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. ...

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? ...

What doesn't make sense is where 10.0 and 10 SP1, support editor tracking , and SP2, SP3, SP4, and SP5 don't support editor tracking. Ted, to clarify, 10.0 Final and 10.0 SP1 do not support Editor Tracking. We added checks starting at SP2 to look for datasets with new functionality to prevent users from incorrectly opening them with an older release where the new functionality was not supported which could lead to data loss/corruption. ...

Ted, What version of 10.0 with Service Pack are you using? thanks, ... View more

Have you confirmed there are no other active connections to the Geodatabase?  The upgrade process requires no other connected users in order to run. ... View more

Your best course of action to move forward is to contact ESRI Technical Support so they can troubleshoot this issue.  Without the data and a reproducible case, it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. Regards, ... View more
