That did the trick, thank you. I zipped up ngdbc.jar, uploaded it to ArcGis server through /admin/upload Registered it under data/relational Then I was able to make the connections in Insights ... View more

Thank you so much! That is a great lead. I did not register the JDBC drivers and I did not know about the desktop version. I will try both and report back.  ... View more

Doh - just read this: "Install Postman on your computer so you can create, inspect, and debug HTTP requests." This isn't a library is it ; ( I just saw a vid about a lightweight Esri specific rest lib somewhere - was I imagining? ... View more

Ya, that is not really clear. It's Object Oriented JS - So some objects inherit all the properties and methods of its base class and it's parents base class, and so on. So.... Way way back is Accessor. [Accessor | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7  ] This gives each class the ability to create a copy of its code, with that copy you can overwrite any method you wish. I needed to change the symbology to Any Color/Size/Outline the user wanted - So I createSubclass and overwrote its "getSymbol" method. I'm thinking you can do the same but instead of changing color and style, you could insert some CSS to or an animated SVG. Either way, you could place a hook on it that you could use the DOM to look for later after render. community.esri.com/thread/192639-custom-simplerenderer-js-43 Hope that helps ... View more

You might try subclassing the PictureMarkerSymbol, you might be able to change the class or animations there. I need to make a custom renderer that would display any symbol. This was my solution. Custom SimpleRenderer JS 4.3  ... View more

I've seen the "Failed to create layer from service". This usually occurs for me when I forget to allow access from my Print Server to the ArcGis Server. The Print Job get sent to our GP Printing service on Box A, and the ArcGis Rest services are on Box B - Internally Box A spins up a map and connects to Box B, often Box A cannot see Box B using the Public address in the map specifications. You can test this quickly by logging on the Box A using the GPService's/ArcGis NT(the NT creds, not the ArcGis Server creds) login creds and trying to hit your rest services with a Browser. ...

We really need to see the error, but.... We had issues with printing due to the size of the WebMapToJson string combined with a GET call to the server. GET has a character limit and when we added "too much" stuff, it broke. Our solution was to switch the call to a POST. ... View more

Some of the events are gone, but the hooks are still there. You can inherit the class and override some of the key functions. For example, I used a custom renderer to allow for any range of unique symbology. You could modify this to allow each symbol to do whatever you wanted. Add a timer to pulse, change color, size, rotation, add listeners to other events ie data changes, render a d3 svg. We used something like the code below to show a pie-graph for each points symbol. Be careful with this though, you will get one of these for each item displayed on your map. You must also clean up your objects and event handlers when your object is destroyed by the map.

If you have access to the ArcGis Servers a Server Object Interceptor (SOI) might work for you. We implemented a Feature Level security for a client. When the request for an edit/update/delete came in, we grabbed it, looked up the user to see if they had access to that feature, if so, we let the call go through, if not, we send back an error. It's an entirely different toolset than your using on the client side. A simpler option is to have two sets of Services, one for viewing and one for editing. Then lock the editable services down to just the groups you wish to have edit privileges.  Another option is to set up a proxy - send your calls through the proxy, check security and pass or reject. Again, probably a different toolset than you might be used to. This solution also has the Client-Side only issues listed below. Your current option is not a bad one either. But with a client-side only solution is that you still will have a back door. The widget might be disabled, but the rest endpoint would still be active and open.  ... View more
