CONVERTING DATA FOR USE WITH THE GIS SERVER ON UNIX
COPYING A PERSONAL GEODATABASE AS AN ARCSDE
GEODATABASE
1. Open ArcCatalog.
2. In the tree view or contents view, browse to the location where the personal
geodatabase (*.mdb) is stored. If the file is located on a UNIX machine, you
should have access to that file from Windows and have sufficient permissions
for reading the data.
3. Select the personal geodatabase to be copied. Right-click the feature dataset,
feature class, raster data, and table you want to copy.
4. Click Copy.
You can also copy and paste data by clicking the
data in the ArcCatalog tree or contents view,
dragging it to another location, and dropping it.
To copy a geometric network or a topology class
and all the participating feature classes, copy and
paste the network or topology class only. This
will copy all the participating feature classes
along with it. You cannot copy and paste
individual feature classes participating in a
network or topology.
5. Right-click the ArcSDE geodatabase you want to copy the data to.
6. Click Paste. A dialog box appears that indicates what data is being copied. Any
name conflicts are automatically resolved and highlighted in red.
