Yes Kathleen, I wish I could have been of more help.  Yes, it takes our system about 12 hours to finish as well, especially with a host site, a fed site, relational, tile cache and then the web adaptors.  Its nerve wracking at best because as our system is always live. Others seem to be having issues going from 10.7.1 to 10.8.1.  I went from 10.7.1 to 10.8 and then 10.8 to 10.8.1 with no trouble, we have basically the same set up as you. That's why I don't think its related to any virus software, as long as the explicit firewall processes are allowed to run and the internal and dynamic TCP ports are open.  But those setting didn't change from 10.7.1 to 10.8.1 ...

Ok so I'm guessing that having the different creator groups on concurrent and named user didn't cause an issue at 10.7.1?  Because its my guess that portal doesn't know how to allocate the app bundles.  It's like it needs a license file for the concurrent use and one for the named users.  I'd go through support on this one. ...

When I look at your license.png attachment you've got something going on with 2 different Creator level groups.  Why is that?  Also, are you using Named User licenses or are you using Concurrent Use? ... View more

Hi Keith - yeah, I don't think so.  The datafiles themselves are stored in the pgdata directory and its sub-directories . . . https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/storage-file-layout.html However, datastore as an app and rdbms is a black box and completely managed through server and datastore configs, dlls and exes in the various version releases, which are in the pgsql directories. The last time I had to do a re-install, I too did so because of a mis-configuration.  And Support also had me do an un-install, etc. I believe support does this because of the black box nature of the datastore. ...

Hmm, when I configure datastore for an of my upgrades, I am running the configuration wizard on the datastore server itself.  It shouldn't matter, but have you tried running the config through https://localhost:2443 using chrome?  In the address bar it looks like you are using maybe a DNS alias?  Also, can you verify that the directory 'E:\arcgisdatastore\pgsql10.6' exists? ...

Ok thanks all. I always just check the developers page https://developers.arcgis.com/python/ and look at the version release date.  When I asked this question yesterday, the page still read Version 1.8.2 · Sept 20, 2020 I can now see the update ... View more

Hi Michelle, so there's nothing really to show.  When logged into my AGOL org, and going to GeoNet using a new tab in Chrome, GeoNet automatically takes me to the GeoNet account registration page because it doesn't recognize my AGOL org account, nor should it. So that's actually ok. But, I am not getting bounced to a 'switch account' page. Instead, I found that if I sign out of the GeoNet page at that time, I can then sign in again using my primary ESRI account, which is what I want and has all of my settings etc.   ... View more

Why can I not switch accounts anymore?  When I'm logged into our AGOL org and I go to geonet, i can no longer switch accounts. ... View more

Hi Janice - yes that is true.  I ask because we use F5 as our primary switch that is controlled by our IT security group.  In our case F5 does no load balancing, it only redirects requests to the web adaptors, where the web adaptor then sends along requests to the server machines that comprise our hosting site (or to our federated site, depending). I think those proxy config files from GitHub are expecting the web adaptor, as evidenced by the "<ProxyConfig xmlns="> was not expected."  error.  That's the proxy config xml name space.  F5 is tricky.  Our web server hosting the web adaptor's is not registered with our internal DNS.  Rather, the internal machine name is aliased at the F5. If I then publish and secure a GP or print service from my own server I usually run into CORS problems. I think that you would have an easier time with any apps or services you deploy if you do use the web adaptor.  I've always found it to be responsive. ... View more

Hi - I have to ask- why do you not want to use the web adaptor? ... View more

Hi Allan - there's just no way to backdoor this stuff.  You have to have created your server site and then registered your datastore with the site before federation.  I am at 10.8.1 on Windows server 2016. Every time I upgrade I follow the steps outlined in the help here: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/get-started/latest/windows/upgrade-arcgis-enterprise.htm without fail.   It's possible you need to 'Alter relational data store account passwords' following this guide, https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/alter-account-passwords.htm but I don't know. I've never had to do this as I've always just followed the upgrade steps.  Sorry I can't be of more help   ... View more

Yes, same as me you would have defined and used the same AGS primary site admin account and supplied that when running the post install of the datastore.  If the describedatastore is not showing the Portal url then you have federation problems as evidenced by the token error, and you'll probably have issues until that's resolved. Are you sure the Datastore is registered with Server correctly?  And then are you sure the Server site with datastore is correctly designated by Portal as the Hosting Site?  I would start there. The help says changebackuploation is legacy and to use configure   ... View more

Hi Allan - to me, you shouldn't have to be supplying any credentials for that command.  If you look in the help, https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/data-store/latest/install/windows/data-store-utility-reference.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_35FC910709804CC0AA43C44C5B15F810 It shows this: Examples In the first example, the backup location for a relational data store is set to a directory named fsdata_bu on a machine named myshare.   configurebackuplocation --operation change --store relational --location \\myshare\fsdata_bu You are going to change the backup location of the data store. Existing backups will be copied to the new location and it could take a few moments. Please do not interrupt the process once it has started. Do you want to continue (Yes or No)? Yes   So to  me, the account that needs read write to the changed backup location is the domain account running ArcGISServer.exe and ArcGISDataStore.exe services. ... View more
