I have an SDE file I created in ArcPro that works in ArcPro, but whenever I try to add it as a reader in FME (Data Interoperability, ArcPro version 3.2.1) I get a simple error of “MULTI_READER reader: GEODATABASE_SDE reader: An unknown expectation occurred.

I tested other SDE connections and they work fine in FME and ArcPro. I have tried generating a new SDE file and connecting with an embedded connection and an database connection in FME. 

Any other ideas on how to get this connection working? Also, it was working until this past weekend. This is a new issue we have not had before. 

Hi @achambers 

Which version of SDE and FME are you using? 


Hi @achambers 

This issue may have been fixed in a later version of FME. You can download the latest version on our downloads page. Are you able to test on 2024.0 to see if you can connect to the SDE?
