How can I keep the attribute types when using the Attribute Renamer ?

I have a simple FME 14 workspace that transforms a Sybase table into an ESRI gdb table with the option that the Writer uses the attributes from the Reader (Copy Attr. From Feature Type). all worked well.

 

 

Now I added a AttributeRenamer to change the name of some (not all) attributes. That leads to a resulting table where all (renamed and unchanged) attributes are chars with length 200.

 

 

So, how can I tell the Renamer only to re-name and not to change the data type ?

 

 

any hint is appreciated

Hi,

 

 

short answer: I don't think you can.

 

 

I'd  love to be proven wrong, though...
