Failed to initialize the BDS feature layer writer

Kristofer — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:43:35 GMT

Hi Team,

I have recently installed and configured the latest ArcGIS Velocity Beta version. I successfully created an Analysis, and under the Analysis workflow I am attempting to create a new layer using the Output option.

I selected “Store data in spatiotemporal feature layer” to create a new layer. However, after completing the configuration, I receive the following error message:

“Failed to initialize the BDS feature layer writer.”

As a troubleshooting, I have checked the spatiotemporal datastore is working fine.

Could you please help me to resolve the issue

Thanks & Regards,

Kristofer

Hi @Kristofer - This issue typically speaks to a certificate configuration issue. We'd be happy to take a look and help, but first can you post this within the early adopter community so that its not lost? That's where we're curating feedback and have several members of the product team ready to review this further and assist. Thank you!
