I have a source SDE Geodatabase reader and destination File Geodatabase writer, both with the exact same attributed relationship classe schemas. The File Geodatabase being written to is blank (I’m using a template) and I don’t need to re-establish any relationships, I want to write the records exactly as they appear in the SDE Geodatabase, to the File Geodatabase. I’ve read in feature types using Ignore relationships, making them type geodb_table, and the destination feature types are also geodb_table (though obviously both are in fact attributed relationship classes).

FME (2024.1.1.1) seems to want to recognize the writer feature types as relationship classes, no matter how I define them. I don’t want to have to establish the whole geodb_rel_origin_oid and geodb_rel_destination_oid values since I know what they should be already from the source (and there is no common attribute between the two source relationship class tables anyways). Is there a way to force read and write attributed relationship classes as simple geodb_tables?
