline definition file (.fmi) to be used to build the FME polygons from the line helper table features of INTERLIS AREA attributes and main table features as read from the ITF file.

If the filename is not set, the reader will use a built-in pipeline.

Note: This parameter applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets and if Skip Polygon Building is set to No.

ClosedConvert ILI SURFACE to FME Donut

The name of a FME pipeline definition file (.fmi) to be used to build the FME polygons from the line helper features of INTERLIS SURFACE attributes and from the main table features as read from the ITF file.

If the value is not set, the reader will use a built-in pipeline.

Note: This parameter applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets and if Skip Polygon Building is set to No.

ClosedITF Check Polygon Building

If set to Yes, the reader will test the output features from the polygon building pipeline. If it sees a feature typename that starts with "ERR.", ili2fme will report an error with the value of the attribute "_errmsg" as the message text.

If set to No, the reader will not test the output features from the polygon building pipeline.

Note: This parameter applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets and if Skip Polygon Building is set to No.

ClosedITF Read enum Values as Code

If set to Yes, the reader will read values of attributes of type enumeration as numeric code (the same code as it appears in the transfer file). This option is not recommended and exists only for backward compatibility reasons.

If set to No, the reader will map the code from the transfer file to enumeration element name (the value as it would appear in an INTERLIS 2 transfer file). This option is recommended because it is less error prone and offeres compatibility between INTERLIS 1 and 2.

Note: This parameter applies only to INTERLIS 1 datasets.

ClosedCreate Feature Types For Enumerations

Controls how FME feature types are created for INTERLIS enumerations

  • If set to "No", no feature types are created for enumerations
  • If set to "SingleType", a single additional feature type called "XTF_ENUMS" is created and each element of all enumeration types is provided as a feature of this feature type.
  • If set to "OneTypePerEnumDef", on feature type is created for each enumeration type.
Closedhttp Proxy Host

This is the proxy server that ili2fme will use to access model repositories.

Closedhttp Proxy Port

This is the proxy server that ili2fme will use to access model repositories.

ClosedEnable Trace Messages

Controls the level of detail of log messages written by the reader.

If set to Yes, details progress messages will be written to the log. If set to No, only normal progress messages will be written to the log.
