Wow! I was obviously making this more difficult than it really is.  Thank you. ... View more

Kim,      Thank you for your response.  Am I to understand that the Catalog "Update Geodatabase" made all the necessary changes sde schema, to include sde_ tables, stored procedures, etc. as well as the gdb_ tables?  When I query the sde.version table, it reports:  MAJOR 10, MINOR 0, BUGFIX 0, Description "for Oracle11g Build 775 Fri Sep 17 11:45:27 2010, RELEASE 100001, SDESVR_REL_LOW 93001.  I am making a distinction between the geodatabase in the sde schema and the sde repository.  I was expecting the sde.version to reflect that upgrade of the sde repository to service pack four.

Because of a policy not to install "application software" on the database (Oracle 11g) machine, I am constrained to do a remote install of ArcSDE 10 from Windows (Server 2008) to Linux (Suse Enterprise - 64bit).  We would like to use ST_Geometry.  The ArcSDE 10 Oracle 11g (32 bit) sp 1 "installation" has been done on the Windows machine and the TNS Names file has been configured and I have confirmed that it connects to the Oracle 11g instance on the Linux machine.  It also includes the "extproc" reference that will be needed to access the ST_Geometry library.  Execute privileges have been granted to "public" on dbms_pipe, dbms_lock,dbms_utility,dbms_sql, and utl_raw and the "sde" user has been created with the required permissions.  And, finally, I have my ArcSDE license file ready to go.  In theory, I should be able to do the remote install.  Has anyone tried this?  My questions are:  Does the  libst_shapelib.so (extracted from the Linux installation media) need to be on the Linux machine before the post_installation is run or can it be done after post_installation?  And, what does the setup_st_geometry.exe in the sdehome bin directory do?  Any advise, tips, or warnings would be much appreciated.  Scott ...

Thank you for you help so far.  Progress is being made. Can you give me an example of "an array object[] { featureTypeId, featureTemplateName }"?  I have created three templates in a point feature class (TemplateA, TemplateB, and TemplateC).  I have verified that these templates are defined in the FeatureLayer rest services.  I have created three buttons, one for each template and have bound it to the editor.  These buttons sucessfully add a point feature.  However, I have been unable to bind them to the templates (they always default to the first one).  My guess is that the CommandParameters binding syntax is not in the correct format.  I am assuming the the featureTemplateName is a String name of the template.  However, I do not know what the featureTypeID is or what type it is.  I have tried "Point" as a String, 0 as an int (it only has one feature type point), 1 as an int (the integer form for the esriGeometryTypePoint).      object[] ArrayA = new object[2];             ArrayA[0] = ??????????             ArrayA[1] = "TemplateA"; ...

Since I am using a UniqueValueRenderer, the displayed symbol is based on an attribute (symbolcode).  The editor "add" command adds a new feature using the defaults since there is no feature template.  It is displayed using the default symbol.  The API Refrence on "Add Property" of the "Editor Class" says that a CommandParameter should be used when adding a FeatureLayer.   The CommandParameter makes refrence to "an array object[] { featureTypeId, featureTemplateName } as parameter".  This takes me back to how to create a feature template.  Is there another way to add an attribute (symbolcode) when using the editor "Add" command? ...

Thank you very much for your reply.  I will follow your advice.   As to the performance question:  Use of the PictureMarkerSymbol as a symbol type is a constraint of the application.  It requires the use of a large collection of very specific symbols used by the industry.  The symbols are small (1 -2 k png files).  The performance gain that I was refering to is loading them as static resources rather than creating multiple copies of the same image when using the UniqueValueRenderer based on an attribute.  There is a cost loading the application on startup, but rendering performance is good.  However, if you have a better strategy, I am open to suggestions. ...
