Hello!

 

 

I have what I assume is a basic question that I have not been able to find an answer to in the knowlegdebase.

 

When I select a number of files in a reader and use "Single Merged Feature Type", which attributes are shown in the "User attributes" pane? The files I have selected have some common attributes and some unique, but only a small number of them seems to be shown here. How does FME decide which attributes are shown here, and does the small list reflect which attributes are output? My limited experience with FME suggests that all attributes are also present in the output file, but I would rather be completely certain. Thanks for any answer!
Hi,

 

 

the list of attributes shown is noramally the distinct list of all attibutes found in all feature types read during the creation of the reader.

 

 

Do note, however, that some input formats might have data types that aren't recognized by FME, and as such they won't be listed (e.g. Oracle RAW data types).

 

 

David
