So, every time I try and connect via Data Store with Database, I keep getting an error that the data item is inaccessible.  Did not see this with Test Server. Folders no problem. I seem to remember that I need to add the arcgis account to the database... Yep, just like the old SOC account, in that the arcgis user needs access to the data.  Well this time, I suppose it did not take me a few hours. Different but the same... ... View more

I'm sure their is a flex app for that. Custom perhaps, but out of the box, SL Viewer or Flex Viewer just don't match the capability with Reader. ... View more

Long story short: it matters a whole lot less than you think it does. Thank you Jason. ... View more

Thanks for the clarification, Ted. I think it's annoying that we have yet another path in the ArcGIS environment to consider (I could about six right now.) If any of the sample authors can chime in, this would be good to see here. Some of us can't make it to San Diego, unfortunately, and this is a good venue to discuss it I think. Yes, I follow your logic where I explicit set env.workspace alot, perhaps I could streamline my code more with using better practices (which is why I love this python category on the forums), and os methods may help in that light, but for now just reading code from the samples is very intriguing to me. I'm innocent, Ted! I did not check my own answer, and if I had the power would not do it that lightly. (Note, I don't even see the check icon on my screen, either.) I agree if this power is given to MVPs we should get some guidance. One would be not to check your own answer unless the user has responded that it solved their problem. I tested myself as well and don't see any check boxes, that's good to hear Curtis.  I tweaked my response hopefully to not imply anything.  I hope its clear. ... View more

This wasn't a question necessarily for end users, but more for the creators of the samples in the help perhaps it can be taken offline or a followup at the UC.  Also, the help i am referring to is 10.1. Someone Checked as Answered; I unchecked because the answer was not answered.  I know about os, and I know about arcpy and tools.   1,2,3,4, etc, is really in the context of explicit over implicit for setting multiple wrksp in a script and having a natural flow for the code.  I guess this is an argument on why end users shouldn't give themselves a check box, or why esri shouldn't give end users the rights to give the power users on here the power to give points to themselves when it would be their opinion especially if its from their answers.  Now perhaps their ability to check an answer as answered makes sense when it wasn't them answering the question, perhaps that could be a rule ESRI.  If you give these Forums MVP the rights to check something as answered, it should be ONLY if they did not provide the answer.  To answer a question and then give points to oneself (NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING HERE) to receive points is very subjective, even if the answer provided did not really answer the intent of the question. So, it seems the power has been handed over to some lucky few power users (So Watch Out), I will have to be more diligent now when posting. Well Perhaps Not for all the forums users.... ...

Couple weeks is the release window for 10.1, so wow, lots happening in June, should be a nice cycle.  I assume you guys have a new help system coming on new Resource Center... Look forward to seeing the tutorial you are working on. 🙂 ... View more
