OK, I guess the problem I'm having is actually exporting the curve. Do you know how to do this if i'm using cftool? This is starting to become more of a Matlab question, than ArcGIS, you might consider posting on a MathWorks forum (*). Although I have worked with a number of hydrologists using Matlab some 15 years ago, that is way to long ago to guide you. (*) just noticed you already did this 😉 By the way, I don't know what your data is, but you may wish to have a look at Geostatistical Analyst. It may actually be able to provide a better, and more statistically sound, surface "fit" / interpolation, than Matlab has on offer. It has great functionality for exploratory data analysis, and cross validation to ensure you aren't producing nonsense. Of course, this does assume your data is suitable for interpolation (e.g. smooth continuously varying data), but the exploratory data analysis step will pretty much tell you that.

I think the easiest way to do this, is to simply export the "best fit surface" from Matlab as a physical entity, that is, as a raster or grid stored to disk in a format ArcGIS for Desktop can read, instead of trying to re-create the surface in ArcGIS based on the formulas alone. Although ArcGIS has some new features in the direction of using parameterized, formula based, raster processing for display purposes (see "What are the functions used by a raster or mosaic dataset?"), ArcGIS still heavily relies on physical datasets for processing and analysis. You might be able to use the display functionality to "fake" a Matlab "best fit surface", but I have to little experience using this new funtionality of ArcGIS to guide you or to tell you if it is actually possible (I guess it might involve first using a Constant function to create some level surface, than apply your Matlab fit). Maybe someone else with more experience using this could guide you. You probably should also look at the Raster Calculator (Spatial Analyst)

If you need real undo/redo then by definition you actually need the capabilities provided by versioning, if only for that reason alone. Well said... I think it is also good to say that these "issues" related to versioned or non-versioned editing, actually touch at the very heart of how Relational Database Mangament Systems (RDBMSs) function. The limitations or possibilities are not so much of ESRI making, but for a large part inherent to the underlying RDBMS, and ESRI just abides by the "rules" imposed by these.

I guess a lot of people may use the featuredatasets as folders. Unfortunately, very true. This issue is partly caused by the fact that ESRI never implemented some kind of "virtual folder" structure for geodatabases, that could serve as a replacement for Feature Datasets being used as surrogate "folders". Using Feature Datasets as "folders" is not a problem in all cases, but it can cause issues.

I have applied SDE101sp1-CApiSDK.msp. No difference. What is a QIP? Look here, it is a larger patch up on top of SP1, kind of like a mini "service pack": ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for (Desktop, Engine, Server) Quality Improvement Patch

It'd be great if someone handy with Python demonstrates how to the domains associated with each subtype in each feature class. Also: the ArcGIS Ideas site has an idea to create a "Locate Domain" tool. This would make life easier for those of us who work with lots of field and/or subtype domains: https://c.na9.visual.force.com/apex/ideaView?id=08730000000c1vSAAQ There are several tools out there that can be of help. Most notably something like for example X-Ray for ArcGIS. It allows you to create Excel spreadsheets or XML workspace documents with data on database structure. You could than use Excel or a text editor to search for a certain domain. X-Ray also allows you to manipulate the database model: X-Ray for ArcCatalog (ArcGIS 10.2) Another option is Geodatabase Diagrammer, that works with Visio: Geodatabase Diagrammer for 10X For this latter tool, please also see the remarks by users below the item about a possible need to save the template Visio documents to a new version of Visio, before you can use it.

but my goal is not to determine these factors but rather to see/verify that the data collected under similar conditions (so do the fricton readings) would exhibit similar spatial patterns. Why aren't you simply graphing the two datasets against each other, since the data seems to be measured at about equal locations for each data point? The spread around the line day2=day1 will tell you quite a lot about "similarity".

Googling for "D_LABEL_TYP_1" returns two XML metadata results possibly associated with a FEMA Floodmap application? The results show a domain being associated with fields named "S_Label_Ld" and "S_Label_Pt". Do you have similar named fields in your geodatabase? Additionally, do you possibly use subtypes? Each subtype can have its own domain, even within one field. So searching for fields may not be enough, you may need to check subtypes.

3. I tried to create layer\table BUT again no version view is created [ATTACH=CONFIG]32991[/ATTACH] Where might be my mistake here? Jamal, Recycling your existing administrative "Jamal" account won't help, as Asrujit pointed out, as it likely already has sysadmin priviliges. Clearly, the data is still ending up under the DBO schema when you use this "Jamal" account, as your screenshot show that. Create an entirely new restricted local or Windows domain account / login, and use that to create a new user in SQL Server using the Add User option in ArcCatalog with OS authentication, or alternatively follow Asrujit advice of creating a new database user if using database authentication, with just minimal privileges as required by ArcGIS. See these Help pages also: A comparison of Windows and database authentication in SQL Server Create Database User (Data Management)

Esri has not yet announced the post-10.2 release, so it's a bit early to worry about its release schedule. - V Announced or not, 10.3 is mentioned on the NIMBUS page as the release in which the fix is included: Bug NIM-099594 Since the bug severity is set to high, I don't think we will see another 10.2.3, 10.2.4, ... 10.2.9 before going on with 10.3, will we? 😉 Anyway, 10.3 might spontaneously convert into 10.2.3...

