Google KML Reader Parameters

Specifies whether or not the reader should increase the logging verbosity. Possible values are Yes and No. The default is No.

Specifies whether the images files referenced by Overlay elements should be read as raster geometry.

If set to All, all GroundOverlay, PhotoOverlay, and ScreenOverlay images will be read as raster geometry.

If set to GroundOverlay, then only GroundOverlay images will be read.

Specifies whether or not the reader should scan the KML files for schema elements.

If this box is not checked, KML elements will be read using the fixed schema. KML datasets using the KML 2.1 schema may not be read properly unless this option is checked.

Specifies whether or not the reader should terminate the translation if a network error occurs.

Specifies whether or not the reader should delete temporary files downloaded as part of the reading process.

Specifies whether or not NetworkLink or schemaUrl references to external KML files should be traversed (i.e. to read the referenced document).

If Local is specified, then references will only be traversed if they refer to a file on the local filesystem.

If the value of this parameter is 'Yes', the companion '.prj' and '.wld' files (having the same name as the '.obj' file) will be read to acquire the coordinate system and the data necessary to convert points to the world coordinate system.

Note: In the absence of a companion ‘.wld’ file with the same name as the ‘.obj’ file, a file named ‘global.wld’ will be looked for in the same folder. Similarly for the companion ‘.prj’ file, only in that case we will only look for a file named ‘global.prj’.

Specifies whether or not scaling and orientation metadata in the KML Placemark will be applied to the model geometry prior to being output.

Specifies the maximum depth of the traversal tree.

The traversal depth is the number of links that must be traversed to get from the original file to the root file. For example, if the dataset root refers to DocB, which refers to DocC, the traversal depth is 2.

Determines whether or not use a password-protected HTTP server.

The username when accessing a file on a password protected server.

The password when accessing a password protected server.

Specify the authentication method (Basic (default), Digest, or NTLM) to use when accessing a password-protected HTTP server.

Note: HTTP basic access authentication is a mechanism designed to allow a client to provide credentials to a server on the assumption that the connection between them is trusted and secure. That is, any credentials passed from client to server can be easily intercepted through an insecure connection.

This parameter exposes Format Attributes in Workbench when you create a workspace:

• In a dynamic scenario, it means these attributes can be passed to the output dataset at runtime.
• In a non-dynamic scenario where you have multiple feature types, it is convenient to expose additional attributes from one parameter. For example, if you have ten feature types and want to expose the same attribute in each one, it is easier to define it once than it is to set each feature type individually in the workspace.

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.

Select this option to remove any portions of exported features outside the area of interest.
