Yes, unfortunately, the views created with Desktop (Catalog, ArcMap, Toolbox) are not registered with SDE and you must use the command line in order to make them appear as a feature class to avoid having to specifiy the OBJECTID every time you add them to ArcMap... http://help.arcgis.com/en/geodatabase/10.0/admin_cmds/support_files/datamgmt/sdelayer.htm#registerex Please vote for this idea as well: Create Views In ArcCatalog Like In SDE Command Line https://community.esri.com/ideas/8897   ...

FYI - Looks like NIM082716 should be resolved at 10.1 SP 1 http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDgyNzE2 ... View more

Doug, We just fixed an issue in regards to overwriting a service in the way you mentioned where either the dialogue disappears or ArcMap crashes. The fix should be in SP2. Is there a BUG# for this issue? Thanks, Dan ... View more

So, just using the same SQL from the Query Layer to create a DB view, then registering it with the GDB would essentially get you the same thing as using sdetable -o create_view? ... View more

Thanks Marco.  My question was specifically whether an ESRI "Query Layer" can be persisted on the database side to appear as a feature class in a geodatabase.   Sounds like the answer is "no". My feeling is that this would be a case where if the client needs a feature class with all of the joins, filters, aliases, etc. already applied, then you would still need an SDE spatial view. ...

Sorry, if I'm not expressing myself very well.... My goal was just to continue the discussion of Query layers vs SDE Spatial view... comparing & contrasting, pros & cons, etc... I had seen the following post earlier and it made me wonder about which scenarios you might need a spatial view over a q layer: http://gdbgeek.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/the-spatial-view-is-dead-long-live-query-layers/ Can you explain what you meant by "either can be either"? Thanks, Dan ... View more

Vince, Thanks for the quick follow-up. I'm not exactly sure what the requirements might be for third party apps....  I was generally speaking (for the purposes of comparing query layers vs spatial views) of cases where some system or process is expecting a feature class in geodatabase rather than a layer in a map service, etc. I just wasn't sure if there was a way of creating a query layer and persisting it in the GDB as a FC.... Thanks, Dan ... View more

An SDE spatial view appears as a feature class in the geodatabase.  Is there a way to "register" a Query Layer in the gdb to make it available to 3rd-party apps or other tools that require a feature class? Thanks, Dan ... View more

With One way replication this is a known problem in 10.1 we are in contact with ESRI to resolve it but nothing yet. Hussein, Do you have the bug number for this issue?  Any idea if it's been resolved in 10.2? Thanks, Dan ... View more
