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 ...

Do you mean other than manually counting the exes?  There's probably something in Windows commands that can produce a count for a certain processs... ... View more

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.  ...

Thanks Pat- You all are a bit more advanced than us for sure.  Thanks for the node info, great for my future reference.  Actually, we too had major issues with the AD roles, didn't mean to imply otherwise.  In fact, we found our AD policies too restrictive and reverted back to full gis-tier, but at your scale that would be a challange.  Wish I could be of more help!

Hi Pat- Sounds like you have your hands full.  First, we also have a large, distrubuted site running 10.2.2.  In all the, the site consisits of 3 app servers hosting ags10.2.2. All app servers are Windows Server 2008R2 machines, where each applicaiton server has 32GB RAM, dual 4 core cpus with hyperthreading enabled.  Two machines participate in a mapCluster, with the 3rd on the gpCluster that handles asyc tasks, caching, data extract tasks, etc. The webServer hosting our WebAdaptor is a virtual machine with 8GB RAM.   The File Server hosting our directories and stores has 16GB, same  cpu setup on a 10-1 raided array. The files server was previously a SAN gateway but we removed it due to performance issues.  The database server hosting sde 10.2.2, SQL Server 2008R2 (SqlGeometry Storage) also has 32GB Ram, Dual 4-core cpu's but NO HyperThreading enabled.  We are stable in terms of performance and availability with some 70 services.  The mapCluster is usually running some 8GB under load with 32-35 SOC procs balanced between each.  Couple of observations.  Why are you running one server per cluster?  To us, we thought that defeated the whole purpose of the web adaptor's load balancing.  I would place 3 of your servers in one mapCluster, and place your fourth in a gpCluster.  Also, if you are using full web-tier and windows domain authentication, why are you using the built-in roles and not AD roles?  We found that using our AD without using AD roles led to alot of instability.   Lastly, for us, we found that reverting back to gis-tier, gis-user defined store and internal roles greatly enhanced our control and scalability- Hope this helps- David ...

Hi Bjorn- Can you tell us where we might go for the ExpandoPane css?  At 3.10 the url is: http://js.arcgis.com/3.10/js/dojo/dojox/layout/resources/ExpandoPane.css" Thanks ... View more

Ronnie- ESRI has idendtified this as an in use or under load issue and has created a NIM.  It looks like it will be fixed at 10.3.  We have set up 3 identical cache services and secured them.  Because they are not under load, re-creating _all_tiles does work.  I simply then perform an xcopy of my bundles over the existing, under load services.  In this way I do not have to resort to exploded caches. ...

Correct.  When using SQL Geometry there is nothing to rebuild.  You can only reset levels and cells per level.  We found for dense, complex polygon data sets wiht a lot of varying areas or dense streets datasetw with lots of varying lengths that a index of Medium, Medium, Medium, Low with 64 cells per object greatly outperforms the defeault setting of 4 Medium and 16 cells per object when using both SQL2008 and 2012 ...

As far as I know ESRI doesn't allow you to register both.  You can either install and register Portal for your Organization account, or you can register AGOL, so it may be a moot point in trying to set up both, unless you have two organizational accounts. ... View more
