I am quite stuck on a problem with the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer in FME 2025.1 and would appreciate any ideas.
I am using the writer in update mode and not updating the spatial column.
The error is only on FME Flow and not FME Form.
 

Error updating feature for the table/feature class '<feature class name>'. Check the geometry of such feature is valid and is not too small for the resolution.

I tried removing the geomerty before the writer since no geometry is being updated - same problem.

The FME Flow Server has ArcGIS Server 11.1  installed rather than ArcGIS Pro 3.3 as on the desktop. [Edited with version numbers ]

The feature class has archiving so I am little nervous updating the records directly with SQL.

Any thoughts?

What versions of ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Pro are installed? 

 

Are you using the new writer format (the package) or the older format?

ArcGIS Server 11.1
ArcGIS Pro 3.3
I didn’t even know there was a new package format for that writer! 
So I guess the old one.

Ignore me, i’m getting confused with the portal writer, not SDE!
