Thanks Dan.  I can do that for polygons - any suggestions for points?  I don't know that simply converting the dd to meters will be accurate enough for our specifications, especially since it appears in many cases to only be reporting one digit when malfunctioning - which, after conversion, will result in many of the buildings having the same values in the ara/wid/lzn columns, which would be a misrepresentation of the data.  Especially annoying conversion given you have to account for differing latitudes... In further testing, I additionally found that the tool will sometimes only create area buildings (IF you have 'always create building checked', otherwise it has to be drawn giantly to actually add a building) when the Halo on.  It appears to act as such due to the fact it is reporting and reading two different numeric representations of the feature's drawn geometry. Thanks again. -Randy ... View more

I also don't know if this is relevant, but we are connecting to an imagery service as well. ... View more

Thank you.  I know how picky DataReViewer is about always wanting you to use the DataReViewer interfaces so I was convinced I had to go through the service controller.  I will try the GP to Script method - it sounds right to me.  Good call on phasing out the service, it seems like it wants to do things in the wrong order anyway. -Randy ...

Furthermore, since posting this (since I had to give up on doing it the other way).  I had the idea of creating the RBJs for each area and installing the service on each analysts computer and having them initialize the service based on provided rbj checks that I build and just having them either map it to a session or different db.  doesn't matter.  BUT, surprise.  If it's installed on a desktop, and not directly on the server, the checks all set up, but the service never runs the check.  just flat out doesn't do anything.  pops up says service started, but never executes the job.  and it's a super basic job.  takes the server like 12 seconds to run it. So, really, I'm back to square one, since none of this seems to work.  Which square one is like in 2010 or something when we just had analysts sit and wait while it ran for hours.  Which is really depressing.  Okay, I have to go now before I start in about having the option to set merge policies, but not being able to actually use them unless you want to invent a merge tool... ...

Hi Kumar. Although I have some of the ArcGIS for Server software installed, we have not yet begun the long and arduous journey to migrating to a webserver (which, as far as I understand it, is required to use workflow manager and other ArcGIS for server features), so for now, I am just working with SQLServer 2008r2 and ArcGIS version10.2.2 for desktop.  To answer your questions: 1- ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Desktop ArcGIS 10.2.2 License Manager Esri Production Mapping 10.2.2 Esri Defense Mapping 10.2.2 ArcGIS 10.2.2 Data Reviewer for Desktop ArcSDE 10.2.2 for Microsoft SQL Server ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Server ArcGIS 10.2.2 Workflow Manager for Server ArcGIS 10.2.2 Data Reviewer for Server 2 - Yes.  I am just remapping the work-space location so that the same checks will be valid to run on multiple different databases.  I realize this is not the case, but ideally I would like to:  1 - create one set of checks in a master RBJ file 2-  pick which databases the checks get ran on and 3 - just specify the session (or even a different database for that matter) that each database's results get put into.  3 - Yes. At minimum, if each cell's results would be written to different sessions, then the analyst responsible for that cell will be able to just connect to the reviewer database (an sde database) and see the check results for their area only (since each session will be unique to each cell).  I have it set to only run on changed features, so every day, only new results are added to the table. But as it sits, I can set one reviewer work-space, that writes to one session, that uses checks that have to specify what database they are to be run on.  Database.  Not Databases.  So, as a simple example. if I want to check make sure none of the buildings in my databases have an ARA = 12, then I have to write that in an RBJ file for database one.  Then I have to duplicate that RBJ and change the database it's mapped to to database2. And so on.  And that would be okay, but from there all I can do is import all of those checks into the configuration.  But now what?  Where does that leave me? It leaves me in one of two places. I can either load all the checks for all the databases and have the service run that once.  But that just shoves all of the data into one session that people have to sort through and is separated geographically by vasts swaths of earth and man-made boundary.  OR I can load the RBJ that's mapped to area1 only and set that to either a different datareviewer workspace or a different session.  doesn't matter.  Then I could create a configuration file with just the checks that are mapped to area2 and set that to either a different datareviewer workspace or a different session.  doesn't matter. .  BUT the service controller only allows one configuration file at a time.  So unless I only want it to run on AREA1 every day, I have to wait for it to run area1's configuration.  Then change the configuration to Area2's configuration. Manually restart the service.  Wait for it to run on area2.  Change the config to AreaX. restart service...and so on.  Which, at that level of manual over-site, you'd just be better off running the process in ArcMap because it's as or more labor intensive. I hope this has helped you gain a clearer picture of my issue.  Do not hesitate to ask for more information. ... View more

Man, so close.  It exports it and makes the index field "objectid_1"  I need it to be RecordID.  I think i can create a blank table and import it maybe. ... View more

Just found a gp tool called "sort" I think that is what I need.  Will mark as answer if it works out. ... View more

Hi. I used the Reviewer table importer exporter tool to transfer the data to sde. We have modified the reviewer dataset, but only the correction statuses.  I have, since my question, been able to get the table to line back up to my features, but the record, object, and link IDs are not the same.  This is only for the unmodified data. To do this, I calculate the OID in the Revtablenmain to equal the record ID (since the revpoly OID/LINKID fields match now, when they were in a fGDB LINKID = (OID -1) )  But as for how to get the ones that have been corrected since being put in sde to match back up, well I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. Thanks. -RC ... View more

10.2.1 Shapefiles are unable to be spatially modified‌ here is something I asked about not too long ago.  It may or may not have something to do with your issue.  It's logged, but not fixed as far as I know.  But if you are using Mapping and Charting, then that may be your issue. ... View more

Yep.  That article goes over the whole thing. ... View more
