Question

I work for a water utility which has addresses in a billing system and load them into GIS feature classes in a dataset in versioned geometric network .sde database.

The water utilities meter site addresses are in our billing system. This information is daily pulled into a MS SQL server table. I would like to use FME to take the MS SQL table address information and load this table into four feature classes that are in a dataset in a versioned water geometric network .sde database. This .sde database is reconciled and posted nightly. I have worked with versioning and how to best accomplish this. Any suggestions are welcome.

Utility Network uses Branch versioning, which requires you to create a Portal Feature Service in order to update data.

You can use SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader as input to read the table, and Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service as your destination, requires you add a Web Connection Authentication to your Portal first, from menu Tools > FME Options > Web Connections.

 

Also you could try setting both Readers and Writers to Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) format, but for the writer you need to set the parameter Transaction Type: Versioned Edit Session.

Thank you for replying. I think I created a confusion on my part. We are currently using the geometric network, not the utility network. With that being said, do you have additional thoughts to share?

Oh I see.. sorry for the confusion,

In that case, then my second suggestion should be working for you.
