Can you try hard-coding the values in the script and see if that works?  Also when hard-coding the values, just run the script through IDLE. ... View more

This is my answer to another thread on the same topic. This tool appears to be very buggy. Another thread - http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/973...light=simplify Another thread - http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/102...light=simplify Not sure if this is the exact same issue, but it shows issues with the same tool ...

Are you certain that it's the update to the feature class that is the root cause of the slowness that you are seeing?  I ask because some of my organization's GIS web performance slowed down considerably due to increased demand and we found the router was the bottleneck which is an expensive fix.  Maybe its a coincidence that you are getting heavier load on your servers and that is the real issue (This is just a theory).  Do you have a means of measuring the load on your GIS server(s)? Can you revert back to your previous setup to see if the performance has degraded there so you could rule out the different datasource as the source of the slowness? ... View more

Are there perhaps objects you need to delete from memory as they are staying in memory and therefore leaving locks in place? Can you completely close ArcMap on 1 machine and see if the tool then works on the other machine?  Actually, I would go even further than that and close ArcMap on both machines before trying to run it on either machine as that should flush out any locks due to in memory usage. Where does the data reside, as you never answered that question in your last response? ... View more

Is there any reason why you cannot upgrade SDE at the same time? ... View more

Have you ever thought of an alternate method than ArcReader to provide maps to your endusers?  If you have ArcGIS Server, you probably could configure a FlexViewer application that would no longer require you to install software onto these computers.  FlexViewer has some excellent custom widgets that mimic some of the functionality of ArcMap and ArcReader in terms of searches including related data. ...

How much slower are the cached mapservices using SDE in v10.2 compared to v10.1? Would you be able to use v10.1 SDE to create your cached mapservices for a more direct comparison between SDE at both versions? I don't know if this would matter, but have you tried using the standard Oracle Client instead of the instant Oracle Client and then compare metrics of the cached mapservices. ... View more

The parameter you are changing appears to be a filter.  It seems that you would have to have something in common in the name of the bookmarks you want to use if you only want a subset. If you have bookmarks with names City_LA, City_NY, and State_NM, you could have the filter of City and you would get the first 2 bookmarks.  I think this is how the wildcard parameter works and you cannot use a list like in your example.  If the bookmark names have nothing in common, I believe you are out of luck. ...

Do you have major issues that would require this upgrade?  It seems that there are only minor changes and it would probably make more sense when there are bigger changes (enhancements) with the software. ... View more

I would like to add a dynamic mapservice to the javascript webmap. I tried the following syntax but the mapservice does not show up. var bound = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://arcgis/ArcGIS/rest/services/MapServices/Bound_D/MapServer", {         useMapImage: true       }); Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? ...

Thanks Jake.  I did not realize that you had to zoom that far in for ESRI's river and waterbodies layers to show up. ... View more

Jake: Here is the section you are talking about in my file: //add the legend       map.on("layers-add-result", function (evt) {         var layerInfo = arrayUtils.map(evt.layers, function (layer, index) {           return {layer:layer.layer, title:layer.layer.name};         });         if (layerInfo.length > 0) {           var legendDijit = new Legend({             map: map,             layerInfos: layerInfo           }, "legendDiv");           legendDijit.startup();         }       }); I do not see anywhere in this code where layers are being excluded, yet sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com mapservice layers are not being added to the legend.  I do not understand. ...
