We have a topology that includes Parcel, Zoning, and General Plan (GP)  feature classes.  The Zoning and GP "Area boundary must be covered by Boundary of" Parcel.  We included this rule such that when a parcel boundary is adjusted then the zoning and GP must move with it.  However, there are MANY exceptions to the rule which were painstakingly reviewed when the topology was created.   Now we would like to add some additional feature classes to participate in the topology.  I tested this, and see that as soon as I add a new feature class, all the exceptions go out the window and we would need to start all over.  Is there any way to keep the marked exeptions?

I would like to add a feature class to the topology of a featureDataset in ArcSDE (version 10) that was registered as versioned.  I disabled archiving and unregistered the featureDataset as versioned.  I tried to run the "Add featureclass to topology" tool, but get the error "Cannot add a class that is registered as versioned to a topology".  (The feature class and the topology are both in the featureDataset which I just unregistered as versioned) Thanks for any insight, Sebastian Roberts ...

After making edits in a versioned featuredataset, the version changes tool lists 15 updates to the parcel feature class which was not edited.  The parcel and zoning feature classes participate in a topology.  The first of the 7 changes listed for parcel are miniscule changes in the shape area and lenght.  I assume that this is an annoying side affect of topology.  Even if we just split one zoning feature (note, no boundary shared with parcels is edited), then several parcel features that merely touch the split feature have their shapes updated by a miniscule amount.  Is this a "feature" or a bug? Secondly, I have 8 features in the feature class that was not edited that appear in the version changes tool as updates, but no change is highlighted.  I understood from the version changes document help documen that at least one property should be printed as bold so you can see what attribute (or shape) was changed.  Why would these be listed?  See the attached image. Finally, if I validate topolgy for the area, all topology errors that were marked as exceptions for any of the featues in all of the feature classes that participate in the topology that touch the split zoning feature are unmarked and I have to review them all again.  Is this also a "feature"? ...

I have a request to embed just the query task widget in a web page for a department (basically enter a search string and show the results just as records in the widget).  Does anyone have an example of project where this has been done.  I'm having trouble figuring out which pieces I need to tease out of the sample viewer without having to recreate the design of the widget and the functionality of the record repeater that displays the results.

I have a widget that allows a user to upload a text file which is read into a data grid.  The I call the locator task "addresstoLocations" with an AsynchronousResponder.  In my onREsult function, I can access an Array with all the result candidates, but it seems that I don't have access to the actual address that was sent to the geocoder.  I would like to be able to tie the values in the data grid back to their corresponding graphics (so I can highlight or zoom to).  This doesn't seem possible with an asynchronous responder becasue I dont' know which return belongs to which datagrid element.  I'd like to be able to add the seach address to the graphic as an attribute, or add the matched address to the dataGrid in a second column.  Without one of those solutions, the only thing I can do when a user clicks on a datagrid row is match the data grid address string with the graphic address string which only works for exact matches that have a score of 100.   Is there some way to access the address field that was sent to the task in the Result function?  Or alternatively, can you run this as a synchronous response, so that you still have access to all the variables in the calling function? private function doFind():void    {     myGraphicsLayer.clear();     var myAddress:Object;     var myOutFields:Array = ["Match_addr"];     addressData = new ArrayCollection();         for (var i:Number=0; i <  addressDataImported.length; i++) {      var tempAddressObj:GeoAddress = new GeoAddress();      tempAddressObj.address = addressDataImported.street;                myAddress = {Street:tempAddressObj.address};        locateTask.addressToLocations(myAddress, myOutFields, new AsyncResponder(onResult, onFault));     }         //populates the data Grid with the actual addresses returned.     addressDataImported = addressData;     map.addLayer(myGraphicsLayer);                 //nested function     function onResult(candidates:Array, token:Object = null):void   {      if (candidates.length > 0)  {       var addressCandidate:AddressCandidate = candidates[0];        var myGraphic:Graphic = new Graphic();                                myGraphic.geometry = addressCandidate.location;       myGraphic.symbol = resultSymbol;       myGraphic.toolTip = addressCandidate.address.toString();       myGraphic.attributes = addressCandidate.address;       addressData.addItem(addressCandidate.address);       myGraphic.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver );       myGraphic.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut );       myGraphicsLayer.add(myGraphic);      }           function onFault(info:Object, token:Object = null):void    {       Alert.show("Failure: \n" + info.toString());       }          }         private function onItemClick(event: ListEvent):void    {     if (myGraphicsLayer.numGraphics > 0){                  highlightedGraphic = findGraphicByAttribute(event.itemRenderer.data)      if (highlightedGraphic) {       var myPoint:MapPoint = highlightedGraphic.geometry as MapPoint;       map.scale = 2257;       map.centerAt(myPoint);      }     }    }       public function findGraphicByAttribute( attributes : Object ) : Graphic    {     for each( var graphic : Graphic in myGraphicsLayer.graphicProvider)     {                                                                 //only can search for an exact match      if ( graphic.attributes. === attributes)      {       return graphic;      }     }       return null;    } ...

Hi,   I am using the batch geocode sample found at http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16855 The widget loads a list of addresses from an xml file.  How could I have a user either paste a comma separated list of addresses into a textArea, or import a text file from a user?  Perhaps there is another better solution, but basically I need to get a list of addresses like "123 South Street" "345 Hampton Street" into an xml file, or into my data grid.

I have added the functionality to give the user the option to export the map to a jpeg from the right click context menu.  When I right click on my Map to get the context menu using Internet Explorer, the mouse (cursor) disappears.  I can still pick a menu choice, and it reappears on a left click, but it is quite annoying. Does anyone know of a fix? I am using the Adobe 3.3 SDK, Flash Player 10.1, and the 1.3 ESRI API. Thanks, Sebastian Roberts Nevada County GIS ... View more

I would like to enable archiving on a feature Dataset.  Now, as I understand it, certain schema changes (such as adding a feature Class) to this featue dataset will automatically unregister the dataset as versioned.  What happens to archiving when I unregister and register as versioned.  From the documenation, it sounds like I can preserve the archiving class as a temporal table.  When I reregister the featureDataset, will this temporal table also be registered as the archive table, or do I have to start a new archive? ...
