I have an FGDB feature class which includes a "DBOperation" attribute with values of INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. I want to assign these to fme_db_operation but when I do this in an AttributeCreator, it gets changed to...

<at>Value<openparen>DBOperation<closeparen>

I've changed the AtrributeCreator to Conditional Value which seems to be happier.

Has anyone else had this experience?

I can confirm using both FME 2016.1.3 and 2017 RC, looks like a bug. Consider reporting it to Safe.

If I use an AttributeRenamer rather than the AttributeCreator it works fine, though.

I agree with @david_r. You should report this to support@safe.com

In the meantime: have you tried using the AttributeValueMapper instead?

Thanks. Yes I thought of that. I wanted to see if it was worth pursuing the idea of storing the db operation as an attribute in an FGDB for later use when updating ArcSDE.

Thanks, will do. AttributeRenamer is a good idea.

 

I've noticed when you create the fme_db_operation attribute, the value box changes to a drop down list of the allowed values. So there's obviously something special happening when setting that attribute.
