I was not able to publish a composite locator when I was trying to publish it from the ArcGIS server computer but when I published it from my workstation it was successful. The composite locator is in sde.
Has anyone heard from ESRI or know what the best practice is for storing locators? I have read that it is recomended that you store locators in a file folder and not the SDE? Any truth to this?
When I last spoke with Esri about this (don't recall how long ago), I was told that keeping locators in SDE was not good. I have since moved my locators to a file GDB, with the location registered in ArcGIS Server as a data store, and all my problems with geocoding were resolved. I'd prefer if they would do what it takes for locators to work properly when stored in SDE, though.
Hi Marc, thanks for your response. I'm not sure why locators would be better if you do not use the SDE, seems a little backwards to me. ? In any event, I have mine stored in a standard file folder, registered as a data store and things run well.
Thanks agian for your input. Happy mapping.
