FME Desktop 2016.1 - Legacy SDE Writer Geometry is Disabled - Geometry not available after copy

I mistakenly truncated the feature class with geometry for a ESRI Legacy SDE. How can I put back the geometry?

I tried to do a direct copy that from a different legacy SDE source for the same feature class.

However, the geometry is still not copied over (my guess is that the Geometry is disabled -- whereas compared to the normal SDE, you can indicate that it is a geom_point). In the FME Data Inspector, it is saying Geometry is not available and shows zero records (but if I query that there are records but no geometry)

How can I solve this issue?

Hi @azajarc, to confirm, when you read in the feature class that has the geometry in the Data Inspector, you don't see the geometry or the features? Which version of FME are you using? Can you see the geometry in ArcGIS?
