Duplicate features into another feature class?

( GDB to GDB )

I would like read the features LINE_A and copy their geometry and attributes and insert those into LINE_B feature class, then run it through my transformers before writing. Is there a way to do this?

Example

LINE_A has 2 features. Before my workspace is ran I would like to take those 2 features and insert them into the LINE_B feature class with any attributes that match the schema of both features, then run the workspace with those new features added.

So I'm keeping the 2 instances of LINE_A and just copying them into LINE_B feature class... then running those 2 new features through the workspace.

I looked into the workspace runner, but wasn't quite sure.

Hi @madwarren,

Why don't you just read LINE_A and push it through the transformers as required and then write to a new feature class called LINE_B? That way it's done in one workspace.

Regards,

Hi,

Option 1:

Yes, you can write 2 work spaces ( one to copy and other to translation as required) and use workspacerunner in 3rd script and run both the scripts one by one.

Option 2:

If you are using latest version of FME then have a look at Feature writer...

http://docs.safe.com/fme/2016.1/html/FME_Desktop_D...

Later (in the same work space) you can add the output as reader and use featuremerger such that flow should continue after writing of step 1.

Hope it is clear

I agre with Kam. Writing, workspacecalling or creating a merged featureclass is unnescessary.

Just read both classes and push trough the workspace. Dump redundant attributes if you must.

Thanks @kam , I seem to over complicate what I intend to do sometimes.
