I am facing problem with creating a ArcSDE service for some existing geodatabase. Error message: Error: Operation Failed (-1). Error upgrading authorization key. I am choosing custom option during ArcSDE post installation for MS SQL Server. And i am doing the following operations: 1.Repository setup 2.Authorize ArcSDE 3.Create ArcSDE service
If I try without selecting the option Authorize ArcSDE then it is working fine. But then I am not able to connect it from ArcCatalog because without authorizing ArcSDE service it now allow to connect.
And also when i try the fresh post installation with Complete option then there is no problem the problem is only when i am trying to create arcsde service for some existing database.
My goal here is : On production server we have a ArcSDE service and it's geodatabase now i took backup of that geodatabase and restored on my test server and then after i am trying the ArcSDE post installation to create ArcSDE service for the newly restored database so that i can connect it from ArcCatalog.
Hello all, i found where i was doing wrong, i am posting here if it help anyone. During restore i was changing the database name as well the database logical file name and that was creating the issue.
