When trying to read a file and write it newly in a particular path, i am facing the below error:- "Geodatabase Error (-2147467259): General function failure. Could not open File Geodatabase table "/*tablename*/""

Hello @anshuhk15​ , thanks for posting! Would you be able to shed light on any of the following topics:

1. What version of FME are you using currently?
2. Are you reading from a FGDB?
3. What format Writer are you using?

It may be helpful to provide a copy of your logfile as well, seeing as how the error message is pretty generic. The goal is to create/write a new FGDB? Best, Kailin.

Hello @anshuhk15​ , I tried to dig into the error message you were getting. There are a number of potential resolutions outlined in this comment thread, not one common solution - reserved word on an attribute, invalid character on an attribute, possible coordinate system issue or even having the File Geodatabase open in another program. It may be helpful to have a look at the suggestions, and if you find one of these methods works for you, please share!

It's still a bit odd that it will work when an old version of the file is already present in the path though.

In the meantime, would you be able to share a screenshot of your workspace and a shot of your writer parameters? Also, have you tried writing with a GEODATABASE_FILE Writer? opposed to the Open API Writer? (or vice versa)? Best, Kailin.

Hello again @anshuhk15​ , oh FME 2012 is quite old now. Is there any chance you try to upgrade your FME Workbench to a newer version? Wondering if you're hitting an issue thats been resolved in newer versions. You can find newer builds on our Downloads Page. Best, Kailin.
