FGDB to EGDB

[JoeBorgione]

ArcGIS desktop 10.5.1; ArcGIS 10.3.1 (EGDB) and SQL 2014.

I've encountered a very strange situation and after beating my head against the computer screen for much of the day, I'm at wits end.

I have a script that used to truncate an existing feature class in an EGDB and then append fresh data from a FGDB source feature class.  I discovered it isn't working so set out to see why.

Boiling down the past five hours, I can not in any way shape or form move the FGDB feature class to the EGDB. When I try just the append geoprocessing tool, I get an 'unspecified error'.  When I look at the original target data feature class, it has 

Shape.STArea() and Shape.STLength()

while the source data has (fgdb) has

Shape_Length and Shape_Area

I created an empty feature class in the EGDB, importing the schema of the source data and still get the Shape.ST####() fields; If I try the no test option with append tool, I am not given any option to map the the shape fields, and  it bails out.  Using the test option, the process just seems to hang and then eventually bails out with a ton of WARNING 000597 which says:  

000597 : Failed to insert input record with FeatureID <value>.

Description

A record/feature from the input could not be inserted into the output table/feature class due to problems with one of the field's values. Potential causes for this are

• The input record's text fields contain values which are longer than the output field.
• The input record fields contain <NULL> values, but the output or target field does not allow NULL.
• The input feature's geometry has problems (run Check Geometry on the input).
• The input feature is outside the allowable extent (x, y, z, or m) of the output feature class.

A few have ERROR 000224:

000224 : Cannot insert features.

Description

The tool failed to write records to the output feature class or table. This error is typically the result of mismatched field definitions between incoming features and the output feature class or table.

I tried a Feature Class to Feature Class out of desperation, and it bails out as well with 'unspecified errors'.

The login I'm using is an admin connection so permissions shouldn't be an issue.  

For a free taco, who can tell me what the heck is going on?

The only thing I've seen on Esri Support Services webpage for the Error 000597 code resolution for failure to insert input records was to enable auto growth on data files of geodatabase in the RDBMS.  So question - is your auto growth enabled?

[JoeBorgione]

I'll look at that in the morning...

Joe, have you run either the check or repaired geometry tool on the FGDB featureclass?

[JoeBorgione]

Matthew Dobson‌ no I haven't, but I had seen that mentioned in my searches....

[JoeBorgione]

It appears that we found the problem:  the FGDB feature class has a much larger spatial extent than that of the EGDB feature class.  This is a very convoluted and complex workflow that we inherited; in the workflow, the FGDB feature I was using, gets clipped to a reasonable extent.  Once I point my script to the clipped feature, everything is happy.  

See the last bullet under the description of error 00597.
