Workflow that manages concurrent
multiuser editors on a single ArcSDE data
source
Versions represent states or views of the
geodatabase
Edits are maintained in delta tables until
compression
Before:
Have single editor in each file geodatabase
Notify editors when to disconnect from database
Copy edits from the file geodatabases to a staging
file geodatabase, then push those to SDE
Repeat process for each database
After:
Multiple editors in same source
Run maintenance when all users disconnected
Eliminating dataset duplicates
Faster processing times for dataset
edits
Version control
Collaboration
Register data as
versioned
Create versions and
grant privileges
Provide training to
editors

Reconcile edits before beginning an edit
session
Database administration
Everyone has to be out of database in order to perform
full compression
Checking the process_information table
was cumbersome (fixed in 10.1)
Need elevated permissions to disconnect users
Resolving conflicts
Do not reach full compression
Locks on the database
Deleting tables from the back end
Transaction logs become full
Implement versioned editing to more
SDE databases
Need a more automated QA process
Work on automating maintenance
scripts as scheduled tasks
