Setting the save interval in the Product Library Properties dialog box (Aviation)

The ArcSDE geodatabase multiuser environment allows multiple users to save their changes back to the product library geodatabase simultaneously. Errors can occur when actions are performed at the same time. The save interval properties minimize these errors by automatically retrying the save operation after a set time interval. The most common operations that return these errors are creating and checking in products. When a save error occurs, the software waits and tries to create the product or the check in again. The attempt is repeated a number of times before returning an error and canceling if the operation wasn’t successful. You can configure the save interval and the number of tries in the Production Properties or Product Library Properties dialog boxes.

The following steps guide you through the process of changing save intervals in the Product Library Properties dialog box.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. Right-click Product Library and click Properties.

   The Product Library Properties dialog box appears.

4. Click the cell next to Number of Retries in the ArcSDE Geodatabase Access section and type the number of attempts you would like the software to try before returning an error.

   The default is 60, but the value can be 0–5000.

5. Click the cell next Retry Save Interval (seconds) in the ArcSDE Geodatabase Access section and type the time you would like the software to wait between each try.

   The default is 5 seconds, but the value can be 0–60.

6. Click OK.
