While updating my sde geodatabase the writer in FME is really slow. Does anyone have expierence with speeding this up? The articles I find on performance are not enough to solve my problem.

It updates as much as 1 object per second. And I need to update 30.000 records.

It seems that the old version of the writer is working fine. However, now that I am using FME 2018.1, the writer is much slower.

 

Edit: i must use edit sessions, because of a versioned database

I hope that someone can help me!

Kind regards

Jelle

Are you perhaps using Edit Sessions in your writer? Or regular transactions?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am updating a versioned database. So i have to use edit sessions.

That's a known issue when using edit sessions or versioning settings on the writer, see https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/165/improving-performance-when-working-with-esri-geoda.html

I suspect this is mostly an issue related to the underlying ArcGIS libraries, not so much FME, however.
