Our database is Oracle 11g. We have confirmed that the permissions on the database are correct. Occassionally, ArcSDE will lock a feature dataset, and need to be restarted. <BR /><BR />Is there anything we can check to see why this may be happening?</BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN>OK. I think I know why this is happening now. It appears, based on the feature datasets' feature class contents, that my ArcGIS Server map service is locking them. So, I guess it is necessary to stop all map services in order to change the schema of data within a locked feature dataset.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:41:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/arcsde-locking-feature-dataset/m-p/517025#M29300 BarryGuidry 2012-09-19T11:41:02Z Re: ArcSDE locking feature dataset https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/arcsde-locking-feature-dataset/m-p/517026#M29301 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Barry-&nbsp; just one of the many reasons why I don't like using feature datasets in a SDE database.&nbsp; They just don't play well together at a number of levels....</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Glad you figured it out your problem though!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:53:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/arcsde-locking-feature-dataset/m-p/517026#M29301 JoeBorgione 2012-09-19T18:53:56Z Re: ArcSDE locking feature dataset https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/arcsde-locking-feature-dataset/m-p/517027#M29302 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks, Joe.
