Question

FeatureWriter zip shapefile only contains dbf

Hello,

I am using FME to create several zipped shapefiles (Not SHZ). And when I set my FeatureWriter to "PATH\\@Value(Tbl_Name).zip", the output folder is zipped but only contains the DBF file and nothing else. I am open to other suggestions on how I should be doing this.

Thanks,

Ben

Sorry about that. It appears that they did not upload earlier. The log file is in the zip folder.

I filtered out areas to be passed along. It still only produces a zip of the dataset with just the dbf file in the folder.

If I have the featurewriter output to SHZ, and then I open that, it contains all of the appropriate files.

Please, try to put Inspector on transformers before the transformer FeatureWriter, and check the results on FME Data Inspector - if there are geometry.

Hello, Did you do this test with Inspectors?

I ended up reworking the entirety of the workspace.
