Partial Data Exort (PDE) - Error while exporting

Problem

If the PDE (Partial Data Export) is started with an SDE database connection, the following error message is displayed:

ERROR while exporting

GEONIS.Core.ErrorHandling.GAssertException: A variable was expected not to be null, but was null (Workspace could not be opened from location.(..)).

Cause

Even if the SDE connection file can be worked with correctly (incl. editing), it is still erroneous.

Solution

Create a new SDE connection file.
