Read-only schema lock; project not open

MattCotterill

I have an ArcGIS Pro project that will only open as read-only. I don't have it open anywhere else and I've tried closing everything and even restarting my computer.

Before this happened, I was migrating .mxd documents to Pro projects and feature classes from .mdb databases to .gdb databases

nope, it's all local except for the basemap

MattCotterill

still no dice. I need to turn indexing back on to get it back in the task scheduler library so I can disable it in the task scheduler. then I go back into the options to uncheck the "update the index periodically" box and delete the index. still read only

Robert_LeClair

Back to the ArcGIS Pro options - at the very bottom of Indexing, click Delete Index and redo the workflows. Still no dice?

MattCotterill

It's been unchecked this whole time. I just checked it on and opened the project, closed it, checked it off and reopened it. Still no dice

ArcGIS Pro Indexing (Your_Username) has dropped out of the task scheduler library; still read only

danretired

and you might also want to try the operating system, by right-clicking on the aprx and checking its properties and untoggle any read-only setting. it may be that once it is set, it can only be unset at the operating system level

still no dice...

Okay - next thing. In ArcGIS Pro, go to Project-Options-Application-Indexing. Click "Don't create index" and uncheck "Update the index periodically" Then close ArcGIS Pro, redo the steps for Task Scheduler. What is the result?

MattCotterill

still read-only

Matt - let's try to disable the ArcGISIndexingServer process and see if that resolves the locked/read-only *.aprx. To do this:

1). Close ArcGIS Pro.
2). Go to Start Menu> Search for "Task scheduler" > Open Task scheduler.
3). On the left hand pane in Task scheduler, Click on Task scheduler(Local) > Task scheduler library.
4). In the list scheduled tasks, locate the task with name like "ArcGIS Pro Indexing (Your_Username)" >Right click on the task> Disable the task.> Close Task Scheduler.
5). Reboot the machine

Once you reboot the machine, attempt to load the *.aprx in question. What is the result?

I'd be interested to know if deleting the index and cache works.

don't know what ArcGISIndexingServer is, but by chance is there non-local data in the aprx? If so, try remove any layers that aren't locally stored incrementally with a save after each removal to see if you can narrow down the offending data

MattCotterill

The new version I can open and edit. the old version is still locked. Here's the message I get when I try to delete it:

danretired

"Save As" to a new filename. Does that one open as read only?
