database will not register by folder

eddiequinlan

Hi all,

I'm trying to publish some maps to the server 10.1. When they are "analyzed" they show that the data is not registered with the server. I then go to the folder and register the data. It says the data is registered, however, when it's "re-analyzed" it gives the same error. If I go to each sub folder in the catalog tree and register them, then it's ok. In the documentation it says when you register a folder, all sub folders are registered too. This doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

On a similar note:
Also, when I try to register any folders in the data stores which are accessed via a share I keep getting "Invalid folder location. Unable to access this location". I have access to all the data, and all my map documents open properly with all the data.

Help, thanx Eddie

Yeah, it definitely should be recursive through your subfolders. I assume that since you can register each individual folder, the permissions should be okay. Is the data on your local system? Are you using a drive letter or UNC path?

eddiequinlan

yes i'm using a drive letter of

\path..... However, i believe i did some testing on the c: drive and got the same results.

Eddie:

Are you publishing the maps to server 10.1 on the same machine where server is installed?

If so, is your data stored in an Oracle SDE database?

This is my current setup and I had to install both 32 and 64 bit Oracle Client software in order to register the data stores correctly and not have the SDE data automatically copied to the ArcGIS Server server.

I don't know if this will help, but at least you can rule it out if it does not apply.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the thoughts. The published maps and 10.1 server are on the same machine. I'm not using any SDE databases. Everything is in folders as either a shapefile or file geodatabase. I've got the services running, but to make it work I had to register every folder individually. Fortunately for me, that only involved about 10 folders. As my services grow or with servers out there with large amounts of data, I can see this being a pain when trying to maintain the info.

It should work as documented in the help; do you currently have maintenance? I'd suggest logging a support ticket if so, so that we can take a closer look at the problem.

Hi there,

do you solve the problem since I came across the same one..

"when I try to register any folders in the data stores which are accessed via a share I keep getting "Invalid folder location. Unable to access this location". I have access to all the data, and all my map documents open properly with all the data. "

Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan,

No I never heard anymore about the issue. I just went ahead and registered each folder individually....

sorry,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Me too, it is very weird, I just could not register a subfolder. Thanks anyway.

Michael,

I am having the same issue with Oracle 11g SDE database . I got both 32 and 64 bit client installed, the data store get register and validated, yet when I try to publish a mxd map, it is not finding that connection and will throw the attached error .

Eric:

Are you registering the exact same SDE connection with AGS that you are using in your mxds that you are publishing (e.g. You have SDE_user as your connection in the mxd and you register this exact .sde file with AGS which could be somewhere on the AGS server if you have ArcMap installed on the same server)?

EricTraya

Michael,

Yes, I am using the exact user that I've used to established my connection from ArcGIS desktop. When I created the data store in ArcGIS Server I import the connection that I am using in the ArcGIS desktop.

Eric

MikeVolz

What is the path to the .sde file that you are registering?

EricTraya

the sde file is located on a local folder that have been added to GIS Desktop and Arc Catalog. When the data store was defined, the same local folder was referenced and imported to create the data store.

TheoFaull

same error message for me too.

ArcGIS Server Manager (above) is on another machine 'gis3' than the data I'm trying to register which is on 'gis2'.

JayantaPoddar

Share the folder in "GIS2" with everyone (from Windows Explorer). Define the shared path (It will start with "\\") in Publisher folder path.

TheoFaull

I don't have admin rights to share the GIS2 folder with everyone in the company.

Only a few people can access the GIS2 drive, but I want everyone to be able to view in an online format, the GIS data (shapefiles) stored within the GIS2 drive.

RebeccaStrauch__GISP

Make sure the ArcGIS Server admin account has access to the folders in question.

TheoFaull

thanks Rebecca. However, being a novice to this, I don't know how to do that.
