Hi,

 

 

There is no such thing as an "Enterprise Geodatabase" reader in FME 2013, as far as I can tell. Are you thinking of the "Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodatabase)" reader?

 

 

It should be able to read metadata using the "geodb_metadata_string" format parameter when setting the feature read mode to "Metadata" on the reader.

Thank you David.  

 

I see that they mention that it can be done but don't show how to do this.  There are many examples of reading xml from a file (super!) but when reading from a geodatabase using the Metadata parameter it gets lumped into one attribute.  Do you konw how I can explode that xml?  I've played around with all of the xml transformers like flattener, fragmenter and feature mapper but they did not work for me.  

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

 

you can use the XMLFragmenter to split up an attribute containing an XML document into separate features, just like the XML reader. The settings and options are identical.
