Now, unfortunately, this issue has re-surfaced.  I've had to drop and re-create the network on this database and I'm getting the original error -- even with the undo_retention parameter set to 150000.  I re-executed the SQL and found that the optimal value was now at about 278000 so I reset undo_retention to 300000.  Same error results. Now I'm going to try two things: 1.  Return the parameter to its original setting - 900 2.  Contact ESRI tech support Ed ... View more

Forgot to mention another, probably somewhat unique aspect of this environment.  I'm running ArcGIS 10.2.1.  However, prior to installing this version I had installed 10.2.2.  When I found that a partner's solution expected only 10.2.1 I un-installed 10.2.2 and re-installed 10.2.1.  Wondering if something in the un-install and re-install left aspects of the topology engine confused.

Yep.  Quite sure.  Was working with it up to the point of the crash. I really, really appreciate your help with this.  Am thinking restoring from backup will be the best course as well. Thanks again, Ed ... View more

Tried, and it errored in the feature class Export process with the message "Cannot create output <feature class>" Sure looks like the Feature Dataset definition is corrupted in some way and the feature classes can't get a reference back to get their spatial reference. Ed ... View more

My next step would be to re-load this database from back-up, so deleting rows from the LOCKS tables is OK with me.   So it did. However, when connecting to ArcCatalog I appear to be in the same boat.  Classes in the "corrupt" database still error on opening with the message "Failed to process XML..." Feature classes in other datasets behave OK. Ed ... View more

Clicking on the "Locks" tab actually throws the error message "Failed to process XML data, possibly due to data corruption". On dismissing the error message the list is empty -- if that means anything. ... View more

I did the shutdown and start-up (through I usually do this through the Sevices applet) so it took me a bit. Queries returned the same results as before. Ed ... View more

Thanks for jumping in.. Oracle 11.2.0.1 ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 Everything's on one machine.. Windows 7 The query returns one row.  MAJOR 10 MINOR 1 etc. Ed ... View more

A little more information on this. There are four datasets in the database.  Only one of them has this problem.   The other four seem to be OK.  The dataset with the problem had a participating feature class present in an ArcMap session when the computer crashed. Ed ... View more

For what its worth, on a suggestion I tried deleting my Normal.mxt... which sounded plausible but did not solve the problem. Ed ... View more

Here's some more information on this problem.  I gave a copy of the FGDB to a colleague to test.  She was able to successfully complete the "Buffer' operation on the same class I've been trying -- though my attempts always fail. We're both running ArcMap 10.2.1.3497.  Both running the Geoprocessing tool in the foreground. I've tried opening a new map document and adding only this one layer to it.  Buffer still fails. Since it works for my colleague running the same software on a different machine it would seem there's something about my particular environment....  hmmmmm.... Ed ... View more

Curtis - Thanks for the suggestion.  I ran check geometry on the class and its all ok.  I'm running as an administrator. You mentioned an article on topology tools failing but was there a link to this? Thanks again, Ed ... View more

Mark - Thanks for the suggestion.  However, I don't have background processing enabled.  It tries to process right in front of me.. and fails pretty quickly at that. Ed ... View more
