Batch process DGN to GDB


Badge

Hi , I'm trying to generate a batch process to convert "n" DGN's to "n" differents GDB's. I know that with the workspaceRunner I could do it , but I don't know how to create different ouputs for any input , Any idea ???.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

You could do it if you expose fme_basename attribute in reader and writer, then check Fanout by Dataset (fme_basename) and then batch deploy all dgn's you want. This will write new GDB's named as DGN's.

Hope that will help.

The trick is to use a single merged feature type for the reader in the workspace that you will use in the workspacerunner. You also can create a published parameter for the writer. Then you can set this parameter in the workspacerunner. A Directory and filepath reader is also handy.
