Output Connection

Note: The Data Engineer role is required in order to configure Output Details (see Roles).

The output details connection is used when copying data to a new set of tables or classes in the external data source.

The Copy Input Details button can be used to copy existing details from the Input Details tab.

When data has been written to a data store type other than Oracle or SQL, the results will be available to download by clicking Download for the Destination Files.

When data is read from Oracle and written to FME, if no FME coordinate system is defined, the FME data store will attempt to find one corresponding to the EPSG code. You can specify the CRS to be used in the FME Coordinate Reference System field in the Output Details of any FME data store. It should be set to the short name of an FME coordinate system such as BritishNatGrid. In most cases, it should not be necessary to specify the coordinate system.

Once the Output Details have been entered, Schema Mapping must be performed (see Output Mapping).
