i would like to create Fme workspace and write automatic the output directly without exporting the data into gdb then add manually to arcmap .
so to write into automatically in arcmap ,will be possible by Esri arcsde writer ?
thanks for help
an ArcMap document (mxd) doesn't store any data. All data is stored in an external location, GDB, SDE, SHP etc.
If you already have a feature class added to the map, then appending new data to it will be shown on the map. If you need to create a new feature class (in a GDB or SDE) or a new SHP, then you're going to have to add it to the map - be that manually or programmatically through arcpy

If i'm interpreting that question as "I want to use FME to create a new MXD with layers already added" then you'll need to use ArcPy (and ArcObject) to create an MXD, write the data out from FME and add the layer.

If i'm interpreting it as "I have a process in FME that creates data, and I want to display this in ArcMap"
Then you can write the data out to a gdb, shp (any format ArcMap supports) and either add it manually, or add it programmatically using arcpy
