ERROR
In an SQL Server SDE geodatabase, the 'sde_compress_log' table displays in ArcCatalog after a compress is performed in ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1. If this table is already registered with a geodatabase, performing the compress on the geodatabase again produces the following error:
Before registering with the geodatabase, the compress_id column in the sde_compress_log table has its Identity set as 'True', so that newly inserted records have a unique identity value for the compress_id column.
When the sde_compress_log is registered with the geodatabase, the compress_id column is removed and added back in, but the Identity value is changed from 'True' to 'False'. When new records are inserted into the sde_compress_log table, the compress_id column value is null, which conflicts with the "not null" constraint.
