When I move feature classes from file geodatabase to ArcSDE using FME, all the embedded metadata in feature classes disappear once they are moved to ArcSDE. Metadata is in the description of feature classes. Please advise what do I need to do to retain metadata?

How to retain metadata when moving files from fgdb to ArcSDE
Best answer by jasper
@david_r Thanks, it worked. For reader (Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)), I used "single merged feature type" to work with many feature classes, in parameters, as per your advice, used "metadata" for feature read mode and then used "geodb_metadata for allowed geometries.
For writer, I used "fme_feature_type" for Feature Class or Table Name.

Untested, but I suspect you'll need to read and write the metadata separately:

I just found that if I copy feature classes from gdb and paste them in SDE using ArcCatalog, I am able to retain embedded metadata in feature classes. Using FME's reader and writer transformers to load data in ArcSDE is making metadata disappear.

try
{
fmeSession = FMEObjects.CreateSession();
fmeSession.Init(null);
}
catch (FMEOException ex)
{
return ex.FmeErrorMessage;
}Hi,
I am trying to create fme session in my application. But, I am getting 'Session could not be created. Path to specified FME core DLL is invalid.' error.
FME2015
Visual Studio 2010
This issue comes after installing FME2020 in my system. I uninstalled 2020 and reinstalled 2015. Still, I am getting the same error.
Any idea how to fix this issue?
