My company is upgrading our system architecture. We are looking at putting in failover servers. We are also looking at acquiring ArcGIS Enterprise with ArcGIS Pro and Portal. Regarding failover servers, we are currently planning on setting them up as active/passive. It is my understanding that Esri has a Failover License specifically for the this purpose. Does the license change based upon what version of ArcGIS Enterprise is used? If, in the future, we decide to switch from active/passive to active/active, how easy is it to change the license? What license would be needed? Is there any other additional hardware or software that would be needed for failover servers? Sockets? Cores? ... View more

What licenses are needed for a server farm? I am planning on having 2-3 servers beyond the firewall as the server farm. Does each server need an ArcGIS license? What kind of license is needed? For ArcGIS Pro we will be using standard and advanced licenses. We will be using ArcGIS Enterprise with ArcGIS Pro and Portal. ... View more

My company is considering acquiring ArcGIS Enterprise with ArcGIS Pro and Portal. We are trying to figure out if any of our existing servers can be reconfigured to be used for ArcGIS Enterprise software. We currently have an Isilon a200 4xIntel Pentium Processor D1508 with 2x 10Gbe Connections per node and RAM with 16 per node. Being an Isilon it is not an application server. Is there a way to reconfigure it to be used as Tile Cache Data Store? ... View more

Collector applications were developed for appraisers to use for property visits after Hurricane Harvey passed through the area.  In order for the progress to be monitored by managers, Operation Dashboard applications were requested. While the applications needed to download the layers from ArcGIS Online that were edited in Collector, the dashboard applications needed to use Portal and be updated on a regular basis. Challenges existed in accessing the ArcGIS Online data layers, combining the different layer types into one layer without any duplicates, and keeping only the most recently edited records for each parcel. With layer sizes ranging from 4,000 parcels to 50,000 parcels it was also important to keep only the parcels currently under review and develop a procedure to allow dashboard to display as many parcels as possible for at-a-glance viewings without crashing. The dashboard applications were set up with multiple widgets and filters to allow queries by property types, workers, dates, etc. ... View more

The Hearing Evidence Mapping Application was first developed in 2013 and was created to assist agents, owners and appraisers in protests and hearings. In the beginning the application (HEMA) was programmed in Classic ASP using VB, JS, HTML, and CSS to display and handle basic queries involving only two sales layers which were populated by SQL stored procedures. The two layers were displayed upon a map and mirrored the sales information provided in the hearing evidence pdf packets created for each protest. In 2016 more layers were added and the number of SQL SP's referenced were doubled. In 2017 additional filters and search widgets were included. Along each step of the way team leads from Residential and Commercial groups closely worked with GIS developers to ensure each modification and addition were designed for the best interests of the end users. In the middle of 2017 the decision was made to migrate the application to ASP.NET and C#  in order to handle the increasing work load and stress (over 330,000 hearings in 2017) that was being placed upon the platform by all of the additional layers and queries. ...

Dashboard has the ability to sort alphabetically and by date modified but there is not an option to put the dashboard apps in different folders. Apps from different projects are all clumped together on the same screen. Searching for a specific app takes time. Searching by title only provides minimal help when the titles are similar. When you have multiple apps from multiple projects it can take a bit of searching to find the apps (I currently have 54 to comb through). Portal and ArcGIS Online already have the option to create folders, I would like this option to be carried over into Operations Dashboard. ... View more
