mapapps_etl_files

The parameter provides the path to all uploaded files, which can be used to read data within the workspace (e.g. FeatureReader, Reader)

Map extent selection

mapapps_etl_extent mapapps_etl_line mapapps_etl_point mapapps_etl_polygon

The parameter provides a bounding box / line / point / polygon as a EsriJSON String, which is usually used as a clipping geometry

Use a GeometryReplacer to create a FME Geometry from the string

Features from the map

The following Parameters are optionally and will be filled automatically if existing:
