Attribute Rules FC in AGS Desktop

I'm new to AGS Pro and started playing with Attribute Rules (AR) in a File GDB. After setting up some attribute rules on a feature class in the file gdb, I'm not able to load this feature class in AGS Desktop. Desktop gives the error below. Wondering what the issue is.

If by Desktop you mean ArcMap, then yes. This is expected behavior, Tables with Attribute Rules can not be opened in ArcMap.

Johannes, thank you for the reply. Yes, I meant ArcMap/ArcCatalog. I understand that the attribute rules cannot be opened in ArcMap. Are you saying the feature class itself also cannot be opened in ArcMap?

Yes, exactly. You can not work with the feature class in ArcMap.

What you can do is create a database view or query layer (in an Enterprise GDB). This view will be viewable (but not editable) in ArcMap.
