Error Message: The workspace is not connected

[MoizIshfaq]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to automate replication for ArcSDE and am trying to follow instructions from ESRI webhelp at URL 'http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/vba_desktop/conceptualhelp/index.html#/How_to_create_a_replica/00...'. I am consistently getting an error message saying '"The workspace is not connected"'. I tried searching the forum for this error but could not get find anything useful in this regard.

I am using C# and ArcGIS Desktop 10. Any helpful insight would be appreciated in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
It has been almost 5 days that I posted this thread and it has been viewed 39 times by different users and yet no one responded to it. I am just following what instructions are given in ESRI Documentation. Is it really a problem or I am making any mistake? Can anyone from ESRI technical team respond in this regard?

Thanks.

Other than Googling the error message, I haven't a clue. 

I suspect that the number of people programming replication is not that large.

I suggest that you file an incident with ESRI support.

[MoizIshfaq]

Thanks Richard,
I would talk to the ESRI customer support in this regard.

Any chance you have a raster field in your data?  I've set up a 2-way replica through a geodata service (to ArcSDE personal) and synchronized in ArcMap (not programmatically). Everything works fine with adding features and changing attributes until I try to add a photo to a raster field (replica was created fine with some raster fields already populated).  Then I get the "Workspace is not connected" error when I try to synchronize with the geodata service.

Not sure if this is a bug, something I have set up wrong, or just an unsupported feature in my case.

Hello Josh,
No, I am working in pure ArcObjects code and am working with simple feature classes. I have contacted the ESRI Technical Representative in my area and would update if I get any answer in this regard. Please accept my apology as I didn't touch upon what you are experiencing.

Regards.

I also had this error. I got around it by using a single FeatureClass only instead of replicating a complete FeatureDataset. You can then repeat this for every FeatureClass in the FeatureDataset.

I received this error when I was accidentally creating a new replica with the same name as an existing replica.
