RE: [fme] Direct connect to SDE in version 9

Title: Message
Mark,
 
Thanks for the info.  I downloaded the latest beta build today (build 1625) and was able to use direct connect to get to SDE.  I ran a quick test of an export from SDE to a shapefile and it completed successfully.  I will certainly let you know if I have any problems with it, but this is exactly what I was after.
 
One small thing I noticed is that when you are putting in the SDE connection parameters, it still says you need a SERVER value, even though it works without it (using the Oracle 9i connection).  I just put anything in to get by and that worked.  Not a huge deal, but can be misleading.
 
Many thanks again!
 
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott, Chris,
 
Our developers tell me that we do support direct connect in FME2005 betas since last December. The whatsnew.txt (ftp://ftp.safe.com/fme/beta/whatsnew.txt) has a little blurb about the parameters needed to make a direct connection. Look for build 1555 which was when this was implemented. We believe that it will only be able to connect to ArcSDE v 9.0 or newer, although we've not tested it on anything older to prove/disprove this.
 
Be sure to let us know how it goes. Our testing on this has been fairly minimal and we'd appreciate some user feedback ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
 
Regards,
 
Mark

Scott,
 
It was possible starting from ArcSDE 8.2.  At ArcGIS 9 however a valid arcsde licence file will need to be read this can be a licensing issue because of a 2 tier architecture, the licence will need to be read from a tablspace on the database.  A database server usually has many CPU's and ESRI like to cost SDE on the number of CPU's.

Subject: [fme] Direct connect to SDE in version 9

I've found an old message in the FME archives from Don Murray (dated 9-5-2001) stating that FME does not currently support the direct connect option in SDE for version 8.1.  Is this possible for version 9 of SDE?  Is this even being considered or is an SDE service always going to be required to connect?

If anyone has managed to get this to work, I would really appreciate an example!

Cheers,
