Hello,

I have ready procedures to transform from .gdb to .gdb format. They were made for version arcgis 10.4, but now I have version arcgis 10.0 and to work I have to reload the reader and writer. Since this is a lot of reader and writer I would not want to do the procedure again. Is there a possibility of automatically switching from a higher version of .gdb to a lower version of .gdb?

Thanks in advance,

I haven't tried it with this particular use case, but you may want to try using a template file geodatabase, see https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-use-an-esri-template

I have not tried this but I really like the idea!

@maremare​  Did you test your workspaces against 10.0? FME is largely driven by the version of ArcObjects based on the version of ArcGIS installed. So provided you're not doing anything too tricky, your workspaces might run OK. What version of FME are your workspaces developed with?
