Hi guys,

I have a problem loading arcgis layer to the workbench. After licence is checked out, I've got a pop up error 'FME has checked out an Esri license. The product checked out is 'ArcInfo'. Error occurred while attempting to open the dataset 'C:/Users/Downloads/Albian.lyr'. Did you come across this error before?

Kind regards,

Aleksei.

@gio @NathanAtSafe The problem was that layer contained a mosaic, which is not supported by Esri Layer Reader. For our particular task, I had to convert footprint to simple polygons, then save to layer again and load it to FME to preserve initial geometry.

Hi @abezguzov, thanks for your question!

 

What version and bit-ness of FME are you using (eg. FME 2017.1 64-bit)? Are you using the ArcGIS Layer reader? Would you be able to attach a log file of the translation with the error for troubleshooting?

 

Thanks,

 

Nathan

Hi @NathanAtSafe,

 

It is FME Desktop ESRI Edition (floating) / FME(R) 2014 SP1 (20140325 - Build 14290 - WIN32). Yes, I've tried to use Esri ArcGIS Layer Reader but without success. I'm wondering if it's related to the thing that Esri Layer extension is not defined (as per snapshot).

 

I've also attached the error log.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aleksei.
