Renames, deletes, or creates the specified attributes.
Input Ports
Input
Features with attributes.
Output Ports
Output
List of attributes, including any that have been renamed. All renamed attributes will initially appear at the bottom of the list.
Parameters
Attributes To Rename
- The Input Attribute column specifies the attribute to rename.
- The Output Attribute column specifies the name of the attribute to rename the Input Attribute to. If the Input Attribute does not exist and a Default Value is specified, then the Output Attribute will be created and set to the value specified in the Default Value column.
- The Default Value column specifies the value to set the Output Attribute to if the Input Attribute does not exist on the feature. A blank Default Value will result in the Output Attribute not being created if the Input Attribute does not exist.
Usage Notes
- To rename a group of attributes (by changing attribute name case, or adding or removing prefixes to attribute names), use the BulkAttributeRenamer.
- You cannot use the AttributeRenamer to rename multiple reader feature type attributes with different names to a single writer feature type attribute. Only the last reader feature type attribute would actually be renamed. The transformer does not act as a filter to see if the attribute already exists.
