Is there a way (or a script) that can turn off AUs when writing to SDE tables? I have tried the solutions from the below question and they didnt work for me:

https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/95896/how-to-turn-off-arcfm-auto-updaters-using-pythonca.html

I am looking to do this because I get an error when writing to the table from FME server but I dont get an error when running from FME Desktop. I am just trying to try any solution I can at this point.

Thanks.

Which error do you get in FME Server?

What Version of FME are you using.

I have encountered that, even if the 64 bit background processes are installed, ArcFM requires 32 bit FME.

If you are using 64 bit FME all ArcFM processes will fail, because the ArcFM license checker is 32 bit.

Hope this helps.
