Well.....  If it worked and now it doesn't, obviously something has changed and is now broken. ( I know; thanks captain obvious...) Did you guys apply any service packs? Update versions? What about using ArcGIS server to provide your locators?  I just think there are better options for locators, especially publishing them.  I use my SDE environment for editing and that's pretty much it.  For daily production use it's file gdb's and shared network drives What was our topic in Versaterm?  At my age my age, I have more memory leaks than Windows95..... ...

Let me get this straight: you are storing your locators within an enterprise database?  If so, that's probably the root of your issue. The best place to store your actual locators is in a stand alone directory somewhere. I also notice you have a ton of feature data sets in there as well.  I avoid feature datasets in SDE like the plague; they like to misbehave with permission issues and locks.  If you have been storing your locators in a feature dataset in an SDE database, you've got the double whammy working against you.... ...

Couple things to check: I assume you've correctly defined the projection or projected it? If so, you have an errant piece of data that is misbehaving;  for example, I once was given a set of points with Lat Long data and they were all supposed to be in North America.  And most of them were, accept one where the Lat Long was incorrect and plotted in Russia.... ...

One thing I don't see is the location of the accident itself.  Or is that implied with the 'crash road' attribute?  If you don't know where the accidents are, how can you create a hotspot map? ... View more

Your editors are making changes to a 'versioned' geometric network?  That sounds very problematic to me.  One of the shortcomings to any SDE is the use of a feature dataset.  Personally, I avoid feature datasets like the plague in SDE.  My approach is to edit the basic features in SDE and then replicate them one-way to a file geodatabase: its the File GDB that is used for production. ...

What type of format was the original data? For example, were you provided individual lists of each profession or a list of addresses and all the professions at the given address? All geocoding does for you is provide a spatial data point.  How you work with it is a whole different story.  You mention hygenists per population; do you have data to support such a relationship? You could do that by simply getting a count of licenced hygenists in a given region (city, county or state) and then getting the population for you chosen region.  Simple math and perhaps a relevant analysis, but not terribly challenging or truly spatial. What if you had public transportation route data and you figure out how many hygenists are within a half mile of a bus route?   Or if you get demographic data and you look at neighborhood income and the number of offices within a particular income threshold. There are hundreds of analyses you can perform if you have the data.  The trick with GIS data is we get to see the spatial relationships between our various data in the form of a map.  Anyone with with a spreadsheet can produce rows and columns of data; halfway through the presentation of your results, your audience is in dreamland. My suggestion is to give this more thought.  Then you can figure out what sort of additional data you need; obtain it and see if you can answer your questions. ... View more
