Input Processor - To Read KML/KMZ

[MANESK]

Hi ,

The task is to use GeoEvent Server to read KML/KMZ files (Real Time - uploaded) from a folder and convert them to feature classes.Is it feasible to use an input processor to read a kml or kmz file from a folder?

Hi,

Yes, it's possible. You'll need to create your own connector.

The video I've linked through goes through the detail on how to do that. But basically, under the site tab, in connections. Find the create connector button and create a connector using the File transport , and the XML adaptor, then configure the options based on your needs.

After you've created your custom connector, it will appear when you create a new input with all the other options.

Oops, I misread your post. For GeoEvent to read KML/KMZ they would first need to be converted to a format that GeoEvent could read, JSON, GeoJSON, xml, etc
