Issues with XMLFragmenter

Hi,

I'm trying to extract XML from the attached file. I'm using an XMLFormatter before hand which extracts the loggerId I need to match to a database table.

I can extract the XML using the fragmenter, but unless I use the 'Merge Attributes from Input Feature' the loggerID is not carried through. If I do this. FME managed to burn through 700GB of my hard drive and then fails due to lack of memory.

Any idea how I can carry through my original XML attributes through to the fragments without having to do this?

First of all, be sure remove the incoming attribute containing the full XML after the XMLFragmenter. Otherwise you'll have a copy of the entire XML document for each feature output by the XMLFragmenter. That can eat up a lot of memory.
