Hi User's,

I have a Workspace that needs to search in ( Folder and Subfolders ) the files in shapefiles Polygon01.shp and Polygon02.shp.

Two differents Folders:

  • C:\\SAFE_Base_Conhecimento\\ZIP_Procura_arquivo\\Files\\Folder_01
  • C:\\SAFE_Base_Conhecimento\\ZIP_Procura_arquivo\\Files\\Folder_02

The Folder_02 doens't has any files, the folder is empty.

When the Wokspace is run a error happened after the transformer FeatureReader. The reason is because didn't find any SHP files in Folder_02.

My question: Its possible to configure the FeatureReader to run and search SHP files without this error? Or has another option before to configure and check if the Folder has any SHP files?

I'm use FME Desktop 2016.

Thanks in Advance,

Hook up an inspector or logger to the Rejected port, or change your Translation Rejected Feature Handling Default to Continue Translation/

Hi @danilo_inovacao if you're able to upgrade to FME 2017.0, the FeatureReader will pass the location without a shapefile through the <Rejected> port (provided you've enabled the option @jdh has mentioned).

Another option would be:

Use a "Directory and File Path" reader to select the folders that contain one or more Shape files (Select files and use the windows path directory attribute and use a DuplicateFilter to get the unique values).

Then feed that folder (with "/*.shp" concatenated to it) to the FeatureReader.

That way you will only pass folders containing a Shape file and not get the error.

This should work for older versions of FME.

Hi @TiaAtSafe, thanks your help. 🙂
