Hello,

I’m trying to connect hundrets of feature types to different transformers (see screenshot). Connecting them via “Feature Type Connections” window only works if you have a clear mapping/names for your input ports. Connecting them by hand is way to slow and error-prone.

I’m sure there must be a better way.

 

Many thanks in advance.

If you only want to reproject all featureclasses the same way, set it up dynamic. Generic outputport, data and schema features to one inputport in the featurewriter. Set coordinatesystem in the featurewriter, no reprojector needed.

Look for the dynamic workflow tutorial.

As @nielsgerrits said, perfect case for a dynamic workflow

Thank you for your responses so far. What if i want to do something/anything else except reprojecting (as noted in the screenshot)?

Pretty much the same thing: anything you want to do on all features can be done that way and after that you can write it out dynamically.

I see. I haven’t worked much with dynamic workflows yet. this helped a lot, thank you : )

(seems kind of obvious now)

One followup question:

How are the schema features (244 in the screenshot) processed and how are the correct schemas assigned to the individual features (68143 in the screenshot) if all are read as the same feature type?
