I'm following the guidelines here :
http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_ReadersWriters/FME_Readers_Writers.htm#geodatabase/Writer_Directives_EntGeodbFeatClass.htm
It states that :
This optional directive reconciles all the changes between the version specified by the writer directive VERSION and its parent version, even those edits made outside of the current translation, and then posts the version to its parent. r...] Since reconciling is done for all features including those inserted/updated/deleted outside the current translation, then this directive can be used in an empty workspace to simply reconcile and post a child version to its parent.
So if I understand that correctly, I can have a completely empty workbench except for a writer with the advanced attribute Post and reconcile set to yes and run the translation and it will sync the version and it's parent? Anyway, it's not working (translation is run but nothing has changed)... any idea what I am doing wrong? Did somebody have successfully done a post reconcile by using only a writer?
I'm able to perform the task in arcpy using this snippet (but I want to do it with FME only) :
arcpy.ReconcileVersions_management("path/thisIsMyVersion.sde","ALL_VERSIONS","sde.DEFAULT","owner.MY_VERSION","LOCK_ACQUIRED","NO_ABORT","BY_OBJECT","FAVOR_EDIT_VERSION","POST","KEEP_VERSION","#")
Thanks a lot!
