For some reason I can not get this to work, and its driving me nuts.

I am using a File & Directories reader in conjunction with a Workspace runner but am unable to get the writer to function correctly. The data is a bunch of shape files (point, line, polygon). The usual method of using fme_feature_type with a dynamic schema does not seem to work. If I use path_rootname for the outgoing file names it does save the files, but they are empty. Any ideas?

 

WorkspaceRunner won't read any features at all.

If you just need to read features from Shapefile files and writer them into the destination dataset with dynamic writer configuration, consider using the FeatureReader instead of the WorkspaceRunnder. You can then use the schema features output via the <Schema> port of the FeatureReader as the Schema Source in the dynamic writer.
