Reader Directives

The directives processed by the TELEATLASCSV reader are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the TELEATLASCSV reader is TELEATLASCSV.

DATASET

Required/Optional: Required

This is the name of the schema definition file. The default extension of the schema definition file is .def.

An example of the DATASET keyword in use is:

TELEATLASCSV_DATASET /usr/data/csv/input.def

The reader will consequently read from the corresponding data file,

/usr/data/csv/input.csv

Workbench Parameter: DEF file(*.def)|*.def|All_files(*.*)|*.* Source Tele Atlas DEF File(s)

EXPOSED_ATTRS

This directive allows the selection of format attributes to be explicitly added to the reader feature type.

This is similar to exposing format attributes on a reader feature type once it has been generated; however, it is even more powerful because it enables schema-driven applications other than Workbench to access and leverage these attributes as if they were explicitly on the schema as user attributes.

The result of picking a list of attributes is a comma-separated list of attribute names and types that will be added to the schema features. Currently all reader feature types will receive the same set of additional schema attributes for a given instance of the reader.

Required/Optional

Optional

Mapping File Syntax

Not applicable.

While it is possible for FME Objects applications to invoke this directive, the required format is not documented.

This directive is intended for use in our GUI applications (for example, Workbench) only.
