Copying & Pasting from SDE

Lebowski — Thu, 15 May 2014 15:27:15 GMT

I have a question. I have created 2 different feature datasets in SDE, each with multiple feature classes. In one feature dataset I can 'Copy & Paste' feature classes to a new File Geodatabase but in the other I cannot. I should mention I created one of the feature datasets while the other was created by a co-worker, could this be a permission issue?

Running ArcGIS 10.1, Windows

Thanks

What is the error observed?

Just to confirm..you are copying Fcs from the File gdb into the dataset in sde or the other way round?

There is no error, I am able to copy but when I go to paste, paste is "greyed-out." I am just copying the feature class from the feature dataset in SDE to a file gdb. I has a mentioned previously the feature class(es) I created are able to copy & paste while the co-worker created feature classess are unable to copy & paste.

Have you tried importing the Feature Class and checked if that works?

Thats works but I need to copy & paste in order to preserve attachement & relationships

Not sure why the Copy/Paste is not working....however you can use the below two tools to copy the FCs along with related data:

Export XML Workspace Document (Data Management)
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/...0000015s000000

Import XML Workspace Document (Data Management):

That really didn't help it just made an xml document

Now import that XML in the File gdb...it will transfer all the data you selected while creating the XML!
