In my startup script I use an "import ArcPy" in order to create a new version of my ArcSDE database. I changed the Python interpreter to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll.
My code (some "private parts" disguised with <XXXXXX>
import sys
import datetime
import arcpy
import fme
inWorkspace = r'<XXXXXX>BUDATA/ArcSDE Connecties/GABUAPP_AREAALDATA.sde'parentVersion = 'sde.DEFAULT'
versionName = 'GISIBsync_' + datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
arcpy.CreateVersion_management(inWorkspace,parentVersion,versionName,"PUBLIC")To my surprise during runtime it seems as if the startup script is trying to create an Autodesk 3Ds reader (in bold in the output beneath), which is strange since my FME-workspace only contains Oracle Spatial and ArcSDE readers. It also seems that this reader is trying to read the ArcGIS toolboxes (!).
Even stranger: after this unsuccesful creation of a reader, the startup script continues, and finally creates the ArcSDE database version.
