Tip for young players: don't have ArcGIS open whilst running the script, or else you'll get a lock error with the output gdb.</P><P></P><P>So I have achieved my desired output, however I would still like to know why I cannot get the&nbsp;'<EM>WFS to Feature Class</EM>' tool in ArcGIS to perform the same function as FME.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Feb 2017 05:47:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/sdi-questions/error-executing-wfs-to-feature-class/m-p/845251#M18 JustinOdell 2017-02-27T05:47:24Z
