Hi Jamal, Good to hear you got it up and running. However, since -p is the ArcSDE database admin password, as in: sdemon -o start {[-i {<service> | <port#>}] [-s <server_name>] | [-H <sde_directory>]} [-p <ArcSDE_admin_password>] I understand you entered "sde123" as the SDE user's password in SQL server or during ArcSDE install. That is of course fine for a quick personal test setup like you are probably creating, but anyone reading this may prefer entering a strong password for more serious applications. Thank you for the elaboration Marco. This is helpful. I�??m not sure at which step of the installation of the ArcSDE we are required to enter the users name/password. For example, during the installation of the sqlserver, there is a dialogue box at which we determine our user name and password as shown in the screenshot below: [ATTACH=CONFIG]20026[/ATTACH] How about the ArcSDE? Does such dialogue box exist in the ArcSDE while being installed (I can�??t�?? remember)? And then where might I have chosen the user name/password for the ArcSDE to be sde/sde123 respectively? ...

Hi Jamal, It appears you may have the 'sysadmin' role applied to your SDE user.  You can revoke this in SQL Server Management Studio by going to the Security folder > Logins> right-click on the SDE user > Properties > Server Roles.  Uncheck 'sysadmin'. Thank you Jake for the answer. It works. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20018[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]20019[/ATTACH] Best Jamal ... View more

Marco - While it is probably wise to populate the services file in port order, it certainly isn't required. The only thing that's necessary is a terminal newline (otherwise the last line in the file is discarded).  Empty lines are legal (and ignored, just like lines with leading octothorpes). - V Hi Vince, Thank you for the answer. Could you please elaborate more regarding the �??terminal newline�?�? What should it contain? [ATTACH=CONFIG]19976[/ATTACH] ... View more

Don't know if this is the issue (I don't have ArcSDE at hand right now), but I did notice that in the screenshot of the windows "services" file in notepad, that you copied the "esri_sde 5151/TCP" line at the end of the text file. If I remember it well, the line needs to be inserted in the rising order of port numbers, so in your case in between two other port number entries of the file. Thank you for the answer Marco the �??esri_sde               5151/tcp�?� is copied onto srvices file in page number 52 in the attached pdf file and also shown in the screenshot below: [ATTACH=CONFIG]19964[/ATTACH] if the place of �??esri_sde               5151/tcp�?� in the service file is an issue then where should it be positioned? ...

That's a standard Windows error that appears whenever the ArcSDE service has been misconfigured in any way.  Unfortunately, you didn't provide any of the information which would be necessary to help you: RDBMS product, version, and service pack/patchset ArcSDE version, service pack, and any additional patches The output from 'sdeservice -o list' The contents of your SDEHOME/etc/dbinit.sde file Any error messages from the SDEHOME/etc/giomgr.log An architecture description (the OS type and relative location of the ArcGIS Server, ArcSDE, and database components) All in text form, not as graphics, please -- It's important to place error messages in the message text block, because that's how others would be able to find your solution. In fact, if you had searched on the key words of the message ("arcsde service started then stopped"), you would have found a number of useful postings. - V Thank you for the answer Vince. Please, find attached the steps (powered by screenshots) that show how I configured the application server. I�??m sorry not to provide these steps in text format as I wanted to let the screenshots to speak out themselves. �?� I�??m using Windows 7 64 ultimate, sqlserver 2088, ArcGIS 10.1 (advanced), ArcSDE 10.1 (Enterprise) �?� sqlserver 2088, ArcGIS 10.1, ArcSDE 10.1 are installed on the same machine named m-pc �?� The dbinit.sde file contains nothing �?� The ArcSDE is installed in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\ArcSDE �?� The sql server database is physically saved in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA Hope that this is sufficient to lead me to my problem and thus I can get the service started.

Jamal, Your request will definitely be considered for some future version.  It turns out there are some ideas already floating around for zooming to pixels, although not quite like you (from a table selection).  Thanks for the feedback. Best, Eric Thanks Eric. Yes, please consider it. Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Zoom To Selected is short for Zoom to Selected Features. Using your screenshot in the original post, what would you have us do if you selected value = 2? There are 25551 pixels. Where do you want us to zoom? The rows in a raster attribute table are not like rows of discrete features in a feature class, nor is there a shape field containing geometry for easy query. It's not like there is a property within a raster dataset that stores the minimum bounding geometry for each value in the raster that could be used as a zoom extent. The case where the count is 1 is the only time you have a discrete record in a raster attribute table. I would argue its quite uncommon from all the data I've seen over the years. Zooming to selected pixels would have to make sense for all cases to even be considered. There are multiple ways to 'find' this pixel. 1. As stated earlier, convert to features. 2. Create a new raster with just that one pixel. There are several ways to do this one. Raster calculator, conditional statements, or if you want to make it easy just use Extract by Attribute from spatial analyst. Best, Eric Many thanks for the contribution Erci. still, I don�??t see any problem to have the �??zoom to�?� working for cells! It is the same as we do it for vector when we select more than one feature and apply the �??zoom to�?�! zooming to many cells or many features should be the same!

