I've been trying to automate in ArcGIS 10.1 modelbuilder the batch insertion of contact details into the metadata of datasets.
This page describes the transformation process. After much head banging I manged to get it working. So the next step was too wire it all up to an iterator. As a single folder could contain geodatabases, shapefiles, rasters and dBase files I decided the obvious choice was the Dataset Iterator. The output of the iterator connects to the source metadata parameter of the XSLT tool but when you attempt to run the model it terminates without an error.
If I replace the Dataset Iterator with a FeatureClass iterator it all works and the XSLT tool executes correctly.
Is this a bug as the logical choice is to iterate over a workspace updating the metadata of any datasets it finds whilst the the FeatureClass iterator limits it to only FeatureClasses.
I have uploaded an image and the simple model that does not run, it's a 10.1 toolbox.
