I have set up my Geodatabase Writer but can’t write to it. The log file gives me this message: “Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.” even though I’m creating a new file geodatabase within my workflow.
Solved

This error message can happen for a variety of reasons related to either the location or structure of the location set in the Writer. Here’s what I would check:
- Ensure you have the proper permissions to write to that location. Can you create a new file there? You’ll need write permissions to successfully create your geodatabase.
- Try changing the mapped path to a UNC path (i.e.- C:/temp to \\\\PC1\\temp).
- Check if there are any antivirus measurements in place that may affect writing over a shared drive.
