Hi,

 

I am looking for a way to add attachements (pictures, pdfs ect) to a point layer published to Esri Enterprise using FME Flow.

 

Does anyone managed to accomplish that?

Hi ​@marta.podsiad First thing to set is to enable attachments on the layer.

Hi,

I think I wasn't clear enough (my bad).

 I'd like the users to use FME Flow to add points and drop attachments (jpg, pdf ect) to the layer that has been published to Esri Enterprise. I have a workbench that allows users to add points, but the attachment part is missing.

Gotcha! NP. That’s just the first step. I have done this a few times and forget to enable the “Enable Attachments” and then scratch my head as to why it isn’t working. For an existing FC there are a few transformers that handle it really well. Key is to have the Object ID from the feature you want to make the attachment.

if reading in a bunch of pics and they are rasters in the workbench it is important to use the temppathname and write out the file to a jpeg format and use that path to upload the file(below) If you have a list of files from a known location and they are jpeg i think you can skip this step and just use the file path (in flow). Hope this helps!
