When I set a shapefile Reader , i found that it can only read the shapefiles which have the same Feature Type, but i want to load shapefiles with different Feature Type by one Shapefile Reader, how can i do ? By the way, i want to publish it to FMEServer, and i can read the shapefiles upload by website, which may have different Feature Type. How can i do??? Thanks!!

Hi,

1. Place all the shape files in one folder for easy access

2. While adding the reader use *.shp at the end of dataset folder name instead of file name (Ex: C:\\Temp\\*.shp)

3. Use Single Merged Feature Type option instead of Individual Feature Types

Hope this helps
