Does any one happen to know if the X-Ray for ArcCatalog works with a higher-than-Excel 2013 version? We are looking to upgrade, but Microsoft is advising us to get the latest version (2016?).

Forgot to mention: the join and spatial views are 1:1 - each feature has only 1 related record in the external table.

I have been using Robert's Identify Widget v 3.6.5 in our Flex 3.6 apps perfectly for about a year now -- great tool Robert, thanks for the support and development of it! I recently upgraded ArcGIS Server from 10.2.2 to 10.3.1 and encountered a minor problem with the Identify Widget after the upgrade. I did find a workaround, so this is more of a discussion than a question. We have a map service that contains a feature class from SDE with a join (defined in the MXD) to an external table in another database - both SQL 2008 R2 databases. This "join" map service worked fine prior to the upgrade to Server 10.3.1. After the upgrade, the Identify Widget stopped working and throws the error seen in the attached picture when you click on the "join" feature class. Feature classes that do not have joins still work fine. The regular Identify tool in ArcMap also still works. I took a look at the newer version release notes for Identify Widget and it does not appear that this issue has been mentioned. I don't know if this problem is present in versions beyond 3.6.5. Workaround = If I create a spatial view in SDE (including both the feature class and external business table) using ArcCatalog, the Identify works like it did before on the view. All I had to do was change the <field name> references in the XML configuration to the new "spatial view" map service names. Interestingly the eSearch Widget is not affected by this problem, it still works even with the "join" map service.

I have tested 2 additional scenarios: (1) (Feature > Table A > Table D) (Feature > Table B > Table D) (Feature > Table C > Table D) Doesn't seem to work for me. I can't even establish a relationship class with ArcCatalog. If you try to relate table D to more than one table (A,B,C), I encounter an error "Failed to create the specified relationship class - The relationship class is incompatible with an existing relationship class." In Table D, I have tried this with the same GUID for all 3 and also with separate GUID columns for each table (Table A GUID, Table B GUID, Table C GUID). (2) Hydrants > Events > Employee Works well in the Collector for Android. The only negative comment I would have is that you can't really enter multiple rows quickly. See the attached picture for more detail, which shows the bottom of the Events form. In my example, you can have multiple Employees participating in an event. For each employee, from the Event form you have to: click "New" --> enter their data in Employee form --> click "Done" --> takes you back to the Event form --> click "New" again and repeat for each employee. It would be nice if multiple lines could be added while in the Employee form. But it does work and would be suitable for most cases.

Not yet. I will try to do it later this week or next and will report back. The blog post you mentioned above suggests that it should work up to 3 levels, although I'm not sure about the "1:M:1" "Table D" example.

So far, I have only tested it as a hosted feature on AGO. Do you have Global IDs set up and is the feature service set up properly for editing? Everything seems to require those in the current Esri stack. FYI if you aren't aware: Esri recommends Global IDs / GUIDs to be used as the relationship class primary / foreign keys. After I converted our user-maintained IDs to Global IDs, the related tables worked great in Android Collector. I'm planning to eventually use local SDE infrastructure as well, so I hope it works with that . Unfortunately I can't do that yet because our geodatabase is stuck a few versions back. I am able to add local SDE dynamic / cached services for viewing, but can't attempt local SDE feature editing yet. Hopefully we will receive additional feedback from others.

Do you have related tables set up on your feature services? I just encountered the same thing with Collector for iOS. Then I thought about it for a minute and realized that I am trying to open maps that have a feature service with related tables. As of now, Collector for iOS does not support related tables. The Android version of Collector works without error for me with the same feature services. Can anyone confirm this?

So far I have tried a scenario where there are two unique related child tables to the same parent: Hydrants > Events Hydrants > Inspections When you are in the form of Collector for Android, you see both child tables as an option to "View" or "Create New". It works well. I will probably try 3-level in the near future.

Yes, that would typically work, but not in this case. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the confirmation.

When using the Robert Scheitlin, GISP Flex Viewer Identify Widget v3.6.5, there is a button that copies results to clipboard. It returns the layer name and column name along with attribute data, which is great in many cases. However, I have a situation where I just want to copy the attribute value. Is this possible? An example: Copy-paste normally returns this result: Water Lateral ID: 23NW048 I only want to return this: 23NW048 Thanks!

Jill, Yes I ended up following the steps listed above and it worked fine to go from workgroup to enterprise. That was for 10.1, and I think 10.2 would be the same. I don't recall having to authorize it, but perhaps I did. That is done through a GP tool now and not the command line. Good luck! Brian

Hello everyone, I have some questions about migrating a geodatabase from the Workgroup level to Enterprise (see below). I have successfully converted our production to a test enterprise one and it seems to be working fine, but I want to make sure I followed the correct steps. Eventually I�??ll be doing this again to migrate our production to new production and I don�??t want to get stuck in a dead-end. Our legacy production environment has these specifications: ArcGIS 9.3.1 SP2, SDE/Server Workgroup Standard, SQL Server Express 2008 R2. Clients connect to SDE through direct connect. I am working in a new test environment with these specifications: ArcGIS 10.1 SP1, SDE/Server Enterprise Standard, SQL Server 2008 R2. This is going to be our new production environment once testing is complete. Clients will connect to SDE through direct connect (i.e. I am not planning to use the SDE app server at this time). Here are the migration steps I took: Post/reconcile versions Backup workgroup geodatabase using ArcCatalog 9.3.1 Restore workgroup geodatabase from backup using SQL Server 2008 R2 tools (restore not available in ArcCatalog 10.1) Sync users Connect to geodatabase in ArcMap 10.1 and conducted some tests, which have been successful. Even the historical version functionality seems to still work properly. Here are the questions: 1) Can anyone provide some insight about the difference between running a backup through ArcCatalog-Administration-Backup versus doing a backup in SQL Management Studio? 2) I have seen some help documents recommend creating a new blank geodatabase on the new server and copy �?? paste the layers using ArcCatalog. Why would you want to do the migration this way unless you have to rename the geodatabase? Or, are there some Enterprise features that will not be enabled if I do the backup/restore versus the copy/paste into new? 3) Another question is about using detach/attach: Vince Angelo posted some steps in another forum and it looks like I should use detach and attach when I move the production geodatabase because that �??more cleanly shuts a geodatabase down than backup �?? restore does.�?� Here were his steps: Post/reconcile, etc with 9.3 tools Verify geodatabase integrity Detach database Copy files to new server Attach database Sync users Upgrade database to 2012 Use Desktop 10.1sp1 to reverify Use Desktop 10.1sp1 to upgrade If I do this, would I follow the same path I did for the test (i.e. Detach using ArcCatalog, Attach using SQL Management Studio)? In this case, it sounds like you move the actual MDF file rather than a BAK file. Thanks!! -Brian

That did the trick, thanks for the quick response!

I am using the recent eSearch widget v 3.013 in the 3.0 Flex Viewer. How challenging would it be to modify it to allow a user to hit enter (rather than click the Search button) once they fill in their search strings for two or more attributes? I know Robert removed this capability for a reason (see link below), but I figured I would ask. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially if written for someone with limited Flex programming experience. I have deployed the viewer and widget via the source code and have access to Flash Builder. Thanks to Robert for the great tools he has developed and supported over the years!
