Thanks for this transformer! I was wondering if anyone might have a suggestion for this scenario.
I want to see the updates/adds/deletes that I have made in one ESRI Geodatabase version compared to another version in the same Geodatabase. I used workbench to create two source datasets (one for each version) and then connected them to the original and revised input ports of the update detector, respectively. The transformer does correctly identify all the changes but the only problem is that this can take a very long time because FME basically reads each feature twice (once for each version) and then uses transformers to compare the appropriate attributes. Is there any way that FME can make use of any of the ArcObject functionality with respect to difference cursors? Are there other ways to reduce the number of features that are passed into the update detector?
