FeatureReader crashes on reading ArcGIS Pro filegeodatabase

Hello,

as it says in the title: FeatureReader crashes on reading ArcGIS Pro filegeodatabase.

 

For my work I built a workbench were previously data got written to an Arcmap *.gdb which worked flawless. But now since my company is switching to ArcGIS Pro, I'm had to update the *.gdb to the ArcGIS Pro standards to be able to work with annotations. After running it with that updated *.gdb I received errors. After some fiddling it seemed that the issue was resolved. But a few runs later I found out that there were some attributes that I had to alter to the *.gdb to streamline it for later production steps. No probs so far. After doing that, the FeatureReader i use came up with the old attributes, and not the newly inserted. So I thought, I'll repoint it to the *.gdb, after doing so, the workbench crashed…

I've tried different things to find out where the problem lies: Maybe a feature had bad geometry? Maybe to many features? Maybe the *.gdb was corrupted? But nothing I did helped. As a last step I tried to create a new *.gdb in ArcGIS Pro and than try to load it with the FeatureReader… Also instant crash. Oh yeah, the created *.gdb was empty. 

 

Log file shows nothing abnormal, the workbench crashes before it can write something.

The versions of software used are:

FME: FME(R) 2022.2.0.0 (20221103 - Build 22765 - WIN64) (and using FME python 3.10+)

ArcGIS Pro: ArcGIS Pro 3.1.2

Please update to a more recent version of FME. It should be FME 2023.2 or higher. See the notes on FME and Esri versions:

I became aware of the workspace parameter Esri ArcGIS Compatibility setting in the Navigator where you can choose between auto/ESRI Arcmap/ESRI ArcGIS PRO, but unfortunately either setting won't fix the crashing.

Hello @cfdune, thanks for posting and sorry for not reaching out sooner. This doesn’t sound quite right, and I wouldn’t expect this process to cause a crash. Are you able to submit a support case with us, so we can take a closer look at the issue? Happy to help, Kailin.

At my company we work in VDI's and our department has several slightly different VDI's for different jobs. A fellow worker tried it on another VDI than our usual VDI and there it seems to work. So it is probably something underwater what causes this.

After extensive searching, this reaction sums it all up.

The difficulty at my company was that our IT department upgraded ArcGIS Pro to a higher version, but didn't install the compatible version of FME next to it on my primary VDI. And like I said earlier, we work with different VDI's, so that makes it a little bit more complex to update, because of the different things we do here, we sometimes need newer or lower versions of software.  I was in luck that another department was running a lower version of FME with compatible ArcGIS Pro version.

IT has now scheduled to upgrade FME and ArcGIS Pro within a few weeks, and we are to test it first at a dev VDI.

 

@stalknecht You would know it, because you told me in person 😎
