I experience this error while trying to load from shapefile reader to ArcGIS SDE on the FME server.
SHAPE Reader: Dataset `D:\\Apps\\FMEServer\\Data\\xxxxxxxxx.sde' lacks the required extension `shp'
Any ideas please? Thanks.

Unable to read SHAPE file

A .SDE file is a connection file to a SDE database. It's not a shape file that's should have the .shp extension. Are you trying to read a geodatabase through SDE or do you want to read a shapefile?
Reading your question again I think you point to the wrong file for the shapefile reader.
Hi @fmeuser_gc,
Which reader are you using for reading shapefiles? There are several readers for ESRI formats so you might have to use another reader.
"Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb ArcObjects)" reader for featureclasses in file gdb's
"Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)" reader for SDE databases ("Esri ArcSDE" seems like an older version but maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can clarify this)
"Esri Shape" reader for shapefiles (featureclasses outside a database).
Hope this helps.

This is not the best answer yet. I still have an issue running it in server.
