I'm trying to write a new FGDB to a network location using FME Sever. In FME Desktop it writes out fine. In FME server the error message is:

 

Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified. Could not open File Geodatabase dataset for writing

 

FME server has write access to this location. It will write feature classes to an existing FGDB, but it wont create a new one. I have tried both the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) and Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb) writers.

 

Any idea's why it works in Desktop but not in Server?

Hello @oshkosh_gis​ ,

I thought the FGDB could be locked by another application, but in my tests that error has a different error message: "Geodatabase Error (-2147220947): Cannot acquire a lock.".

I suspect it actually is FME Server not able to reach that directory.

To test this, you can try to write a simple text file with FME Server and see if it has trouble with this.
