Is it possible to fanout AIXM 4.5? From what I read I need to fanout the dataset but I need to do that based on the feature type not a specific attribute. I basically need FME to write out a seperate xml file per feature type in my AIXM source message and can't see how I can do that with the fanout options.

 

 

I am using FME 2015

I figured it out.
  • I set the reader to be a single merged feature
  • Then removed all the writer feature types
  • Added a new feature type for the writer and exposed the fme_feature_type parameter
  • once the new writer feature type was added i just set Fanout to yes and set the attribute to fme_feature_type
I would have been nice to be able to expose the fme_feature_type and then set the fanout when i initially added teh new feature type but oh well.
