FeatureReader is reading all shapefiles together – how can I process them one by one?

Question

Hi,I'm passing multiple shapefile paths from Directory and File Pathnames to a FeatureReader. The FeatureReader reads all shapefiles together, but I need it to process one shapefile at a time before moving to the next shapefile.How can I make FeatureReader read and process each shapefile sequentially instead of combining all inputs?Thanks.

My first question would be “Why?”, but if you need to process the shapefiles separately, you can do that several ways:

Set the FeatureReader’s Output Ports to One per Feature Type.
Expose the fme_basename, which should hold the shapefile name, then filter or group accordingly.

Without knowing more it’s difficult to recommend other ways...
