Product Library-Set CDR Owner Workspace

Question

Hi,
I'm new to the Product Library. I'm trying to setup the NIS datatbase following these links.

Setting up the Nautical product library
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Setting_up_the_Nautical_product_library_in_an_ArcSDE_environment/0106000000r4000000/

Setting up the NIS database
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Setting_up_the_NIS_database/0106000001n7000000/

Everything works fine until Defining the Central Database Repository Workspace - Step 11. After clicking the ... button for Set CDR Owner Workspace, a message box says that "FrameworkEngine.CKBFile.Input Name string has exceeded the length limit of the field"(attached jpg). Does anybody encounter this problem? What does the Set CDR Owner Workspace actually do?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Ruel,

It looks like you need to set the NIS workspace within the Nautical Properties before running the Populate process. To do this:

1. In ArcMap, go to Customize > Production Properties
2. Click on the Nautical Properties item
3. Under the Central Database Repository section, click in the "Click to edit property" and click on the ellipses button
4. In the browse dialog, navigate to the location of your NIS workspace, select it and click Open
5. Click OK to save your property settings and close the dialog

If you don't have an NIS workspace go to the Help and search on the topic "Setting up the NIS database". Follow the steps outlined in this topic. Hope this helps.

Andy

The CDR Owner connection property is to give non-admin SDE connections the ability to create products using the Enterprise workflow. This property is to be set by someone who has the SDE admin connection. Once they set this property the admin connection properties are stored in the CKB_File table and are referenced by Populate when creating replicas by non-admin users.

With SQL Express, everyone is automatically the Admin or Data owner so there is no need to set the property.
