Hi,

 

 

I have hundreds of shapefiles for which I need to transform coordinate systems and I have a custom built transformer to transform the coordinate system. 

 

 

My issue is that each shapefile has a different set of field names.  I don't want to have to link up each input and output manually and have a hundred different workbenches, one for each shapefile.

 

 

I want to be able to bach transform all the shapefiles, but keep the field names the same in each output file as each input file.

 

 

I am using FME 2012 desktop.

 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

HI,

 

 

This is a typical case for the dynamic translation mode (no need to map the attributes) in combination with a writer fan out.

Hi,

 

 

I strongly agree Itay. I believe It's one of the most typical and also effective use cases of dynamic schema functionality.

 

I think learning this documentation will be a good starting point to understand dynamic schema. Example 1 of this documentation is similar to your case.

Thanks Takashi,

 

I have just tried the Dynamic Schema but am getting an error.  Please see my other post
