Attribute type message when opening 2016.1 Workspace in 2017.0

I've just opened one of my 2016.1 Workspaces that reads a ShapeFile in 2017.0 and some ArcSDE layers and writes to 2 File Geodatabases (FGDBs). I got the following message in the translation log:

Attribute type 'fme_char' not found in ATTR_TYPE_MAP. Trying 'fme_int8'

 

Attribute type 'fme_int8' not found in ATTR_TYPE_MAP. Trying 'fme_int16'

I've still got 2016.1 installed so I'll run the Workspace in that, but I'd appreciate any explanations of what this means. I'll try re-creating the Readers and Writes in 2017.0 when I get a chance.

Have you tried re-creating the File geodatabase writer in FME 2017?

I have a PR with Safe. Some things got broken in the File geodatabase API.

Might be related.

And I should have read the last lines of your question a bit more carefully.

 

Let us know if re-creating worked.

Thanks. However the Writers in my Workspace are File Geodatabase (ArcObjects) so maybe not the same problem...

The same thing happens opening a 2016.1 Workspace in 2017.0.1.1 (32-bit and 64-bit). Does @erik_jan or anyone else have an update on this?

My Workspace does 2 things:

1) Reads a ShapeFile, processes it and writes out various File Geodatabase layers using the File Geodatabase ArcObjects Writer.

2) Reads several ArcSDE layers using the ArcSDE Geodb Reader and writes them to a backup File Geodatabase, again using the ArcObjects Writer.

Most fields are data type Char, with some Double and a few Integer and Smallint.
