Merging Feature Classes

Hello,

 

I have two feature classes in two different geodatabases.  If I wanted to merge them and end up with one feature class that contains all of the polygons from both of the feature classes which transformer would I use?

 

I have tried Feature Merger but it doesnt give me each polygon but rather one polygon over the whole area.  Would it be easier to write a python script that FME could call?

Hi,

 

 

If you want to just write all the features from the two geodatabases into one feature class with no transformation, basically you don't need to use any transformer. Just connect the two data-flows to the writer feature type.

 

But, if you are using Dynamic Schema, it might be necessary to change feature type name (fme_feature_type) of features properly.
