I'm afraid at this point I can't suggest anything else without looking at your database.  Please contact Technical Support so they can help you investigate this issue. ... View more

I recall being able to copy layers in one GDB, and then paste, and in the data transfer dialog being able to change the names, currently, that functionality is not working as I recall. Ted, the name can only be changed when there is a name conflict with another class in the target geodatabase. ... View more

re good morning i tried manually associating the domain with the field in ArcCatalog but in the dropdown list of doamin didn't work it's locked so i can't associate the field with the domain. note i have implemented the geodatabase in the DBMS (sqlqerver) with CASETOOl Thank you Can you clarify what is locked?  Is it the feature class? ...

No the domain is not associated with the field. the field type is long and the domain field type is entier long When i verify the list of coded value domain in the database with the tool 'Domain Sort' the domain appear. In order for the domain to appear in ArcMap, it needs to be associated with the field. Can you try manually associating the domain with the field in ArcCatalog and test if that allows you to see the domain dropdown in ArcMap? ... View more

I've never seen this error with Validate Features, I suggest you contact Technical Support so they can investigate your case and look at the data to try and determine the cause of the error. ... View more

Ted, This information is located on the General tab for the Feature Class dialog under the Geometry section. Adding it to the Feature Dataset is not really possible; since Feature Datasets do not have a geometry storage type themselves and it is possible that feature classes contained within a feature dataset can have different storage types. ...

Can you confirm that the domain is associated with correct field by checking the Field tab on the Feature Class or Table property page?  Can you also confirm that the field type and domain's field type match? ... View more

A few questions: - What release of ArcGIS are you using? - Do the Coded Value Domains appear when you look at the domain in ArcCatalog? ... View more

Brittany, this could be due to a number of issues, the best way for us to look at the issue is for you to log a tech support incident.  Ask the Analyst to contact me when you have the incident logged. thanks, ... View more

Jacob, We've been investigating NIM064663 and believe we have a fix for it.  One thing we did find is that the issue referenced in the bug was primarily due to connections to the geodatabase using a Desktop client (like ArcCatalog), over a wide area network, such as the internet.  Is this the situation you are in? ...

Please contact Technical Support so they can work with you to identify the root cause of the slower connection times at 10.0.  We have gotten reports of this and need you to work with Technical Support to isolate the issue. ... View more

John, If you're using 10.0, take a look at using Attachments.  They allow you to attach files to features within a feature class. ... View more

You can also query the information from the GDB_Items table.  This help topic contains the steps on how to do this: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Determining_which_data_is_versioned/006z000000v1000000/ ... View more

Chris, Take a look at the following article: http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/conceptualhelp/index.html#/Creating_geodatabases/0001000004t8000000/ It shows how to create geodatabases stored in SQL Server Express. ... View more

32 is a lot of feature classes to have a in a geometric network, it's probably the most number of classes that I've ever seen.  Here's why I'm raising this as an potential issue; as I mentioned, each time you create a new feature, the geodatabase opens a cursor on each class in the network.  If we can handle 5 cursors in 1 second (as an example); you would be looking at over 6 seconds to determine whether there are any features at that location.  This is a cost you are paying every time you create a new feature.  So, I would strongly suggest that you try and re-assess the number of feature classes in your network.  If you are adamant that you cannot either decrease the number of feature classes in the network or drop the network in order to load the features; then consider using a Map Cache.  If you're loading data into discrete areas of you network, with a reasonable number of existing features (reasonable being a couple thousand) you could try to build a Map Cache over the area you're loading the features into.  This could speed up a performance a bit, but you will need to prototype this. ...
