Very interesting Royce, thanks for the post.  I too shall run this by my IT network and storage people to determine if we have something similar happening as well. ... View more

Hi Ian- Correct.  I am still using the same method above at 10.2.2 for getting around empty caches when using HARN.  Once the data frame has been given a correct transformation, whether from HARN to Standard State Plane or WGS84, then re-set back to HARN, the full caches will be created.  A minor work-around really.

Hi all- I actually have an update that disables the popup when one of the measurment tools is selected as opposed to the entire accordion pane in the html: function disablePopup() {   if (measurement.activeTool == "area" || measurement.activeTool == "distance" || measurement.activeTool == "location"){   mapMain.setInfoWindowOnClick(false);   }   else{        mapMain.setInfoWindowOnClick(true);        }   }   lang.setObject("disablePopup", disablePopup); the onClick call must still be set on the div pane that contains the measurement dom node.  Perhaps a bit more elegant than my earlier solution of disabling popups when the entire pane has the focus, although there are certainly cases where that would be useful as well...

Oh, thanks for the info Robert! ... View more

Hi All- We engineered another solution.  As we are using an accordian container we simply provided an argument for the accordion div's onClick Event: <div id="accordion" data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/AccordionContainer" onclick="listenForSelectedChild();"> And then passed in the function from the js file: function listenForSelectedChild(){         if(dijit.byId('accordion').selectedChildWidget.id == "findPane"){             mapMain.setInfoWindowOnClick(false);         }         else {             mapMain.setInfoWindowOnClick(true);         }      }      lang.setObject("listenForSelectedChild", listenForSelectedChild); where setting the object makes the function globally avaibable to the html.  In this way, whenever the selected acordion pane has the focus, the popup is disabled.  Should work with any controls as well.  Perhaps not as elegant as the solution in the thread Robert referred me to, but I was having trouble the dojo/aspect api. Apologies on the non-formatting, as above for Luci the 'advanced editor' doesn't seem to be available... Thanks David ... View more

Thanks Luci- not a problem.  Not sure if what you have here will work for me on the dijit since it looks like what you are works with a task, but I'm going to give it a try and let you know.  I know I can certainly use it on an interactive route task I have set up, where my work-around is to use a mouse-down as opposed to a click event when adding a stop or barrier graphic on my map, where mouse-down is a bit weird on touch screens Thanks- David ...

Thanks Robert- I hadn't worked with aspect yet, thanks for the heads up- David ... View more

A small update: The Recreate_All_Tiles option worked again last week (repeatedly using my python IDLE) on our stand-alone development server, but continues to fail with the same frequency and 'error moving bundle file' error in our distributed three-machine, 2 cluster production environment where our shares, directories and stores are stored on our 1Gig Lan connected file server.  It would be really, really great if ESRI could comment.

You could try setting up a shutdown in your licence manager for all desktop products.  We use FlexLM and it does just that.  And to your earlier question, no I don't always have to stop services, only if a schema lock is set to true. And yes, you will have to overwrite or restart the map service depending on the nature of the change. ... View more

Yes, if anyone could actaully tell us what tools and/or scripts are used to generate the Summarize Within or Summarize Nearby GP services that would be very helpful.  Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any help in this regard in either the REST or JavaScript APIs.  As an analyst, I can certainly produce summary statistics on the desktop using a variety of methods and tools.  But that in no way helps us to construct the same GP service in our own Advanced-licenced Server environment which would allow us to create our own jobs.

I know this is a bit late in the game and hopefully not too obvious, but by setting up your dojoConfig var within a script tag of your html and setting up your packages, async and parseOnLOad options we've never had any issues:     <script>       var path_location = location.pathname.replace(/\/[^/]+$/, "");       var dojoConfig = {       packages : [{name: "agsjs", location: path_location + "/agsjs"},       {name: "js", location: path_location + "/js"}],         async : true,         parseOnLoad : true       };     </script> Thanks, David ...

Sure.  Um, well as you know caching is very I/O intensive for enterprise databases.  You can try a couple things: First, if you must use your SDE as your source layers, try backing out some of your more intensive layers such as parcels, annotation and the like and run some high-level tiles and check your performance.  Then keep adding in layers and labelling combinations until you can find the offending layer.  Or, if you can, go ahead and copy your cache layers to a fdgb that resides in your data-store, resource your mxd to those layers, re-publish your service and then re-cache. For us, I found that for our county basemap, with scales down to 1:600 (for 600 mi2), cached at about 4 hours when running a full 14 caching instances on our gp server.  Again, that was when sourced to our enterprise SQL SDE. When I replaced the source to fgdb in our data-store, that time decreased to 20 minutes. Hope this helps David ... View more
