Hello,

I use FME to retrieve some metadatas from various formats and I tried to find a way to get the data source of the datasets linked to a MXD or a Lyr with no result. I suppose FME has the information because he can read the linked datasets...

Is there a solution or I have to directly use libraries like arcpy or ArcObject ?

yup, Arcpy would work.

Have not tried it myself in a PythonCaller, or fme startup script though.

Never tried the ArgisMap reader myself, did you?
