Automated Migration of ESRI Geodatabases Using XML Control Files and FME

Efficient data migration is a critical challenge in geospatial data management, especially when working with complex data structures. This presentation explores an automated approach to migrating ESRI Geodatabases using FME and XML-based control files. A key advantage of this method is its adaptability: changes to the data model are seamlessly incorporated into the migration process without requiring modifications to the underlying FME workflow. By separating data model definitions from migration logic, this approach ensures flexibility, reduces maintenance effort, and enhances scalability.
