Good afternoon everyone. I looked everywhere for this specific problem and could not find an answer anywhere. Our current setup:
Versioned SDE feature dataset that is being used for field data collection.
After turning off services and removing the database locks, I've tried to add in the GPS metadata fields to the feature classes. Each time I try this it works for a long time and then cannot complete the task - with an error similar to a Z axis not defined or default value.
So I made a rookie mistake when setting up the feature dataset two years ago and didn't define a Z coordinate system in the primary feature dataset. Now that I am trying to implement broad data collection work integrated with our new GPS equipment, I have two questions for the group:
- Is it possible to create GPS metadata fields on a feature class in a feature dataset that doesn't have the z coordinate system defined? It appears not, but wanted to check. note that I was able to create those same fields in a different feature dataset that DID have the Z coordinate system defined.
- Is there any way to simply assign the Z coordinate system to the feature dataset after it is up and running? I really want to avoid having to re-create the feature dataset if I can.
Thanks for your help!
