Hi

I am currently trying to create a web connection in FME desktop but it says the following:

 

Unable to store connection. Please try again

SQL Query INSERT INTO fme_nc_namedconnections (connectionname, username, servicename, connectiontype) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) failed. Error: attempt to write a readonly database

 

This happens with any connection type I try with this particular windows user account. If I log in with a different account, I am able to save the connection, but I no longer use that account and need to run it through this one.

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this please?

 

Thanks

 

 

Sounds like a permissions issue on the file containing the named connections.

I think you are right. Don't suppose you know how to fix that?


Have you checked what the Default Paths are set to in options?

Depends on your OS and your network configuration, as well as what you're allowed to do (your own permissions). I suspect the best solution would be to talk to your IT support people.

Is it the fme_privatekey.jceks file that it is saved to? If so, this user has full control of the file according to explorer
