I have (another!) newbie question. I'm attempting to set up a workbench whose purpose is to do attribute validation/checking between a shapefile and a feature class in an ESRI SDE geodatabase.
What I need to do is compare attribute existence and some key properties (attribute name/alias/data-type/precision/length etc) between the two datasets. If the attributes/properties are the same, then proceed with some further processing of the shapefile, but if they are different to end processing and generate a basic log-like tabular/text based output detailing the differences.
Is there a particular methodology that can easily acheive this? So far I'm struggling to understand the best way to set up a flow of transformers that collects and examines attribute properties of feature type(s) (as opposed to attribute values on a per feature basis).
Any ideas/suggestions appreciated :)
