Thank you Russell. I already have a py script to loop through feature datasets, so I would conceivably just use that one for awhile after 10.1 is formally released. However, for people just getting started in managing gdbs these are both useful tools, in that they simplify workflows. Its too bad the actual tool does have its limits, but as end users we are always going to get maximum flexibility with python.

Cool tool. I can explicitly run analyze, but I only want to run from the dataset level, and the only option is to itemize every fc, so if I have 100 feature datasets with 20 feature classes in most of the fd, that is a lot of selecting, especially at the last minute that I don't want to analyze 1 specific FD with its 40 sub layers. This change would need to be un selected manually. Seems like I should have the capability to just analyze at the FD level, too. Do like the idea though, at least 1 script will need to be reworked.

On windows 7 with this tool, after I set the datasets to rebuild, I click OK, it does some processing (windows NOT GIS) and then refreshes with no change to the tool. Second time, I click OK, the tool runs as expected. It should run the first time. This tool does what exactly, does it delete the index and then re add the index to do the rebuilding...

The way I understand this tool is I connect to a enterprise sde workspace and when I do, I see datasets where indexes may exist and then I can rebuild them all. Currently, when I connect to sde, my Dataset box is blank. Is that expected to be blank? Logging in as dbo is the reason. Logging in as Owner I can see the FDs and standalone features/tables. There needs to be something in the doc when this tool is launched. I currently see: Input WorkspaceThe enterprise geodatabase that contains the data to be updated. Perhaps something can be added that indicates the owner needs to be used, or an error needs to get triggered for the input box when another connection is used in place of owner, or even perhaps this is just a bug.

Thank you Mark. Explorer Desktop is a lot slower than Reader. It doesn't like our data as much as Reader, but I understand why... I will have to test it with the hosted maps, so that might speed things up.

Not sure if this goes here, or GDB, but you guys should get it, either way. This tool from the help says that: The names of each feature class are created by combining a user-defined base name appended with either PointsErrors, LineErrors, or PolygonErrors. Does that mean the layers are to be called Base Name + PointsErrors? I currently am seeing BaseName_point (line(poly)). This table is pretty confusing, too. I am expecting to see at least an Origin, and if there are two layers an Origin and Destination. Currently, I am seeing if there is an Origin, there is no Destination, and vice versa. Also, very few Origin Classes. I have some NULL Object IDs, which seems like strange. Perhaps that doc can list more info for RuleType (http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00170000015w000000). So for esriTRTAreaAreaCoverEachOther, I am thinking there should be an Origin and a Destination, because this sounds like Must Cover Each Other, but with no doc, or explanation it makes it challenging. Doc also lists a Rule Description but the table does not have a Desc. isException (-1, or 0), HUH, doc says A value of 1 identifies the error as being an exception, problem is that there are no 1s, just -1s. So, I am thinking that this tool just grabs what is "KNOWN", it does not validate, then export. If its dirty and never been validated, its not going to find anything. If it has been validated and is dirty it will find the errors. I do like the premise of what this tool is trying to do, but not yet on the delivery. It will be very useful in our migration to the parcel fabric, and other reporting capabilities for our other non fabric layers. Sounds like Yoda - esriTRTLineNoIntersectOrInteriorTouch Another cool by product is you can potentially create a ROW from the errors for polys.

Wow, lots of activity here...

Having issues with nexus with ics 4. Seems a bit laggy. Also, seeing refresh catalog errors for hosted maps. Trying to get a screen capture to make it easier to share. Using 3G is pretty bad, will have to wait till I get home with 4G, or wifi, to see if I can trigger the catalog issues. Using 10.1 Hosted Maps public services specifically for Android access.

Re: Duration of Connection for User · ‎01-10-2012

Nope. What I mean is I can get basic reporting now, based on the 10.1 functionality. I would like to get a report on how long a specific user was connected. The current capability allows to report on when they connected initially, not on how long they were connected. Is that possible? I am not disconnecting them. I want to be able to report a user who connects to my database, then they log off. I then run a script that tells me user Steve connected at 10:30am, did a sync to our database and then they logged off. I would then use this information for network optimization. Does this clarify more, Russell?

http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/File_properties/018v0000003t000000/ Looking at the doc, where can I find the additional properties for a file because the doc states: [h=2]Code SampleFile properties example (stand-alone script)The following stand-alone script displays some Describe Object properties for a file. Seems like the doc should show all rather than SOME Same with Folder Properties.

Duration of Connection for User · ‎01-09-2012

What is the recommended approach for reporting how long the user was connected, since ConnectionTime is The time when the user made the initial connection to the geodatabase? I mean, I know I could use Time, or datetime, to get a Now value, and then subtract that value from ConnectionTime, but I would not know when the user was disconnected, if they were disconnecting themselves, other then constantly pinging the database with ListUser and searching for specific users. Is there a way to easily achieve this with the new capability at 10.1 that i am not seeing off hand using arcpy? [INDENT][/INDENT]

Sorry it wasn't easier, the important thing, I suppose is you are able to start scripting. Was there an arcpy folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0? I am thinking this gets installed regardless, I can't say ever installing ArcGIS w/o python though, so you are the most experienced person I have met on these forums for this issue.

Is this new toolbar related to Parcel fabric?

Thanks, Ted. I'm having trouble locating the .pth file. Do you know where it usually lives or whether it is simply a matter of creating one? Thanks again. I would create a file, a text file, save it as a .pth file with the following paths (On Win7) and place it in the Lib\site-packages folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\bin C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\Scripts Make sure you install python 2.6.5, and numpy 1.0.3. Make sure you have arcpy in the ArcGIS path like: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy. If arcpy is here, then the .pth file should work. if arcpy is not located here, then I would try the add features for the install to try and trigger the arcpy ArcGIS scripts to load.
