[Workbench_2012] Create a generic conversion tool

Question

Hi there,

I regularly have to make data conversion from MapInfo .tab format to Esri .shp, from a lot of different sources and attributes formatting. So now, instead of always opening FME and make my conversion, i would prefer a generic tool I could call directly from ArcCatalog.

I started to create a new workbench and saved it as a .fme. I created/modified my published parameters, but i still have a problem : how to automatically transfer data attributes from .tab to .shp, as it is done when i make a conversion using the Quick Translator ?

Does my explanation make sense to you ?

Thanks a lot?

Hi,

For these cases safe has introduced the dynamic mode, which reads the input schema and uses it in the writer, allowing the user not to worry about the attributes and lean back.....

This might be a good place to get to know more about dynamic mode.

Hope this helps you to lean back......

Thanks!

I'm checking out this possibility!
