We actually solved the issue for us. We installed our own Portal.  In the process we had to create services on the new database.  We agreed as a whole to create Feature services that ONLY make use of ONE feature dataset.  We created folders that match the Feature Datasets in which to keep the services.   This way we don't need to track which service is making use of a feature.   ...

You really are better off not doing that. As a possibility. Convert your PDF's to TIFF and place them in a database and link them to the the locations. Do you have an way to match each drawing up to a specific location. I imagine your are talking possibly thousands of drawings. You may be able to reverse engineer an attachment table.  Normally when you create attachments it links the attachment to a specific feature.  The relationship is via a relationship id.  But if you could specify a generic relationship in the attachment and relate it to a unique attribute in your feature you may be able to load tiffs or jpgs into the attachment table.  This will most likely create a LOT of log files that will need to be removed  you also might be better off creating a single pdf of your drawings that are indexed and distributing that.  ...

Look into Carry Map from Data East.  One of the distribution coops. I work with has 75000 meters and their system is set up to publish a new CarryMap in the middle of the night and push it out to the line crews iPads every night. That way the crews can have data that is  as old as that morning. You can also export map packages every night and they can use ArcGIS Explorer ... View more

Easily, no there is not and this has been a point of contention for quite a few years. There are ways to do it with Python as I have seen posted. However, for me the easiest way is to make the feature class in a personal Geodatabase.  Unloaded is fine Open the database in MS Access.  Reorder the fields in Access. Bring the new world order into your SDE.  ... View more
