I'm trying to add a field into an existing feature and when doing so i get the following error:
We are on ArcSDE with SQL being the server DBMS.
I'm on ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1
IT department has looked into things on the database & server side and haven't found anything out of the norm.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
This almost seems like a database lock-up type of issue. It might be best to move this thread to ArcGIS Enterprise
(or maybe Enterprise GIS?? - things are tricky on the GeoNet sometimes...)
Is there a way to stop/start the database and try again?
Or maybe this article can help:
Well i looked into the locks and there is nobody locking the database.
Will have IT restart the database server and see how that goes.
Thanks
Did you check to see if there are any patches for your version that might address this issue?
Here is a patch that has some permissions fixes for SQL Server: Esri Support 10.5 (10.5.1)
ran the patch and that did not resolve the problem.
Server will be restarted overnight and will update tomorrow as to where things stand
Thanks
This is a SQL Server geodatabase? In the error the object you are trying to alter is GIS_Essex_power.dbo.sw_cubicle.Test_report
^I can't tell if the owner is 'dbo' or 'sw_cubicle'. SQL Server fully qualified naming conventions are database.schema.object
What is the full name of your database, schema and object. Are there periods in any of these names?
Have you ever been able to alter this object?
The full name is GIS_Essex_Power.DBO.SW_CUBICLE
I was trying to add another field called "TEST_REPORT"
We recently upgraded to 10.5.1
I haven't had to any fields in quite some time so not sure if this is tied to the upgrade or another problem or not.
Can you make sure that your user is still associated with the dbo schema? This can be confirmed in SQL Server Management Studio.
Are you connected as the data owner? What are your permissions according to ArcCatalog on the feature class.
There are some notes at the top of the help that may be present: Adding fields—Help | ArcGIS Desktop
