Description
If the archive class is stored using ST_Geometry when enabling archiving on a feature dataset or feature class, the archive class' layer's extent is not being set.Because the archive class' layer's extent is not defined, spatial queries are automatically converted to full table scans by the geodatabase. This impacts the performance and scalability of the ArcSDE server.
Cause
When archiving is enabled for a feature dataset or feature class, all features in the Default version are copied into the archive class. In ArcGIS 9.2, the archive class' layer's extent is not being calculated, when all the features are placed in the archive.A layer's extent can be detected by using the sdelayer -o describe_long command. The layer's extent or envelope is reported. In the example below, the envelope for the SEWER layer's historic archive is <EMPTY>.
Note:
The name of the Archive layer is the layer name suffixed with _H. If archiving is enabled multiple times the name must be unique so that a number is added (_Hx where x is a number).
Code:
D:\>sdelayer -o describe_long -l sewer_h,shape -i sde:oracle10g

Layer Configuration ..: DEFAULTS
When enabling archiving, the archive class' layer's envelope is <EMPTY>.
Workaround
To avoid performance problems while working with the archive class, it is very important to set a non-<EMPTY> layer extent or envelope. When the layer envelope is defined as <EMPTY>, the geodatabase does not apply a spatial filter when working with the archive class. The result is that every query against the archive class reads the entire archive class, which performs a full table scan.To set a layer's envelope use the sdelayer -o alter command and either have ArcSDE calculate the layer envelope or explicitly set a layer envelope.
Code:
D:\>sdelayer -o alter -l sewer_h,shape -E calc -i sde:oracle10g
