I've created a workbench which has 3 input datasets. I would like to make it as universal as possible. Sometimes my datasets can be divided in to several shape files. If I created the workbench with only 1 shape file for each input dataset, it wont work if I put more shape files per dataset in the "prompt and run translation".
My work around has been to add new readers, but I would like to be able to do this directly with the prompt if possible.
Thanks for any ideas.
Try some of the options available via the advanced brouwser (http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Workbench/Default.htm#Merging_Similar_Datasets.htm%3FTocPath%3DFME%20Workbench|Readers%20and%20Writers|_____4).
In addition, see also Single Merged Feature Type (or Merge Feature Type) option.
