Question

I am attempting to transform a feature class from a SDE geodatabase to a new feature class in a different geodatabase.

I have items that are not necessary to move from one geodatabase to another. I need to exclude certain items in the source geodatabase.  For example Feature Class 1 has attributes a,b,c,d  I need to generatea new  Feature class based on feature class1 with attributes b and c. 
  1. Open up FME Desktop
  2. Via the File menu choose New
  3. Ensure Generate Workspace is selected on the right hand side
  4. Choose your Readers and Writers and where you're reading from/writing to.
  5. Click OK
  6. Two brown boxes (Feature Types) should be connected to each other on the screen now
  7. Double click on the Feature Type on the right-hand side.
  8. Select the User Attributes tab
  9. Select and delete the attributes that are undesired
  10. Click OK
  11. Run the translation
Hope this achieves what you're after.
You may also have to make manual connections between the fields from your reader to your writer if they and not named and formatted the same.
