Robert: Can you at least tell me the location of where you put this file for the Apache Reverse Proxy software, so I can try to modify the location for the ForeFront Reverse Proxy software? Do you have your ArcGIS Server software on a Windows 2008 Server?  If so, did you need to modify any application pool settings to get the mapservices to work properly through the Reverse Proxy server? ...

Robert: Where do you place it on the Reverse Proxy server? Would I put it in a different location if I am using ISA or ForeFront? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. ... View more

I have the crossdomain.xml file on my v9.3.1 ArcGIS Server server at c:\inetpub\wwwroot.  The Reverse Proxy server allows this file through in the services rule.  The webpage allows the mapservices to be drawn even though a get a 502 error when Fiddler reads in the crossdomain.xml file with the internal server name instead of the external server name (The Reverse Proxy expert says that this error should prevent the mapservice from showing up, but it does any way). I have the crossdomain.xml file on my v10.0 ArcGIS Server server at c:\inetpub\wwwroot.  The Reverse Proxy server allows this file through in the services rule.  The webpage does not allow the mapservices to be drawn even as I a get a 502 error when Fiddler reads in the crossdomain.xml file with the internal server name instead of the external server name (This is the behavior that the Reverse Proxy expert would expect to see). Any idea why the FlexViewer application works in v9.3.1 and not in v10.0? Am I passing the crossdomain.xml through the correct rule on the Reverse Proxy server? ... View more

Robert: These are these lines of text from Fiddler that show crossdomain.xml.  Would you understand where this crossdomain is originating from as I do not understand? # Result Protocol Host URL Body Caching Content-Type Process Comments Custom 6 304 HTTP fpdownload.adobe.com /pub/swz/crossdomain.xml 0  text/x-cross-domain-policy iexplore:1356 # Result Protocol Host URL Body Caching Content-Type Process Comments Custom 6 304 HTTP fpdownload.adobe.com /pub/swz/crossdomain.xml 0  text/x-cross-domain-policy iexplore:1356 ...

I searched the entire c-drive of my new v10 ArcGIS Server (AGS) server and I could not find a crossdomain.xml file, but I am still able to see the mapservices when accessing the web app remotely away from the AGS server.  How is this possible? If I remove the crossdomain.xml file from my old v9.3.1 AGS server, I can not see the mapservices when accessing the web app remotely. So I ask again, is the crossdomain.xml file still needed in the v10 environment? ... View more

What operating system are you running the script from (Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server, other)? You might want to try calling the python script from a bat file. You might need to specify the full path to the python exe and the python script if you are not using an environmental variable to specify the location of the python exe. ... View more

I would look to use python for the iteration.  You can create the basic one time model and then export the model to a python script. You can then call the python script from a scheduled task or you can call a bat file that calls a python script from a scheduled task.  The bat file is especially useful if you want to run more than one python script in a sequence. ...

You might want to see if you could get ArcGIS v10.0.  This capability is nicely built into python scripting with examples and plenty of posts on this subject.  If you had 1 ArcGIS v10.0, you could always Save the mxds back to 9.3.1 after fixing the broken links. ... View more

Can you post the bat file that your co-worker tried to run? ... View more

You might also want to create an Environmental Variable called PYTHONPATH that points to the directory where you python.exe file is located.  Unless I added this Environmental Variable on my Windows Server 2008, I had to include the full path to the .py file and not just the name of the .py file itself. I also always call my .py files from a bat file. ... View more

I have a few simple suggestions to start with. 1.) Under the General tab, make sure you check Run with highest privileges 2.) Under the Actions tab, make sure you put the path to the python script (or bat file that calls the python script) in the Start in box. I hope this will solve your problem. ... View more

To try to minimize problems like this in the future, you should try to make standardized naming conventions for SDE connections in ArcCatalog.  In this way you would not need to find out what each user named their similar SDE connections. ... View more

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe circular arcs are Bezier curves.  You can use the arcpy.Densify_edit method in python to remove these curves. Here is the ESRI documentation for this method: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001v00000003000000.htm I hope this is what you are looking for. ... View more

Layer.replaceDataSource is the method you are looking for.  I believe this script would be more complex as you will need to map the old datasource to the new datasource.  I have done this by calling a def function where it looks for a specific input layer name and that is mapped to the new layer name with its new parameters.  In your case this def could get pretty big as you say you have 200 shapefiles in your mxd(s) that need to be linked to new SDE layers. The reference from thales007 has the link to this documentation. ... View more
