Hi

 

I've set up a workspace to extract certain types of businesses
(a MapInfo point dataset that I have a tester attached to to extract the
types) that lie within an employment area (a MapInfo polygon table).

 

Using the Clipper function, this workspace runs fine and i get a result output into a MapInfo table.

 

The
output table includes all the attributes from the point dataset, but i
want to also include the attributes from the Employment Areas dataset
(only 2 columns, but they're both useful) attached to each record in the
output table.'

 

I have tried many of the Feature, Attribute and
Spatial functions, but cannot get the 2 tables to be merged into one
after the Clipper has extracted the data.

Apologies in advance if
this isn't explained very clearly. Am a new user of FME so am still on a
steep learning curve to understand what to do when when setting up a
Workspace! Hopefully someone can answer my query

thanks

You can try the PointOnAreaOverlayer to do an overlay, although the Merge Attributes parameter in the Clipper transformer should be able to do this as well.

Hi @simonhume, try checking the "Merge Attributes" checkbox in the Clipper parameters dialog.

Next to what @takashi mentions, beware of possible attribute conflicts between the 2 feature types (point and polygons) and use the accumulation mode and conflict resolution accordingly.

Hope this too helps

Good morning all

Apologies for the delay in replying, but your suggestions have worked and i now have the workspace running as i require

Thanks to all for their replies

regards

Simon Hume
