Working with Geometry (XY)

post explains how to set x and y coordinates you’re getting from the ArcGIS Shape field properly on downstream output fields.

Here’s a sample workflow, where we’re getting data from ArcGIS and updating an Asset record in Maximo:

In Nash, when you want to use XY coordinates obtained from an ArcGIS Shape field (our geometry), you first need to click the “Include Geometry” checkbox to make sure you’re passing those coordinates along in your workflow.

Next, you need to set those coordinates on your downstream output, in this case in the mapper node. However, when you try to map the input GEOMETRY field, you find that the GEOMETRY field is not broken into X and Y automatically, but shows as one field in the drop-down field menu:

So, you’ll need to manually set those values like this:

${I-1:GEOMETRY.x} or ${I-1:GEOMETRY.y} 

See the image below for another example:

This will allow you to pass the coordinates from the ArcGIS SHAPE field to two separate X and Y fields in Maximo.

Keep in mind this scenario only works when the SHAPE field from ArcGIS is a point.
