Try using the "Generate workspace" function in FME:

It will give you a starting point and you can take it from there.

Thank you @david_r (Partner)​ for your reply .

In fact, i was told to create some FME Workflow to get the KML output, with attributes and so on .

and i am asking how can i do that ? and how to know which transformers to use ?

i really appreciate your help .