Hi Jamal, Did you ever got the answer for this? I am just wondering the same. I am doing something that i wanted to find that pixel, but couldn't figure it out. Risa Hi Risa, Unfortunately, I didn�??t find any solution for this problem. Sounds that we need workaround for this issue! As always! Best Jamal ... View more

if i understood all the posts correctly, i recently tried something similar. i went with a raster/numpy-array approach. it works, but not nearly as fast as linda´s approach (hoping for her code/approach to be posted here as well)...i just slightly modified my stuff and timed a random 250x250 cell raster @ ~20s. import numpy as np import arcpy def chkNeighbors(arr, x, y):     try:                     left = arr[(x-1, y)] if x-1 >= 0 else 0         right = arr[(x+1, y)] if x+1 <= (np.shape(arr)[0]-1) else 0         top = arr[(x, y-1)] if y-1 >= 0 else 0         bottom = arr[(x, y+1)] if y+1 <= (np.shape(arr)[1]-1) else 0                         hVal = 3                 if all([left > hVal, right > hVal, top > hVal, bottom > hVal]) \             and left == right == top == bottom:                                       return top         else:             return arr[x,y]                 except IndexError:         print "error@", x,y def doanalysis():        arr = arcpy.RasterToNumPyArray(r"C:\Default.gdb\Reclass_test500")        print np.shape(arr)             itemindex = zip(*np.where(arr))       i=0         for i in range(0,len(arr.flat)):                 arr[itemindex] = chkNeighbors(arr, *itemindex)                 ras = arcpy.NumPyArrayToRaster(arr)     ras.save(r"C:\Default.gdb\testraster") Hi all, I would be very highly appreciated if you help me with writing up a code for the following statements: 1. IF the cell is water, THEN no growth is allowed at this cell. 2. IF the cell is road, THEN no growth is allowed at this cell. 3. IF cell is residential OR commercial, THEN keep this cell the same without any change. 4. IF the cell is either forest OR pasture OR row crops AND there are 4 commercial cells in the neighborhood, THEN change the cell to commercial. 5. IF the center cell is either forest OR pasture OR row crops AND there are 4 residential in the neighborhood, THEN change the cell to residential. Many thanks for the help, best Jamal ... View more

Take a look at this 9.3 topic: An overview of advanced modeling through simulations Hi guys, I�??m wondering if there is a way to build a model (based on raster format) to perform the tasks below considering a number of iteration: - Live cells stay alive if 2 or 3 of its neighbors are alive, otherwise it dies - Dead cells will come to life if it has 3 live neighbors [ATTACH=CONFIG]16684[/ATTACH] The raster data is attached, Thank you for the help, Best Jamal ...

Hi Jamal, I think you have legitimate points with these two examples although we've deviated quite a bit from anything to do with the deprecation of the 3d toolbar tools. I discussed this thread with the User Advocacy Group and highlighted a number of your concerns/examples.  They will be sure to discuss with the respective teams involved.  My guess at what happened is the Explode UI command was in the software, then at some later date there was a need to automate the functionality, and another team created the GP tool and named it something different than the UI command.  Just my hunch.  Nonetheless, I see how it can create confusion. The Planarize Lines command does actually have some GP tools that do the same.  For example, Feature to Line can be used to split the lines at intersections.  Depending on whether or not you preserve attributes you will retain the overlapping line segments (preserving keeps overlap).  There is also a simple model that could be built that would incorporate Intersect (output type points), Split Line at Point, and Delete Identical (using Shape field).  Feature to Line works on more than just line input which is probably why it's not called Planarize Lines event though it can do the same thing. At the very least, searching on the word Planarize should return better results.  I will submit a NIM to the team so that additional tags are added to the Feature to Line tool for search purposes. Thanks for your feedback. Best, Eric Hi Eric, this just to provide more examples regarding the inconsistency in the ArcGIS. When the ArcGIS will be free of these problems? 1. Having different names for the same command! Example, �??import�?� [ATTACH=CONFIG]15844[/ATTACH] 2. Missing some commands on the toolbox! And then how to get the benefit of the model builder? Example: �??new network dataset�?� [ATTACH=CONFIG]15845[/ATTACH] 3. Commands that doesn�??t respect the mask Examples�?�: multiple ring buffer, create thiessian polygon [ATTACH=CONFIG]15846[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]15847[/ATTACH] 4. Commands that doesn�??t respect the mask unless an internal setting are applied Examples: create tin, topo to raster, 5. The ArcGIS doesn�??t keep showing the name of the extent layer! Each time we go to the extent we got confused about which layer is set to the extent since the arcgis gives �??as specified below�?� instead of showing the name of the layer!!!! cont. for screenshots (as the system doesn't allow attaching more than 5 images!)
