The Survey Analyst Extension is still listed when registering single use software. This should be removed.

Hi Ted,

Good Catch! Could you please log this with Support so a bug can be logged?

Thanks,

Allison,

When we try opening a cadastral job (or parcel job or whatever it's called now), we get an error to the effect, "Survey Analyst license is not available." Is the issue that Ted found the same as ours, or should we submit a separate bug report? The extension isn't listed for us. It shouldn't be, correct?

Thanks,
Dan

Separate Bug Report

My issue was with the license. Your issue sounds like it is with the software, so if it were me, I would file a separate report.

Thanks for the reply Ted. I was just coming back here to post our resolution. Like you, I was convinced it was software, but with Tim's help we determined that it was in fact a licensing issue. Er . . . a licensing software issue. 🙂

We're running 9.4 on a virtual machine and using our networked physical license manager. That server has the LMTools for 9.3.x installed on it - LMTools version 11.4, which the beta doc said would work for 9.4 as well. Apparently this is inadequate for parcel editing.

We installed the license manager (LMTools v11.6?) included with 9.4 beta directly onto the virtual machine and are no longer pointing to the physical license server. We can now start a parcel job.

I have also experienced the same Parcel Editor error: �??There is no Survey Analyst license currently available�?�. Upgrading to v11.6 license manager did not solve the problem on our system though. It turns out that when you only have ArcInfo licenses and no ArcEditor licenses the Survey Analyst error pops up. When you add an ArcEditor license to the license manager, the error is gone (I added an evaluation license as a workaround). Thanks to Jeff S, ESRI for finding the reason for the error! The bug is logged as NIM051434.

Survey Analyst as a product is no more. Survey Analyst is the Parcel Editor Tools. The Cadastral Fabric is now known as the Parcel Fabric.

tQ so much for your help.
now you settled my misunderstanding.
may i know if i want to produce the parcel fabric what kind of data needed as the source data.
currently i have boundary data, control point data and lot data.
then, it is needed to run topology for these three data?

Re: Beta 10: Survey Analyst

TedCronin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:27:26 GMT

if I understand correctly, yes, there are 6 rules that have to be cleaned in topology prior to the load. The topology can then be used for the actual load. You have boundary ( poly, lines), because you should have both, think of the fabric as being comparable to the coverage data model. So, ideally, you should have a poly, Pline, control is nice. Throw your poly and lines into a topology.

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//009000000004000000.htm

Loads polygon and line features
that participate in a topology into a target parcel fabric. The topology
requires a predefined set of topology rules:

Line�??Must be Covered by

Line�??Must Not

Line�??Must Not

Line�??Must be Single

Line�??Must Not Intersect

Polygon�??Boundary Must be

Ha. Thanks Denise. I don't really do the forums to get points. I am not on here to win anything, so no worries from me. My goal is to not get any points, and no actual answers checked. If I can answer questions, and post good stuff, and no one does anything, that is my goal. Seriously, no joke. Just here for beta testing.:eek: I am already failing at my goal.:(
