Just found that a workspace I thought was working perfectly is not writing out BLOB attributes. The workspace creates schema attributes and writes out to a geodatabase. Unfortunately, the schema features for BLOB attributes--currently set with native_data_type = blob--are not writing out. So:
- Can FME even write out Blob attributes in schema features to a geodatabase?
- If so, what is the native_data_type to use for a BLOB attribute?
- Is the native_data_type value in the case of a BLOB (or in any case for that matter) case-sensitive?
I have not been able to get FME to read BLOB fields from and existing geodatabase, so I don't have a native_data_type value to inspect. My BLOB attributes in the schema features currently have a native_data_type value of "blob" and an fme_data_type of fme_binarybuffer. Any insights? Thanks in advance for your help.
