Joel, What release of ArcGIS and ArcSDE are you using? thanks, ... View more

I am getting this error now, did you find a solution for this? This error could be due to a number of things, the best way to track down these types of errors is to work with Technical Support on this issue so they can attempt to reproduce the issue.  If this is due to a bug, they'll submit the issue to Development so we can evaluate it.  Knowing what release and Service Pack you're using to Reconcile is also important, as we fix issues with Reconcile at Service Packs and releases. ...

I started it on a new server and am simply recreating the databases and importing in all of the feature classes. Chris, can you outline the exact steps you were using when you were "importing in all the feature classes"? thanks, ... View more

We're aware of this issue and plan to address it in 10.1 SP2.  If you haven't already, contact Technical Support and have your account associated with the bug so that you can properly track it. ... View more

Stephanie, A couple of things: - Can you confirm that you are trying to copy a geometric network and not a network dataset? - What license level are you using?  Is it ArcView? ... View more

This section of the doc explains the table and the values within it: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Welcome_to_the_ArcGIS_Professional_Help_Library/00qn0000001p000000/ ... View more

Yes, this is permissible and possible.  Your screenshot of the Rules tab looks incorrect though; the origin and destination table or feature class should be listed in the dialogs on the left hand side.  This would allow you to select/check them so that you can define cardinality. How were these feature classes created? Can you attach a zipped up personal or file geodatabase with the feature classes so we can take a look? ... View more

You seem to be running into an issue with Upgrade, I have not seen those errors before. The best way to track this down is to work with Technical Support, I suggest you contact them so you can get this issue looked at.  If they determine it is a bug, it will be sent to the Development team to evaluate and fix. ...

David, Take a look at the following help topic: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/#/A_quick_tour_of_geodatabase_system_tables/006z000000tr000000/ and this help topic: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/#/Returning_a_list_of_relationship_classes/006z000000v0000000/ they provide examples of how to access the information in the Definition field of the GDB_Items table. ...

Thank you for your response.  That works for exporting but there is not an option to import once you double click to open the geodatabase.  This issue is recent because I imported and exported XML workspace documents fine previously but the tool has been disabled for some reason.  I only have this problem in Arc 10 too.  We have a workstation still running 9.3 and the import and export works fine. J. Kelly You should see an Import pull-right at the bottom of which is an option for an XML Workspace Document.  If you don't, something may be wrong with your installation and you might need to re-install.  If you're not sure how to proceed, I'd recommend contacting Technical Support. ...

Try double clicking to open the File Geodatabase and then right click on it to access the menu. ... View more

we cannot have specific properties for subtypes besides the properties of its parent class. There are some properties that can be specific for Subtypes that differ from the properties of the feature class; examples of this are the attribute domains and default values.  However, the field collection for a feature class also applies to the Subtypes; so the field collection cannot differ between the feature class and subtype. And hence, since no field can be added to subtype class, there is no way that it can have domains. To be clear, you can assign different attribute domains to a field at the subtype level. ...

Hello, I am currently facing problems to add custom fields to subtypes of a feature class. The situation is this: one feature class has many subtypes, only one of the subtypes need to have a new field which is not in the parent feature class. This field has a coded value domain on it. feature class: Utility Subtypes: sewage lines, other lines, electric_cable....etc To electric_cable I need to add a field cable_type[domain: distribution_line/transmission_line]. In ArcCatalog I am unable to do this. Is this possible? This is not possible.  Subtypes inherit the fields from the feature class; so when a field is added to a feature class; it applies to all subtypes.  If you have a scenario like this where a field only applies to 1 subtype and not others; that is case where we recommend that you break the feature class out into multiple feature classes.  The other option is to add the field to the feature class and not populate it for the subtypes to which it does not apply.  I wouldn't recommend this option, it can lead to confusion and incorrect data. It's very rare to have a single class called "utility lines" with different types of utility lines contained within it.  Besides their geometry and some basic attributes; sewage lines and electric cables have very little in common. ...

Ted, can you supply the schema of the Topology you created at 10.1 so that I can recreate it here? I'm not able to reproduce the issue that you're reporting. thanks, ... View more

Another more serious issue, is after enabling editor tracking on a 10 sde database (then disabling it), the 10 access speeds have slowed to a crawl.  We started on 10.1 updates because of the issue.  10 minutes to select a record and have it show up in the Attributes window.  When relationship classes are in place, the table fields have a serious lag time.  Editing Anno has slowed to a crawl. Ted, we have not seen this issue and I can't reproduce it.  Can I ask you to contact Tech Support and open an incident so they can trouble shoot it and try and get a repro case for us to look at? ...
