We just experienced that as well.  In our situation for one of the gadgets we were using data that was linked to https://server:6433/xxxxxxxx.  The url would throw an invalid certificate error when accessed directly in the browser, but you don't see that in the widget.  Two scenarios fixed it.  Once we changed the service to be the http port 6080 and the guage then worked, then we fixed our url to be fully qualified (that matched the certificate on the arcgis server (https://server.domain.com:6443/xxxxxxx) In any case that was our issue.

I would say that in the grand scheme of things you do not have a lot of datasets.  We have split ours into two geodatabases.  One for editable data and one for non changing data.  In the first database all of our lidar and orthos and data received via third party that we will never be edited goes in one.  Everything else in another.  For us it has allowed us to change our backup routines and saved a lot of tape and SAN storage and more importantly reduced the amount of time it was taking to back up the data. In addition we have published all of the layers as services and for the most part we have found a number users have started consuming the services rather than the dataset itself.  The real power users that need actual access to the SDE know where the information/layers are that they want! ...

Sorry Robert, I misunderstood.  I added the code and I get the same result (lack of a marker).  I put a try and catch around try {     graphicsLayer.add(myGraphicMarker); } catch {     Alert.show(error.toString()); } I get  TypeError: Error #1009 ... View more

I had that very line in as part of my testing, I even hard coded a X and Y value and could not get it to shop up. There is something simple I am missing, but have been banging my head for a while now on this on. Thanks, Mike Code: var myGraphicMarker:Graphic = new Graphic(new MapPoint(featureSet.features[0].geometry),        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Written by Micheal W.

Hi Robert, this is great thank you.  I am assuming that the 0 in featureSet.features[0].geometry is the position in the array? Thanks, Mike ... View more

Hi Mike, I don't use KML in any of my services, but it looks like you are running into the issue described here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00sq000000r9000000 It appears that ArcGIS doesn't support halos (backgrounds) for KML layers. Unless someone has found a workaround you might be stuck using a standard label with the KML. You could always convert the KML to a feature class before publishing and your labels will come through just fine. Matt Unfortunately my labels are dynamic and generated by our vehicle tracking data.  We change label and add a time stamp if a vehicle has not reported in for a particular duration or if other events occur. ...

Great Tool, thanks for sharing it.  I am trying to select a point in  my layer.  The url parameter passes fine and the result window pops up and points to the identified result.  Is there a way to change the symbology or highlight the selected feature without the need of showing the results window.  Sorry if this is already in one of the posts.  I have searched for this but have not found it. Thanks, Mike ... View more

There's at least a dozen ways to accomplish this, but it's not completely clear what you want as the end product.  Data does not ever reside "in" ArcSDE -- ArcSDE is a protocol used by ArcGIS to access data in databases.  There are several different possible geometry storage methods, which include native database types like Geometry and Geography, as well as the traditional SDEBINARY ("three table") storage option. So is it the database or the storage format you're looking to change in this migration process? (It makes a large difference on how you would go about moving the data.) Are you looking for unattended conversion processes? Do the two machines share a single security domain? Do you need to do further processing to manage the data accessed through ArcSDE? How many edits occur in the data to be moved (expressed as a fraction of the total table)? Would moving only the inserts, updates, and deletes be attractive in terms of availability, or is it okay if the application is disabled during the maintence window? - V I would see the end result being in the traditional SDEBINARY format.  Unattended is the goal of this. Same domain. No editing of the copied data will ever occur. It is Ok for the data to go offline for a short period of time.  Since I will not know exactly what changed in the original data a complete replacement is likely easiest. Thanks, Mike ... View more

To keep things easy we exported all the x,y from the geodatabase and added two columns to the sql table and populated them.  Once we had all the data we needed in SQL.  I ran the following sql commands: ALTER TABLE Facility ADD SHAPE Geometry CREATE SPATIAL INDEX Spatial_Index ON Facility(Shape) USING GEOMETRY_GRID  WITH ( BOUNDING_BOX = ( 0, 0,1000000 , 1000000 )) UPDATE Facility SET shape = geometry::STPointFromText('POINT(' + convert(varchar,x_coord) + ' ' + convert(varchar, y_coord) + ')', 2954)  SELECT shape.STX as X_coord, shape.STY as Y_Coord, shape.STSrid as SRID from facility Hope this helps, Mike ...

The challenge with the del row, rows is that it is outside the loop and the layer is locked at that point.  I ended up creating a Line number array first, the performing the del row, rows and referencing the array during the loop. rows = arcpy.SearchCursor("Points") # Get a list of all the line numbers that we need to have transformers moved back onto the line x=0 LineIDList = [] for row in rows:     if row.getValue("line_id") not in LineIDList:        x=x+1        LineIDList.append(row.getValue("line_id")) print str(x) + " Lines to have points that have been moved"     try:    del row except:    print arcpy.GetMessages(2) try:    del rows except:    print arcpy.GetMessages(2) #now actually move those points for count in range(0,x):     for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):         lyrname = lyr.name         #for what ever reason, you can not use an = in the next statement         if lyr.name in ["AllLines"]:            #print "LINENUMBER = '" + LineIDList[count] + "'"            lyr.definitionQuery = "LINENUMBER = '" + LineIDList[count] + "'"         if lyr.name in ["Points"]:            lyr.definitionQuery = "line_id =  '" + LineIDList[count] + "'"     try:         snapEnv = ["AllLines", "EDGE", "2 Meters"]         arcpy.Snap_edit("Points", [snapEnv])         #print "Got Snapped"     except: print arcpy.GetMessages(2) ...
