For the additional functionality you need to turn on the WFS service as well, then you should be able to perform the other functions. ... View more

I believe the issue with the administrator not working is that this account needs to be a site administrator for the database and it needs dbo rights, because it is trying to make a direct connect to the database with operating system authentication.  Thank you. ... View more

Here is a link to the steps for creating a versioned geodatabase.  http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Creating_versions_and_setting_permissions/002700000010000000/ ... View more

Hey Rickey could you keep the field length at a shortened name, and then add the long name as an alias?  I do not know if this would have an effect on the performance as well.  In earlier versions of geodatabases we were limited to the number of charters in field names, and this was a way to get around that limitation.  I am not sure if the database would look at the alias differently from the actual name.  Thank you. ...

Thank you, I have been looking into the new Web appbuilder and the API, and was not sure if that was the best route or not.  Great info.  I will be checking out the blog, thank you. ... View more

I had this issue creating the mosaic datasets in SDE 10.2.2, the issue was that when creating the dataset, SDE defaulted to choosing the Server drive letter, I repaired the data link in the modify tab when right clicking on the dataset, this worked, but when I looked at the dataset on the server on any other computer other than my own, the checkerboard was there.  To fix the issue I set the new path in the repair link dialogue to the server name and the drive name, here is how it looked for our server: \\<server name>\<gis_data>(this is the name of the drive that the rasters reside on, NOT the drive letter)\raster\drg\100k\utm12 or utm13 After using this as the connection path everything worked, because the dataset seemed to be defaulting to see my drives rather than the drives that the dataset were created from, now with the full name it is the same for all of our users.  I hope that this helps others. ...

Thank you for the post, one last item that I thought of, when you work with your data through a model you miss a warning that you would receive if you you tried to add the data to ArcMap as WY data.  If you were to add the table as XY data you would receive the following warning: The table you specified does not have an Object-ID field so you will not be able to select, query, or edit the features in the resulting layer, or define relates for them. After you create this layer, you can export it to a shapefile or feature class if you need these functions.  To export a layer, right-click it in the Table of Contents and choose Data>Export Data.  Add the exported data to the map as a new layer. What this is saying is you are loading a table of points and I cannot find the associated objects, because the table stands alone.  So, it says we will let you do this, but as a result you are unable to select, query, or edit because currently there is no underlying objects with the data.  Once you perform the export the needed attributes and objects will be created to allow you to perform these functions. I hope this helps. ... View more

That is right; so, you could change your model to access the actual feature class or shapefile that the table is associated with, then you have the actual geometry and you will not have to convert the table to a shapefile, feature class, or layer. Then your model should work because you are using the actual layer that contains the geometry. ... View more

I am sorry I used that as an example to clarify my thoughts, you are right that is not what you are doing, sorry for the confusion. That is correct, the select by location tool needs an actual shapefile or geodatabase feature class to work. ... View more
