Hi Crafty, Cheers for your comments! I'm aware that I'd need to repoint all of my layer files, services, Database Connections, etc... Is a little daunting. (It's basically a full rebuild for my layers and services -- having said that, it could be a nice time to review and clean up some issues). With regards to editing, it all depends upon how long the DB Server will be offline. If a full system rebuild needs to take place, then the secondary would more than likely take over and we would look to migrate back at a later stage. Else we could For the replication, we are using Log Shipping, which appears to be supported: (http://downloads.esri.com/support/whitepapers/sde_/J9208_MS_SQL_Standby_Servers.pdf). I'm looking forward to testing this, as it would be nice to have confidence that I can failover if the primary SQL Server were to fall over. Has anyone else looked at this solution at all?

Cory, can you elaborate on your "correct process" for deleting? I thought the concept behind versioning gives you an "adds" and "deletes" table for each versioned feature class and you get to manually review those adds and deletes during the reconcile/post process. If a user deletes a feature from his/her version, why is that bad?  You still have that feature in your default version, yes? If you look at the adds and deletes table, an "update" is recorded as both a delete and an add. I'm not sure I want ESRI to mess around with the permissions on versioning.  Maybe ESRI can address the need for a transactional feature class. Hi Leo, the way my system is currently setup (maybe I've overlooked something)... is that power users have the ability to add and remove features at will. They've created a version from the default. My concern is that a feature may be removed, which is linked to various other systems. I'm using GIS in a Telecommunications environment -- so if a pit was removed if I have other systems linked to that record, there is no safeguard in place at present to confirm it. So by propper procedure, I'm looking at having a power user request a manager or GIS Admin to remove a feature... Just looking to try and maintain data integrity. ... View more

Hi Jake, cheers for that. I was hoping to keep them using ArcMap as they're network designers / planners. Any idea whether this level of access is in the pipeline at all? Enabling users to have a version and locking them down would be useful. ... View more

Hi Wolseley, Whenever I do a Select by Attributes or Definition Query, I always see the [Domain Code] - [Domain Value]. I was wondering, is it possible to get a screenshot of your Coded Domain list? The answer might be there? The codes for the other domains, they aren't the same as the value by any chance are they? Cheers, Cory ... View more

Hi Ben, I contacted Esri Australia but they don't have an address locator for the GNAF. They put me in touch with an organisation who is a reseller of PSMA who do have an address locator style but it was out of budget for what I had. Kind regards, Cory ... View more

Plee, did you get any answer on this? I'm trying to create address locators using the GNAF and publish them as a Geocoder service to be used by Dekho... I've also just found this document: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geocoding/details?entryID=51EE55F8-1422-2418-7F8B-FD82DE958878 It goes through customising the address locatorsr. 🙂 It's a bit of reading, but could be really useful! 🙂 Cheers, Cory ...

Hi Vangelo, cheers for that. It worked. 🙂 I would normally have all these datasets within the same table. I'm working with the address points data (GNAF) and it's based on different states/territories within Australia. I'm using a view to create a single table so that when I receive an updated dataset in the future, I only have to update the 8 datasets, which will flow through to the view which and I'm only using it for Dekho's OneSearch capability. Cheers!! 🙂 ... View more
