Hi,

We have a proces, that converts some schema-less XMLs into MS/SQL. The output definition is set to "Automatic".

It now seems, that later versions of the XML files include more attributes than the original versions. These new attributes are output as-is, but cannot be seen in the workspace.

I've tried to update the reader feature types, but even though the attributes are present in the data files, they don't show up in the workspace.

How can I by default remove all "unknown" attributes coming from the XML files ?

Oughtn't the Attribute Manager have an option for this ?

Cheers.

Hi.

 

That's interesting. Does it still write the extra fields even if you place an AttributeKeeper just before the writer?

Maybe the AttributeKeeper is what you need?
