Error loading versions

Question

Hello,

When I want to change the version in ArcGIS for Desktop I get the error:

(Reason: Invalid at the highest level of the document)

I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10.2.2 on a Windows 10

ArcGIS Server 10.2.2

name of default version = dbo.DEFAULT

I've read related post on this issue with ArcGIS 10.1 but didn't find a solution that works for me. (there are no special characters in the username, maybe it has something to do with MSXML?)

Does anybody have any idea?

Thanks!

* permissions: i (we) use the admin pasword
* Yes it is ArcSDE for MS SQL but not a keycode that expires (licence manager with floating licences)
* no network changes
* I can edit/query the DB with SQL manager
* some files are locked for the users that use the web application but there is no lock for admins when editing with ArcInfo

The consultants that developped our web application have solved the problem on their local machines some time ago but they forgot how they did it...

I think I have to search more in the direction of Microsoft XML Parser en Microsoft XML Core Services...

I will report back if I find the solution.

Although I agree you should contact tech support/local distributor, a few other things to check...

* permissions....could a password have changed for the user(s) recently?
* authorization...assuming this is ArcSDE for MS SQL?  Could the Sde database have been authorized with a KeyCodes/authorization code that expires? For example, an EDN authorization?
* any other network related changes?
* do you have access to SQL manager to view/query the database (not to change)
* are there any locks on the files?

if you find a resolution, please report back.

I'll suggest contacting your local Esri Distributor and discussing with them, so that they can check your environment, databases and troubleshoot in a better way.
