Hi Asrujit,
Thank you for the helpful contribution!
Actually, I got confused. I came from the enterprise geodatabase environment, and new to the Workgroup GDB; when I create an enterprise geodatabase, or enable an enterprise database to be enterprise GEODATABASE, I am asked to provide an authorization file (in the screen shots below). However, in the case of Workgroup GDB, I can create it without providing any authorization (in the third screenshot). At what level should I authorize the workgroup geodatabase? May you please explain?
May you please also elaborate how can I check the Server_config table in SQL Server Management Studio (My experience with SQL Server is shallow)?
Best Regards,
1- Creating an enterprise Geodatabase; it Asks for an authorization file
2- Enabling enterprise Geodatabase; it also asks for the authorization file
3- Creating a Workgroup Geodatabase; it DOES NOT ask for any authorization file!
