I too am experiencing brand new caching issues at 10.2.2.  I am unable to either DELETE_TILES or RECREATE_ALL_TILES from an existing cache. The error we keep receiving is: Line 30Output failure, error string = Error moving bundle Failed to cache extent: -9223211.962860 3087885.815688 -9079003.170544 3271103.291998 at scale 577790.55428899999. The error occures when running a RECREATE_ALL_TILES or operation of the Manage Map Cache Tiles (run as a tool or script) from our dedicated server gp cluster machine.  This has occurred as of yesterday whether reading from the GIS SDE database OR from a data-store file gdb.  When the error occurs, the entire cache becomes corrupt, making any other caching operations in-operable (delete cache, delete tiles, etc).  During the recreate, the bundlx file is being removed but the bundle file is not, thus not allowing the tool to overwrite the bundle from the admin-defined D:/arcgistemp folder(s) on the GP server. Thus far, the only solution has been to kill the service, stop the site, and then remove the entire cache directory, restart the site, recreate both the service and the cache.  Not ideal.

Outstanding work Jeff, way to go.  Very impressive. David ... View more

Hi Robert- Essentially you correct thank you..  I solved by setting a renderer to match the def query of the feature layer, such that if say hospital points are part of a larger layer: var lyrHospital = new FeatureLayer("https://ags2.scgov.net/arcgis/rest/services/WebEOC/WebEocOperational/MapServer/10", {   mode : FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,   opacity : 1.0,   infoTemplate : hspTemplate,      outFields : outFieldsHospital   });   lyrHospital.setDefinitionExpression("FEATURETYPE = 'HSP'"); then set the renderer to match: var hspSym = new PictureMarkerSymbol('http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/NPS/npsPictograph_0074b.png', 18, 18); //24, 24 var hspRenderer = new SimpleRenderer(hspSym); //defaultSymbol, "ProgramArea");     lyrHospital.setRenderer(hspRenderer); Thanks David ...

We are working on that behavior now and will let the community know if we find anything. Essentially the TOC code needs to change the visiblity of one layer based upon the visibility of another. ... View more

Jeff's right. Souce code is not available but you can easily plug in your own or esri's routing service into the dijit.  I would begin by looking at the routing paramaters, tasks and results task examples- ... View more

Hi Robert- Just thought I'd let you know that I have been making the move over for to JS since about September of 2013.  We've been able to work out many idosyncracies with AMD, classes, aliases, dgrid, where to place and call modules, CSS syntax, working with feature layers and cached services at the same time and more.  Now, I am not trying to recreate the viewer in the JSAPI.  But if ESRI comes out with a 'viewer' we will certainly take a look.  I'm at 3.6 with the FlexViewer and don't really anticipate taking it to a greater release (unless you come up with some sort of must-have at 3.7 or 3.8:). As far as any of the current JS templates that esri has out (property and community lookupds), I have found it much eaiser to construct my own templates as most of the esri code is still in legacy format, and of course like everything else I'd rather build my own code than deconstruct theirs where possible.  In the meantime, I spending much more time on the Javascript API forums.  I have two colleuges, Jeff Pace and Ken Buja, that have provided invaluable tips and answers.  Also, for those that must have a TOC dijit, please see: http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/agsjs/latest/examples/toc.html See you in the forums-- ...

Hello Diego: I'm sure you are probably already aware, but there is a patch that address tiles and tile count anamalies: "ArcGIS 10.2.1 for (Desktop, Engine, Server) Hosted map service export tiles dialog Patch".  I'm not certain that it will address your specific issue, but it well could. I too am at 10.2.1 and have experienced a similar issue, but have found that as long as I run my cache re-builds through "arcpy.ManageMapServerCacheTiles_server" tool, update mode "RECREATE_ALL_TILES, specify my scales in an array, I never have any issues.  I rebuild both a local streets cache and a local basemap cache in both a state plane harn and web mercator projections each weekend. I do find at times that with my web mercator scales, my cache directory will at times leave behind empty scale level folders that I am not using, but I just delete these.  See the help for for good examples to get you started if you haven't already.  Hope this helps- David ...

Hello Esri et al: We have discovered that the 10.2.1 Create Mobile Cache tool failures are related to the map extent for certain map projections such as HARN.  It would appear that there is something in the way the extent is read when using a HARN projection.  For example, when publishing an mxd in a HARN projection enabled and bringing that MobileService as an operational layer into the MPC the service will not display.  When zooming to the initial extent, all appears normal but still no display of data.  And the Cache tool continues to extract only schema as well. However, when then setting the project extent in the MPC, the MPC will zoom down to a  5" square envelope.  It's as if the op layer were behaving as page space.  This got me thinking about the projection engine, which apparently has changed slightly at 10.2.1.  So, as a workaround, I brought my HARN projected layers back into a new mxd, changed the data frame projection to standard state plane and reset the full extent.  I then switched the data frame back to HARN, reset the full extent, published the service and wa-la.  The op layer displays in the MPC, and the cache tool is able to dowload all data from the modified mxd.  So, I think the real issue lies in the way MPC and the Cache tools handle HARN (and perhaps other projections as well) as all of this was never a problem at 10.2 Thanks-- hope this helps others.

Hi Chris- Thanks for the reply.  I apologize for the frustration.  I've since discovered that we may have some data issues as the 'Create Mobile Cache' tool is downloading the features at cache creation for some of my feature classes but not all.  The tool works with one specific cache that I have created for the MPC, and does dowload the data to that cache from my 10.2.1 SDE. For the two caches where the tool is failing, those are being consumed in a MobileSDK application, but that shouldn't make a difference.  At this time we have to check this data, (as it's not an mxd full-extent setting issue).  Thanks for the reply and I will post my findings later this week or so.  If I am unsuccessful there, I'll open up a support incident- David ...

I think you have share or port issues.  Are you using a local or domain account for arcgisserver?  Have you re-run the post-installation for the arcgisserver account?  Have you checked all of your share permissions for the arcgisserer account for all of the system directories?  Does that account have write access?  Does your IT have any proxy or reverse proxy settings that you are not aware of?  Are you running WebAdaptor on the same server?  Is it listening on the correct ports? Hope that helps- David ... View more

Hi again all- Sorry to answer my own reply, but after 9 days not a single user has encountered difficulties with the Create Mobile Cache tool at 10.2.1?  Everything works just fine in 10.2, no problems whatsoever no matter what the source data, be it file gdb, sde, versioned vs non-versioned data.  What I am discovering is that after checking all parameters from privliges and user accounts, gloabalIDs, editor tracking and more the tool will download data into the cache for some mxd's but not others-- Esri?  Anyone?

Hello- Server 10.1 through 10.2.1 doesn't work that way.  You must overwrite the map service to see any data changes.  This can be scripted using pyhton by setting up sddraft and sd files (service definition files) that reference your services where the sd is then posted toserver.  See 10.2 help on services overwititng and publication David ...

I did run accross some helpful information in terms of the IDLE.  As a scheduled task, we can set the 'program to run' (target) as either C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\python.exe or as  C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.2\python.exe.   However, if one wishes to run a 32-bit script in a mixed environment directly from the IDLE, the target must be manually changed in your IDLE Properties.  At completion howerver, the target must be reverted back.  AND, existing scripts still launch in the 64-bit flavor.  Still, it would be helpful for esri to post which modules or tools run in which environment.
