Question

Fan out to feature classes, instead of separate Geodatabases

Hi,

 

I have a rather large workbench that brings features from a SQL Spatial Server and has four Feature Types that use GeoDatabase Writers. I was hoping that there was a way to bring everything into one Geodatabase that will fan out into separate feature classes. Instead it is fanning out based on an attribute, but it is making multiple Geodatabases, instead of writing into one Geodatabase with separate feature classes within it. Is there a way to configure the writers in order to get this accomplished?

 

I attached the log from my last Translation to maybe better express what I am doing.

Hi,

 

 

I guess you are using Dataset Fanout. Try Feature Type Fanout instead.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

In addition for dataset fan out expose the geodb_feature_dataset on the writer and use it in the fanout option.
