Utilities Abandon Features Tool Not Working with Enterprise Geodatabase?

[AlanToms]

Hello,

I am having an issue with the Abandon Features script from the Water Utility Network Editing tools.

I am trying to abandon a feature from the wMain feature class.  If the the abandon features are set to go to the wAbandonedLine feature class on my enterprise geodatabase it will fail with the below message.  If I set it to the wAbandonedLine in the file geodatabase that came with the tools it works fine.  It is a 10.1 SP1 environment.  The enterprise geodatabase is using the SQL geometry spatail type.  Any ideas?

Paul,

This link appears to be dead. Is there a new version of the tools that includes this fix?

Thanks

Allyson,

The most recent version is available at Esri/local-government-desktop-addins

I'm experiencing a problem with the most recent version of the tool. In this instance, I'm attempting to abandon features in two feature classes: water mains and fittings. All feature classes are editable and exist in the same SDE database. When I execute the Abandon Features tool, I receive this result:

Executing: AbandonFeatures 'Water Network\Watermain';'Water Network\Fitting' "Water Network\Abandoned\ABD Line" "Water Network\Abandoned\ABD Point" false LAYER_NAME LAYER_NAME "Record Set"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Alex, 

Does the tools work when you have just a single water main or a single fitting selected to be abandoned?

[AlexBryan]

It does not. The tool works fine if I move the abandon layers to a file geodatabase.

A few more questions/suggestions:

Do you get the same error for linear features that references the appropriate abandon feature class, ie lines for lines?

From the MXD you are using to abandon the features to the SDE connection:

1. enter an edit session to the SDE database.
2. select a single linear feature, a water line segment for example.
3. from the edit menu select cut, then select paste
4. in the paste dialog select the water abandoned lines layer as the target and click OK.  You may need to zoom into the a level the abandoned features are visible, for it to display in the dialog drop down

Did this paste into the abandoned FC? If not, you have a permissions issue with the DB.

Try the same for a point feature and the abandon point layer

When you are using the abandoned feature tool, try dragging the abandoned line layer and abandoned point layer from your TOC to the appropriate drop down on the tool and drop them.  Then try and abandon a single feature.  The path name in the error message you provided does not look correct for an SDE connection.  I am working on a production system at the moment so I cannot experiment to get a error message for comparison.

We've been able to troubleshoot the issue. The features I'm attempting to abandon are in a geometric network and therefore in a feature dataset. The ABDPoint and ABDLine FCs are also contained in this feature dataset. The tool is failing to recognize the catalog path to the feature dataset. The tool will work if the features being abandoned and the ABD FCs are all outisde of a feature dataset.

This makes this tool unusable for anyone attempting to abandon any features in a feature dataset or geometric network?
