Use a user selected feature layer in an ETL tool

MattHowe

I'd like to create a DI workspace where the user can select a layer in the current map, then take that layer in the workspace and run some ETL processes on it. Is it possible to create a user parameter that would allow this?

It could be a feature class, or shapefile and so is dynamic.

Hi Matt, yes this can be done. Create a layer file then use the Esri ArcGIS Layer reader, set to point at the LYR or LYRX file. Definition queries are honored, it's a really great workflow.

@MattHowe is you want to take it up a notch and see the results of your ETL tool, you can read on Bruce blog on how to add results on the current map.
