I am using a dynamic reader (WFS) that will have multiple datasets with different attributes going through it.

 

 

Using a dynamic writer , I want to be able to use a wildcard in Attributes to Remove to remove any attribute that has the suffix : xsi_nil.

 

I have been trying to use variations on ' *xsi_nil ' but it doesn't seem to like wildcards , or have I just not hit on the correct syntax?

 

Thx

Hi

 

 

I suspect that this a list of constants, and that wildcards aren't supported.

Hi,

 

 

As David mentioned, I don't think it's possible to use a wildcard in the parameter setting. You may have to read schema features from the source dataset, modify the schema contents ("attribute{}" list), and configure the dynamic writer with this method.

 

Destination Schema is Derived from List Attributes

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
