Unable to 'Enable Enterprise Geodatabase'

ThomasPuthusserry — Wed, 21 Feb 2018 13:53:10 GMT

Hi I am trying to 'Enable Enterprise Geodatabase' functionality for a database hosted in the Amazon RDS (SQL Server Express Edition 13.00.2164.0.v1). I followed the steps explained here (Create a geodatabase on Amazon Relational Database Service for SQL Server—ArcGIS Enterprise on AWS | ArcGIS Enterprise ) but there is no success. Is this because my RDS instance is Express and not a standard SQL Server edition ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Thomas

Hi Jayanta

To clarify: I am using an AWS SQL Express instance as the database which I can connect using ArcCatalog and store non-spatial tables. I would like to make that database into 'geodatabase' so that I can store spatial data and that is where the process is failing.

Solved:

I found out that the process work if I use a different keycode file (although the keycode initially used was from a similar server advanced licence). Thanks all for your suggestions.
