Hi there,

I got a weird error when I attempted to use featurewriter transformer to write feature into SDE dynamically (see the error screenshot below). 

imageCould someone please explain what is the error is talking about? Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Alan

Are you performing an update or a delete on the database? If so you need to set the column which contains the id where updates or deletes need to take place on

Note to self:

(because google brought me to this post)

We had the same problem with the dataset of a colleague.
To solve the problem we found the unexposed attribute fme_template_feature_type:

When using a attribute keeper before the writer, this will not cause any problems anymore.
