A Program I use can't export a GDB but can export a folder with shapefiles. The problem is the names of the attributes are truncated for shapefiles upon Export.

I would like to Set a feature reader to pull all .shp from a folder I set as a parameter. Then I would like to batch rename attributes of the features. But different feature classes have different attributes that may or may not be truncated. When I export my GBD I need to set up the new schema somehow. Any Ideas?

Well since posting this question I have done some more research and the answer is found within one of FME's Tutorials.

Hope this helps anyone with similar questions in the future.
