Hi everyone,


I’m trying to read the contents of a folder to identify all file geodatabases (GDBs) and the feature classes stored within them. However, when feature classes with the same name exist in different GDBs

, they appear only once in the schema 

Has anyone encountered this before, and what is the best way to handle or distinguish feature classes with identical names across multiple GDBs?

Can I get for a copy of the workbench saved with FME 2025.1, please?

 

 

This is a 2021.2.6 one, that will work for you. Be careful with 2025.1, it has some glitches.
