Thanks Chris.  I did not realize you could use the Program/script parameter to call the python executable file and the Add arguments parameter to call the specific python script.  I will see how this setup works for simple scripts where I just need to make a call to a single python script. ...

Nathan: Here is a portion of a bat file that I call from a scheduled task that calls a python sxcript. @echo off echo Start time: %time% > Address_Research_Data_Update.log echo ------------  Update time: %time% echo ------------  Geocoding Parcel_Publish with Address_Data  ------------- echo ------------  Geocoding Parcel_Publish with Address_Data  ------------- >> Address_Research_Data_Update.log c:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.1\python.exe Geocode_Address_Data.py >> Address_Research_Data_Update.log This calls the 64 bit python version I could change the last line to c:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\python.exe Geocode_Address_Data.py >> Address_Research_Data_Update.log and I would be using the 32 bit python version which would support the odc connections. ...

"I am encountering locking issues with a Mosaic Dataset stored within a file gdb. With ArcGIS Server 10.0, I am attempting to start an image service for the mosaic dataset. The image service parameters are set to Pooled with min 50 and max 75 instances with Low Isolation and 25 instances per process, thus resulting in initially 2 and a max of 3 SOC.exe processes being created." Why do you have such high min and max number of instances? Also, why do you have the instances running in low isolation? ... View more

Curtis: What if I am running the python script from a Windows Server 2008 Scheduled Task?  I do not believe I have the option of running the script in the background, as by default, the script runs in the foreground.  As such, I thought geoprocessing at v10.1 can be run in the 64 bit environment, but if I cannot force the script to run in the background it will still run in the 32 bit environment. So even though I have access to a 64 bit environment, I cannot make use of this environment with a scheduled task because it can only run in the foreground. Am I correct with this assessment? ...

I have not tested .odc connections in ArcGIS v10.1, but these connections are not available by default in ArcCatalog like they were in v10.0.  You made need to enable an additional toolbox or extension for the .odc connections to work. Can you try manually connecting to the same datasource in ArcCatalog? ... View more

I believe you will need to go to the explicit path of your odc connection. dbo_cosSewerManholes = "Database Connections\\Han8Live.odc\\dbo.cosSewerManholes" example - dbo_cosSewerManholes = "c:\\Users\\"some_name"\\AppData\\Roaming\\ESRI\\Desktop10.1\\ArcCatalog\\Han8Live.odc\\dbo.cosSewerManholes" You would need to investigate the path for your exact system.  This is what I needed to change in my python scripts just for sde connections where in 10.0 I was able to use Database Connections at the start of my connection string. ...

Robert: Could it be that this is a secured service, as it requires AGOL for Organization credentials, and both the OOTB and your modified Route Widgets do not support the use of a secured service as the widgets are currently coded? ... View more

Are you able to acquire a more current version of ArcGIS? It would probably be better to upgrade, if this is a possibility, then to install ArcGIS 9.3.  I'm not sure if ArcGIS 9.3 will work in Windows 7 as my organization only installed ArcGIS 10.0 on Windows 7 machines. ... View more

Can you please provide a clearer picture of your environment? Are you registering a SQL Server, Oracle or other type of database? Do you have ArcGIS Desktop on the same machine as ArcGIS Server (AGS)?  ArcGIS Desktop is still 32 bit at v10.1 and AGS is 64 bit at 10.1. ... View more

Have you tried to rebuild your locator with a scheduled task?  This is where I am having the issue.  I can rebuild my locators in ArcCatalog as well as in a standalone python script, but the address locator gets corrupted every time I try to rebuild it when called as a Windows Server 2008 R2 scheduled task whether called directly from python or from a bat file that calls the python script. ...
