Hi guys,

I have three Excel files which need to be converted into a Esri file gdb as three tables.

As a schema for each of these tables I want to use three other tables which are stored in a gdb. I imported the last mentioned tables as readers and tried to implement their schemas in the writer of the first three tables using 'Schema definition'.

However, I got an error when running the translation

I am doing something wrong?

Which error did you get?

Also, is this going to be static or dynamic? If it's static you can set up your writer, don't add feature types during setup but import them (Writers -> Import Feature Types) afterwards.

Thanks for your answer @redgeographics.

It has to be static. I implemented your suggestion and it works! Great! :)

The pictures below show the steps I followed

 

In this last step I selected the table from the (...)_YYYY.gdb which contains the schema I was looking for.
