Database properties

2025.1    |

You can discover information about a file geodatabase to which you are connected in ArcGIS Drone2Map using the Database Properties dialog box.

To open these properties, right-click the file or connection in the Catalog pane and click Properties.

The properties are described in the following sections.

Properties applicable to all

The following properties apply to file geodatabase connections.

Name

This property displays the directory path for the database to which you're connected. This path is the location where the file geodatabase is stored.

Type

If you are unsure what type of file or connection you have, use the Type property on the Database Properties dialog box to determine whether you are connected to a file geodatabase.

Properties specific to geodatabases

If you are connected to a geodatabase, the Database Properties dialog box indicates whether the geodatabase is a replica involved in a distributed data workflow.

Geodatabase replication is a data distribution method provided through ArcGIS that allows you to distribute your data to different geodatabases and synchronize changes made to the data in each geodatabase.

Upgrade status

Upgrading a geodatabase allows you to use the functionality available in the latest release of ArcGIS. Use the Upgrade Status property of the Database Properties dialog box to determine whether the geodatabase can be upgraded from the ArcGIS Drone2Map client version from which you connect to the geodatabase.

You must connect to the geodatabase as the geodatabase administrator to upgrade.

Before you upgrade, ensure the following:

  • That you need the functionality or bug fixes available in the version to which you will upgrade.
  • No one else in your organization requires the geodatabase to stay at the current version. For example, if a department is using a third-party app or plug-in that cannot yet support the newer version of the geodatabase but you upgrade the geodatabase, you leave them unable to use their app.
  • The version of the database you're using is supported for the version of the geodatabase to which you're upgrading.
  • You have a full backup of the database and no one else is connected to it.

Geodatabase version

When you create or upgrade a geodatabase, the date and the associated geodatabase version are stored in the geodatabase. This information is displayed in the Geodatabase Version section of the Database Properties dialog box.

You must connect to the geodatabase as the geodatabase administrator to access this information.
