Thanks Joshua, Yeah the FC is ~ 8000 records, of which maybe only a handful are added/modified. So a record comparison is the way to go….thanks. Do you run a script to perform this comparison? Thanks, Tim

Brilliant! Many thanks….just what I needed to know. Tim

Hi all, I am going to implement a nightly script which will remove all records in a Feature Class in our spatial DB, and append new records. Apart from compressing the Database, is there anything else I should manage? Analyze ? Should I remove any locks that could be connected? This process will run every night. Will compressing the entire DB have an effect with any child/parent DBs ? Also, are you able to compress a single Feature Class rather than an entire DB ? we run 10.2 Thanks, Tim

Hi all, I have a customised style file containing around 100 individual fill symbols. Is there a way to export these styles into excel as "symbol name" + Red value + Green Value + Blue Value ? Thanks, Tim

Hi Keir, Did you ever work out what the problem was and how you fixed it? I am also getting odd behaviour just like what you experienced. Thanks, Tim

Hi all, maybe this is a silly question....I have enable archiving on one Feature Class in our ArcSDE through Arc Catalog. How long does it take to add the extra columns and archive class for the Database? I have refreshed the data, disconnected, etc.. still nothing has changed in the database. Is there anything else I can check ? If I right-click again in Arc Catalog I can "disable" archiving....so it has recognised my initial command. I enabled archiving hours ago....the FC has around 65,000 records. Thanks, Tim

Good point…thanks. I guess I’m worried that with months of updates (potentially years and appending lots of objects ~ 60K each time) might cause some speed issues to the Database down the track?

Hi all, I'm pretty new to this but we have a ArcGIS database with many Feature Classes. I have one Feature Class with around 65,000 objects which I want to update on a monthly basis. I need to be able to compare records from one month to the other. What is the best practise to do this? I was thinking of utilising a date-loaded field so that I can compare the months? Or should I be using versioning? The Feature Class will eventually have > 1,000,000 records if I keep appending new monthly data to this feature class each month. I am hoping to compare changes in objects across many months. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks mate. In the end I converted to a python script instead….MB was doing my head in. Tim

Hi Michael, Yeah I got around the problem but running the Python 2.7.9 shell with “No Subprocess”. To do this the target for the python.exe (under properties) is: C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\pythonw.exe lib\idlelib\idle.py –n Regards, Tim

Hi all, Yesterday running ArcGIS 10.2 I was running IDLE 2.7 shell perfectly ! I upgraded to ArcGIS 10.2.2 and now whenever I try and boot up IDLE I get this error: IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection. Anyone experienced this before ??? Anyone have a solution? I essentially can't run any python script. I am running windows 7 service pack 1, 64 bit machine. help ? (edit - I have also uninstalled ArcGIS and reinstalled) Thanks

Thanks Paul. I might revert to a python script instead…as I know this works !!!

Yep – tested this. All I am doing is adding 6 shapefiles/FCs to MB. Adding a few fields to each. Updating the metadata… Then appending to a blank FC….field map to the relevant fields. I was just curious to see if anyone else have had a similar experience. Thanks

Hi Paul, Thanks for the suggestion….I will give it a go. Seems strange that Model Builder is very buggy. Tim

Thanks Joe….will have to investigate this tool. thanks
