I'm trying to import some MicroStation DGN data into an SDE Geodatabase (Oracle).

 

 

My workflow is built specifically to preserve curved geometries, and when I write to a File Geodatabase, these are intact. However when I write to an SDE Geodatabse these are stroked into straight line segments.

 

 

Looking at the logs I get the following warnings: WARN  |Required columns 'GLOBAL_ID, OBJECTID, ' not specified for predefined table 'GISOWNER.TEST'.  Using Definition from Database

 

WARN  |DEF line for the table 'GISOWNER.TEST' not fully specified. As a result, existing table definitions will be used

 

WARN  |Existing SDE table 'GISOWNER.TEST' allows the following shapes: SDE_NIL SDE_LINE SDE_SIMPLE_LINE SDE_MULTIPART . Shapes specified in mapping file for table allows: . Defined shape types don't match.

 

WARN  |Spatial column name for existing table 'GISOWNER.TEST' is 'SHAPE' while value specified in mapping file is ''. Using existing column

 

WARN  |Existing table 'GISOWNER.TEST' does support CAD but mapping file specification for layer doesn't!

 

WARN  |Existing table 'GISOWNER.TEST' has 64 bit precision but mapping file specifies 0 bit precision for the layer! Using existing table's definition.=======

 

I'm pretty sure I had this working before, so I must have inadvertantly changed something...

 

 

I suspected that the SDE polyline feature class that I was writing to couldn't handle curved geometries - for whatever reason. But I was still able to create curved geometries in the feature class with ArcGIS Desktop.

 

 

Any suggestions? Thanks.
