I am experiencing an error when reading AGOL feature services that are publicly available as REST services and writing them locally to a file geodatabase.
I am using the Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service reader and the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb) writer. However, I am having an issue where the translation fails when writing to the file geodatabase.
To clarify, I have no issues reading the data into FME however when writing to file geodatabase I get a single error message in the translation:
2020-06-16 12:02:03| 4.0| 0.0|FATAL |GEODATABASE_FILE writer: An unknown exception occurred
Attached is the workbench:
Data source: the AGOL REST service URL I am reading is here: https://services1.arcgis.com/8CpMUd3fdw6aXef7/ArcGIS/rest/services/Parcel_Service/FeatureServer
Trouble shooting this issue found:
- I am able to write to shape file with success for the most part
- However I've observed that when writing to shapefile in some cases some fields are written with no values and in small number of cases the fields are not written at all.
- I am able to write to an FME Feature Store (.FFS), then read that back in and then successfully write that to a file geodatabase with no errors.
- I am able to successfully read/write a different REST service to a File Geodatabase with no issues.
- I tested it with this service available from the same agency: https://services1.arcgis.com/8CpMUd3fdw6aXef7/ArcGIS/rest/services/MapIndex/FeatureServer
Work around: is to write to a .FFS then to a file geodatabase.
Is this a configuration issue with the REST service or is the issue on the FME side? Any suggestions are appreciated.
