How to add filename as attribute of shp file in FME?

Question

I'm not familiar with FME, so normally I only use auto-generate.

Because I need to extract the filename and put it as an attribute in the shp file, so I try to add the transformer like this.

But the ouput file is duplicate data like this

How do I fix that?

Answer 1

In your dataflow you have split the data into two streams so you are writing each feature twice.

To fix:

1. Remove the connection between your reader and the geometryfilter.

2. Change the output of the filename extracter to connect into the geometryfilter.
