Hi
I have used FME workbench (the GUI tool) for a few years and have been
creating FMW files to do translations. With this tool, it has always
been easy to get the transformations done.
Now I need to pass a translation request to FME Server (via QServer).
I have an FMI file set up which defines a source reader (Oracle
spatial) and an FME file which outputs to Shape. This mapping file
works OK, except that I need to constrain the list of attributes that
get written to the shape file. I do not want all the fields in my
source Oracle table.
How can I use the FACTORY_DEF in the FME file to do this ? I used a
sample "2shp.fme" mapping file that came with the distribution to
start with and that got me going. I can see various FACTORY_DEF
entries in there already
FACTORY_DEF * SamplingFactory
FACTORY_DEF * TestFactory
I tried creating my own FACTORY_DEF but that failed. So I added
"RemoveAttribute" to one of the existing FACTORY_DEFs but that simply
removed the attribute value from teh shape file rather than the field
itself.
Can anyone give me any pointers please ? Is there a better way of
doing what I want ? I have been looking at the
FME Functions and Factories document but that isn't helping much. It
is a bit low level - explaining what the functions do rather than how
the thing works.
Thanks
Chris
