No select or identify possible on SDO_GEOMETRY layer

WilcoLoth1 — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:21:56 GMT

I'm encountering a very strange problem with a SDO_GEOMETRY layer. After creating the table with SDO_GEOMETRY column, filling it with data and registering it with ArcSDE using the sdelayer command all point features are shown nicely on the map. But when I try to select or identify a point feature in ArcMap, nothing is selected. I also noticed when zooming in on the features disappear from the map.

Below my registration command. SRS is set 28992 in the database.

sdelayer -o register -l ref_mks_constateringen,locatie_wkt -e p -C object01_id -E 120000,350000,180000,420000 -t SDO_GEOMETRY -i esri_sde_irist -u <myuser> -p <mypassword>

The sdelayer describe_long command shows the following. Coordinate system seems missing but I don't understand why, because it is already defined in the Oracle Spatial environment.

Got the answer already. Had to build the spatial index in Oracle.

I'd still recommend using the -R or -x & -G flags when registering a table with ArcSDE,
especially when you consider that the coordref generated without them can't represent
all data in the envelope you specified (which should probably be reported as a bug).

I have come across this thread whilst looking for a problem with selecting a layer on my map.

It is a simple polyline shp file (no geodatabases etc are involved).

If I keep the layer simple, I can select & identify the line no problem by clicking on it in my web map.

If I offset the line in the symbology, I can not click on the lines as they are displayed, but in order to select or identify, must click between the lines where it 'would' be if not offset.

Is this normal, can you normally select and identify offset lines or does it just not work like that?
