If you want to try transforming your data, note that you'll need two
Set SRS
steps, one on
each side of the
SRS Transform
step, to ensure you have the correct spatial ID going into
and coming out of the transformation.
Moving on in our example, let's set the singular SRID we need for this data. Double-click the
Set SRS
step to open its dialog; you should see the following:
Figure 34: Configuring the Set SRS Step
For the
Set SRS on field
drop-down, select the correct field to set the geometry on. Usually
it is called
the_geom
in a shapefile. In the
EPSG Code
field, select the correct spatial ID for
the data. In our case, it will be SRID 4326 (WGS84). You can look through the drop-down list
to get an idea of how many SRID coordinate spaces there are. Rather than looking through
the entire drop-down list, you can simply type
4326
.
Once you've set the SRID, click
OK
to confirm the SRS settings.
The final step is to set our
Table output
and associated database connection. Double-click
the
Table output
step to open its configuration dialog as shown in the figure that follows.
Note that I've already filled in the connection and target table details.
