I am trying to update a feature class in sde with a new one. Two of the fields in the existing table are not in the new table so I want to add them to my new table. I have tried featuremerger and not getting the results I want. This seems simple enough but featuremerger isn't copying over the additional two fields. One is modified user and the other is a Gazettedate. Any help would be appreciated to resolve this issue.
