shrug-l: Metadata not saving updates

[Tripp Corbin]

I have never seen this one before. My first thought would be a
permissions issue. What type of geodatabase is it? Can you add other
features or change other existing settings such as add a new field to a
feature class? Can you add metadata to other areas? What are the specs
of the machine giving you trouble?

Subject: shrug-l: Metadata not saving updates



Happy Friday Everyone!

 

I am trying to update the metadata for a geodatabase that I created.  I
am trying to add the attribute information into the box labeled "Entity
and Attribute Overview Description" in the FGDC metadata editor.  I type
everything in and click Save and it displays in the metadata.  If I
close out or refresh the metadata, the attribute data I added in the box
is gone.  I've tried to export the metadata immediately, but the added
text does not export.  I can save changes made in other sections of the
metadata editor, such as in the abstract.

 

Do not automatically update metadata is unchecked.

 

I cannot duplicate the mystery on another machine.  When I import the
xml document that contains all of the attribute information (added in on
a different machine) the attribute information does not import.

 

I have checked my machine for viruses and spyware.  It came out clean.
I have upgraded from ArcGIS 9.1 sp2 to ArcGIS 9.2 sp2, the problem
persists.  I have checked the original xml code and it does not contain
the added text.  The xml document created on the other computer does
contain the added text in the code but still will not show the
information when viewing the metadata in ArcCatalog after it has been
imported.  I posted this on the ESRI User Forum on Wednesday, but still
have not received any replies 

 

I had a problem with the symbology in the ArcGIS TOC disappearing and
found that it was related to a program that was running in the
background for my new mouse.  I thought that the disappearing symbology
and the disappearing metadata may have been related but it doesn't seem
to be, I'm still having the problem with the metadata but not with the
symbology. 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you
