FME Tip of the Week
When translating data from one format to another, the format you are writing to may have different requirements for capitalization, such as Oracle, which is all uppercase. If doing a direct translation, you can right-click on the connection line and select Auto Connect Attributes to quickly map the attributes. Optionally, you can select Replace Link with AttributeManager.
Happy FMEing!
