I have been working on a proof of concept to take an Esri XML Workspace Document (exported from Esri), and have a user run a workbench on FME Cloud to convert it into a HTML report.

I finished creating the workbench locally (FME Desktop with ArcGIS 10.6 installed) using the Esri Geodatabase (XML Workspace Document) reader and went to publish to FME Cloud and discovered it won't run since ArcGIS isn't installed on the machine:

Module 'GEODATABASE_XML' is unavailable for use with this FME edition

I looked around and found this article which explains why: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/43509/how-should-we-add-esri-support-on-fme-cloud.html.

 

My question is this - can I use the generic XML reader instead to read in an Esri XML Workspace Document? If so, where do I start?

This is what it looks like with the Esri Geodatabase (XML Workspace Document) reader:

How about using a zipped GDB as the input and a Schema reader with single merged feature type.

This will leave behind domains.

Hi @jon,

Did you have a look at this approach yet?

https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/845/geodatabase-xml-workspace-document-schema-reader.html

It comes with an example workspace that demonstrates how to use the Schema Reader and the XML Reader in combination to read all possible schema elements from an ESRI Geodatabase XML Workspace Dataset.

 

 

Let us know how this goes!

Thanks Gerhard - I'll look into this and see if this is an option.
