Table Registration Issue
Well I broke a table that I have in a our SQL Enterprise GDB. We updated to to 11.5 and wanted to utilize server side binning. When that was enabled it modified the table itself and seems like it updated the registration in the GDB. In the end we did not appreciate the server side binning and went a different route. I…

I've posted a blog post to add context to the project with a brief history and also a look at where we'd like to take it in the future. We know X-Ray was a much-used tool and hope this can help with some of…

"Tag" geodatabase items to filter what you see when you open the connection?
This is kind of hard to articulate but. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to throw everything into a geodatabase, then only show tables that you designate as like, "active"? For example, for one of my file systems, each project, as we get it, has the original files stored in a dated folder, and then the files are copied…

Rename PostgreSQL Geodatabase
Add the capability to rename PostgreSQL Geodatabases. Currently if the PostgreSQL Database is renamed it breaks the sde geodatabase repository because the database name is stored in many tables/rows in the sde repository tables. If the database administrator could rename the database then copies of the same geodatabase…

Enable and disable Archiving in an sde database
Good afternoon, I am running a script that refreshes several layers in a feature dataset in SDE by performing a truncate and append. These layers must stay synchronized, so I refresh them daily using this truncate‑and‑append workflow. My question is whether I should also disable and re‑enable archiving as part of this…

Check OGC compliance for Esri Enterprise geodatabases...is that possible?
Hello, My boss wants me to confirm whether the Oracle Enterprise geodatabase that we have is OGC compliant or not. Along with that I need a way to confirm whether the standard Esri geodatabase is also OGC compliant by default. I checked here: http://www.opengeospatial.org/resource/products/compliant#ESRI The above lists…

WindMil Map Pushing Updates to ArcGIS
Hello, We are currently using WindMil Map applying edits to our electric network. We then need to apply the same edits to a matching file geodatabase feature class for each of the layers edited in WindMil Map. Is there a way to edit in WindMil Map and then push out the edited layer to an ArcGIS Pro file geodatabase so we…

In the Conflict view with traditional versioning, Save button should not resolve not reviewed conflicts
If conflicts are detected during the reconcile process with traditional versioning, we can review them in the Conflict view. All the conflicts are listed and we can review them one by one and choose how they should be resolved. However, if we click on the “Save” button, all the conflicts disapear from the Conflict view:…

Copying domains from one GDB to another
Hi, Does anyone know a good method for copying domains from one geodatabase to another? I feel like this should be a quick and painless task. Thanks,

How Do You Organize GIS Data for a New Project?
Hello everyone, I’m interested in learning how GIS users organize their data when starting a new project. With different layers, shapefiles, geodatabases, and map files, it can become difficult for beginners to keep everything well organized. I recently came across see this while looking into GIS data organization, and it…

Shapefiles Output to scratch.gdb
I have a custom geoprocessing tool built by ModelBuilder. The tool copies some feature classes to scratch.gdb and then join with other tables, finally export to some other feature classes. The tool has been run fine last few year. But exception occurred last week, INFO - 2026-09-25 04:06:08,930 - Traceback (most recent…

Prevent the Default version from being directly edited, only allow Post operations to update the Protected Default version
Currently, editors with an Admin user role or Version Admin role in Portal can edit the Default version directly in ArcGIS Pro even when it is Protected. I, and many users I have worked with over the years, find it too easy to accidentally start editing Default instead of first switching to a version. This is potentially…

Coordinate precision on geom column in postgres database, strange Z values
Hi, we use postgres(14.22) with postgis(3.4.3) for our database backend. I've been looking through our datasets to figure out what we can optimize. I'm looking at how coordinates are being stored. Because x/y/z's are stored as doubles, they have precision to 15 places. As you all know this is far beyond whats needed for…

Error Connecting to Enterprise Geodatabase (SQL Server)
Good afternoon. Our organisation runs Enterprise 11.3. Our data is held in an Enterprise Geodatabase hosted in an Azure SQL Logical Server. For many years we have accessed the data in the SQL database using SDE connections in ArcGIS Pro from various Azure VDIs without any significant issues. We are now looking to enable…

Using database backups to upgrade to 11.5
We are moving off of SQL Server 2016 to SQL Server 2022. These are two different servers. My plan is do database backups from SQL Server 2016 and restore them on SQL Server 2022. Then in some cases upgrade the geodatabase to 11.5 and others we will leave it at 10.9 until the calling applications can be updated. We will…

Allow attachments table to be included in branch versioned editing
Per Esri case 03897472, it is not possible to edit attachment tables via branch versioning. I would like to be able to access the attachment tables in the branch versioned editing service so that I can download and delete attachments without having to unregister the data as versioned.

Weird files in a File Geodatabase (FGDB) that crash custom python script
We have GIS data in users folders going back a couple of decades. I've been running a custom python script that inventories all files and identifies gis file types. It sort of works, but is crashing on a handful of old file geodatabases from 2009 that contain a bunch of weird files I've never seen before. File geodatabases…

Duplicate objectid in Views - Best practise to solve?

I have installed ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.2 on Win 11 but later re-installed. After re-install, I cannot connect to the geodatabase in SQL Server. The error "Failure to access the DBMS server" is shown. But I can connect to the geodatabase by SQL management studio. I have installed SQL Server native client, SQL Server ODBC…

Allow subtypes on multiple fields
Allow subtypes on multiple fields in a feature class. We find that we have several very long domains that would be best divided by using a subtype; however the fields that we would like to use are not related to each other.

Preserve GlobalIDs with arcpy.da.InsertCursor
Hi, Is it possible to preserve the GlobalIDs using arcpy.da.InsertCursor()? I have an SDE database, arcpy.env.preserveGlobalIds = True and when I use Append to copy the data, GlobalIDs come through and match the source datasetas they should. However, if I use arcpy.da.InsertCursor(), GlobalIDs get replaced with the new…

Migrating from file geodatabases to enterprise geodatabase
Hi. My organization is currently relying heavily on filegeodatabases distributed on several network drives, which has been working fine for years. We're considering migrating to a new enterprise solution (ArcGIS Server + Portal and SQL Server). Each year we start approximatly 1000 new projects (and closes other ones) and…
