FEATURE_TYPES wildcard for File Geodatabase

On the GML reader if I leave the FEATURE_TYPES value blank I can read all feature types into a single merged feature type without having to name them in teh workbench.

 

 

I'm trying to recreate this with an ESRI File Geodatabase reader. In this case I only get features back if I have explicitly named them in the FEATURE_TYPES parameter.

 

How can I specify FEATURE_TYPES with a wildcard so that it will read all feature classes in my geodatabase?

Hi,

 

 

Short answer: you cannot, unfortunately. You have to specify "Feature types to read", there is no wildcard.

 

 

You can, however, publish it as a parameter. You can then create a second workspace that uses the "Schema (any format)" reader to dynamically generate this list and pass it on to the next workspace using a WorkspaceRunner.

 

 

It is quite a common question, and there are quite a few posts here on this topic.
