Why don't you apply a scale dependency to the data so only a small amount of contours would need to be accessible at any given time? You could create major contours (e.g.10 or 20 ft intervals) and show these at smaller scales and only show the 1ft contours at the largest scales. ... View more

Do you still have a machine with v10.1 on it?  Try to use the same file geodatabases on that machine to see if they still work.  Maybe there could be some corruption. ... View more

Kimberly: You can create a feature service from data other than SDE at v10.2?  Can you show me a link to this documentation so I can read up on this topic. ... View more

I had a similar situation.  The solution for me was to enable internet connectivity for the server thru my organization's proxy server.  This was done through the Control Panel->Internet Properties->LAN Settings-> checking Use automatic configuration script and selecting the appropriate script from your proxy server IT expert. ...

How does that setup lower costs, can you please explain? ... View more

I would recommend having only one set of folders (server dir and config-store) on a dedicated fault-tolerant file server with UNC paths so that both GIS servers can connect to them.  You would just register the data store.  This would prevent any sync issues where the data was updated on 1 server but not the other.  My organization has implemented this approach and it works well.  You will get a medium level warning for using UNC paths, but I would just ignore this warning when you are analyzing your mapservices during the publishing process. ...

Benjamin: You need to be careful with the 64 bit version of python (ArcGISx6410.1\python.exe) as it does not work on personal geodatabases (not supported in a 64 bit environment).  Maybe this does not apply, but this could explain issues if you are using a personal geodatabase. ... View more

Jake: My reprojection additionally needed a transformation, unlike the original poster, which is accounted for with my original much longer nomenclature? ... View more

Jake: In a script I have had for awhile I would have the following projection information to convert to UTM PA South outCS = arcpy.SpatialReference("PROJCS['WGS_1984_Web_Mercator',GEOGCS['GCS_WGS_1984_Major_Auxiliary_Sphere',DATUM['D_WGS_1984_Major_Auxiliary_Sphere',SPHEROID['WGS_1984_Major_Auxiliary_Sphere',6378137.0,0.0]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION['Mercator'],PARAMETER['False_Easting',0.0],PARAMETER['False_Northing',0.0],PARAMETER['Central_Meridian',0.0],PARAMETER['Standard_Parallel_1',0.0],UNIT['Meter',1.0]]", "NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1;WGS_1984_Major_Auxiliary_Sphere_To_WGS_1984", "PROJCS['NAD_1983_StatePlane_Pennsylvania_South_FIPS_3702_Feet',GEOGCS['GCS_North_American_1983',DATUM['D_North_American_1983',SPHEROID['GRS_1980',6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION['Lambert_Conformal_Conic'],PARAMETER['False_Easting',1968500.0],PARAMETER['False_Northing',0.0],PARAMETER['Central_Meridian',-77.75],PARAMETER['Standard_Parallel_1',39.93333333333333],PARAMETER['Standard_Parallel_2',40.96666666666667],PARAMETER['Latitude_Of_Origin',39.33333333333334],UNIT['Foot_US',0.3048006096012192]]") Is there simpler nomenclature in the below form that could have been instead to do this reprojection? outCS = arcpy.SpatialReference('WGS 1984 UTM Zone 32N') If so, what would my SpatialReference nomenclature be for UTM PA South? ...

Vince: Is ESRI by any chance starting to migrate away from SDELOB geometry storage where only ST_GEOMETRY will be supported some time in the future? ... View more

Can you try adding some print statements into your code to make sure the variables are being properly populated?  Then please include output in a reply. ... View more

One caveat to the DeleteManagement method would be if the feature class is being used as a datasource for ArcGIS Server which would put locks on the feature class. If that is the case I would use a DeleteRows and Append to accomplish the same goal. ... View more

Although someone did say that this task should be possible in v10.1, I would recommend going from v10.0 to v10.2 so you have less upgrades to perform.  My organization should be finished with this specific upgrade in a few weeks, but I did hear that sp1 for v10.2 should be out by the end of the year which should address some of the bugs that currently exist in v10.2.  From my experience, v10.2 is a glorified service pack to v10.1. ...

Has anyone experienced slowness of AGS services outside the firewall compared to the same AGS services running fast inside the firewall?  If anyone has experienced this phenomenon, what could be causing this type of issue? ... View more

Thanks Asrujit: Now that I see your response, I remember encountering this issue with a GIS Add-In where a developer had the same error message when upgrading his Add-In at v10.2.  This SQL Server Native Client install was part of the default installation back in v10.0, but is now separate.  This developer had a brand new machine that never had ArcGIS Desktop v10.0 installed on it, so when ArcGIS Desktop v10.2 was installed his Add-In was looking for software that had not yet been installed.  I downloaded this install package from the ESRI Customer Care site under DBMS Support Files for ArcGIS 10.2->Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client. ...
