Error: The Arc Attribute Items between the Coverages, Do Not Match

Solution or Workaround

When using PUT or GET to move features from one coverage to another, the
attributes are not carried over and the following error occurs:

"The arc attribute items between the coverages, do not match
Only the User-Id and any matching items will be copied over
Copying the arc(s) into C:\USERS\MYBUILD..."

Cause:

PUT and GET commands do not carry over all attributes unless the Feature Attribute Tables (FATs) are identical. It has also been reported that having duplicate cover-ids can also prevent the attributes from being copied over.

Answer:

Create identical FATs. If the situation persists, make sure that there are no
duplicate cover-IDs in the two features being combined. For example, if the
editcoverage has cover-IDs 1 thru 100, make sure the PUT coverage has IDs of no less than 100.
