Description

With FME 2012 it is now possible to make use of an Esri XML workspace document to generate a complete geodatabase at the same time as writing features to some of the feature classes. This allows you to copy domain, subtype definitions, relationships and network information and annotation symbols from one Geodatabase to another. It also allows you to build feature datasets and feature classes but only write features to a selected few of these.

It is all done with the new Geodatabase writer parameter "Template File"

A video demonstation of this process is available in this Evangelist posting

See how this geodatabase



is built with this workspace - which only writes to the City Grid Feature Dataset and the ADDRESS_POINTS feature class.
