That is a very broad and open question, with a lot of possible requirements and specifics that we don't know about. Generally speaking, you'll need a WFS reader and an Azure Spatial writer, but if course it rarely is as simple as that.

Have you perhaps considered contacting your local (or nearest) Safe Partner for assistance? https://www.safe.com/partners/partner-locator/

yes, I know it is not as easy. But when I am trying it with a WFS reader also the connection is successful but I am not able to fetch data from it.

Any error messages? What does the FME log say?

Hello @adisaxena305​ , why would you want to do this? As soon as you extract data from the WFS, the data is out of date and you are maintaining a copy of the data. I see the benefit of the WFS is that you can read the information, analyze it and leave the maintenance up to someone else.

Yes, it is showing GetRequests error message.

Hi dean,

Sorry I am replying to you late. This is something like my project requirement. I have to extract data from WFS and dump it into Azure Geospatial data base.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Is the WFS a public dataset? If so can you let me know and I will see what i can do with it?​

Hello @adisaxena305​ , what sort of database are you connecting to in Azure i.e Cosmos or are you using an installed database i.e. postGIS?

What connection strings are you using?

I am trying to test various public WFS services and they are working fine sending to PostGIS locally but still researching the Azure side of things.
