FME Server: "Could not create the File Geodatabase" "ArcObjects is: '-2147467259'"


I've tried searching for this ArcObjects error and couldn't find this issue. My FME workspace works fine on Workbench but I'm having problems with it on FME Server. When I run it on the server it fails and I get this message:

Could not create the File Geodatabase '~'. A possible reason is that you may not have permission to create the Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147467259'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}

What does this mean? I couldn't find this in Esri's list of error codes.

Check that the path used by the writer is valid and that the account that runs the FME Server Engine has the necessary rights to write the data there.

Be aware that if the FME Server Engine runs a local system account, FME SErver will not be able to write to anything on your local network, see https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Running_FME_Server_Engines_Under_Different_Account.htm

@david_r Does this mean that, in this situation, FME Server is able to write to C:\\ but not the network drive I was trying to write to?

Yes, windows services running as local system account are unable to access network resources. This is a security constraint in Windows, so not FME specific.
