GEODATABASE_FILE (File GDB ArcObjects) format greyed out


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi,

I am using FME 2017.1.0 (Build-17539) 64 bit on windows 10 64 bit.

I am unable to use GEODATABASE_FILE writer, when i am trying, i am getting the following error message:

The "Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb ArcObjects)" format is unavailable because it has unmet dependencies. Please check that FME and your installed, licensed ArcGIS are both 32 bit OR both 64 bit. Then contact http://www.safe.com/support if the problem persists.

I have installed ArcGIS Pro as well on the same system. (Screenshot attached).

Please help me with this issue.

Hello @dheeraj,

Unfortunately, this can be a tricky issue to troubleshoot as I believe we check for Esri licenses/libraries via the registry. I do have some preliminary steps that may provide us with more information.

 

1) This article provides ideas for you to try: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/315/geodatabase-formats-missing-greyed-out-or-have-unm.html

 

2) Are there or have there been any other Esri installations on that machine? ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Server?

 

3) ArcGIS Pro is licensed on the computer correct? I noticed from your screenshot that you were signed into ArcGIS Pro, I just want to verify that it is licensed.

 

4) When ArcGIS Pro was installed, was it installed using 'Me only' instead of "all users"? If so, try re-installing using "all users".

 

5) Do you have the ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability extension installed? If so, could you try running it and seeing if you can access the File Geodatabase formats(you should be able to with opening the Data Interop through ArcGIS Pro).

 

If you are able to use the File Geodatabase Open API format while we troubleshoot this issue, it may allow you to proceed with your work. As a note, the Open API format does have reduced functionality as opposed to the File Geodb format. More information regarding the Open API format can be found here:http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/filegdb/filegdb.htm?Highlight=geodatabase" target="_blank">http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/filegdb/filegdb.htmhttp://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/filegdb/filegdb.htm?Highlight=geodatabase

Hi @trentatsafe,

Are there or have there been any other Esri installations on that machine? ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Server?

- Yes, Arcmap (32 bit) is also installed on same system.

ArcGIS Pro is licensed on the computer correct? I noticed from your screenshot that you were signed into ArcGIS Pro, I just want to verify that it is licensed.

-Currently, i am using trial license, with the same login..its working on some another machine.

Do you have the ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability extension installed?

No, Data interoperability extension is not there but its working with same login credentials in another system.gdb-issue-3.jpg
