00138: Standalone table has an invalid data source (SDS)

Your standalone table points to a data source that cannot be published to this particular spatial data server (SDS) connection.

Solution

• Make sure that the standalone table references a valid data source. See the table below for the supported databases by SDS connection type.
  1. Copy or move datasets referenced by your layer into a single enterprise geodatabase or a single standard enterprise database that is supported by your SDS connection type.

  2. Once you have all your data in a single geodatabase, set the data source for the layers so that they all point to this single enterprise geodatabase.

     Caution:

     All layers referencing an enterprise geodatabase must share a single connection to that database. This error may trigger even though the source database is the same. For example, if you have multiple connections to the same database and used different connections to add layers to the data frame, this error will result when you analyze.

     Make sure that you use a single, common connection to the geodatabase when adding the data to your map or setting the data source for an existing layer.

• If your connection is Java-based, check to make sure the database is properly registered with the SDS server.

More information

SDS connections can be either Java or .Net. Each of these SDS connection types supports specific enterprise data sources.

.Net	Microsoft SQL Server SQL Azure
Java	PostgreSQL Oracle IBM DB2 and Spatial Extender

For Java, the database has to be explicitly mapped for Java (registered with the SDS server). However, for .NET you can add connections on the fly when you publish.
