The client that Esri provides is an Instant Client (Light weight). You are not required to install the full client to make a connection. You could test by downloading the Instant Client form the Customer Care Portal and follow in the installation instructions. Setting up a connection to Oracle: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//002n00000038000000 You may want to verify that the Oracle 12c client was completely removed from the PATH variable. Is the Oracle DB installed on Linux or Windows for the O/S? -George ... View more

Rodolfo, Sounds like you may have the PATH variable for the clients incorrect. The 64-bit client goes first in the PATH variable if you have desktop and server installed on the same machine. Are you using the full Oracle client or the Instant Client provided by Esri? Here is the documentation for Registering an Oracle database with server: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//015400000617000000 Hopefully this will help! -George ...

Jamal, Have you built pyramids and statistics on the mosaic dataset? Mosaic dataset overviews: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//009t00000040000000 It looks like the data is not available for that scale range.

Hi Bonnie, The minimum amount of RAM that they recommend is 4GB. I have tested with 8GB of RAM and it performs well. The system requirements are located at the same URL that you used to download the Pro app. The Pro app is not designed, at this point, to work with shapefiles. They will be adding more functionality as the app is developed more. Hope this helps. -George ... View more

Chad, You may want to look into using the Generate Attachment Match Table, This would allow you to set up the way the attachments are matched. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#/Generate_Attachment_Match_Table/001700000157000000/ Hope that this helps. George ... View more

If you guys are just deleting all the features out of the table and not deleting a selection of the table, I would try to use the Truncate Table tool. This tool will removed all the records/rows in a table. Truncate Table (Data Management): http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//00170000016z000000 *This will not work on a versioned data....... Be sure to test this on a test geodatabase with data first. Not on your production.  🙂 Hope this helps. -George ... View more

This link may be what you are looking for. You basically use an OLE DB Connection. Connecting to a Microsoft Access database in ArcGIS: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//005s00000023000000 George ... View more

Hi Jerome, Thanks for the update. Based on the fact that the data is from 2007, the Non-Regulatory products would not be available. I do not know how to complete the entire process that you need, but am very familiar with the FEMA data. ... View more

Jerome, I would not use the BFE lines to calculate the flood elevation at any point. These lines are estimates that are rounded up/down to the nearest foot. I would only use the Cross Section (S_XS) line to calculate the flood depth. You can rasterize the XS as a single elevation (using the 1% annual chance elevation), once you clip them to the floodway in your case, and then interpolate the depth between them. This will leave some room for error since there could be a large drop of elevation and there is not a XS nearby. For the flood data that you are using, was it done recently? Do you happen to have any Non-Regulatory products as part of the final deliverables? One other thing to look for may be to get the engineering models that were used to calculate the flood depths and use those rasters. Hopefully some of this helps.... George ... View more

Just the geoprocessing history part of the metadata gets deleted. This can become rather large over time. The Documentation field is located in the SDE.GDB_ITEMS table, it is an XML field. I just tested this on a local instance of SQL Server(2012), using ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 SP1 w/QIP installed, and it just deleted the Geoprocessing History for the feature classes that I selected. I verified in the Metadata, for those feature classes, that the geoprocessing section is now empty. I only tested this on a 10.x geodatabase, not a 9.3.x version. System Tables of a Geodatabase in SQL Server Here is a link to a KB article that talks about how to do it via Python: Automate the process of deleting geoprocessing history I would recommend doing this after you have a full, verified backup of the geodatabase or on a test instance. This is in case there are any hiccups during the process. Hopefully this helps clear up some questions. ... View more

I am wondering if it has to do with the fact that most of the roads are a single polygon and it is creating the errors. There are also a bunch of very small polygons that barely have geometry to them. I think that they may get collapsed when loaded into the SQL geodatabase as part of the check when loading data. I have read you other post (http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/107598-Error-�??line-string-or-poly-boundary-is-self-intersecting�?�-error) and think that these issues are all related. What is you try to split the massive road polygon into smaller pieces for loading? ... View more
