Unable to create a geometric network in a PostgreSQL Spatial Database Connection

Question

I've created in ArcCatalog a Spatial Database Connection to an PostgreSQL database server. I've imported there all my data (from a local hard drive) and now I want to edit them. But apparently I cannot build a geometric network, neither a topology in my Feature Dataset.

The error message is like this:

"Cannot create geometric network. The selected feature dataset does not contain any feature classes which can participate in a new geometric network"

.

This usually happens when you have either a topology or a geometric network, but I have neither.

I use postgreSQL 8.3 / ArcGIS 10.0 / ArcSDE for PostgreSQL 10

Answer 1

Apparently the problem is the fact that I imported my data from my local drive. Somehow the imported data is still connected to the place from where I've imported the data and prevents me from creating a geometric network here. The solution would be to create the data all over again, but this would take ages. So? how can I solve this import thing and be able to create a geometric network in the same time?

Answer 2

Check if the featureclasses are not registered as version.
