Hi

I keep getting this error while my workbench in FME Server is trying to get to a zipped file geodatabase.

748Unable to connect to the File Geodatabase at 'C:/ProgramData/Safe Software/FME Server///resources/data//_Automatiseringar/DATA_GEOPIPE_GEOPARK.gdb.zip'. Make sure the correct filename was specified, and that the geodatabase wasn't saved with a newer version of ArcGIS than the one installed locally. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147024893'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}747Installed ArcGIS version is '10.7.1'746An ArcGIS license is already checked out. The product checked out is 'Advanced'745Opening the Geodatabase reader744Notice - Performing envelope query on the `GEODATABASE_FILE' reader, post-filtering spatial predicate in FME743Performing query against GEODATABASE_FILE dataset `C:/ProgramData/Safe Software/FME Server///resources/data//_Automatiseringar/DATA_GEOPIPE_GEOPARK.gdb.zip'

 

I am not sure how to handle this. Even though I point to the right zipped file in the proper resource folder is still complaining.

Help!!!

Hi,

Could it be that the user running the workspace doent have the right permissions to access the gdb?

Hi @itay

That could be the reason, but I have tried to give the right permission to access the gdb but it doesn't work quite well...

Thx anyway for your words!

Hi @felipeverdu1,

Can you specify why it is not working? and what permissions are set ?


Hi @felipeverdu1,

Hi again @itay

I think I finally solved it throught restart of services (FME Server). I needed to this several times and this is weird...but I think it is working now.

Hi @felipeverdu​ 

I had been getting the exact same error message. The workbench worked fine in Desktop, but then failed with that message in Server. I was pulling my hair until I accidentally looked at this line (Desktop log):

 

'0.2|INFORM|Connected to the File Geodatabase at 'C:\\Users\\<myUserID>\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\FME_TempFileStore_1596819757681_29032\\dsGEODATABASE_FILE_4_1596819757682_29032\\MB_Facilities_HighPressurePipeli_1596819757682_29032\\MB_ENHHPL_GDB_LL83.gdb', which somehow looked to me as a quite long string.

 

The name of the zipped geoDB I was providing was 'MB_Facilities_HighPressurePipelines_IHS.zip'. The name of the workbench, FWIW, was also quite long: 'HS_FacilitiesHPPipesLPPipesGasFranchiseAreas_BCABSKMB_2_FileProcessor.fmw'.

 

In my case, simply shortening the name of the ZIP geoDB to 'MB.zip' made it finally work in FME Server.

 

As I see it, in my particular case at least, it was simply a matter of FME Server enforcing some max. string length rules and truncating the resulting file location string. Once I shorten some of the strings used internally by Server to build the file location, everything works.


Hi @jordimonk​ 

Thanks for your comment. I believe we solved the problem enabling long file path support. See the link below.
