That may be the case. I can't tell for sure but I do have an Address Management Add-in that it may be a part of. I believe that came from the Local Government section of the Resource Center. They've changed this around so much in the last couple of years I'm not sure exactly where to find it now. Maybe I'll do some additional tagging to see if that helps.

I woud really like to see the Field mapping section of the Append tool have more logic. I regularly import from GPS to my SDE. I cant get the schema to match up perfectly (program that exports the shapefile limits the field name length) so I did an append, every time I have to tell it that INSTALLDAT is the same as INSTALLDATE. Why can't it figure some of this out on its own?

I'm having issues with the Geocoding toolbar. There is a big long space to enter an address and the tooltip comes up telling you what to do but when I enter the address, nothing happens and I get the Windows error sound as if there is some invisible error message somewhere. I use this toolbar anyways for the Address Inspector to help assign new addresses but it would be nice to use it to quickly pan to a certain address in ArcMap. I attached the image just to be clear it is in the center where I entered a valid address. [ATTACH=CONFIG]34422[/ATTACH]

I am testing out a feature service for use in web editing, primarily through Collector. I am testing in ArcGIS Online. I tried to edit an existing feature and there are a couple of fields that have a yellow triangle and with an exclamation point next to them and a popup that states that this value is required. I cannot seem to figure out how this property is set. The two fields in one particular feature that are marked as required aren't really required and other fields that should be required are not required. How do I change the property of this? In the feature class it seems the only thing you could change is whether or not a field is nullable but that doesn't appear to affect anything else. The template doesn't have an option for requiring fields either. ArcGIS Online nor Collector have any options that I can find to alter this either. The service properties don't reference required fields either.

Ok, they are going to add me to the NIM. Thanks for your assistance.

I added that in front of all fields name and still get the same result as before. The other thing I can come up with is that maybe it doesn't like the join which causes the extra long field name with all of the dots? This was switched from a file geodatabase to SDE but the problem existed prior to that switch. I just wanted to try to fix it again. We are not in a position to stop using the joined table. The table is imported into SDE as a table from an Excel spreadsheet.

I am using the Search widget (not the eSearch) and I am having issues with the fields. First of all, whenever I try to change <fields all="true"> to false, I get a [RPC Fault faultString="Failed to execute query." faultCode="400" faultDetail=""]. When I change the value back to true, it runs just fine. I am using 3.6 of the Flex Viewer. Also on another similar note, one of my fields is based on a subtype so the field is an integer. In the popup it displays the number instead of the Description, is there a way to change this. I am using SDE as well. <?xml version="1.0" ?> <configuration label="Riverview Cemetery"> <zoomscale>50</zoomscale> <initialview>text</initialview> <layers> <layer> <name>Search by Last Name</name> <url>http://70.167.59.150/maps/rest/services/CemeteryWeb/MapServer/12</url> <expression>CemeteryRecords.LASTNAME like '[value]'</expression> <textsearchlabel>Search by Last Name [ Example: WHITE or WHI%]</textsearchlabel> <titlefield>CemeteryRecords.LASTNAME</titlefield> <linkfield></linkfield> <fields all="true"> <field name="Spaces.SpaceID" alias="Space ID"/> <field name="Spaces.Space" alias="Space"/> <field name="Spaces.Lot" alias="Lot"/> <field name="Spaces.Block" alias="Block"/> <field name="Spaces.Addition" alias="Addition"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.LASTNAME" alias="Last Name"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.FIRSTNAME" alias="First Name"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.M" alias="Middle Initial"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.BIRTHDATE" alias="Birth Date" dateformat="MM/DD/YYYY"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.DEATHDATE" alias="Death Date" dateformat="MM/DD/YYYY"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.Notes" alias="Notes"/> </fields> </layer> <layer> <name>Search by Space ID</name> <url>http://70.167.59.150/maps/rest/services/CemeteryWeb/MapServer/12</url> <expression>Spaces.SpaceID like '[value]'</expression> <textsearchlabel>Search by Space ID [ Example: WEST.10.1.3 or SOUTH.1.7(all CAPS)]</textsearchlabel> <titlefield>Spaces.SpaceID</titlefield> <linkfield></linkfield> <fields all="true"> <field name="Spaces.SpaceID" alias="Space ID"/> <field name="Spaces.Space" alias="Space"/> <field name="Spaces.Lot" alias="Lot"/> <field name="Spaces.Block" alias="Block"/> <field name="Spaces.Addition" alias="Addition"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.LASTNAME" alias="Last Name"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.FIRSTNAME" alias="First Name"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.M" alias="Middle Initial"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.BIRTHDATE" alias="Birth Date"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.DEATHDATE" alias="Death Date"/> <field name="CemeteryRecords.Notes" alias="Notes"/> </fields> </layer> <layer> <name>Search by Lot ID</name> <url>http://70.167.59.150/maps/rest/services/CemeteryWeb/MapServer/13</url> <expression>LotID like '[value]'</expression> <textsearchlabel>Search by Lot ID [ Example: WEST.10.1 OR SOUTH.1 (all CAPS)]</textsearchlabel> <titlefield>LotID</titlefield> <linkfield></linkfield> <fields all="false"> <field name="LOT" alias="LOT"/> <field name="BLOCK" alias="BLOCK"/> <field name="ADDITION" alias="ADDITION"/> <field name="LotID" alias="Lot ID"/> </fields> </layer> </layers> </configuration>

