FeatureWriter

Writes features to any FME-supported writer. The FeatureWriter can be used instead of a conventional FME writer. Using the FeatureWriter allows post-processing of writer results, such as outputting a report based on the success or failure of the writer.

Input Ports

Any number of input ports can be created either by connecting to the Connect Input port or by editing the transformer properties and manually adding new inputs. Each input port corresponds to one output feature type for the selected Writer.

Output Ports

The number of output ports depends on how the Output Ports parameter section is configured.

Parameters

Writer

Select the Writer format, dataset and coordinate system, including any writer-specific parameters. For details on these parameters, see the documentation for the specific writer in the FME Desktop Readers/Writers help.
