New ArcSDE Installation with PostgreSQL on Red Hat EL5.5

MichalisAvraam — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 01:57:24 GMT

I have a quick question that you may be able to help me with (I hope). I has installed ArcSDE and PostgreSQL on our server and initialized everything. ArcSDE is running and I can connect to it through ArcCatalog fine. But I have a problem trying to create a feature dataset, or copy data into my ArcSDE. The error I get is 999999, which of course is not the most helpful error code. The relevant parts of the error code follow:

"Database Connections\Connection to arcsdeserver.sde\department.creatorUser.test"
ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
The application is not licensed to create or modify schema for this type of data 
A locator with this name does not exist.
Failed to execute (CreateFeatureDataset).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The application not licensed for data creation is ArcGIS Desktop. ArcView can
only read enterprise geodatabases; you need ArcEditor or ArcInfo for write
access. Use the Desktop Administrator to make this change.

Thank you, that is great to hear. I only have the student edition here, so I need to figure something out. Perhaps the error message should be included in an article somewhere so we can search for it?

A search on that message in the old forums would have produced the
same information, but something has gone wrong with the new search
software, and they haven't yet been able to build a clean search index
(not for lack of trying, I hasten to add).
