Annotation Class (SDE)

DanFromWI

We have a standard annotation class in a few datasets in SDE that do not allow us to add, delete or rename the annotation classes in the properties. However, we are able to do this in a file geodatabase. We are using ArcMap 10.5.1. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how did you resolve it? Finally, we have contacted ESRI and they are unable to provide an answer.

Yes, a lock is consuming it. When I stop running ArcGIS Server it allows me to change the anno classes in the anno feature class. I just don’t want to have to stop ArcGIS Server to make changes. Schema locks are bad enough with it. So, will I have to stop my web services every time I edit anno classes in my properties?!

Thanks for your Reply,

Thanks for your reply,

The desktop and license manager are running 10.5.1

It doesn’t seem to matter if the anno feature class is in a geometric network or not or if it is verstioned-those things don’t seem to matter. However, when I stop running ArcGIS Server it allows me to change the anno classes in the anno feature class. I just don’t want to have to stop ArcGIS Server to make changes. Schema locks are bad enough in ArcGIS.

1. 10.5.1

2. Feature class anno

3. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s in a network

Also, when I turn off ArcGis Server, then I can make changes to the feature class anno properties..

1. What is the License level for ArcGIS Desktop? 10.5.1
2. Did you create a map annotation or an annotation feature class? Annotation feature class in SDE
3. The feature class residing in the enterprise database, is it already participating in any complex relationship (e.g. Network dataset, Geometric dataset. Yes, it is part of a Network dataset with simple and complex edges, etc. I may try moving the annotation feature to a separate feature dataset without the network….

License level would mean (Basic, Standard, Advanced) 10.5.1 is the version of the product.

The annotation that you are trying create are they feature linked annotations?

My knee jerk answer as that you have an orphan schema lock. In db admin, go to connections, and kill them all (like Pokemon). My second knee jerk answer is...can you post a screen shot(s) of exactly what/how you're trying the operation? You may be in a known limitation....

Dan,

Since you are able to create annotations for the data residing in a file geodatabase,I just wanted to confirm a few things:

What is the License level for ArcGIS Desktop?
Did you create a map annotation or an annotation feature class?
The feature class residing in the enterprise database, is it already participating in any complex relationship (e.g. Network dataset, Geometric dataset.

Well, I checked again once, and Registering as Versioned, should not make those options Grayed Out.

As I suggested earlier, try the below:

Is the data in that Feature Dataset consumed in any services? Maybe a Lock is preventing?
If you make sure that there are no connections to the Geodatabase and then try, does it help?

We do not get an error message. It seems once we version the dataset the anno feature class the options are ‘grayed’ out.

What issues do you face? Is there an error message? What is the error message, if any?
What configuration are you using (Database, Database version, Enterprise gdb version)?

Is the data in that Feature Dataset consumed in any services? Maybe a Lock is preventing?

If you make sure that there are no connections to the Geodatabase and then try, does it help?

If you create a copy of that same Feature Dataset, in that same Enterprise gdb, does it show the same behavior?
