Im trying to write a polygon from one polygon to another using FMEs GEODATABASE_SDE writer against a SDE database in SQL Server. Unfortunately Im totally stuck. Everytime i try writing something I get an error saying

Unable to convert value taken from Z_ORIGIN keyword to a float data type.

 

A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details

 

 

This makes totally no sense as I very carefully have removed all posibility traces of anything 3D using both the 2DForcer and in the writers format parameters have anwsered no to if there is any Z values.

 

 

Have anyone the slightest idea whats happening ???

Hi

 

 

Whenever I get weird errors like this, the first thing I try is to install the very latest version of FME. It has happened many times that the error was due to a bug that's already been fixed.

Is this an option for you? I mention this in particular because the early versions of FME 2015.1.x had some non-obvious bugs.

I had this error come up in FME 2018. I eventually rebuilt the writer and the error went away. This was a point feature class with attachments enabled.
