Running Spatial ETL Tool in Python Script

deleted-user-rmQdIupSdOqe — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:00:21 GMT

How do I run a Spatial ETL Tool I built in an ArcCatalog toolbox in a python script?
General method for other tools is to import the toolbox.
Then:
arcpy.MyTool()

Spatial ETL tools are not showing up as part of the module.

Created a model, embedding the spatial ETL tool within it. Could call this tool in the arcpy module, but it will not run in PythonWin.

Message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 312, in RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__

    #! FME_TYPE="fme_char(width)"
ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 000816: The tool is not valid.
Failed to execute (Step5FMETool).

From ArcCatalog, the tool runs fine.

Suggestions?

Hi

Scripts running out of process in ArcGIS that call the Data Interoperability extension must check the extension out:

arcpy.CheckOutExtension('DataInteroperability')
