ArcGIS server feature service exclusive lock error

[RahulMetangale2]

Hi All,

I have a database with multiple versions. One of the version from this database is used to publish a feature service. I edited the different version and when I try to sync that with the version used to published feature service i get an error "exclusive lock". In geodatabase administration - Lock tab i can see that lock is taken by the ArcGIS server user used to publish the service.  If I stop the service then i can sync the changes. Is this expected behavior?

Regards,

Rahul

Hi Rahul,

When you say 'sync' do you mean reconcile & post?  You should be able to reconcile & post a child with a parent version when there is a service created from the parent version.

What version of SDE and ArcGIS Server are you running?  Also, which RDBMS (i.e. SQL Server 2012, Oracle 11.2.0.3) are you using?

Hi Jake,

Thank you for your response.

Yes by sync i mean reconcile and post.  Here is the configuration:

ArcGIS 10.1

ArcSDE 10.1

SQL Server 2008

This is strange.  An ArcGIS Server service should only place a 'shared' lock on the service, not an exclusive.  An exclusive lock will be placed on a feature class if you were altering the schema, i.e. adding a field.  You may want to contact Tech Support.
