We are getting an error while running FFS writer: Failed to write to file 'C:\\Users\\use\\AppData\\Local\\Temp "Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file, and that sufficient disk space is available"

 

This should be a simple merging of .SHP file (3221) into a single FeatureClass in a GDB. The Reader set to read .shp in Single Merged Feature Type. Got a GeometryValidator set to degenerate or Corrupt geometry "Edit". A Tester to get the read shapes and then the GDB Writer.

 

We have and checked that the user is admin on the box and folders, so Think the issue room for the temp file. this is running on a Server where c:\\ only has OS on it and not much space left after that.

 

So can we run in a way that clears the Temp location after so many record run, or can we move the Temp to a larger drive??

You can set the FME_TEMP environment variable and point it to a secondary drive/folder. For performance reasons, do not point it to an external drive or to a network drive. An SSD would be optimal.

The link does cover how to set FME_TEMP in Ubuntu. Is there not enough detail?

I was actually able to get it configured and it was working great.  Then I decided to upgrade workbench and the 2024 version is ignoring the FME_TEMP setting.
