[fdo-users] ArcSDE questions

[Matt Winger]

Did you copy the dll files from SDE into the Map > FDO > Bin directory.

There's a white paper from Autodesk on how to connect to an SDE server.
I think they are sde.dll, pe.dll, and sg.dll.

If you don't have those in place it will not connect.

Subject: [fdo-users] ArcSDE questions

I have a few of questions related to ArcSDE.

I am using ArcSDE 9.3 with SQLServer 2005 as the database and the dbo 
user. I am starting with an empty schema. Through ArcCatalog I have 
created a line feature class. However, I can not see the feature class 
listed when I connect through Autocad Map's display manager. When I 
connect there are no features listed to bring onto the map. Not having 
much experience with ArcCatalog, I would like to know if creating a 
feature class is what I need to do to see features in Autocad. If so, 
are there any special considerations in building the feature class?

Also, at this point there is no data in the feature class. Could this be

why it is not listed in the display manger connection?

Finally, I have some .net code that I use to port data from Autocad into

an FDO datastore. It works with Oracle and MySQL. I am not sure of the 
connection strong parameters required to connect to ArcSDE. In my code I

create a string as follows:

"service=MyService; username=MyUser; password=MyPass;
datastore=MyDataStore"

What I am not sure about is what to put in for MyService and MyDataStore

when using ArcSDE.

I have tried the GIS server name for MyService and the schema name for 
MyDataStore but I can not connect.

Any guidance on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

George McLean
