Yes, this would be interesting.  We have Fire House too.  We also have a person who creates reports from several of our Info Systems.  I plan on him filtering the data that I need to see in his data warehouse, giving me access to it (via connection through ArcGIS for Desktop), and then geocoding against our site addresses and road segments.  From there you can create a heat map. First, for me, I need to verify our addresses in the city and we are currently in that process. ... View more

Steven, I'm about to start working on configuring ArcGIS server.  The initial use will be for internal use and then we plan on opening up some services to the public.  Is what you described for your setup the recommended configuration?  Is there anything additionally configured on the web server hosting the web adaptor? Thank you in advance. ... View more

We have ours in a SDE GDB, so it is possible.  There could be several reasons why it is getting hung.  First thing I would check would be users, roles, and permissions configured for the SDE.  Another thing, do you have data in the LGIM schema in the file GDB or is it schema only that you are trying to export?  If you have data then you may want to try first importing the schema into the SDE.  Then loading the data into the schema. ...

It sounds to me that you need to have a relate or a relationship class instead of a join.  Relates work with 1 to many or many to many records. Joins are for one to one relations with records. ... View more

Ryan I would use X-ray for ArcCatalog to analyze the differences between your schema and the November release and then use the merge schema tool as you wish to apply the changes.  X-ray also has a tool called Import Using Geoprocessing that can be used to append schema changes to your existing model.  You'll just need to isolate the updates you want to make prior to using this tool.

Scott, I'm stuck.  Right now, we have AG Server Basic with the plans to move to standard to implement Web services both internally and externally.  Is ArcGIS Online another solution for web services? How would I use it with the AG Server Basic license? ... View more

I previously work for an Emergency 911 center and I used an ET GeoWizards tool called "Export Nodes" under the polyline tools.  This tool extracted intersecting nodes into shapefile and populated the attribute table with the street names at each intersection (node).  ET Geowizard is an extension and I can not remember if this feature is in their free version or not.  I believe the extension is somewhat cheap and you get a lot more tools than just this.  I do not know if there has been an add-on created for this type of functionality in ArcGIS 10.x.  Hope this helps ...

I have not used the Address Manager piece yet, but in the Network Infrastructure Editing template, there was 3 fields in the DV table. ONCREATE, ONCHANGE, MANUAL. In your case for those features which did not get an ID generated you could set the GENERATE_ID value method to MANUAL=true. Then manually go in and select the parcels without an id and run the manual button. The code to the best of my knowledge was not written for large batch operations, so you might have to do it in chunks. If you do not see the aforementioned fields in your DV table, check out the Network Infrastructure Editing template and you will see the tools and fields I am referring to. We had to do something similar at a previous job when the tools were not installed properly on a person's machine who was doing editing and these fields were left blank. Thanks Ken!  This is want I ended up doing.  An additional note... Remeber to set this back to "ONCREATE" if you want new ones to be genereated on new features. ... View more

I agree with szwillinger.  Data Driven Pages would be a function for ArcReader.  ... View more

I was challenged with the same issue, so here's some psuedo code that may help.   Using the active layer, in an Edit session, this code will loop through a featureclass reading a value from a Filepath field.   Most people already have a column like this in their data, particularly if they use Hyperlinks.  If the filepath value is not null, the associated file is loaded as an attachment for that feature.         Dim pApplication As IApplication         Dim pMxDocument As IMxDocument         Dim pFeatLayer As IFeatureLayer         Dim pFeatureclass As IFeatureClass         Dim pTable As ITable         Dim pContentsView As IContentsView3         Dim pfeature As IFeature         Dim pFeatCursor As IFeatureCursor         Dim OID As Integer         Dim filepath As String         pApplication = m_application         pMxDocument = pApplication.Document         pContentsView = pMxDocument.CurrentContentsView         Dim selectedItem As System.Object = pContentsView.SelectedItem         If Not (TypeOf selectedItem Is ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.ILayer) Then             Return         End If         Dim layer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.ILayer = TryCast(selectedItem, ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.ILayer)         pFeatLayer = TryCast(layer, ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.FeatureLayer)         pFeatureclass = pFeatLayer.FeatureClass         Dim tableAttachments As ITableAttachments = CType(pFeatureclass, ITableAttachments)         Dim attachmentManager As IAttachmentManager = tableAttachments.AttachmentManager         pTable = pFeatLayer         pFeatCursor = pFeatureclass.Search(Nothing, False)         pfeature = pFeatCursor.NextFeature()         Do While Not pfeature Is Nothing             OID = pfeature.OID             filepath = pfeature.Value(pfeature.Fields.FindField("FilePath"))  'the field where you store the filename             If Not filepath.Equals("999") Then                 ' Open a file as a memory blob stream.                 Dim memoryBlobStream As IMemoryBlobStream = New MemoryBlobStreamClass()                 memoryBlobStream.LoadFromFile(filepath)                 ' Create an attachment.                 Dim attachment As IAttachment = New AttachmentClass With _                                                 { _                                                 .ContentType = "image/jpeg", _                                                 .Data = memoryBlobStream, _                                                 .Name = filepath _                                                 }                 ' Assign the attachment to the feature with ObjectID (OID) = 1.                 attachmentManager.AddAttachment(OID, attachment)                 pfeature.Store()                 pfeature = pFeatCursor.NextFeature             Else                 pfeature = pFeatCursor.NextFeature()             End If         Loop         pFeatCursor = Nothing This is going to sound stupid but did you use VBA to run this code? I'm trying to avoid VBA now since it will be no longer supported in future releases. ... View more
