Could not create geodatabase tables and stored procedures

[NirmalOjha]

I want to enable SDE on the SQL Server DB but I get error with 'Could not create  geodatabase tables and stored procedures'. I tried with ArcGIS Pro (v2.4), ArcCatalog (v 10.4.1), SQL Server 2014.

I followed through this support page: Error: Could not create geodatabase tables and stored procedures. Failed to execute (EnableEnterpris... but no resolution. I get the similar (same) error message shown in that page.

It can connect to other DB on the same server without problem.

What is the exact version of your SQL Server 2014? The min is SP3.

What other information are in the log files referenced in the errors?

Thanks George for quick reply.

The SQL Server 2014 is SP2. So, this might be the cause. Is there anything that can be done without installing/updating with the service pack. I don't have access to the Server (for now)? I have other couple of SDE enabled DBs in the same server.

Here is the Message I get when I run from toolbox:

Executing: EnableEnterpriseGeodatabase "Database Connections\AAAA.sde" C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\AGS_Test\keycode_AGS\keycodes

See the setup log in the following location for additional error information:

The log file content is:

I would recommend that you upgrade the SP on SQL Server for the new Enterprise Geodatabase creation.

What is the name DB being created?

Is the DB set up as DBO or as SDE schema?

Can you provide a screenshot of the empty database and any tables that are created after it fails?

[NirmalOjha]

It is DBO schema.

I ran the "Create Enterprise Geodatabase" tool and it successfully created the database but no tables and procedures were created.

Authentication: Operating system Authentication, my user account has full access (admin level) to the DB server.

So I tired with "Enable Enterprise Geodatabase" but same result.

Here is the screen shot of the DB that is created with "Create Enterprise Geodatabase" tool.

So, for me the connection to SQL server should have no issue as it created the DB.

Ok, you may want to contact Esri technical support and work with an analyst on this.

Thanks George.

I will first upgrade the SQL Server and if it did not resolve I will contact technical support.