I tested this with ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced 10.2.0.3348. Something is definitely off with the way the version view gets created, and it will take some in-depth testing on Esri's part to identify which configuration's work and which do not for this particular operation. I am running exactly the same build of ArcGIS for Desktop. My SQL Server Express 2012 build is 11.0.3128.0, MDAC 6.1.7601.17514 on Windows 7 SP1. In my case, if I create table (empty table from scratch) and register it as version then there is NO �??version view�?� is created. What might be the solution here? How one can have the version view created automatically as a table is created? Jamal, Unless you intend to access the Versioned View directly, either through ArcGIS, or more likely (because this is the main purpose of the Versioned Views), through non-ESRI software like AutoCAD or a SQL development environment, there is not much to worry about. The Versioned Views aren't required for correctly functioning ArcGIS software, nor for the versioned editing environment. Versioned Views are a kind of "extra", non-compulsory, addition to the Geodatabase framework, so I wouldn't worry to much about Versioned Views not being generated in all cases.

Could you please try it in your database? In case you create a table in the SQL enterprise database, does the version view is created automatically? Jamal, I tested this with ArcGIS 10.2 (so not the 10.2.1 you are using) and SQL Server Express 2012, and can't reproduce it. If I create an empty table, and register it as versioned, the Versioned View is automatically created. I tried this workflow in SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and in Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.2) using a 10.2 client: Create table called TEST Register table TEST as versioned, then enable Archiving Check in RDBMS to see if TEST_EVW was created Create feature class called TEST1 Register feature class TEST1 as versioned, then enable Archiving Check in RDBMS to see if TEST1_EVW was created In the case of SQL Server Express, I observed that step 3 did not show that a version view of the TEST table was created (either before or after Archiving was enabled). However, step 6 did yield a version view of the TEST1 feature class which got created upon registering it as versioned. In the case of Oracle, I observed that both step 3 and step 6 yielded version views as expected based upon how Esri's documentation is written. Therefore, I can only conclude that in SQL Server the automatic creation does not work for tables upon registration as versioned, but it does work for feature classes. This could potentially be a bug. Again, I can't reproduce this with my configuration, what exact version of ArcGIS are you using William?

please can you explain more about what you said ,because i m using arcgis desktop 10.2 sql server express , and in an other machin i have arcgis server 10.1 workgroup edition so how can i use arcgis server to have more connection to my geodatabase If you already have the "Workgroup" level license, than Nidhinkn pointed out the way to use it to authorize your database for up to 10 concurrent users, instead of the 3 of a Desktop Geodatabase you have now: Enabling SQL Server Express to store workgroup geodatabases.

thanks for responding but how can i create a workgroup gdb here how i create mine: i connect to my database server (sql server) then i create my gdb if there is an other way to do it please show it to me and thanks again Yousra, You probably followed the instruction I gave here to create an ArcSDE Personal Server (a.k.a. Personal ArcSDE, a.k.a. Desktop Geodatabase). ArcSDE Personal Server doesn't allow more than 3 connections, even though SQL Server Express does, this is a build-in restriction by ESRI in order to prevent you from using it outside its intended scope, that is, just for "personal" and not "organizational" wide usage. You can see if you are running an ArcSDE Personal Server (or otherwise), by right clicking the Database Server connection in ArcCatalog, and choosing Properties. It will open a dialog showing the type of ArcSDE server you have (in your case most likely it will thus read "ArcSDE Personal Server", see also the example I posted here). Workgroup ArcSDE is NOT available as a free option, you have to buy / license it from ESRI, just like Enterprise ArcSDE. In order to license it, you will need a license for ArcGIS for Server, of which ArcSDE is part. ESRI will give you a license file once you've bought it. In order to create the Workgroup Geodatabase, follow the link Nidhinkn pointed out in the previous post in the thread. Please note that, as with the Desktop Geodatabase instructions I gave, you don't need to reinstall SQL Server Express if you have it already installed, you just need to start the ESRI supplied "ArcGIS for Server Workgroup" installer, and then skip the actual step of installing SQL Server Express and go on with the authorization. In case of an Enterprise Geodatabase, you will have to use the Create or Enable Enterprise Geodatabase tools and insert / use the license with these tools to create the Enterprise Geodatabase. Personal ArcSDE, a.k.a. Desktop Geodatabase, a.k.a. ArcSDE Personal Server is free, and doesn't require a license file, but it is only included as part of ArcGIS for Desktop Standard and Advanced. You can not run an ArcSDE Personal Server using ArcGIS for Desktop Basic. In order to create a Desktop Geodatabase, you don't use the Create or Enable Enterprise Geodatabase tools, but need to follow the instructions I posted here: Steps to install "Personal ArcSDE / Desktop Geodatabase"

Symbol rotation is not available in the Basic edition of ArcGIS for Desktop. Take a look at this matrix and search for "Rotate Feature Symbols Interactively or by a Specific Angle". You'll find this topic listed under the Interactive Symbol Editing section. It appears the Standard and Advanced editions contain this functionality, but not the Basic edition. Now ESRI has released Desktop Advanced in an affordable manner for non-commercial / non-profit, private use through the ArcGIS for Home Use program, you really have to wonder if there is still any sense in maintaining the crippled "Basic" license level with crucial tools non-functional... I think ESRI would do good to skip the Basic license level, and only keep the Standard / Advanced license level difference.
