So my follow up would be: if NA isn't the right product, is there an off-the-shelf esri product more suited? Else am I totally on my own? ... View more

If that's the case, why does the documentation hint that it is possible (albeit more involved)? ... View more

That's it!! thanks so much. ... View more

Chris, Did you rebuild with this style? Brad I created a new locator from the style just to double check.  It still returns the same problematic results.  If it makes any difference the locator is created in an SDE 10sp2 db and I'm using Desktop 10sp2. -chris ... View more

Thanks for the quick reply Brad, Unfortunately it hasn't helped my issue.  I need a way to score an exact match higher than over-matches (addresses with units).  See screen shot attached.  I need to get the selected result (which exactly matches the searched string) to score higher than any unit address with the same root address. -chris ...

Everyone's advice has been extremely helpful, but I'm stuck on one point: If I geocode an address that has a root location as well as sub/unit locations the geocoder always returns all matches.  For all apartment completexes we have a root address (123 Main St) as well as unit addresses for each apartment (123 Main St #1, #2, etc).  If a user geocodes "123 Main St" the root address should have a higher score than "123 Main St #1".  How can I accomplish this?  Or is it just not possible? thanks in advance, -chris ...

Do I need to submit this as a bug or have you? Our organization only deals with new imagery every 3 years and we maintain tight controls ending up with standard projections, pixel sizes, etc, so many of the traditional uses of raster catalogs haven't really applied to us.  Having a fairly robust enterprise desktop, server and mobile users we've enjoyed the benifet of having our aerials pre-processed into SDE.  In 20years we've only now ever needed to move one. Is it still the case that I/O performace is faster from an SDE raster dataset than a catalog (particularly if the imagery is accessed through files)? Thanks so much for your help, -chris ...

My problem is not with the lyr.name, its the lyr.datasetName.  I need to change the datasetName as the lyr.replaceDataSource class is not honoring any string I try to use.  Whatever I use lyr.replaceDataSource always returns the original datasetName.  I've tried all the below but always the datasetName remains unchanged.  lyr.replaceDataSource(sdeFile, "SDE_WORKSPACE", "AERIAL.DATALOADER.AP2008", True) lyr.replaceDataSource(sdeFile, "SDE_WORKSPACE", "AP2008", True) lyr.replaceDataSource(sdeFile, "SDE_WORKSPACE", "", True) lyr.replaceDataSource(sdeFile, "SDE_WORKSPACE", "newName", True) Since the the datasetName contains a referance to the old database, even though the SDE data source changes, the layer in the mxd is broken.  Does lyr.replaceDataSource not honor raster datsets in SDE? ...

If helpful here's the full code.... import os, arcpy start = r"G:\DEPARTMENTS\GIS\Chris_Graff\temp\scketchup" sdeFile = r"G:\DEPARTMENTS\GIS\Chris_Graff\temp\Aerial.sde" for root, dirs, files in os.walk(start):     for file in files:         if file.endswith(".mxd"):             path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(root,file))             mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(path)             print path             for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):                 if lyr.supports("SERVICEPROPERTIES") and lyr.serviceProperties["ServiceType"] == "SDE":                     if lyr.datasetName.upper() == "STATIC.DATALOADER.AP2008":                         print "!   " + lyr.datasetName                         lyr.replaceDataSource(sdeFile, "SDE_WORKSPACE", r"AERIAL.DATALOADER.AP2008", True)                         print "NEW " + lyr.datasetName                     else:                         if lyr.isRasterLayer:                             print "!!!!" + lyr.datasetName                         else:                             print "    " + lyr.datasetName                 else:                     print "    " + lyr.name             try:                 mxd.save()             except IOError as e:                 print "Save failed!" del mxd, lyr, file, path ...

I'm not sure if my error is related but let's take a shot. I have a simple python script in a toolbox.  The script is called in various models to timestamp a sqltable that the model was run.  Run alone or from any of the models its embeded in (via ArcGIS), the script works just fine.  I also have a .Net console app running as a scheduled task to automatically run many of these models.  When run from .Net the model fails at the timestamp script with the below error: "<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found." I've just recently upgraded to ArcGIS 10sp2, and hence python 2.6 Thanks in advance, -chris ... View more
