Trouble Deleting Domains

TomKoritansky

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble deleting a domain list from my file geodatabase. When I try to delete to domain I get an error that says:

"Failed to a delete domain from the database.
The domain was not found.
The domain was not found. [name of domain]"

I also cannot add any new entries to the domain or change the domain name and description; I get a similar error that says:

"Failed to update a domain.
The domain was not found.
The domain was not found."

The domain is not attached to any attribute fields.

One thing I noticed was that if I try to edit the domain name a box symbol appears at the end of the domain name when cursor is in the window to type more text.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have the same problem. Is there a good solution or workround for this? Because the Geodatabase I manage and cause this problems is with replica and very large and important to just export and import for X-Ray to change the structure.

You may want to consider using X-Ray to dump the geodatabase structure, modify it, and reload the data into the fixed copy.

X-Ray for ArcCatalog

Thank you for explaining the why - that is helpful in avoiding this in the future. That being said, how do we delete the domain? Is it possible? I'd appreciate any feedback and thank you,

Depending upon the way the domains / domain names were originally entered I have seen this behavior when a domain exists that has a carriage return present. This typically occurs when domain names are copied from sources like Microsoft Excel where carriage returns may be hidden and often times they are not immediately visible when viewing domain properties within ArcCatalog. There is a defect addressing this behavior for Oracle enterprise geodatabases (but it might well affect file geodatabases as well). If values have been copied / pasted opposed to manually entered for domain names- I'd consider this a high possibility:

BUG-000091839:

Updating or deleting a domain created with a carriage return returns the error, "Failed to update one of the domains. The domain was not found."

It's file geodatabase

shan_sarkar

What kind of a database is being used here?

GeorgiyYaroslavtsev

Can I answer, if you don't mind?

1. I use ArcGIS Desktop v.10.5

2. It's range domain of small integer type

3. No, domain not assined to any feature class

4. Yes, it does

Tom,

Are you trying to delete the domain from ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Desktop? What is the version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Desktop?
Is it a coded value or range domain?
Have you assigned the domains in any feature class or standalone database table?
Does it give the same error if you try using Delete Domain—Help | ArcGIS Desktop ?
