Creating an HTML5 canvas graphic of a text label renders nicely within the browser, but blows up when rendered in a PDF through the PrintTask. I've noticed the wider the graphic in relation to it's height, the larger it renders in the PDF (see attached screenshot). The JSON sent to the GPserver seems legit:                         "symbol": {                             "angle": 0,                             "xoffset": 0,                             "yoffset": 0,                             "type": "esriPMS",                             "imageData": "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",                             "contentType": "image/png",                             "width": 54,                             "height": 15                         } Does the GP Service support graphics of this kind created locally on the system?  This might be a question for the AGS team?

I am working with a clean fresh Windows 2008 R2 server spun up in the cloud (not cloudbuilder now).   The server starts up, etc; but ArcGIS Server does not belong to a site. When I try and add a new site I get the following error: "Failed to create the site. Failed to create the service 'System/CachingTools.GPServer'". I have followed the steps outlined in KB Doc 40465 but I am still getting the same error. Any thoughts? Thanks. Cheers, Blair ... View more

I am noticing that any AMI that CloudBuilder spins up from Oregon 1a is not configured properly.  I have launched both a Medium and a Large Windows AMI using the default setup.  The server starts up, etc; but ArcGIS Server does not belong to a site.  When I try and add a new site I get the following error:  "Failed to create the site. Failed to create the service 'System/CachingTools.GPServer'".  I have followed the steps outlined in KB Doc 40465 but I am still getting the same error.  Can you please confirm that the June AMI for CLoudBuilder is configured properly?  Thanks.

Hello, I have setup my Ubuntu ArcGIS Server 10.1 instance via Cloud Builder.  All went well, but now I am a bit puzzled how to install the Java Web Adaptor.  Here are my questions: 1) Is the Java Web Adaptor for ArcGIS Server installed by default with the Cloud Builder setup?  If yes, where are the files installed? 2) If the Java Web Adaptor for ArcGIS Server is not installed by default, then where can I find documentation on how to install the Java Web Adaptor on a remote server in the cloud.  The Linux server documentation is written for a setup where the user has access to be able to mount a CD/DVD device and written for a sever that has a display.  I have downloaded and unpacked the files but get the following message when I try to install on my EC2 instance: ubuntu@ip-10-248-81-110:~/downloads/esri/arcgis_server/WebAdaptor$ ls Documentation  Install.htm  Setup  WebAdaptor ubuntu@ip-10-248-81-110:~/downloads/esri/arcgis_server/WebAdaptor$ sudo ./Setup [ArcGIS 10.1 Web Adaptor (Java Platform) Setup Warning] Unsupported OS found. ArcGIS 10.1 Web Adaptor (Java Platform) supports Red Hat Enterprise Server 5 and 6, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. Press Enter to continue anyway... read: 65: arg count    WARNING:  This shell's DISPLAY variable has not been set. This setup requires a valid display. Please set the DISPLAY variable to your local UNIX host, or execute this setup from a UNIX host which has the DISPLAY variable set. Thanks! Cheers, Blair ... View more

I am not sure that the new GenerateRenderer will do what I am trying to accomplish.  I would like to change the rendering on specific layers within an existing dynamic map service.  I would like users to be able to change polygon fills, point symbols, turn on/off labelling, etc.  I would like to make changes both using simple renders and thematic renders.  I do realize that I can do this via client side rending with a Feature Service, but I have a number of changes that I would like made dynamically to map layers.  Does the GenerateRender operation support changing the layer symbology beyond a classification (i.e. Unique Classification)?  Specifically can I send a request to the server to turn off the map labels for a specific layer?  If yes, is there sample code out there which shows this? Thanks. Cheers, Blair ... View more

In a SaaS deployment of ArcGIS Server I would like to see ESRI leverage Amazon S3 as a storage platform for Geodatabase Attachments for both ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS.com so that I can easily scale while keeping costs manageable.  Blob storage works well in a typical Enterprise environment but as more companies are moving to Public and Private Cloud deployments cheaper storage alternatives such as Amazon S3 make sense.  Additionally this would be a great feature for Services published to ArcGIS.com which currently does not support attachment functionality. ...
