Published Parameters and FME Server
Published parameters in workspaces used by the FME Server help in two ways:
- Any FME Server client can query the Workspace and find out what parameters are available
- When FME Server runs a workspace, any published parameters can be set dynamically
Below are a number of parameters available in FME Workbench specifically intended for use with FME Server.
Feature Types to Read
This parameter can be published for any reader and lets end users specify which feature types to process in a workspace
Generic Writer
The generic writer allows us to create a workspace that writes to any format. When you add this writer to a workspace it automatically creates a published parameter called:
- FORMAT_GENERIC
Reader Search Envelope
By publishing the reader search envelope parameters in a Workspace, the FME Server services can run workspaces to read features within a specified envelope. The search envelope parameters should be published using the following syntax:
- bboxWest
- bboxNorth
- bboxEast
- bboxSouth
Search Envelope Coordinate System
Most database readers allow us to specify the coordinate system of the search envelope coordinates. By doing this end-users can specify a bounding box that is not the same coordinate system as the source data
