Hello everyone,
I've got a two-way replica and I'm trying to make some basic schema changes to the parent, and then transfer them to the child. The schema changes I'm trying to make are: adding three fields to a feature class that participates in a feature data set that has a geometric network. I'm not sure if this is supported or not, the chart of allowed schema changes was a little ambiguous to me in this regard.
What I'm doing:
I right click on the parent database in the catalog window, go to Distributed Geodatabase, and Compare Replica Schema. In the wizard window, I select the child database, the replica name, and output the file to one of our network drives.
Then, in the catalog window, I right click on the child database and select Import Replica Schema, and in that window, I navigate to the XML file. After it locates the file, it lags for almost a minute, and eventually populates the input box with the XML file. This is where the problem occurs, the Replica Name and Replica Type sections never get populated, and the "Next >" button stays grayed out. Am I missing an important step, or doing something wrong? Is there some kind of consideration I need to be making?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I'm using ArcSDE 10.0, and running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
