incident map

BrianLomas — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 17:43:10 GMT

I'm trying to configure the public safety incident map scripts (provided by ESRI download in the "Incident Mapping.thx") to work with our data. I'm trying to publish the information to a existing features service via the "Import and Publish Incidents" script but I need to create the correct config file first. My biggest questions is, what is the "AGS server connection"? It's looking for a file but I'm not sure what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Brian,

I believe this is the connection to ArcGIS Server - if it's looking for a file, maybe this will help:

So, is this a file I need to create or is there one I can just point to?

I fired-up our server box and see in ArcCatalog, under "GIS Servers" a connection to "arcgis on FOOBAR001_6443 (admin)" - that should be the connection file.

• Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\ESRI\Desktop10.x\ArcCatalog

• Windows Server: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\ArcCatalog

• Windows 7: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.x\ArcCatalog

This is where it should live. On my end, I see "arcgis on FOOBAR001_6443 (admin).ags" in the directory.

Brian,

Did this work out for you?

I think this will solve the issue but I haven't been able to try. It turns out I did not have the "GIS Server" connection that I needed in the first place. Thanks for the help.
