I am translating data from a SDE database to a file gdb. For some reason there seems to be a second copy of all my attributes (the upper case attributes in the attached image). I can not access these attributes to remove them. Several of the attributes are dates, I used the date formater to change the format of the date. Unfortunatly the dupliacte attributes aren't getting reformated and are causing an error in the writer. I have never seen an error like this and don't know where to start. Any Ideas?

Hi,

If the uppercase attribute names just aren't shown on Workbench interface, you can expose them with the AttributeExposer, and then you can format the date string, remove unnecessary attributes, and so on.

Hi,

As far as I understand, SDE DB will have attributes in uppercase and gdb will accept in both cases. It might be case that you are processing both case attributes till the writer i.e. file gdb. As @takashi told remove the attributes either by exposing and removing or use attrbutekeeper before the writer and allow only required attributes to writer.

Thanks, using the attributeExposer to expose the upper case attributes and then removing them with the attributeRemover worked. great.
