Hello FMErs I'm trying to set up a translation in FME Workbench for periodically syncronizing Oracle 10g database from ESRI geodatabase (SDE) but I've got some problems. I am using FME 2007RC and ArcGIS 9.2.
First one is about domains in geodatabase. My dataset contains many feature classes where a number of attributes have domain attached. Exposing <attrname>_resolved attribute works well in simple case, when domain is attached directly to a field (via Fields tab of Feature class Properties in ArcCatalog). Unfortunately most of my domains are connected to attributes via Subtypes tab in ArcCatalog, as I often need to connect different domains to the same attribute for different subtypes of a feature class. It seems FME cannot resolve such domains via exposing <attrname>_resolved. Am I overlooking something really obvious? Are these kind of domains supposed to be resolvable in FME? Second problem is really an enhancement request. At first I intended to use UpdateDetector, but noticed that all my polygon features were marked as 'updated' (really they weren't). Updated features for lines were identified correctly. It turned out FME had reversed polygon ring orientations when first loading data into Oracle as described in FMEPedia (http://tinyurl.com/yujhwp). I managed to get over this problem via some SQL in SQLExecutor but wouldn't it be good if FME included a 'semantic comparer' transformer to give me only modifications beyond the semantic translation (changing orientation in my case)?
