Definitely need to be able to preserve existing GlobalID. This is important for key relationships for relationship classes between features and tables.

Can you elaborate on what you're trying to do?


Hi @ganbaatarp: What version of FME are you currently using? As of FME 2019.0, FME supports maintaining GlobalIDs: https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/61583/esri-global-ids.html


Can you elaborate on what you're trying to do?

I apologize in front if I'm stealing this thread.

Facing the same problem, using version 2018 and primary key/foreign key uses GlobalID.

 

 

Source: Feature class #1 in ArcSDE database using GlobalID as Pk/Fk in relationsship to attachment table.

 

Destination: Feature class #2 in ArcSDE database using GlobalID as Pk/Fk in relationsship to attachment table.

When merging features from #1 to #2, the features created in #2 receives a brand new GlobalID, thus losing the relationship.

Should I place my hope in http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/geodatabase/GEODATABASE_SDE_writer.htm?Highlight=globalid

Or is there a solution using GlobalID as Pk/Fk?

Maybe I should set up a workbench visualizing the problem?

Just got FME 2019, solved all the problems
