Question

How do I remove a feature dataset from a feature class (SDE to File GDB conversion)?

I've got a Feature Class that I'm reading from and SDE GDB, where it is in a Feature dataset. I update an attribute, then send it to a File GDB Writer (not the API one). This is in FME Desktop 2013.

 

 

This writes the Feature class out, but also writes it into a Feature Dataset in the destination. I would like it just at the top level. Can't figure out how.

 

 

The reader has ignore network and relationshipd set to Yes. The Writer Feature Type has teh Feature Dataset set to "<not set>".

 

 

Ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

 

 

First, expose the format attribute "geodb_feature_dataset" in your input feature typ, then remove the attribute with AttributeRemover and run the workspace again.
