Creating Enterprise Geodatabase Issues

[DanaYoung]

Hi -

I have been trying to create my first Enterprise Geodatabase and it is not going smoothly. I keep getting an error with the Authorization file stating "parameter is missing or invalid" and I copied the keycode from where the information icon stated to get the keycode from.

I have a case open with Esri about this and we have gone through various troubleshooting, but still no luck. The case is still open and hopefully Esri IT can help, but in the meantime I thought I'd reach out to see if others have come across a similar issue.

Thanks for any insight to this issue.

Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately I still cannot get the database to link up to Enterprise, even after following the documentations listed here. Esri is still working on what the issues could be. But even in creating a workspace geodatabase I still get a "Cannot connect" error. And all the server settings are turned on to connect outside of the server.

What do you mean "Link up to Enterprise"?  I thought you had a licensing problem?  First things first, did you manage to license the SQL Express database you have, and can you add feature classes (Etc) from Pro?
