I have an MXD that has all the layers (3 feature classes) reading from one file geodatabase. I would like FME to change the "Data Source" in the MXD from one geodatabase to another geodatabase. Can FME do this?

Thanks

I use arcpy for that sort of thing.

I was hoping I could add it to my workbench. I guess FME can't "write" to an MXD?

As far as I know, there is only the MXD reader, and it's not available in the professional edition.

 

I use either a pythonCaller, or python shutdown script in my workspace to "post-process" the mxd.

 

Usually it's something along the lines of make a copy of the template mxd, update the sources to the data I wrote out in the workspace, zoom to extent of the data.
