This enhancement would be very useful for a large organization such as a county government. ... View more

I agree with the below comments.  In addition to attachment changes, I do not want to store the attachments in 2 locations if I already have a robust document management system. ... View more

Kevin: Is your ArcGIS Server software on a Windows machine?  Does this machine get automatic Windows updates?  If so, this could be changing your server setup which could be causing these problems?  Not a likely answer, just something to look into if the previous post does not solve your problem. ...

I don't know if this question has been answered.  In order to avoid data duplication, is it possible to have images stored in their original location outside the attachment feature class and just have the attachment records created as pointers to the original data? This way you would not have the original data and then a copy of the data in the attachment feature class.  It seems like this is what quite a few people are actually looking for. ... View more

Maybe it is a problemmatic data record.  I would try cutting down the dataset until you can get to the record(s) that is causing the problem.  Then you might try seeing differences between data in the bad record compared to data in records that are successfully geocoded. ... View more

How many records are in this problematic dataset? Can you try making a smaller dataset (say 10%) and see if it gets through that dataset? ... View more

Paths to files can be tricky sometimes. Can you provide your script so I can take at look at how you are referencing the path to your data sources (e.g. file geodatabase(s))? ... View more

You should just be able to add files from a workspace (directory containing the tif file and the other associated files) and they should all be automatically utilized by the mosaic dataset. ... View more

Bryan: I would create a mosaic dataset with just a few images (5-7) and build the overviews, making sure it is viewable in ArcCatalog and ArcMap at all scales so you know if was built correctly.  Then extrapolate the time for that number of images to the total number of images to give your manager an estimate of how long it will take you to rebuild the complete mosaic dataset. ...

Bryan: You have a lot of issues with your Mosaic Dataset, all of which I have never seen before.  I would try to take a few images that you know are adjacent to each other and make a small mosaic dataset from just those images including creating new overviews which I would store in a new file geodatabase.  I would then see if the images display correctly at all scales.  You could then begin adding more images to this mosaic dataset and then update the overviews to reflect the additional images.  I would recommend this approach as a way to learn mosaic datasets since you are a beginner and I would not dive into the deep end of the pool if I did not at least know how to swim. ...

I am programmatically saving edits exactly the same way for both Personal and File Geodatabases. Am I supposed to be handling these two cases differently in code? I would not think there should be a difference if there is no dialog box with the manual method that would let the enduser choose the type of geodatabase they are using for their replication. At this least I would log an incident with ESRI to see if they can duplicate this behavior in their environment, in which case if would be a bug that they would need to fix with a future service pack. ...

Bryan: I would try repairing the tif images first.  After pointing the mosaic dataset to the correct location for the tif images on your network, I would run the repair again only checking for broken links which should just be the overviews if you supplied the correct path to the tif images.  I would then preview the mosaic dataset in ArcCatalog.  You will not see the images when zoomed to full-scale (this is where the overviews are used), but you will see the images if you zoom in to a scale where only 1 image is in the extent.  Once you have the images pathed correctly, I would then work on repointing the overviews.  If you cannot get the overviews to work, I would recreate them (This might take some time, but it should not be difficult). ...

I know you work for a small company with limited resources, but you might think about using an EDN license for your upgraded GIS environment in the future to test for any bugs before taking the dive into the deep end of the pool.  This is a lower cost license you can get for development and testing. ...

Did you ever try to implement this process as an Add-In when you were using v10.1?  I ask, because I have found that processes that worked in v10.1 now have issues in v10.2 which need to be addressed by ESRI.  These items include changes to mapservice cache processing, multi-versioned views and uploading data to ArcGIS Online. ...
