Error: Specified database is not a valid geodatabase. Please contact your administrator.

Question edited, I've mixed up with the errors

Hi guys,

Tried both on WXM Admin 10.6.1 and PRO 2.2.4 (using postgres 9.5) and I get this message.

"The requested database does not contain the required Workflow Manager schema"

In PRO I am asked: Do you want to create the schema. I click yes.

and when I create a workflow database I get this error:

Not sure what I should look for.

I also tried to set up everything as this article says: Startup Guide: Setting up a Postgres Enterprise Database for ArcGIS Workflow Manager

by following this guide I realized that C:\PostgreSQL\pg95\lib\postgresql

does not exist even though Postgres was already installed.

(I copied the database support file into C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\lib )

I works fine until the Create Workflow Database.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Have you been able to create an Enterprise Geodatabase before creating the workflow manager database?

Thanks,

Meggie

Update.

Not sure why, but:

Yesterday I created a ent. geodatabase for WXM

Then I tried to create a WXM database and I couldn't as per question posted.

Today I tried again and nothing. Then I tried to create a new table in an already connected geodb and I got the message: something like "cannot create a table as the spatial component is missing" (sorry I have already forgotten the error message).

I went to check if the st_geometry.dll was there and it was but I decided to overwrite the same and now I could create a Workflow geodatabase.

Problem solved for now.
