11.5 - webgisdr - replication of objectStore broken - still pointing to original machine

[NicolasGIS]

Hello,

I am testing the replication of an Enterprise 11.5 deployment on Windows Server 2022 with 3 datastores (tileCache, relational, and objectStore).

I set up a standby environment on a different set of VMs and restore a webgisdr backup. At first sight, everything is in order and all the components are properly restored and connected one another.

But when having a closer a look at the objectStore, I realized that is now pointing to the original objectStore.

You can notice it:

- from the ArcGIS Server manager when validating the objectStore: the _proxyUrl parameter is:

https://myoriginaldatastoreVM.company.com:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/MYORIGINGALDATASTOREVM...  

- from the ArcGIS Server admin interface when checking the machines of the cloud store "objectStore":

https://myags.company.com:6443/arcgis/admin/data/items/cloudStores/AGSDataStore_objectstore_oz_aev7q... 

it is the name of the original datastore VM which is written (ie: "myoriginaldatastore").

Also, if you now check the replicatedDataStore VM, and browse:

https://localhost:2443/arcgis/datastore/

You will see that it is no longer "attached" on the replicated deployment.

I am confused: is it a BUG or a feature ? Did I miss anything @JonathanQuinn maybe ?

Thanks,

Apparently it will be fixed in 12.1: BUG-000180128 for ArcGIS Data Store

Let's hope so

This one seems to be solved through the new released patch: https://support.esri.com/en-us/patches-updates/2026/arcgis-server-security-2026-update-1-patch

Can you confirm that  the patch solves it indeed?

(I'm still on 11.5,  but curious whether the patch solves it in 12.0)

Best regards

Philippe

@PhilippeVDV I had the opportunity to test this part of the patch prior public release and it worked as intended. I´d highly recommend installing all security patches anyway 🙂

[PhilippeVDV]

OK, thanks for the confirmation @SimonSchütte_ct . The patch notes are bit confusing according to me: ArcGIS Server Security 2026 Update 1 Patch

"BUG-000180128 - After disaster recovery with the WebGISDR restore in a new passive standby environment, the ArcGIS Data Store object store host name is still pointing to the old object store host name in both ArcGIS Data Store (describedatastore) and ArcGIS Server data stores. (12.0 only)"

This made me think that only the patch for 12.0 solves it in AGE 12.0. But I understand from your observations that the 11.5 patch solves it in 11.5 as well?

[SimonSchütte_ct]

Yes, this is confusing and contradicts what is written below the bug details. I am not sure what to make of this.

Hi @PhilippeVDV and @SimonSchütte_ct,

I deployed the patch on 11.5 environment and I confirm it does fix the bug 🙂 !
