Error loading GML file

[HaydenFoley]

Hi There,

I have the Data Interoperability extension installed and can perform a successful 'Quick Export' to GML and then import back again the exported file into ArcMap.

However, I have an externally sourced GML file that simply will not load and returns the error "Error when writing schema: A unique destination feature type name can not be generated for.."

Please provide advice on how I can load  up the below. Does it need to be reformated to a later version of GML. If so what would the new format look like applied to the example below?

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi Hayden,

For some reason the DI is unable to generate unique layers with your GML file.  I'd need to take a look at the GML file to understand why.  Are you able to pass it on so I can take a look?

Hi,

I am having the same problem loading an externally sourced gml file using the quick import tool.  Also get the error message "Error when writing schema: A unique destination feature type name can not be generated for ". Did you find a solution to this problem?

Hi Alice,

Again I'd need to take a look at your GML file.  Are you able to send it to me?  What version of ArcGIS are you using?

Kind regards,

Hi there,

I'd need to take a look at your data and try to reproduce the problem so I can investigate further - are you able to send it to me?

it's good to see that individual issues are resolved, but what is the true solution to this problem I'm facing too?

Hi All

When looking at these GML issues we find that many files are not valid GML.  There can be many reasons, for example:

http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/Error_Unexpected_Behavior/GML-geometries-not-read

You can test any GML/XML with the XMLValidator. You can test GML using the schemas that come with Data Interop in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Esri\Data Interoperability (x86)\xml\schemas\schemas.zip\gml

If you want to test the validity of your files please open a support incident and we'll take a look.

Regards
