Question

Importing a GDB relationship from an existing GDB

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm trying to move data from a editing GDB environment to a production GDB. Everything else works fine, except when it comes to importing the relationship class for my attachments. I get the error:

 

"Unable to create table/feature class/relationship class of type 'geodb_invalid'. Creation of this type is not currently supported by FME, and must be done through Esri tools"

 

Does this mean I can't import the relationship in FME and should be doing it in ArcGIS Pro?

 

Thank you.

Hi @steveflo​ importing relationship classes from one Geodatabase to another requires a few steps to setup correctly. We have some great articles here on the community that walk through the steps needed to Read and Write relationship classes to a Geodatabase.

 

If you've already run through these articles, I recommend sharing your workspace and some sample data here so other users here can take a look and comment on what might be causing the workspace to fail.
