Does the 10.2 Detect feature changes meet this need? http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//001700000190000000 ... View more

Brian, Did you ever find the answer to this? We have the same issue. I don't want to have to change every service post publish. I would prefer to do it pre publish. Thanks,      Alison ... View more

Thanks Kevin. What I was trying to do was pretty simple. I was trying to do a Feature Class to Feature class from a simple feature class in an SDE database to a file geodatabase using standard Edition of ArcCatalog. After uninstalling the service pack, I am now able to run the same tool as a background process. In fact I went into the Geoprocessing results tab and reran a step that had failed previously. I am in Canada. Would it be worthwhile to submit a call to Tech Support up here in order to work with them? Thanks,      Alison ... View more

Did anyone get any further response to this? We have the same issue here in house. Many of our Windows 7, 64-bit machines running ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 are encountering this issue. I will try uninstalling the service pack for Desktop Background geoprocessing (64-bit) from my computer to see if this helps. I want to have the ability to run geoprocessing in the background, so if this is my workaround... My question is what will I lose by removing this? Anything? Thanks,         Alison ... View more

Just a bit of further background The way this database is cloned is by doing the following: 1. Using ftp copy all database files from production server to development server. Database files do not include the log files 2. Delete and recreate the control file to point to the Dev instance instead of the prod instance 3. Drop and recreate any database links to point to dev instances 4. Change passwords to those of the dev instance. To fix the problem we had to do two main things 1. NOT change the passwords on the user logins in the cloned database. Since we use individual database logins in WMX by changing all the user passwords we no longer could use WMX to connect to the cloned database 2. Update the JTX_DATABASES table. There were two fields that had to be updated to make things work properly. Update JTX_DATABASES set INSTANCE='sde:oracle10g:ABC' where OBJECTID=65; Update JTX_DATABASES set db_name='ABC_ind_ora10' where OBJECTID=65; Where ABC is the name of the newly cloned instance.

Robin, Can you check something? Select the Job in Workflow Manager and select the Properties tab at the bottom of the screen. On the Ownership tab, can you tell me if the job is assigned to anyone? If not, try assigning it to yourself and see if that helps. If it is, what about right-clicking on the custom step, selecting properties and seeing who the step is assigned to. If it is unassigned you will want to assign it to your user. Just some thoughts,     Alison ... View more

Michael, You are correct, you will require two unique .jtc connections. We have this situation in our environment (for select users). The QA environment is the default for those users in the development group, but you can quickly switch to the Production environment if required. Each connection is named differently and contains connection information to different servers, databases, and logins. Alison ... View more

Thanks Mike. That works perfectly! ... View more

Just wondering if you could share some further information about how you implemented this? I am having problems with the in_workspace parameter of this GP Tool. My in_workspace is an SDE database and we have created a standard connection on all user's machines. When I create the step I populatde the in_workspace parameter with Database Connections\RdsDev_RecAndPost.sde. This is the name of the Database Connection available on each user's machine. Unfortunately, when the user runs this step they always get a red x next to the Input Wokspace. I realize that all they need to do is navigate to this location, but my client wants them to just hit OK and have the step run. Any thoughts? Thanks,      Alison ... View more

When you setup the Flex Viewer you had to setup the config.xml to point to a number of different services. One of these was the  Workflow Manager Service <workflowService>.  Use ArcCatalog to connect to the Workflow Manager Server and add a Workflow Manager Server Object. This object will include the location of the .jtc connection file used on the server. This will tell the application what the database is how to connect to it and subsequently the JTX_Users table found in that database will potentially allow you to connect to the database. I hope that makes sense. It was a while ago that I set things up. Alison ... View more

Andrew, Is your user getting this message with the launch of Workflow Manager? Or is he trying to create a job? One of the quickest ways to debug is to set the logging to 5 for the user and then see if anything appears in the log files. Run the WMXAdvancedSettings.exe on the user's PC which should be in the WMX install location\bin directory. Setting the LogLevel to 5 and provide a LogPath where the user has r/w privileges. Each time they start up workflow Manager a file will be created in this directory called WMX-<date>-some number.log Hopefully this will point you in the right direction. As for the JTX tables, you should not need to provide specific grants to the tables. Alison ... View more

Mike, The map in use by the Map View tab is set in another location (at least at 10.0). If you select Setting from the top menu and then Workflow Manager System Settings, an interface will open. There should be a Map Views tab where you can define the Job Result Map View. I hope this is what you were looking for. Alison ... View more
