Fanout and zip outcome with FeatureWriter

Hi!

I'm changing my classic readers and writers to use FeatureReader and FeatureWriter transfomers.

One of those writers is a INSPIRE GML that creates as many gml as distintc values has a field. And then, all of them are compressed in a zip file:

I don't know how to do the same with the FeatureWirter transformer. There I only have one text box for the Dataset.

Is there a way to achieve this with the FeatureWriter?

Thanks for any help!

I'm using FME Desktop 2017.

Yes, you indeed only have one text box for the dataset in the FeatureWriter, but you can specify a path including the .zip file

So in this case it makes output.zip containing output.gml. You still have access to the Text Editor if you want to use attributes in the pathname and that will fanout.
