I need to export the Data Model of our entire Geodatabase for an external consultant without the Data and it needs to vendor agnostic format (cant export an Esri XML Workspace for example). In the past I used a package call Geodatabase Diagrammer but it is no longer compatible with current releases of Esri let alone Pro. I was hoping to get some tips on how someone would be able to use FME to do this. I am hoping to be able to produce an XLS with a tab for each featureclass that lists the fields in one column, data type in another, field length, alias, perhaps domain.

Any tips would be very appreciated!

@lopes8​ FME can read the Esri XML Workspace (Schema Only) using the FME XML reader. Then you can structure the output as you need. See the article Export Domains and Subtypes Using the Geodatabase XML Workspace Document Schema Reader and the example workspace

The Geodatabase Diagrammer uses an XML Workspace as input. I wonder if anyone still needs a solution for this.
