I have ArcGIS 10.8 with 64bit Background processing installed and am using the latest version of FME Form (FME(R) 2024.1.3.0 (20240927 - Build 24627 - WIN64))

I want to read data from an ESRI File Geodatabase with the Esri Geodatabase reader and writer and am having sporadic compatabilty problems. At the moment I cannot read from the geodatabase but I can write to it. Other times, I can’t write to it either.

I have set the translation parameter to ESRI ArcMAP.

I have also reinstalled ArcGIS 10.8 and this morning I updated FME Form.

I have also realised, that after the problem arises, if I restart FME I can write to the File Geodatabase again.

Why am I still having problems?

There is compatibility issue between your versions, refer to this link, you should downgrade your FME Version:

  • Enterprise 10.8 → 2022.2
  • Enterprise 10.8.1 → Latest 2023 version (2023.2.4)
  • ArcMap 10.8 to 10.8.2 → 2021.2

Thanks for the Info. Can I save my workbench to an earlier version? I put in about two weeks work into this project!

 You can have more than 1 version of FME installed at the same time, just install it in another folder(ex: FME_2024, FME 2023...)

Then make a copy of you workspace, open it in the earlier version, there will be some missing transformer that you will need to recreate, but you can have it open in the 2024 version so you will have it on the side so you can refer to it. Some transformer will be missing because of the version of the transformer, but if there was no update to this transformer done in between the version they will still be present.
