Store relative path names + rebuild: FID

ThibautDelaere1 — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:05:01 GMT

Does the option 'Store relative path names' work in ArcGIS 10?

I keep seeing the original location path when the option box is checked. Also when the workspace is moved (including the reference data), I can't rebuild the locator. I got the message that the locator is broken, and I have to fix it manually.

Another problem occurs when I wan't to rebuild an address locator and I had to update the path to the reference data. I can't refer the FID field to the object Id field of the data. It doesn't appear in the dropdown list. So I can't rebuild the locator.

Anyone who can help me out?

I did find out that this is actually a reported bug, which will be fixed with 10SP2/10.1

with version 10sp3 I am still comming across with the same problems (relative path does not work).

I also can't refer the FID field, but I just ignore it and click ok (after setting up the correct path) and it works.

I cant find it in reported bug list and with sp 2 and 3 pour geocoade it is still not resolved.

Has the relative path issue been resolved? I am using SP3 and it still does not work. I also tried testing in ArcGIS 10.1 Beta 2 and it appears that it does not work in this version either.

I have reproduced this issue and I have logged it. We will try to get it in the next 10.0 Service Pack.

Has this issue been resolved in SP 4? I was looking at the SP 4 release notes and didn't see this issue on the list.

It didn't make SP4 but we have a fix for it and it will be in 10.0 SP5.

I'm looking forward to this being resolved.
Additionally, I'm wondering if a locator, created in a scripted process with arcpy.CreateAddressLocator can then be changed to a relative paths geocoder. I don't see anyway to make that distinction in the coded process. Can Esri comment on that please?

Thank you. Would it be safe to assume that this issue will be resolved in ArcGIS 10.1 as well since it looks like it will be part of ArcGIS 10 SP5?

That is correct, it will be fixed in 10.1 as well.

I recently discovered this issue and subsequently this thread. I am downloading copies of a fgdb with locators to muliple machines and portable hard drives. Having a locator that uses the local "relative path" is important! I look forward to a fix for this issue.

After migrating to 10.1 we moved our geolocators (set to store relative paths) to a new server, but still see the old path listed for the Primary Table. Is this still an issue, or did we miss something in the transfer?

Is NIM078367 the bug# for this?
http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDc4MzY3

I'm running 10 sp5 and still having trouble with relative paths in the locators.... though I believe the locators that I'm using are from 9.x...

Dan

P.S. Also, the paths I'm having issues with are paths the the .sde connection files for locators stored in ArcSDE 9.2...

I have service pack 5 and am still encountering this bug. Is it still a problem if a map was made in 10SP3 but opened and saved by someone with 10SP5? It doesn't work when we do this. Is there a way to insure an MXD is saved in SP5 format, or is it not an MXD problem, but a problem with the ArcGIS itself?

We are still seeing the problem when moving locators to a geodatabase using ArcGIS 10.1 with SP1 and all hotfixes with PostgreSQL 9.05.
