I'm reading archived tables with the GEODATABASE_SDE format, i.e. with connection file. I'm trying to access the special archive views for this occassion. The ones that SDE creates automatically which has the "_EVW" postfix. Though I cant see them in the list of available geometry tables. I'm connecting as the schema owner with a FeatureReader.
How does this work? Does FME figure that out automatically? For example if I read features from table "SAMPLES", the question actually directs to SAMPLES_EVW view? Or does it work any other way.
I did some tests and created a logger which helped me out with the number of features read.
For one of the tables I got the logger saying that it "Cloned 841467 input feature(s)"
When counting the records in the database I got the numbers:
Table: 840 225
EVW-view: 840 227
Three different numbers is what made me write this question. So how does this actually work?
