Hello all,

I have succeeded in building a workspace that Reads from Oracle and Writes a fileGDB that includes metadata for the feature layer in the fileGDB. I used an XMLTemplater to achieve this.

I am successful when I use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)

However, I would prefer to use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)

But when I substitute this Writer, it fails to include the metadata for the feature layer.

Is there some setting that I am missing?
Or is this functionality just missing from the Open API Writer?

Hey @nicholas
At the moment, the File Geodb Open API Writer does not support writing metadata. You can read more about its capabilities in this documentation. You may want to continue using the standard File Geodb writer if metadata is critical to your workflow.

However, a potential workaround would be to use Arcpy metadata module in PythonCaller to write the metadata.

Hope this helps!
