Field wchich I query are VARCHAR fields, and is not indexed. So my query looks like G5IDD LIKE '066201_1.0001%'. I have additional column, which is substring of G5IDD, so I don't have to user%. I really think you need to index your fields as soon as you start querying them, especially with large amounts of features in your Feature Class. ... View more

I have ArcMap in version 10.2, and Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production. ArcMap crash and doesn't close, but it hangs up. Sometimes it shows features(after query definition), but still is not responding. Features are valid. Do the features have a proper spatial index? Is the data stored in Oracle Spatial or ST_Geometry? If the data is in Oracle Spatial, did you load it through ArcGIS or a third party tool? Are the fields you query on indexed? ... View more

Oren, I just send you an e-mail with a screenshot of the issue I saw and a few other tips. ... View more

Marco, Please answer in the right thread... Oren Eh... maybe I am missing something?, and you started another thread somewhere about cartography, but the link you posted shows this issue in the "Traffic & Parking" layer. ... View more

Oren, I guess this is some test datasets, but inserting fake traffic direction "arrows" as road lines on your map and symbolizing it on your map as part of a road layer, is really bad cartographic and GIS practice... ... View more

Hello, I have a feature class in geobase which has about 1 300 000 features(objects/rows). And when I'm adding this feature class to map, the rendering takes a lot of time. So I want to limit this query(or filter). Definition query(in feature layer properties), and toolbox createFeatureLayer makes arcmap crash. So I wonder if I could query table to 150 objects, create emtpy feature class, add this 150 objects as features, and add this feature class to map. And how do this. I have some code, but it's not working. What version of ArcGIS and what database type and version are using (enterprise (e.g. Oracle) or file geodatabase)? Have you applied any available service packs for your release of ArcGIS? There is no reason why ArcMap should crash setting a definition query on a 1.3M features Feature Class, it is just a SQL constraint that your RDBMS should be able to process fine. Just make sure the field(s) you use to filter / query the dataset, are indexed. Have you checked the integrity of the features by using Check Geometry and Repair Geometry tools? ... View more

The goal is to be able to develop a standard GIS model in MS Excel and quickly turn it into a Geodatabase. The model I am working on has 200+ feature classes so creating by hand would be very time consuming. I know this is done in Visio, but I find Excel to be an efficient way to plan your geodatabase model. Please send any good ideas. Thanks, -Lee No need for Python scripting here. X-Ray for ArcCatalog (ArcGIS 10.2) was specifically designed for this purpose, interacting with the geodatabase model by using Excel and XML workspaces. It allows you to change or build your geodatabase model in Excel, and than apply it to your geodatabase. Introduction to X-Ray for ArcCatalog (Video) There are also versions for 10.0 and 10.1 if I am right. Just Google for them if you need it. ... View more

That post is about the ArcGIS Runtime SDK. Yes, but if you look at some of the remarks of Mike Branscomb in this thread, you understand it may be relevant. Especially see posts number 3, number 7 and number 18 E.g.: "... No, the new ArcGIS Professional Application is not currently based on the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. ..." BUT: "... Yes, if you are planning to undertake the development of a new custom desktop application then you should look at the ArcGIS Runtime first. There are still some areas where it does not offer the functionality of ArcGIS Engine, such as 3D visualization, but we will be doing our best to close that gap over the next couple of releases. ..." "... It's too early to say, but the ArcGIS Professional App might use some components of the ArcGIS Runtime - just as the current ArcGIS for Desktop already does for 64-bit Geoprocessing. ..." "... There are currently a few areas where the ArcGIS runtime does not match ArcObjects for functionality, but over the next few releases we'll see those scenarios met by equivalent functionality in the ArcGIS runtime. Until then you may need to continue some ArcObjects-based development but for migration of existing applications and any new applications I'd always encourage you to evaluate the runtime SDKs first. ..." Unless Mike is badly informed, it seems ArcGIS Runtime is set to slowly seep into parts of the new desktop application... ... View more

Are you absolutely sure these are the same features? If you or someone else in another version accidentally copy & pasted a whole bunch at exactly the same location, they may have gotten inserted into the DEFAULT with new ObjectIDs. If they were posted to DEFAULT from that other version before you started reconciling, they might appear in your version upon reconciling (albeit with wrong ObjectIDs than), seemingly the same... ...

