Hello Felix and Garry, The GEODB_AVG_NUM_POINTS parameter can be set for each feature class you're writing to. Within Workbench, right-click on a destination feature type and select 'Properties...'. Then select the 'Parameters' tab. You will see a empty parameter called "Avg Num of Points". If the parameter remains empty, then the Geodatabase writer uses a default value. The default value used depends on the geometry type being used. Unfortunately, our documentation is not up-to-date and contains old defaults. We will correct this problem. The current defaults are: point: 1 multipoint: 10 polyline: 20 polygon: 40
The parameter only gets used when creating a new feature class; if you're writing to an existing feature class then any value given to this parameter will be ignored. Hope this helps, Philipp Philipp Svehla Developer Safe Software Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of reichert Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 1:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AW: [fme] Re: geodatabase to geodatabase Hi Garry, Thank you very much for your answers.

I tried what you explained using the workspace wizard you were doing using the workspace wizard and had no problems. - You may want to look at the software build you are using. - Pay particular attention to geometry types. - If you have a current AMC I suggest you log a call with [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have attached FME documentation that explains what GEODB_AVG_NUM_POINTS is ... after reading that it seems kind of weird a default of 40 is being set. I had a quick look to see if the format attribute could be forced to a value but you do not appear to be able to expose the format attribute in workbench ... you may be able to in scripting. Anyway, I'm not sure that the GEODB_AVG_NUM_POINTS attribute is used for in the geodatabase anymore as you better parameter controls over the spatial index stuff. -------------------------------------------- GEODB_AVG_NUM_POINTS This optional field specifies the estimated average number of points per feature. It is used in the creation of the spatial index for the feature class. If this configuration parameter is not specified, then a default value will be assigned to the feature class, depending on its geometry type. If the geometry is a point or multipoint, the default value will be 1; if the geometry is a polyline, the default value will be 2; if the geometry is a polygon, the default value will be 4. This parameter must be an integer. For example, if a new feature class called Roads is to be created and we believe that the average number of points for a feature from the Roads feature class will be 3, then on the DEF line for the Roads feature class, we would find the following: GEODB_AVG_NUM_POINTS 3 ------------------------------------------------- Regards Garry --- In [email protected], "reichert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello > > > We just have to convert a geodatabase in a new geodatabase for converting > the datum and projection, but without success, there is always an > error-announcement like > > > > The configuration parameter 'GEODB_AVG_NUM_POINTS' for the feature class > 'xxxxxxxxx' contains either an invalid value (i.e. integer less than zero) > or no value.
