I’m running a FME script that reads feature classes from a GDB, performs a handful of transformations followed by one inspector, then writes to a new GDB.  

After running the entire workspace, it says the translation was successful.  But that message is followed by: Failed to initialize the reader in the temporary rendering process.  I’m still new to FME, so I don’t understand this error, or what needs to be fixed.  Can anyone provide any insight on this, or how I can troubleshoot this further?  

 

FYI I’m using FME 2023.1.1.1  

I think those errors refer to the visual preview (at least I’ve only seen them occur in relation to that). One way to check this is to inspect your GDB in the FME Data Inspector or ArcGIS.

@redgeographics Thank you! So I pinpointed the Data Inspectors that are giving me this error. I’m not entirely sure why it’s throwing the error though.  The data did write to the GDB correctly.  Other than to remove/disable the inspector completely, is it possible for me to remove/fix this error?

Not really, don’t run with feature caching on is another thing you can do. Sometimes it seems to be related to having to reproject a lot of data to the coordinate system of the background map, so switching the background map off is also an option.

@redgeographics Thank you so much! I will give that all a try!  I am doing a lot of reprojects, so I think you’re probably spot on with your suggestions.
