Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get off the ground using ETL processes. I have been impressed with some recent videos that I have seen and wanted to spend time learning more. I found two Esri trainings on ETL and immediately noted that they were both for previous versions of ArcGIS Desktop. I wanted to learn this in Pro, so I forged on in Pro. The first course wasn't too bad. I only found a few differences, but made it through just fine. Not the second: Controlling Data Translations Using Extract, Transform, and Load Processes | Esri Training Web Course
(I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.6.3 and FME 2020.0.1.0 (20200407 - Build 20218 - WIN64)
The first problem I run into is with Adding a Writer. In the Format section, I am told to use this specific format:
format
The only Geodatabase formats available are as follows:
I believe that the correct selection would be the last one. Not sure, but I am pretty sure.
The next part of the problem comes in another section of this training:
When I look for the Drop Table First parameter, I cannot find it in the Geodatabase Writer that I have created in Pro's FME:
If I open Esri's pre-made ETL tool that should mirror the result of my efforts by the end of the training section - and look at the parameters there, I see this:
So - Esri Training's post-exercise completed example was probably created in Desktop 10.5. - I am using Pro.
Am I just seeing the difference in versions, and the settings are right in front of my nose, and I just don't know how to interpret between the two - OR am I just completely lost?
