Jake has the correct answer, my apologies.  ... View more

Jamal- The short answer is you can't. But you can make the data appear to come from one service if you call the layers in as FeatureLayers in say a JavaScript API client, and then render the buildings identiacally in the applicaiton. David ... View more

Marco- You just need 1 licence of ArcServer Basic, Standard, or Advanced.  ... View more

Agreed.  I completely had to make sure that I had no left over .glock files in my config or missing bundlex files in my directories (at all cache levels).  I did that by tearing down and recreating both the public production and secured private services and caches.  Not insignificant as I have both local (for Mobile, ArcPad), and web mercator basemaps and street framework caches.  Same as you I'm sure. Then I could use the remdir and xcopy method.... ... View more

Yes, once you apply the patch to desktop, you then update all of your SDE instances.  We have like 15 one-way rep pairs going from 5 edit parent sde instances to our 1 production child sde instance . . . no problems.... ... View more

Hi Bob- what your doing will definently work.  I'm taking a slightly diffrerent approach that may be less intensive step-wise but requires duplicate services and a bit more drive space so it may not work for everyone: 1. I created duplicate services and caches on my production server, and secured them. 2. Run my recreate all tiles python scripts on the secured servcies. Becasue these protected services are not under load, recreating all tiles does not fail. At least it hasn't yet 3. I then use windows commands in a bat to remove the prodcution cache directories, and xcopy the protected bundles over. That's it.  In this way, I don't have to worry about locking or exporting caches or restarting services, and everything can still run by the task scheduler.  But again whatever works for your environment, setup, security and all of the contstraints we all face . . . ...

Hello- If you apply the: ArcGIS 10.2.2 for (Desktop, Engine, Server) Geodatabase and Feature Service Sync Optimization Patch published on 10-06-2014 to your desktop and Server, you then will be required to updgrade your sde instances via the desktop. Upon upgrade, the Upgrade Status for Database Properties in your ArcCatalog SDE connections will read: 'This 10.2.2 Patch 2290200 geodatabase matches the ArcGIS release you are currently using.' We are also a SQL2008 R2 shop and have encountered no issues with this patch.  Performance seems a little better, syncs seem more stable. ... View more

I apologize Jamal, but I don't think I am of much help.  All I can say is that no one can extract or edit data from my public map services unless I specifically allow it as I outlined above.  David ... View more

This looks promising, thanks Jake. ... View more

Of course automatically, my apologies. ... View more

Sure, but that must be particular to the geocotex app?  According to the help documentation, Data, Map and Query operations do not mean that, by default, users can edit or extract data from a Map Service.  By default, in order for a user to edit data a feature service must be published with the map service where edits are performed through the feature service in one of the APIs.  To download data in ArcMap, you must publish a GeoData Service with the same name as it's supporting map service.  To download data in one of the APIs, you must publish the DataExtract gp tool. The only other way (thtat I know of) to perform edits or extracts is through proprietary 3rd party applicaitons like Maximo Spatial. ... View more

Yes Jamal, if you publish a geodata service with the same name as the map service then the layers in the map service can be extracted in ArcMap using the Extract Data tool.  If you want to extract data using a web applicaiton, then you must use the ClipAndShip tool, published from the map service you wish to extract data from, which it looks like you already have.  If you can, what I would do is publish a map, a geodata and the clip and ship geoprocessing service(s) from a FDBG that contains all the layers you would like others to extract.  In this way, all of your users can visualize and extract data from one source ...

Thanks for all the replies everyone..  I've been really busy putiing out a jsapi app and haven't had even a second to check my threads, esp. this one.  That's really disappointing about this not being addresssed in the 10.3 prerelease.  I don't understand.  A NIM was generated for this issue over two months ago after I spent hours and hours with esri on this problem.  And it has always been my understanding that NIMs are addresssed in the next release.  ESRI, please issue some kind of statement about this issue.  Or better yet, a hotfix as Bob suggested. Please! ... View more

Hi Michael- I don't know what to tell you other than to delete all aspects of the 10.2.0 service and completly recreate the map service, with a new tiling scheme at 10.2.2 and then re-cache it before it is under load.  I had difficulty and odd behavior when I tried re-caching the same maps from previous releases at .2.  Sure looking forward to the 10.3 fix on this.  ...
