Hi - There is a requirement to read ArcSDE Enterprise Geodatabase from FME engine and transform to Oracle spatial. Need the details of the readers which can be used.

In addition to @mark_1spatial excellent reply, you will also need to install an Oracle client (either full or instant client) on the machine where you intend to run FME. More info here.

To read the SDE data, you can either use the SDE30 reader (which does not need an ArcGIS license, but has a few limitations) or the GEODATABASE_SDE reader (which needs an ArcGIS installation with a valid license). More info here.

According to this http://www.safe.com/fme/format-search/ I think you'll need the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) reader which needs the Esri Edition licence for FME Desktop, and also Esri installed on the same computer. To directly write to Oracle Spatial SDO geometry you would need an Enterprise Database Edition licence, which looks like it also includes the option to read Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb).

What edition do you have?

Thanks Mark for the pointers. We are currently using the FME Desktop Oracle Edition license. Is there any plug-in available that can be used with this FME Desktop Oracle Edition license to read Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)?
