Scaling ArcGIS & FME Relationship Mapping with Data Virtualization

Understanding the “why” and “where” of your data shouldn’t stop at the GIS portal. In this sequel to our session, Automating ArcGIS Content Discovery with FME, Kieran O’Donnell returns to demonstrate how Ripple has been re-engineered to bridge the gap between ArcGIS and FME using Data Virtualization.

By shifting to a Data Virtualization framework, you can now traverse the entire data lineage – mapping the hidden dependencies between ArcGIS layers, the FME Workspaces that power them, and the raw data sources beneath. Learn how to move beyond basic metadata to achieve true cross-platform visibility without the overhead of additional data movement.

You’ll walk away with insights into:

• Visualizing how FME Workspaces and ArcGIS content interact in real-time
• Why running directly on virtualized layers is the future of FME-driven discovery
• Navigating from a GIS application down to the specific FME logic that feeds it
• Using relationship mapping to prevent “broken links” and streamline system-wide updates
