Yes, love IT. The best part is they call themselves GIS guys but they don't want to help with GIS stuff ever...the best part is their name is the "Center of Excellence." It's anything but. I have the ArcInfo Advanced license and a license for the Network Analyst extension which is turned on. I've looked through other problems with Network Analyst but couldn't find a solution; I usually search first before posting but haven't had any luck so far.

Whenever I build a network dataset or a geometric network I guess this error: Build Geometric Network failed. The object has been deleted and is no longer valid. [Network_Net_BUILDER] Unexpected operation [N_1_Props] Unexpected opeartion [N_1_Props] What is going on? I can't find anything about this in the forums and I'm unable to get ESRI Technical Support as I have to go through IT and IT will not do it. That makes me a sad panda... - T Mac-and-Cheese-Sandwich

I'm getting the same error and can't find a solution. I'm unable to contact ESRI Support as only my IT department can, and they will not do it for anything related to this. I hope someone has an answer out there. I'll post another thread...

Don't have an install disc...I get the trial version off the esri.com website and then enter in the license server...is there somewhere on my hard drive it would be located???

Interesting. Where might I find said "ArcSDE for Microsoft SQL Server Express Wizard"? I downloaded SQL Server Express myself through Microsoft so I never used any wizard from ESRI.

Hello World! I'm following the database servers tutorial ESRI provides for 10.1 located here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Exercise_2_Load_data_into_the_geodatabase_and_update_statistics/018t0000001w000000/. I get to Exercise 2 and try to create a feature dataset and I get this message: "Bad Login User. Success". And then I can't do anything with the new geodatabase created in Exercise 1. I've searched and searched and tried a whole bunch of different things but can't find the answer. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I don't have a ArcGIS Server authorization number so I can't get the ESRI Customer Care Portal file needed to enter in the "Arc_SDE" list in the registry as described here: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/69245-Can-t-create-new-geodatabase-on-database-server?highlight=bad+login+user. Having Fun!! -T

Woo ha it worked! Thank you very much; I tried doing the same thing in my loop with the name but I always left the source layer variable outside the loop so it never deleted. It's strange though because I did close the mxd and re-open so that the variable was lost and I still got the crazy name change bug. Anyway, here is the scenario I'm working with. I have a file geodatabase with parcel data divided into 150 features classes-one for each county. These all have the same database schema; I guess they divided it by county for size or ease of distribution, who knows. So these feature classes have around 100 records or so that our users don't need to see. Some of it is the sales data and other information that is provided by local governments. I needed to remove all the fields except for about 20 and this is why I used the UpdateLayer function in Python so I wouldn't have to do it 150 times. Now that I have the layers updated properly I'm going to share it as a service with ArcGIS Server. Maybe there's a more appropriate method in the ArcPy module but I couldn't find it. If you have anymore questions feel free to shoot them at me. Thanks again!

You're misunderstanding my bug...I know the UpdateLayer will change the name; that's not the problem. The problem is the name will change for every layer after the method has been used whenever I change one of the layer's names. So I did save the name in a variable and reapplied like you said, what happens is every layer gets the name of the last layer named whatever that name may be. If I go manually into one of the layers, any of them, and change the name then every single layer that has been updated with the UpdateLayer method also changes its name.

Greetings and Salutations Python Masters of the Universe, I believe I have a minor bug here with the arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer() method. If anyone can help me correct it or work around it I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not going to post the code because it is a simple script. Basically I use the UpdateLayer method to update a whole bunch of layers, about 150, and the 'update symbology only' is set to False. I'm updating everything; each layer comes from a different feature class for different counties so the database schema is the same for each. I use the UpdateLayer to hide fields on all the layers. So, after updating, the name for each layer is now based on the original layer that I used as the Source Layer. Well, this is where the fun part comes in, whenever I go to change any of the names they all change based on whatever the one has been changed to. If I go to one of the layer's properties and change the name, it then changes the name of every single layer. I've copied all the layers into another data frame to copy so I can loop through and set the names to be equal but it won't work because of this bug. Again, the layer name changes for every layer when only one has been changed after using the UpdateLayer method on the layers. Thanks, GIS Python Padewan

Pwei, Haven't seen anyone convert CAD to GIS through a web application before. You might want to look into publishing a geoprocessing service that converts a DXF to GIS in a specifc format that would then be published as a layer to ArcGIS Server, but I'm not sure that it's possible. If you do it, let us know as that would be very cool to see. Thomas McCracken GIS Analyst Georgia Power Company

Jean, There's a sample in the resource center here: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html#/Query_using_GP_result/01nq0000004s000000/ This should help you out. Thomas McCracken GIS Analyst Georgia Power Company

Hi, I'm not too familiar with bringing in JSON objects but I believe yuo want to use the decode method of the JSON class in the com.esri.ags.utils package here: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/apiref/index.html. Good luck! Thomas McCracken GIS Analyst Georgia Power Company

I believe the results of your query are multiple objects so an array would be more appropriate for your variable. Thomas McCracken GIS Analyst Georgia Power Company

Ashlee, Are you using ArcGIS Server 10? That's what the widget requires I believe. Also, you may want to ask your question in the Flex Viewer forum whether than just the API and see if you have more luck. But I couldn't tell you other than that what's going on with the widget. Robert Scheitlin created it so he may be able to help since he's the Flex Jedi Master. I haven't seen him on the forums here lately though. Thomas McCracken GIS Analyst Georgia Power Company

That's what States is meant for in Flex. It's like changing "web pages" without changing pages. Everything in a Flex app is within a single html wrapper. To change "pages" you simply use different States to remove and add what you want into the project. Check this out for more info: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html. It explains States and "pages".
