The directives listed below are processed by the Terrasolid TerraScan reader. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the TerraScan reader is TERRASCAN.
DATASET
The value for this directive is the TerraScan binary file to be read.
Required/Optional
Required
Mapping File Syntax
TERRASCAN_DATASET /usr/data/test.bin
Workbench Parameter
Source TerraScan File(s)
GROUP_BY_DATASET
When the value is set to No, the only feature type this reader will use is the reader type name.
When the value is set to Yes, the feature type of each dataset is the filename (without the path or the extension) of the dataset.
Required/Optional
Required
Values
YES | NO (default)
Mapping File Syntax
GROUP_BY_DATASET “Yes”
Workbench Parameter
Feature Type Name(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.
Workbench Parameter
