System Default Map Plan Switched With Another Plan

[JohnFell]

All,


ArcGIS Version: 10.1 SP1
SQL SRVR Version: 2008 R2
ArcSDE Version: 10.1 SP1 (x64)

We have identified curious behavior with our plans table. It appears that our System Default Map Plan has switched with another plan. Another plan has appeared to have inherited the system default map plan parcels.

The editor who created the plan mentioned having difficulty creating the plan. They may have renamed the default map plan from the plan directory. Is it possible rename the default map plan?

If this is possible, I believe that renaming the default map plan means that the rename captured all of the parcels linked to the original. The new default map plan has 61 parcels in it so perhaps it was recreated? Any thoughts on what could be happening?

See the output from a query of our SQL Server Database in the attached snapshots.

John,

You can rename the <map> plan.

I'm still not exactly sure how this happened, but you can calculate the PlanID field which could be related. 

Were you able to re-calculate the parcels to the proper plan?

Chris,

We verified that a new system default map plan was indeed created. It had the following settings: name = '<map>' and description = 'System default plan'. Once the original system default map plan (SDMP) was renamed, it no longer acted as a container for newly created parcels sent to the <map> plan. We verified this in our development environment. We did calculate the PlanID for those parcels that were created in the new SDMP but that belonged to the original SDMP after renaming the original to its appropriate name. See Incident #1268328.
