I made SDE connection through Arc Catalog to connect to geodatabase and when I used the reader ESRi geodatabase (Arc SDE), I chosed the created connection file of SDE.

When I tried to select the tables, I got the error as in the below image.

My Arc desktop is initialzed and the license server running.

I installed also oracle client to make the connection file because DB in Oracle.

Which license have you activated in the ArcGIS Administrator?


Which license have you activated in the ArcGIS Administrator?

Advanced Concurrent use

 

 


Which version of FME are you running? 32-bit or 64-bit?

Is the database client a 32-bit or 64-bit version?

What happens if you do the following:

  • Open ArcCatalog
  • Open the Python interpreter from Geoprocessing / Python
  • Type "import arcpy" and hit enter

Any errors or unexpected messages?

Database client is a 64-bit.

 

 

If I do the previous scenario, at the second step the application is closed.

Have you installed and licensed the ArcGIS 64-bit Background Geoprocessing module?

 

It's very important that you verify that you've got all the prerequistes right:

In short:

 

  • If you're running 32-bit FME, you need a 32-bit ArcGIS client e.g. ArcGIS Desktop and a 32-bit database driver
  • If you're running 64-bit FME, you need a 64-bit ArcGIS library e.g. ArcGIS Server or the 64-bit Background Geoprocessing and a 64-bit database driver
Any other combination won't work.

 


Today I face the same issue. Does anyone have a suggestion for solution?

Do you use ArcGIS Pro? I found I need to start Pro if I can't get get an ESRI license related error.


If you are using 64-bit FME, you need the following:

Background Geoprocessing (64-bit) - ArcGIS need to be installed first or

ArcGIS Pro installed

We are using ArcGIs Pro 2.4 on our PC and FME Server and it works fine connecting to GeoDatabase. Don't have ArcGIs installed

Note also: Each user licensing need to be set for Pro, as it works on user level login, and ArcGIS work on PC level licensing
