I'm doing a fairly straightforward IFC conversion. It runs once correctly and then every time I try it again, it errors out with the below messages. When I create a new writer it works, but also only once. What's up with that?
  • Dataset template source `<Unused>' for writer GEODATABASE_FILE_1 could not be located
  • Dataset template source `<Unused>' for writer GEODATABASE_FILE_1 could not be located
  • f_72(CreationFactory): Dataset template source `<Unused>' for writer GEODATABASE_FILE_1 could not be located
  • Dataset template source `<Unused>' for writer GEODATABASE_FILE_1 could not be located

Hi @clickingbuttons

I'm sorry you ran into this issue. Could you try clearing any values for the Template Geodatabase parameter
under the Geodatabase writer parameters in the navigator pane? That has
resolved the error in the past.

I suspect the behaviour you are
seeing is related to a bug that should have been fixed in FME 2018.
Which version of FME are you using?

It somehow fixed itself over a weekend. Version was whatever comes with ArcGIS Pro 1.8(?).
