At the moment, the FME script extracts a dataset from ArcOnline and creates a new document with a filename of the previously edited date. Now, I want to have the data imported into Google Drive using a GoogleDriveConnector. However, when doing so, it creates multiple copies of the same document in the drive.

Furthermore, when using a Creator instead of an excel reader, I am greeted with this line: Features not written - verify feature type fanout/dynamic settings.

 

I was wondeirng if anyone could help me with this issue. Thanks!

Hi @jimbob0513,

If I've understood correctly, you are wanting to upload the Excel file to GoogleDrive - correct?

If so, you'll want to use a FeatureWriter instead of the regular Excel writer. This will allow you to write to Excel, and then process the written data afterwards.

I would suggest reviewing this article about working with the FeatureWriter. After the FeatureWriter in your workflow you'll want to connect a GoogleDriveConnector to the Summary port, and then specify the attribute that holds the file name & location of the Excel file.

Hope this helps,

Andrea
