Hi, 

 

I am using a Geodatabase writer and I keep getting the error:

 

Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.

 

Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `\\\\Vdi-standard103\\data\\LumosM4WMS.gdb\\Line_FPA Multiports' for writing. I made sure there were no locks on the database.

 

 

I'm not sure why this is happening, do I have to pre create the feature classes that I am expecting to be written? that seems like unneccessary work as I have it set to fan out based on a name field in the SQL Server Database.

 

Maybe I'm missing a setting?

 

Any Help is greatly appriciated

 

I guess you need to set the gdb writer path to:

 

\\\\Vdi-standard103\\data\\LumosM4WMS.gdb\\

 

without the name of the feature type.
I thought I did? Here is a screenshot of my settings http://i.imgur.com/G0DGo8B.png

 

 

Ok, in your snapshot,you set the “Overwrite Geodatabase: Yes” , and then you got this error:

 

0.1|ERROR |Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.

 

 

This is a misleading error..

 

The locks still exist...Just make sure you close both opened ArcCatalog and ArcMap sessions before running the script.

 

I made sure of that and tried again, I am still receiving the error. It's driving me insane. Here is the log file

Sami Snunu, I figured it out, it is because the resulting names from the Fan-out contain Spaces. I need to name it this way, I don't know any way around it. Is there any way I can set it to replace the spaces in the name with an underscore?
