Hi,
I have created a gdb with 2 feature classes, strings and points. But it only works the first time. Every time I make changes to the model and run it again I get errors. I have tried changing every setting but nothing helps. The only thing I can do is create a new gdb every time but that is not the intention.
I usually use the Insert and drop and create settings
Can you tell us what those errors are?
Do you have opened the gdb in any application? Like ArcGIS Pro? Because of it being a file geodatabase, it will be locked when in use so drop and create will not work.
Also, reading and writing from and to the same gdb in one workspace will not work because of this.
and when i say, overwrite existing gdb, then i got the message
Esri’s (not) helpful General Function Failure doesn’t help narrow it down. I’m wondering if the GDB is corrupt.
Are you doing anything with the GDB after the fme process has run? What happens if you load the GDB up in ArcGIS and try create/delete/read the feature classes?
Sorry for the delay but I was on leave
Now I also discovered that it does not write everything to the gdb and I do not understand why.
I have a postgis data, lines where I merge a csv based on an attribute. It just does that, then I want to write both the merged and the non-merged to the gdb but for some reason it only writes the non-merged data. Does anyone have any idea what the reason could be?
And can someone also tell me what the best settings are for a gdb writer with 2 feature classes that are regularly modified.
