After few experimentations we have tested that it is possible to connect ArcGIS Desktop to an Azure Storage Account in "File Share" mode. With a File storage account type it is possible to access it via ArcGIS Desktop (using the access key credentials) and also to Register the related Share storage into ArcGIS Server , making then possible to create Map Services. The key is to register the azure storage account access key parameters as "Windows Credentials" in the ArcGIS Server for the account running ArcGIS Server services.

Hi, I have the exact same need to document a project related to an Enterprise migration to Azure , and for the ESRI stack I can't get ESRI well known and well designed symbols. So all the docs and diagrams looks great when it is comes to Azure, network, infrastructure, ... but not the GIS ones 😞 Philippe Chessel DGtop

Hi, We are migrating an ESRI Enterprise GIS environment to Azure. Part of the process is to push some ESRI files based resources like imagery, file geodatabase into Azure Storage Account. I can setup a Storage Account with Blob Container and upload big imagery and file geodatabases. And I can also register this Block Container as Azure cloud Store resource. Question : how ArcGIS Desktop can access this Blob Container in order to publish map services ? I understand that ArcGIS Desktop could Map a drive to a FileShare storage, but ArcGIS Server cannot register a FileShare storage ? Thanks Philippe Chessel

Thanks This is not the list I am after, I know how to get to the ESRI supported Horizontal and Vertical CRS. And that ArcCatalog can associate one of these to a Feature Class. My question is really about getting an answer if the Microsoft Geometry format can handle a parameter to specify the Vertical reference system (like MSL) of a feature stored in it when using the T-SQL function STPointFromText ( 'point_tagged_text' , SRID ) . Because when you create a Query Layer in ArcGIS , there is no dialog to specify the Vertical reference of a 3D data set stored in SQL Server database , I can only specify the Horizontal CRS.

In SQL Server you can create tables with geometry embedded (point,line, polygon).the geometry can be populated using the STPointFromText ( 'point_tagged_text' , SRID ) function. We can then create also geometry with Z values parsing X Y Z values in the function. But it looks tome that there is only the Horizontal CRS that can be defined (SRID , 4326 for ex). The Vertical CRS (MSL , epsg:5714 for ex) can not be defined in the Microsoft Geometry storage ? Same for the Query Layer in ArcGIS, only the Horizontal CRS can be defined or extracted ? Philippe

Thanks for these details Angelo. So will adopt below workflow from now: Initially: 1. Create the View is SQL rdbms 2. Register the View with ArcGIS Then when altering is needed: 1. Delete the view with ArcGIS 2. Recreate the View in SQL rdbms 3. Register the View with ArcGIS

We are currently migrating an ESRI Enterprise Environment from Oracle to SQL Server (then Azure). And I script a lot of the migration using ArcPy, to be able to re-run it as needed. So it is a lot more convenient and efficient to create all the Spatial Views in the SQL Server/Studio environment and then use ArcPy to Register, Grant .... So I just wanted to add the unregister Feature Class (View) before recreating the Views to be sure that geodatabase is clean. As don't know what the Register Views add in the geodatabase dictionary (?) , I can then only assume that when you ALTER a View in SQL Server, the related Spatial View does not need to be Registered again

Hi , With ArcSDE Geodatabase (10.1) there was a command line to unregister a spatial table or view. At 10.6 , there is not anymore the sde command line. So I am using the Geodatabase Register tool to Register an SQL Spatial View in the Geodatabase . That is working fine. I can not see a Unregister tool in the ArcCatalog toolbox and python ? Is it not needed anymore to Unregister s Spatail View when the SQL View is drop outside of ArcCatalog ? Philippe Chessel

I agree the extents options could reduce the amount of records , but what we want to achieve is give to the target audience of the package only the data related to the map. Plus it would be hard to automate multiple packages creation via python scripts. And in our corporate geodatabase we implement mostly all the spatial layers with a region, country attribute to be able to filter out data on purpose. So if this option was available ("Apply existing definition queries to data exported") that would be a real plus. Thanks

At the moment when I am exporting a .mxd project with lots of layers into a map package using the "Consolidate Map" tool , all the records of each layers in the source arcsde geodatabase are exported into the packaged file geodatabase. Even if the layers have a Definitions Query set. The result is that when you have a huge multi-countries corporate geodatabase , then even if all layers have a country='xxx' where clause in all layers of the mxd, then all records are exported. Then we have to clean the result package to filter out the unwanted features. Would be very good to have an option to apply the Definition Query to the target file geodatabase output.

I have some 3D polygons layers (x,y,z) . I have generated a Feature Map Service with these (they are negative elevation , sub surface) Are they supposed to be displayed as real 3D polygon like in ArcGIS ArcScene or are they only supportd as polygons 2D or polygons extrusions 3D ? Thanks
