When trying to WRITE with the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodatabase API) to an existing file I get the following error:

 

 

Geodatabase Error (-2147024891): Access denied.

 

FileGDB Writer: A feature could not be written.

 

 

Some issues:

 

 

1. The workspace does not FAIL, but completes.Even though the writer gives this error. There is no option on this writer to IGNORE FAILED WRITES: NO

 

2. Why is access denied? I have created a completely new FileGDB from within FME and I am trying to update this.

Access could be denied if you're writing to a location of which you have insufficient permissions. Try temporarily writing to your Desktop.

 

 

It may also be a feature-based problem. Set up a Creator and define a simple supported geometry and write only that feature to a new GDB file. Do you still get Access Denied? If so, it is not a feature-related issue.

 

 

I'd also check that you are writing to a .gdb file. If you were trying to write to a folder, FME may not let you do this.
