Ravi - if you don't have Spatial Analyst, then you could use the IDENTITY geoprocessing tool located in the Data Management toolbox -> Overlay toolset.  Set your points as the INPUT features and your polygon as your IDENTITY features.  Keep ALL join attributes of both input feature classes.  The output is a new point feature class with the polygon attributes.  Delete whatever attribute columns you wish. Hope this helps! Robert LeClair Esri-Denver ... View more

Gonzalo - with regard to NIM070970, it's been assigned to a Development staff member but nothing listed as far as resolution date.  Since you're experiencing this same issue with two replication, I would recommend contacting Esri Support Services (Geodata) to test the scenario and possibly create a new NIM for this behavior. -Robert ...

Gonzalo - By chance are you using one-way replication on an Oracle RDBMS?  If so, NIM070970 - "Changes in subtypes and domains are not synchronized between parent and child in a one-way replica through the compare replica schema" may be the culprit. You can read a little bit about it at the following URL:  http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDcwOTcw Good luck! Robert LeClair Esri-Denver ... View more

Tyler - I believe this has to do with the Business Analyst extension.  First question - have you purchased BA?  If not, then you would not be able to access the python components for BA. If you have a BA license, then you can access extensions via Python.  Please refer to the following webhelp: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002z0000000z000000 Hope this helps.

I don't believe there is a way to do this IN ArcGIS Online but you could create the ArcMap Join in the Desktop software, export the layer to a new shapefile, and then import the new shapefile into ArcGIS Online. Hope this helps! Robert LeClair Esri-Denver ... View more

Juliane, A few ways to do this: One way to do this is if you have a polygon feature class for water, set this as a Mask in the Raster Analysis Environment Settings.  From there, open the Raster Calculator and set the map algebra statement to be bathymetry raster as the only input and define the output raster.  The mask will "clip" the raster for those areas that the water and bathymetry raster intersect. Another way is to use the Extract by Mask geoprocessing tool - even easier!  Define the bathymetry as the input raster, the water as the mask, and define the output raster. Good luck!

I see - Esri GRID format is similar in composition to an ArcInfo coverage (i.e. a folder/workspace/etc) in the sense that it requires the INFO directory.  The INFO directory stores the attributes for the raster dataset as well as other items.  So if you're boss only emailed you the GRID folder without the INFO folder, then bad things are amiss.  This may be the root of the problem. ...

Abdalla - What is the format of your raster datasets and are they stored in SDE by chance?  If so, it could be a permissions issue. Regards, Robert ... View more

Abdalla - In ArcCatalog, right click on the raster and select "Calculate Statistics" from the context menu.  You can then go into the Properties of the raster and see the Min, Max, Mean, StdDev, etc.  Hope this helps. Regards, Robert LeClair Esri-Denver ... View more

Bryan - Sometimes this error message is related to field names or table names not have the correct naming conventions.  I would recommend looking at Raster30 to verify that the field names don't violate conventions.  Please see the following URL for details:  http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.techarticles.articleShow&d=23087 Question for you - are you points stored in a Personal for Access geodatabase and is the output being created in the same Personal for Access Geodatabase?  If so, try to replicate the workflow in a file geodatabase.  Does the error message persist?  NIM062662 talks about this:  http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/role/beta10_1/TklNMDYyNjYy Good luck!

Directly - no.  In ArcGIS 10, use the "Create File GDB" geoprocessing tool to create a 9.3 schema file geodatabase.  In the Catalog 10.0 window (or ArcCatalog 10.0), drag/drop features classes from your 10.0 geodatabase to the 9.3 geodatabase.  Then open a blank ArcMap 9.3 document and point to the 9.3 geodatabase feature class data.

I have a book on my bookshelf to remind me of the "good ole" days - Arc Macro Language:  Developing Arc/INFO Menus and Macros with AML.  It's available on Amazon at the following URL:  http://www.amazon.com/Arc-Macro-Language-Vrsion-7-1-1/dp/1879102188 Good luck!

In ArcCatalog, right click on the Feature Class and select Properties.  In the Feature Class Properties window, select the Indexes tab.  Towards the bottom the Index GUI, select Recalculate for the Spatial Index.  It will update the Spatial Index for that feature class.  There's also a tool called Calculate Default Spatial Grid Index in the Data Management toolbox -> Feature Class toolset.
