Hi all,

I seem to have an issue with writing to the Temp folder location (E:\\Temp, in this case). I will get an error like the following -

Failed to write feature data to `E:\\temp\\wb-cache-NSPL_V3.2_ShortName-rUhMFp\\Main_FeatureJoiner_20 -1 24 fo 0 JOINED 0 6641bd2679d46e05f371fbb029766a8cafbc270f.ffsupdating'

 

I've tried creating a new workspace from scratch, renaming it and I am able to copy files to that folder without any issue. I also ran FME Workbench with elevated privileges and as a different user, even with a different Temp location but no success with any of them.

 

Has anyone here had anything like this occur? And if so, is there a known way to resolve it? I've deleted all Temp files and again, no change. All a bit odd out of nowhere!

Thank you

Hi @joe.fme​ I wonder if this could be that there is not enough space in your temp location. You could try following the directions in this article to set a temporary file location for FME to use via the FME_TEMP environment variable and see how that goes for you.

Hi Jenna,

Unfortunately I've tried both the E drive (where the FME_Temp environment variable points to) and C:/Temp but with no joy.

It's baffling, as we have scheduled tasks that are running fine. I'm able to clear the temp folders and have permissions on this particular server running Workbench.

Knowing my luck it's something I'm missing but I've thought of every possibility so far.

I got a bit further just copying and pasting the workspace reader/transformers into a new workspace, but it still threw an error about 80% of the way through (whereas before it was when it was about 30% done)

 

Edit - the C:\\temp issue persists

Error changing to C:\\temp


Hi Jenna, again, I've tried rebuilding the model, reading in the source data for the joins and the Temp environment variable being changed to another drive but no luck. It just seems to be this 1 workbench as well, as the others (thankfully) work fine.

Proper stumped - any input/ideas/spitball something would be much appreciated. Just all boils down to the Temp folder -
