Accessing UT data using FME, Python or mxdperfstat didn’t work

Problem:

In spite of installation of the UT Components accessing UT Data using FME or Python
didn’t work. Within mxdperfstat layers to UT data are not drawn. Access using ArcCatalog,
ArcMap or ArcGIS Server works properly.

Cause:

This behavior occurs, if a higher ArcGIS version than 10.6.1 is used. The assemblies of
UT are compiled against 10.6.1. Thus the ArcGIS assemblies are searched in version
10.6.1, but not found.

These application has to be notified, that also higher versions of the ArcGIS assemblies
can be used. During installation of ArcGIS, this is already done for the ArcGIS applications
by settings in *.exe.config. During the installation of UT for ArcGIS these files
are extended or rather configuration files created for UT applications.

Solution:

For external applications like FME or Python also *.exe.config files with relevant configuration
has to be created. If no file exist, then the ArcMap.exe.config can be copied
into the directory next to the *.exe and rename it according the application name. If a
file already exists, then the configuration of the ArcMap.exe.config, the configuration
has to be integrated into the existing one.

Known application configurations:

• fme.exe.config
• fmeworker.exe.config
• fmeworkbench.exe.config
• python.exe.config
• pythonw.exe.config
• mxdperfstat10x.exe.config

Hinweis:

If ArcGIS or UT for ArcGIS are updated, then the configuration files has
to be updated as well.
