Unable to Edit existing FGDB with GIS Pro Basic

ChrisGoessl — Wed, 17 Apr 2019 18:30:12 GMT

We are running into an issue where we are unable to edit existing FGDB on our servers using GIS Pro Basic. We are able to edit the same FGDB using ArcMap Basic license, but unable to do so with the Pro Basic License.

Can someone give me a reason why this occurs?

I have feature datasets from two different fGDB. I can edit one using ArcGIS Pro Basic but not the other.

In the List By Editing view of the Contents pane, hover over the red exclamation mark. The screentip will report why the layer is not editable. Can you check and let me know?

It says "Licensing Level is insufficient. Edits cannot be made."

Andrew,

What else is in the geodatabase? Any networks, or relationships or ?

If you export the feature class to a brand new file gdb, is it editable? If not, could you open an incident with tech support so we can take a look at the data?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Andrew,

The feature class that you show in your first screenshot that you aren't able to edit is Pavement and it is in the MontCo.gdb.

The screenshot that you just sent shows a feature dataset in the GreenCo.gdb.

Look at the properties of the Pavement feature class to see if there are any relationship classes or attachments:

If the Pavement feature class participates in any relationship classes or more advanced functionality like Jennifer Cadkin‌ was referring to, that would explain why it would not be editable with a Basic license.

The layer does not have any attachments either.

What happens if you export the Pavement feature class to a new file geodatabase? Can you edit the new one?

I will try it.

That worked. But, why can't I edit it in the previous database? Should I submit a support case?

Hey Andrew. I'm glad that worked! As to why/what is going on with the old file geodatabase, if you want to dig into it a bit with technical support, you're more than welcome. Just understand that it's probably more likely than not that they will not have an answer for something like this.

You could look into the Recover File Geodatabase tool: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/recover-file-geodatabase.htm (available with a Basic license )

Anyway, looks like it was somehow related to that specific gdb. Glad you're able to edit that feature class now.
