StorageType - ObjectVision/GeoDMS GitHub Wiki

The StorageType property determines which StorageManager is used.

For some StorageManagers the default StorageType is derived from the extension of the filename, configured as StorageName.

When the StorageManager cannot be derived from the StorageName or is different from its default, you need to configure it.

Since GeoDMS 17.0.0 the .shp and .tif extensions no longer default to the GeoDMS specific storage managers, but to gdal.vect and gdal.grid. Both of those are read-only, so a configuration that wrote to a .shp or a .tif on its extension alone now stops with Item has both a Calculation Rule and a read-only storage spec. Configure the StorageType explicitly to write: "shp" or "tif" for the GeoDMS specific storage manager, "gdalwrite.vect" or "gdalwrite.grid" for GDAL. See ESRI Shapefile for the shapefile case.

List of available types:

• for raster data: "gdal.grid", "TIF", "BMP",
• for feature layers, tables and layer sets: "gdal.vect", "Shp", "DBF"
• for direct mapping of GeoDMS data: "fss", "cfs"
• for value <-> file storage: "str", "strfiles".
• to store data using GDAL: "gdalwrite.grid", "gdalwrite.vect"
