changedector match all attributes problem

What does the "Match All Attributes" setting of the Attribute Matching Strategy in the ChangeDetector mean? I have two shapefiles that are exactly the same except that I have changed a value in one of the attributes of one of the shapefiles.

 

 

If I select "Match Selected Attributes" and check the attribute in question, the ChangeDetector does pick up the change.However, when I select "Match All Attributes", none of the features match. Because I'm running this workspace with different feature sources, I want the ChangeDetector to automatically "Match All Attributes".

 

 

Thanks

Hi

 

 

If you specify "Match all attributes" then FME will also match on the OBJECTID etc that are present, so it might not be the best choice for most applications.
