Exporting to shape file via Arc Catalog at SP4

[LakshmiSankaran]

I just upgraded to (ArcGIS 10) SP4 and find that the export to a shape file via ArcCatalog from our ArcSDE (10), is not working. It starts of well, and then crawls to a feature class to feature class window moving at 1% per minute.

I have no problems exporting out of ArcMap (Data-Export). Anyone else have the same issue?
Thanks

This was a known bug in v10 sp3 (see my thread)

I haven't bothered to install sp4 yet.  Guess it didn't fix that....

Thank you for that prompt response. The earlier thread mentions SP 5 from Esri.

SP 5? I thought 10.1 is rolling out at the users conference...  :cool:

There's usually one last back-port of the Final/SP1 fixes to the previous rev's
terminal service pack.  That's what SP5 will be.

10.1 will likely be be out before the UC, but 10.1 will have a starring role at the UC.

Do you need to regularly export feature classes out of on ArcSDE Geodatabase to Shape file format?  If you do, try using the ArcSDE "sde2shp" administration command.  You could create a batch file containing these commands.  The sde2shp command is very fast even for very large feature classes.
