We are rebuilding our entire GIS analysis platform and are planning to use the esri managed data store for user generated content that is not in official support.
I understand it is a Postgres black box that is managed via esri applications and a few .bat files on the server.
I've used the Portal reader in FME to access some of the features but found it slow.
Is anyone using FME to connect directly to the Postgres database to access the features in the managed data store?