I'm putting this widget through its paces on this one. I have a feature that I would like to view attachments, which works fine and also open a link in a related table. The link is to a video file that I didn't want to have attached to the database because it will make the geodatabase too large. If I can't get this to work, I may just include the links in the main file, but the relate would be better for me. UPDATE: I actually go this to work, it is a bit clunky because of the way I set it up but I was wondering if there was a good way to change the location. As it is now the link is just the file name so the widget was looking for it in the same directory as itself. I fixed that for now by putting it in the same location as the config file. I also tried to add a folder name to the hyperlink in my feature class and that also worked. I'm just wondering if there is a tag that I can use to tell the widget to look in a different location. On another note, if decide not to use the relate is it possible to have multiple hyperlink fields? In other words, link to more than one place. I would just add a field to my feature class with the new file name.

George, I appreciate that. I'm still new to SDE and I forget about versioning all of the day mostly due to the fact that I am a single user. I migrated to SDE not necessarily for the multiuser ability but for some of the other features, namely feature services. It would be quite helpful if the error was a bit more descriptive and explained why the Geometric Network cannot be built.

‎04-24-2014

I was attempting to create a geometric network in my sde. I had the geometric network in place in my file geodatabase and now I am ready to recreate the Geometric Network in SDE now that I've made the transition. I tried to create the Geometric Network and I get an error message. Cannot create geometric network. The selected feature dataset does not contain any feature classes which can participate in a new geometric network. Its as if the software thinks there is a geometric network already in place in the feature dataset but there isn't one. What could be going on here? I am using SQL for my SDE. I am using Database Authentication to access SQL.

But why am I allowed to add attachments but not edit the feature class? I guess that's because the table is on its own with a relationship class. The whole hierarchy thing is just confusing. If I have to register the feature classes at the feature dataset level how can you say that the dataset is not versioned? I don't recall making any changes that would have caused this but it is hard to say when it happened. This is something I find extremely frustrating about SDE. In order to add anything new I have to stop my services, I also have to stop my services to remove the locks to register anything as versioned. I didn't have to deal with that when I was using file geodatabases for my services. It may be important to note that the main reason I switched to SDE was for feature services and the attachments feature. I am currently the only user so I don't have to worry about multiple editors. The reason I have everything versioned is for editing purposes only and of course if in the future I add users, I would already have things set up that way.

What causes a feature dataset to suddenly become unversioned? I was editing a versioned feature class adding attachments. I needed to make an edit to an individual feature and I kept getting an error message that said I couldnt change a table without being in an edit session. Turns out that the dataset lost its versioning and I had to reregister as versioned. Is there something causing this to happen? I also discovered that multiple other datasets in the same SDE geodatabase also had to be registered as versioned again. I also ran MXD Doctor just to see if the MXD was causing an issue. As of now, everything appears to be working again but I want to know why this happened in the first place.

This may be more of a Flex Viewer question but I thought I'd start here. I have a SDE feature class where I am adding attachments. First of all, the process is very slow and tedious. Second, the relate is done by Attachment ID and Related Object ID. Neither of these make any sense to the end user. For instance when I open the attachment from my Flex Viewer web app the ending of the url is MapServer/6/4474/attachments/3315 where 4474 is the Related Object ID and 3315 is the Attachment ID. This is troublesome as there are multiple attachments for each object and with only the ID's this is troublesome. My other question is are the BLOBs just binary files that cannot be accessed externally without exporting them? In other words, there is no file path for the attachments only the file name? So I can modify the attachment all I want on the file system and it will not change what is "attached" to the feature class? The documentation on this is a little sparse.

‎03-27-2014

I'm not familiar with FILESTREAM but I would love to hear more about it. Right now I am using the feature in ArcMap called the Attachment Manager. It works but this is a slow way to do it. I have multiple attachments each for over a thousand features and it is becoming a tedious process. If I could even drag and drop files as attachments that would greatly speed things up. As it is now I have to have a windows explorer window open to view the image previews so that I'll know what to select in the Attachment manager. So there is a wasted extra step in there.

‎03-19-2014

Thanks, that works for me. I'm sure I'll get questions about that and I'll just explain that it is because the image size is to large to show on the thumbnail. I know that's not exactly what you said but it will work for me. I'm using the compiled version so I won't be able to modify the mxml file and I don't want you to have to go that the trouble for this one minor thing. I appreciate your explanation.
