Hi

I am using FME to transfer data from Oracle to PostGIS

For a couple of my tables I don't want to include some fields, however some of the fields to be removed have the same name as fields on other feature types that I want to keep.

Can I specify which table to remove the attribute from in the dynamic writer properties?

Thanks

Hi @jackyd, you can create multiple dynamic writer feature types with different configurations for a single writer, so if you branch the output data flow into two streams according to a condition such as source table name (fme_feature_type), you can write them into the destination dataset with two dynamic writer feature types - one for keeping the fields and another for removing the fields.

Hope this helps.

Hi @takashi,

 

I am translating the DWG file to File Geodatabase and getting problem of managing attributes in Dynamic Writer.

 

I am unable to control the attributes using attributekeeper or attribute remover or any other way.

 

Kindly suggest me a way-around.
