A continuation of - Manage Map Cache Tile: Errors at 10.2.2 Since we are moving to 10.3, I thought I'd re-post the discussion to keep it current with the 10.3 release.  Unfortunately, at this time the error on bundle move is still occurring when the cache service is in use or under load.  Although the 10.3 release is thus far proving to be more efficient and responsive this error still occurs.  Overwriting cache services has stabilized however with the re-inclusion of the 'Keep Existing Cache' parameter at overwrite, and overall communication between the desktop and the server directories is much improved, at least on our network. In general, (because I can allow my basemaps to be offline for a couple hours each week or each month) I have adopted a modified strategy where I stop the service, set the service to private (Admin role access), start the service, and begin caching - all via python scripts run through task scheduler. I think I prefer this to my previous method of storing both a private service and cache and a public service and cache, then caching to private, stopping the site, and overwriting the bundles via an OS xcopy. Hopefully esri will keep trying to solve this issue! David ... View more

Word to the wise- To manage the statistics at 10.3, see the following help section 'Configure server statistics' at: Working with server statistics—Documentation | ArcGIS for Server There is a new usagereports resource accessed from the server admin directory that allows you to specify the compile period for statistics and file age.  The defaults are 30 min and forever, respectively. Unless you have unlimited space, I would change 'forever' to a more reasonable time period... Thanks David David Coley Sarasota County GIS ... View more

Hi all- Does anyone have a workaround for creating a mobile cache in the python 32-bit idle at 10.3 (i.e. at 2.7.8)?  After updating to 10.3, the idle can no longer find the _mobile module installed with ArcGIS for Windows Mobile at 10.2, although the desktop tool Create Mobile Cache in 10.3 does run, suggesting that a registry key was deleted/modified? at install.  Code below (running at info lic level) returns 'module not found for line 12': # Import system modules import sys, string, os, arcpy, time, smtplib from arcpy import env # Local variables... message = "" current_time = time.asctime() try:     mapDoc = r"\\servername\arcgisserver\data-store\MobileMaps\ARM360_QueryMap.mxd"     outFolder = r"\\machinename\MobileCacheTests\Arm360\Query Data Cache"     print mapDoc     print outFolder     arcpy.CreateMobileCache_mobile(mapDoc,outFolder,"","NO_ATTACHMENTS","")     except Exception, e:     # If an error occurred, print line number and error message     import traceback, sys     tb = sys.exc_info()[2]     message = message + "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno     message = message + e.message # Below is to send email message. fromAddr = "" #fromAddr = "" toAddr = ["",""] subject = "SCRIPT: Arm360QueryCache" finish_time = time.asctime() msgBody = current_time + "\n\n" + message + "\n" + "Thank you." + "\n\n" + finish_time msg = string.join(("From: %s" %fromAddr, "To: %s" %toAddr, "Subject: %s" %subject, "", msgBody),"\r\n") server = smtplib.SMTP("10.140.65.27") server.set_debuglevel(1) server.sendmail(fromAddr,toAddr,msg) server.quit() Any ideas are appreciated...
