I am using ArcGIS 10.3 with Data Interoperability. I am creating new attribute fields within my processes but the data will be loaded later so I need to define the data type parameters within the workbench prior to data load. Some of the attributes will be strings (varchar) of various lengths and some will be integers or dates. I cannot find AttributeManager as an option within DI. Is there another way of defining the attribute fields?

If you don't have the AttributeManager try looking for the AttributeCreator instead. DI tends to be an older FME version so perhaps the one you're using doesn't have the AttributeManager.

Also note that the actual attribute type is set on the writer, so that's where you really need to specify this.
