Thanks for the quick response. The problem is that I don't have an ID field that is unique to each record, and I cannot create one due to security constraints on the source data. I did manage to get around this by using the ArcSDE Querier without a Where clause and using Delete. This deletes all the records in the source dataset prior to it being written to.
 
Thanks Again,

Mike

Hello .. Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dude.

You must have an ID-field that always stay the same, otherwise there is no
chance that FME knows which objects that "are the same one".
You set the UPDATE-fields in the output settings for each featuretype in
your Workspace.

Good Luck.

Ämne: [fme] Replacing records in an ESRI GDB

I am merging 3 existing shapefiles into 1 ArcSDE feature class. This will be
a batch process that is run each evening. I would like to replace all
exsiting records each time this is run. The problem I am having is that I
cannot use UPDATE to do this, as the ObjectIDs will never match. How can I
replace all of the recors in this feature class without re-creating it each
time?
