1. Are your raster files stored on a file share?  Is the file share registered as a datastore on your Image/RA server? 2. Is the MDS feeding an image service?  If yes, stop the services and run your process again. 3.  Not knowing your infrastructure capabilities, limitations and constraints, Why host the MDS in RDBMS?  A FGDB does well in these workflows. ...

What is service usage by user report actually reporting? For example, a connection to a service with a duration, or the number of calls a user makes to the service?  Explained another way, the server service stats for number of "hits" appears to be derived by number of queries and not reflective of the number of users. ...

Is "enterprise database" referring to a 3rd party Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) configured to host Enterprise GeoData Base(s) (EGDB)? If yes, what flavor (Microsoft SQL server, Oracle, PostgreSQL...).  If yes, how frequent and at what scale are transactions performed and by how many concurrent editors?  If yes, how often are you running DB maintence like analyze, rebuild index, compress?  If yes, how frequently has your RDBMS adminstator scheduled incremental backups and at what scope?  A good indicator of this is the temporal relationship between poor connection performance and the "backend" RDBMS scheduled maintenance tasks. Or, are you talking about a flavor of ArcGIS datastore? ... View more

Yes.  I've seen this many times for many years.  In addition to investigating your service performance in your logs and, if you have it, ArcGIS monitor, you'll have to look at the consumption/visulization side too and the network paths/bottlenecks to the end user.  What is the web browser?  How is the web browser cache configured?  Do you see the same thing in different web browsers?  Suggest starting small and working outward.  Do you have access to the portal host?  Can you open a web browser on that host?  Do you see the problem here? Try to reproduce the error using the GUI "+" and "-" option instead of panning and zooming around.  Quickly panning and zooming around also quickly changes the extent of your query and may increase the number of queries your service has to respond to. What about the service itself?  Is it optimized for web GIS rendering and scalable.  Are there a large number of records in the service? Are scale limits applied to the service? Is the service schema (vector) defined with the "correct" data types?  ... ... View more

Hello, @HarryPlendl 's suggestion is a good one. Q#1: Is your deployment a base deployment on one compute resource?  Q#2: Do you have other components on other compute resources?  If yes to question #2, then you should reconfig your datastore connection to use FQDN instead of localhost.   Also, suggest checking with your organization user authentication tier admin and if a Windows Server, the organization group policy admin.  Depending on the "moving parts" in your IT enterprise, I've seen cases where a change to Windows server firewall settings on a local server hosting the ArcGIS datastore are nullified when the group policy in the domain is updated which is usually a periodic event set by the group policy admin or re-read at server reboot.  If Linux host, check the firewall settings allign with the account designated to run the datastore service.   Running these datastore utilities once you've verified you can connect is sometimes helpful too. 1. describedatastore  2. unregisterdatastore  3. replacesslcertificate (it's a connection problem.  Is your SSL cert chain current?) 4. registerdatastore  ...

Then, with the credential the third party service owner has provided you with, use a portal authenticated account to consume the service and, from this account share to organization.  Please note that this method may not persist as the third party token and/or method of authentication may not allow or the token lifespace may time out.  It's really controlled by the third party what can and cannot be done based upon your brief description. ...
