Yohan, You could use a combobox instead of a text box and have your scales hard coded, or read in from from the widget xml file. Fire the map.scale on change of the combobox value Regards Anthony ... View more

Aaron, Are you loading the splash page as a widget or are you using the <splashpage> Tag, Can you post up your xml file Regards Anthony ... View more

The viewer will handle coordinates in the URL that are not in the same spatial reference as the application, you just need to specify the wkid in the URL, eg: http://www.example.com/flexviewer/index.html?center=103.87,1.31,4326&level=8 This URL tells the application that the coordinates are in wkid 4326 for geographic / decimal degrees. To put a point at the location would require you to some custom coding, there is nothing out of the box to do this. Regards Anthony ... View more

John, I can see by your screenshot from flash builder you have errors in your project (denoted by the red crosses). Are you sure your API version matches the viewer version being used? (i.e. 3.4 Api with 3.4 of the viewer). Flash builder will not compile with errors present. Regards Anthony ... View more

Jamal, I would guess that accessing the compact cache may be slightly slower as it is essentially acting like a zip file and the server has to get to the file inside, but the speed this is done at does not have any noticeable effect from my experience. You are correct on the size this is due to the minimum cluster size on a disk (4kb), even if the file is smaller (<4kb) it will still use that minimum size on the disk, so clustering many files together will negate this problem Regards Anthony ...

Anthony, The help states this: 'Features from ArcGIS Server feature service layer or hosted feature service layer are editable by anybody viewing the map' http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#/Editing_feature_service_layers/010q0000004r000000/ So I guess you are not missing anything. In your public map can you not add the layer in as a map service instead of a feature layer, this will then not allow edits: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#//02r3000000w2000000 Regards Anthony ...

Jamal, From my experience there is no noticeable difference between the two. What is better when using compact caches is copying caches from one server to another, i.e. From your development system to your production system. As the cache is in bundles it is a lot quicker to copy than millions of small individual files. Regards Anthony ... View more

John, If you copy the ags folder from src/com/esri in the API download to src/com/esri in your viewer code this should work. Regards Anthony ... View more

There is this site that has sample questions on it, not sure how genuine they are but it cannot do any harm: http://esricertification.com Regards Anthony ... View more

Joe, The answer is yes, we currently have a set up that has 2 web adapters (arcgis_external,arcgis_secure) the external allows anonomous access where the secure uses active directory accounts with digest. We have to make duplicate services for those layers that we want to be secure (normally the layers that we want to provide feature access (editing) to). This is so we can secure one and not the other. Regards Anthony ... View more

Right, I think I understand the problem now, as you have not created the output yet you cannot get the table to populate with the fieldnames. Have you tried running the strip map tool on its own to get the output needed, then use this file as the input to the make feature layer so you have the fields available. In model builder leave the two tools as separate instances and put a pre condition on the make feature layer, so it doesn't run until the strip map has finished. Regards Anthony ... View more

Jamari, What is the reason why you cannot take the output of your strip map index features and use it as the input for your make feature layer? If you are adding both tools into model builder, delete the input for the make feature layer tool and use the connector tool to connect the output from your strip map index to the make feature layer.

From what I was told at the Esri European Dev Summit is that you will get 1 named user per desktop licence that you have, you then pay for extra on top. Anonymous users can view items on your portal site without having to log in but they will not be able to mash up their own maps and save them. The first version of portal at 10.2 has not enforced the amount of users allowed, I think that is at the 10.2.1 release so if you are quick you can have as many users as you want. Regards Anthony ...
