I am using FME Workbench 2022.1 along with ArcGIS Pro 3.0. I recently noted an issue when copying data from an AGOL MapService to a local GDB - if the feature class does not exist in the GDB, the Workbench will fail, only reporting "Error running the translation" and no further details in the log file. However, if I create a feature class in the GDB, even without any attributes, and change the writer to "Drop and Create" from "Create If Needed," the Workbench runs. Any Ideas?

Hi @lance, I'm sorry you encountered this issue! I managed to reproduce the problem using an ArcGIS Pro 3.0 license with FME 2022.1 as well. I found a similar report in our system (FMEENGINE-73958) and have referenced this thread to our internal ticket. We'll try informing you here if there are any updates. In the meantime, please try the following workaround:
In the Navigator > Workspace Parameters > Scripting > set Python Compatibility = Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9+
enter some python in the Startup Python Script (Startup Python Script = pass).
Thanks again, and sorry for any inconvenience!

I did a quick test with ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and FME 2025.1.0, but I wasn't able to reproduce the error on my end. If possible, please send your workspace along with some sample data, or a screenshot of your workspace and how you set up the writer. Please also send your log file so I can take a closer look at the error.
