ArcGIS 10.05 and FME 64 bit

Hi All,

 

 

I hope I can explain my issue properly.

 

 

1) We upgraded our PCs to Windows 7 (64bit) and upgraded FME 2013 SP4 64bit and using  ArcGIS 10.05, (natively 32bit) (Desktop, Engine etc)

 

 

2) We have large number of workbenches with writers using FILE_GEODATABASE (ArcObjects).

 

 

3) When I run my existing workbenches I get the following error messages;

 

“Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This is a 64-bit version of FME which requires a 64-bit version of ArcGIS Server

 

A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details” 

 

 

4) I changed my writers to use the  file geodatabase (API) and all seem to run fine.

 

 

Questions;

 

 

a) Are there any  issues with switiching my writers to use the file geodatabase (API)?

 

 

b) Any ideas on how to batch change my writers from GEODATABASE_FILE (ArcObjects) to use the FILEGDB (API)?

 

 

Thx in advance,

 

Ken

Hi,

 

 

generally speaking, it is much easier to use 32-bit FME with ArcGIS products, so I'd recommend that if possible.

 

 

See also this page for more details regarding compatibility between FME and ArcGIS products.
