The list attribute on the input feature that provides the set of textual property descriptions which form the request query.

If the list attribute contains a single element, and that element is an integer, it will be assumed to be the transaction ID of a previous query. In this case, a request will be performed to retrieve the results of the query corresponding to the given transaction ID.

If Point is specified, the submitted query will result in a set of points representing corresponding well locations. If Polygon is specified, the query will result in a set of polygons representing the area described by the request.

Name of the attribute that contains the legal property description for the output feature.

Name of the attribute that contains a unique numeric identifier for the completed transaction.

Name of the attribute that contains any error messages for the completed transaction.

Number of times to resend the query if results are not returned after the time specified by Number of seconds to wait between tries.

Note: Queries involving deferred results are not currently supported, and may result in an error.

Time, in seconds, to wait before resending a query if results are not returned from the previous query.

The web service host name to send the query to. The query is sent to the web wervice host using basic authentication over an HTTPS connection.

Note: For access outside of your network using a proxy server, use the Network tools in FME Options. From the FME Workbench menu, select Tools > FME Options > Network. For more information, see "Network" in the FME Workbench Help.

The username and password for authenticating the connection to the web service host.

Defining Values

There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters.

Using the Text Editor

The Text Editor provides a convenient way to construct text strings (including regular expressions) from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and constants, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.

Text Editor

Using the Arithmetic Editor

The Arithmetic Editor provides a convenient way to construct math expressions from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and feature functions, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.

Arithmetic Editor

Conditional Values

Set values depending on one or more test conditions that either pass or fail.

Parameter Condition Definition Dialog

Content

Expressions and strings can include a number of functions, characters, parameters, and more.

When setting values - whether entered directly in a parameter or constructed using one of the editors - strings and expressions containing String, Math, Date/Time or FME Feature Functions will have those functions evaluated. Therefore, the names of these functions (in the form @<function_name>) should not be used as literal string values.

Content Types

String Functions	These functions manipulate and format strings.
Special Characters	A set of control characters is available in the Text Editor.
Math Functions	Math functions are available in both editors.
Date/Time Functions	Date and time functions are available in the Text Editor.
Math Operators	These operators are available in the Arithmetic Editor.
FME Feature Functions	These return primarily feature-specific values.
FME Parameters	FME and workspace-specific parameters may be used.
Creating and Modifying User Parameters	Create your own editable parameters.

Table Tools

Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.

Note: Not all tools are available in all transformers.
