Greetings,

I have a weird issue where the ESRI FGDB writer runs with NO error messages.

It writes out to an ESRI Shapefile, but the FGDB has 0 records???

This is the FME output
 
Total Features Read                                                      68587

The output in the FGDB?

Any assistance is appreciated, it is really frustrating.

 

Any warnings in the logfile? In certain cases FME can skip features when writing to certain formats because of bad attribute values or an unsupported geometry. Usually these are logged though so you would have a very large chunk of warnings.


It seems the issue was it was trying to write a field that I had converted to Txt, as Double/Numeric rather than Txt??

Right - yes if the column is defined already in the FileGeodatabase then it wont be able to update the table unless you set the Feature Type/Table to Drop and Recreate rather than just 'Truncate' or ' Use Existing'

There is a big debate that has raged about whether this kind of thing should be an error or a warning...