I suppose the answer to that question is: they have to do 2012 first!!!  🙂 Please read the remarks by ESRI's Mike Branscomb I linked in my previous post here in this thread... 😉 ... View more

Marco, Is there some clip in this video that provides the answer? I downloaded the transcript and could not find it. You're absolutely correct there is no direct reference to Visual Studio 2013, or 2012 for that matter, in that video... but it does show a seriously revamped ArcGIS application that is likely based on some "new" technologies. I think the remarks by ESRI's Mike Branscomb in this post in another similar thread answers it best for the time being. ... View more

When will Visual Studio 2013 be supported by the ArcObjects SDK? You should probably have a look at this ESRI video: Unveiling the new ArcGIS Professional Application with Jim McKinney and Jack Dangermond ... View more

Your problem description is vague, but if you are looking for some kind of "historic" record of the state of the DEFAULT version, than you maybe should be looking at the possibility of enabling Geodatabase archiving on your database. It will keep a record of the historic state of objects that you can go back to, to review "what once was...", in the form of historical versions. Also, and especially, have a good look at the The archive process Help page to get some basic understanding of how this works. ... View more

Jamal, as Nidhin suggested, you need to ensure no ArcGIS Server process is still using your file geodatabase. Your second screenshot in your last post here, clearly shows the ArcSOC.exe process, which is part of ArcGIS Server (see this Help page and specifically the topic "Processes started by the GIS server"), still keeping hold of your file geodatabase files. So whatever you did to stop the relevant ArcGIS Server processes, something / some process (the ArcSOC.exe) is clearly still running and needs to be stopped before you can delete the remaining file geodatabase files. ...

*If the type of conflict resolution is chosen to be �??in favor of edits�?� then the default.sde will be updated based on other versions in case of conflict! This is risky (screenshots below) Jamal, No, this isn't risky, it is a choice. A choice that you as the user consciously make or not. There is no "good" or "bad" here. To make this more clear: let's for the sake of it assume there are two editors "A" and "B". "A" makes an edit to his version and saves at 10:05:34 AM. Now "B" makes a conflicting edit in his own version and saves at 10:18:56 AM. Now who made the right edit? Is it "B" because he saved the last? Or "A" because he had the right papers, and "B" was accidentally given the wrong dossier? I hope you will agree there is no way to tell if A or B was right in case of a conflict, and certainly NOT based on something as arbitrary as a "save time". Only a review of what A and B did, and what paper sources or dossiers they used for the edits, might reveal who was right and who was wrong, so who made the error causing the conflict. And even if there is no conflict at all, any edits in any version including the DEFAULT might be wrong, because who is telling you your employees are doing their job right? (of course, I hope they do!). ArcGIS and the versioned editing environment does, of course - and logically - assume that any non-conflicting edits must be posted to the target based on the order of the save times / states, this is why the "edit versions" are listed in the recommended reconciliation order, the way they are visible in the Reconcile Versions dialog. I do have the feeling that you keep forgetting that editing conflicts, in a healthy well designed workflow, should be the absolute *exception*. If the workflow of your organization causes hundreds of editing conflicts, no (semi-automated) tool anyone at ESRI can devise, will solve the mess with you leaning back in your chair watching it happen! You should always ensure your workflows are good, than use reconciliation to fix the few errors left in a controlled and conscious matter. This may also mean no batch reconciliation, but one-by-one reconciliation with review of someone with authority to make the decisions to solve the conflict (most likely after a short investigation to find out what went wrong, and what the right state of the features involved should be based on the latest information gathered). ...
