Rename Feature Class Error - Failed to Rename selected objects FDO error....

[ducksunlimited]

Dear All,

When I tried to rename a feature class in a feature dataset. It threw me an error:

Failed to rename selected objects
FDO error: -2147215905 [Eng.GISEditor.LandParcel]
Table already registered [underlying DBMS error]

I used an editor account with permission of create/delete. No locks and no invalid characters in the name. Ironically, I can rename other feature classes within the same feature dataset. What's the reason?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

Hi Chris,

    Please check your new feature class name already exists in TABLE_REGISTRY(SDE table) or not?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply! I found the table name exsiting in sde_table_registration, but not in business tables.

So i guess the table wasn't deleted within ArcCatalog, and actually accidently deleted in SQL server.
