Anyone been successful in connecting ArcGIS Explorer 2500 to an ARcSDE 10.1/10.2 geodatabase (direct connection)? Still have never been successful connecting to our SQL Server, which is pretty frustrating. ... View more

Looking forward to the next release to fix bugs. Any update on when this will be? Thanks, ... View more

Thanks, Only the 64-bit client installs on a 64 bit OS (which is what I have), and besides, I am able to make a direct connection via ArcMap with this client, but not with Explorer. Nick ... View more

Thanks, However, this doesn't work, and neither does the information on using a direct connection to SQL Server, which is a link from this page, included in my previous post. Nick ... View more

I have the same issue - the application crashes intermittently during development. Another issue includes losing the reference to images when customising tasks. Its a pretty unstable application, but worth putting up with given how much time it save building applications. ... View more

I am unable to connect to ArcSDE using 2500. I am trying to connect to an SQL server following the instructions: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002q00000039000000 My SQL Server instance is called myServer, the port number is 1234 (they are not actual values), so I type myServer into the Server text box, sde:sqlserver:myServer,1234 into the Service text box, and the database name in the database name field. I am using OS authentication. This doesnt work. i have tried various permutations for the connection details, but no luck. Any suggestions? ... View more

Hi, I am getting the same error, although, I haven't secured any services, apart from the default AD security restrictions. I get this variation of the message; Error while using HTTPS security, URL = our-url/MapServer?f=json, HTTP Status code = 0 and Status Text = We have SSL security in place, and everything else works well. However, in my case, the print service is implemented in the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight. Thanks, Nick ... View more

Hi all, I have managed to find the solution. If anyone is having issues accessing SOAP services from ArcGIS clients when connecting to a reverse proxy server using SSL, try explicitly entering the port number 443 in the URL you are connecting to. If this still doesnt work, there are other things you can try - happy to provide more details. Nick ... View more

Thanks for your interest in this problem. I suspect that there is an issue with python memory management. Here is the code with some comments: import string, os, sys, locale, arcpy, pyodbc, random try:     arcgis_con = pyodbc.connect('Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=xxx,xxx;Database=xxx;Trusted_Connection=yes;')     arcgis_cur = arcgis_con.cursor()     Area_of_Interest = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #user defined polygon     outputFC = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) #output     year = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) #year     inDesc = arcpy.Describe(Area_of_Interest)     inRows = arcpy.SearchCursor(Area_of_Interest)     inRow = inRows.next()     outLine = ""     while inRow: #creates a string defining coordinates of polygon         partnum=0         feat = inRow.getValue(inDesc.ShapeFieldName) ##when run the second time, degugging reveals script fails here trying to reference inDesc.ShapeFieldName         while partnum < 1:             part = feat.getPart(partnum)             part.reset()             pnt = part.next()             pnt_count = 0             while pnt:                 if pnt_count==0:                     outLine = str(pnt.X) + " " + str(pnt.Y)                                     else:                     outLine = str(pnt.X) + " " + str(pnt.Y) + " , " + outLine                 pnt = part.next()                 pnt_count += 1                 if not pnt:                     pnt = part.next()                                partnum += 1         inRow = inRows.next()             randomTab = "dbo." + ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase) for x in range(10)) #table with random name to be inserted into DBMS for query     querystring = "CREATE TABLE " + randomTab +  " (id int IDENTITY (1,1), GeogCol1 geography);" #creates a sql server table with a geography column based on polygon coordinates     arcgis_cur.execute(querystring)     querystring = "INSERT INTO " + randomTab + " (GeogCol1) VALUES (geography::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((" + outLine + "))', 4283));"     arcgis_cur.execute(querystring)     querystring = ##sql query which is complex##     arcgis_cur.execute(querystring)     arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(Area_of_Interest, outputFC)     total = 0     while 1:         row = arcgis_cur.fetchone()         if not row:             break         age_var = row.age         age_var = age_var.replace("-","_")         age_var = age_var.replace(" ","")         age_var = age_var.replace("+","plus")         var = row.Sex[0] + "_" + age_var         arcpy.AddField_management(outputFC, var, "DOUBLE",10,3,"","","NULLABLE")         arcpy.CalculateField_management(outputFC, var, row.population, "PYTHON_9.3")         total = total + row.population     arcpy.AddField_management(outputFC, "Total", "DOUBLE",10,1,"","","NULLABLE")     arcpy.CalculateField_management(outputFC, "Total", total, "PYTHON_9.3")     querystring = "DROP TABLE " + randomTab + ";"     arcgis_cur.execute(querystring)     arcgis_con.commit()     arcgis_con.close() except Exception, ErrorDesc: The script uses a polygon defined by the user, extracts the coordinates, and inserts in SQL Server so as to carry a spatial join with spatially enabled data there. It then creates a table and polygon for the user. The script runs fine multiple times in desktop. I thought I narrowed down the issue to the line 'feat = inRow.getValue(inDesc.ShapeFieldName)', however, hardcoding a value here just makes the script run successfully one extra time, before failing again somewhere else in the program (haven't search where this time) when run again with the same memory access issue. Good luck and appreciate any help. Nick ... View more

I have also found that some functionality, such as the ability to change symbology on query layers is now gone. I would have much prefered that ArcGIS Map Services (or feature services) have the capability of displaying attribute tables, changing symbology and be capable of spatial queries. I am not sure why the developers are restricting this functionality. If it is possible with the Silverlight and Flex viewers, it should be possible with a standalone desktop. Unfortunately for our business needs i.e. interacting with our map and feature services, this version is not very useful. And our data is much too sensitive (and large) to put on ArcGIS online.

Thanks, I am those that couldn't wait, and my impressions are good. If I am jumping the gun, and theres more information when the documentation is up, forgive me, but just a couple of things: We now publish query layers on an enterprise database (SQL Server, not geodatabase) as map services, and I find that when I query the layer in ArcGIS Explorer, and click the 'Get sample values', only one is returned, and when you test a query, and click OK, only one point is added to the layer, despite multiple features being found, and the attribute table showing all these records. This behaviour does not occur with geodatabases. This will unfortunately mean we have to rely on Web API's for users to properly consume such web services. I am not sure how to connect to a 10.1 geodatabase as the dialog window is for the old 10.0 and previous versions. Thanks for improving the geocoding service for Australia. Much appreciated. What would be nice if you could see the attribute table for MapServices, as well as being able to change the symbology. Otherwise, it is a great improvement, and so far seems stable.

Yes, I have the same issue. Installed VS 2012, all the necessary dependencies, and no ESRI Templates. I did find however that if I go to Control Panel-Uninstall a program, and Modify ArcGIS API 3.1 for Silverlight, that the project Templates did not install. After installing these, the ESRI templates appear, but not the ESRI Viewer template. I am installing on Windows 7 64 bit. Nick ... View more
