Hi,
I need to refresh a complete ArcGIS environment in a lab (data and structure).The SDE referentiel. Note that in this lab environment, the ArcGIS environment already exist. I simply drop the schema SDE and other schema that contains spatial data.
I want to use an existing environment (DEV) to refresh it. I think I could quickly export/import the SDE schema and the schema containing the spatial data (AGRMGXD1).
Export (SID=SIGMAD) Import (SID=SIGMAI)
SDE SDE
AGRMGXD1 AGRMGXL1
After importing the data, I must update many tables of the SDE schema because, by example, the column "OWNER" of many tables contains the value "AGRMGXD1" and it must be "AGRMGXL1". I made a script that search all the value of "AGRMGXD1" and replace it by "AGRMGXD1".
Finally, I start the ArcGIS service (esri_sde) and it worked. On my Workstation, I started ArcCatalog and I connected to the schema AGRMGXL1 (it worked too). I can see all the tables I imported. But, when I selected a particular table, I saw the record number but I was unable to see the spatial data (in the preview panel). I've got no error but it doesn't seem to work.
Did I forgot something to do ? Is my way to do it make sense ? Please, let me know.
Yves
NOTE: I know I can do it using SDE commands like sdeexport (from) and sdeimport (to) but it will take much longer time to do it. I would like to find a good and short receipe that work!
