Simulator: Geometries are OK but all null attributes

GregYetman — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:42:14 GMT

Hi,

I have set up a service that roughly follows the GeoEvent tutorial but uses my own data. The Geometries (points) are read in fine, but none of the other attributes come in. After I run the simulator, there are a lot of new GeoEvent Definitions created with names that look like they are coming from the values in my .csv file.

I suspect that the service is not using the GeoEvent definition I created and instead is creating one on the fly for each record it is reading.

Any suggestions?

Greg

I think your guess is exactly right. The input is not using the GeoEvent definition you created.

Go to the Inputs tab in the Manager web pages.

Click the edit button (looks like a pencil) next to the name of your input.

Expand the Advanced section.

Make sure the radio button next to "Incoming Data Contains GeoEvent Definition:" says "No".

Next make sure "Create Fixed GeoEvent Definitions:" is "No".

Now make sure the "GeoEvent Definition Name" has the geoevent definition you created.

Click the Save button

This should start creating the right type of geoevents.
Unfortunately you will have to delete all those other definitions (hopefully there isn't too many).

I had used the wrong name in the definition, that did the trick. Thanks!
