I'm trying to export a large SDE to XML so that is can be sent to a client. First I tried export in xml format but the file was too big and the export failed before it could finish. So I'm exporting in the compressed Z file format. The exports run successfully and my file size is about 10gb. Then I'm importing into another blank SDE to make sure it worked properly. The import process runs successfully but, after scanning through some of the feature classes, many of them are missing data. All schema comes across though. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is the file size still too large for Z files? Any help appreciated Thanks Tyler ... View more

I have a route with a time window from 8AM to 5PM. There are too many locations to get in one day. It is planned that it will take 3 weeks for visit all locations. The following, http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//004700000045000000 says that if a route arrives early to a location then a wait time will be accumulated until time window opens up. I have also tried using the VRP solvers and I run into the same issues My problem is that my route is fine until a stop occurs at let say 5:45 PM. What I want is to accumulate a wait time until 8AM the next day. However network analyst just sees it as a time violation and continues routing to my points through the night. In reality the driver will be staying in a hotel then continuing the route the next day. Is there any way to make route honor a daily time window or something. Any solutions using the routing or VRP solver functions would be great. Thanks ... View more

Overview of my project. I have 600 sampling locations and 4 vehicles (150 stops per driver). The locations can only be visited between 8 am and 4:30 pm. Drivers have 30 minute break in middle of the day. What i would like to accomplish are routes that visit the sampling location during time window then assume the driver continues toward next location, stays overnight and starts with next set of points the following day. I want it to repeat this until all 150 points are visited. I would also like routes to return to a specified depot during weekends if possible. I have ran several attempts at this but keep getting violated constraints. It seems as though network analyst doesn't like that routes continue past the Specific Date that I set as a start date in the Analysis Settings. Has anyone successfully created routes spanning multiple days with time constraints? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ... View more
