Additional Information

ArcGIS Desktop (including ArcGIS Engine and ArcObjects) is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026. Mature support means the end of functionality-based patches and hotfixes; therefore, this issue will not be addressed. There are no plans for future releases of ArcGIS Desktop, and it is recommended that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrate

Workaround

  • Do not work with the same data from a file geodatabase in two different projects at the same time.
  • Do not cancel the overwrite process after getting the schema locking error, and close the second ArcMap project.
  • Use ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcMap.
