We also have an Arcgis Server environment which host our&nbsp; Tiled Cached Map Services. I want to know is it normal to have a copy of the databases in order to have view only users use. While editors have there own environment. Granted we would only be having 50 at any given time. We roughly have about 200 users who use our HTML Website?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Nov 2017 21:39:42 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/water-utilities-questions/is-it-normal-to-have-an-editing-database-and-a/m-p/499982#M994 WilliamSteichen 2017-11-28T21:39:42Z Re: Is it normal to have an Editing Database and a View only copy database. https://community.esri.com/t5/water-utilities-questions/is-it-normal-to-have-an-editing-database-and-a/m-p/499983#M995 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you currently using ArcGIS Online for the viewing?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Nov 2017 21:43:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/water-utilities-questions/is-it-normal-to-have-an-editing-database-and-a/m-p/499983#M995 MitchHolley1 2017-11-28T21:43:22Z Re: Is it normal to have an Editing Database and a View only copy database. https://community.esri.com/t5/water-utilities-questions/is-it-normal-to-have-an-editing-database-and-a/m-p/499984#M996 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No we have ArcGIS for Server hosted internally on a server.
