Hi @PatrickMcKinney99, my two cents on this, it would depend on your policy, how much space you have available, more is always better if you have space. On a side note, I would not just relight on WebGISDR which is a point in time recovery for the whole system, because it is all or nothing, I had cases where portal broke for example, but the client lost data in datastore because his backup was a week old. I would also add the site export for portal and ArcGIS Server and the data store backup for datastore, that will give you more flexibility if just one component breaks. Hope it helps Henry ...

So I fixed the datastore not validating, turns out it had wiped out the json in its config file. BUT, I am now still being prompted to sign in not only for hosted data, but referenced as well. Even if I sign in as the data owner, I get the prompt. I tested with my colleague who signed into the same machine with the same credentials, but did not get the sign in prompt at all....  So I am guessing that it might be related to my windows credentials???? I am going to check that out, but I am still lost as to why this is happening. ... View more

Yes, the F5 Virtual Server has the DNS C-Name assigned to its IP and a CA SSL applied to it.  The web adaptor server runs IIS and can use a domain cert.  The F5 VS is the only thing end users connect to.   It proxies traffic to a 'pool' which, in this case, only has one server in it and that is the web adaptor server. ...

Ok, with some finagling I think I made some progress. Using Power Automate, when an HTTP request is received > loop through Events > post an attribute to slack. So, now using the Power Automate webhook URL rather than the ootb one coming from Slack. Still trying to wrap my head around how to configure the message and what the different attributes are. If anyone has done this with the ootb Slack webhook I would be curious to see how it's done 😊 ... View more

Hey @ArchitSrivastava thanks for those links. I was able to confirm I can create files/directories in PowerShell from my orchestration machine, to the end nodes. I've narrowed down the issue to our DFS location where we are placing the config-store & directories. This is a shared space for the business so they've likely blocked winRM connections. So we'll have to figure out a different storage solution for the ArcGIS Servers.  ... View more

We experienced this as well after Windows Server patching/updates. Data Store service is running, validates with ArcGIS Server, hosted services are started, but they do not load in Portal's map viewer nor in ArcGIS Pro.  Running the describe data store utility did not show anything out of the norm. Restarting the Data Store service did not resolve.  Fix: Reboot ArcGIS Enteprise components in this order: Stop: Data Store, Server, Portal Wait a few minutes Start: Data Store, Server, wait a few minutes, Start Portal, wait a few minutes This allowed hosted layers to work in Portal now. In ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and 3.2 we had to start with new Projects for the hosted layers to begin working. Existing maps continued to show the same errors, even after re-adding layers/updating sources.  Also wanted to note: This outage has happened twice before. In those instances we ran the Configure ArcGIS Server account and input the same credentials we had used before, and this also solved the issue. Rebooting windows services fixed it for us in this instance but the configure service account might be something to try if that doesn't work.  ... View more

From what I read in the links you posted, fault tolerance is not the issue with the performance of administering services. Fault tolerance just means stuff doesn't get lost in case of a failure of a single disk or server, e.g. by having a RAID that stores backup copies of any file, or a secondary server storing a backup. It doesn't say anything about the performance of the underlying file system. Your problem is already pointed out by the text you quoted: apparently DFS will not immediately show any changes / writes to it to all machines accessing it, which appears to be required for properly managing your ArcGIS Server installation. This delay caused by DFS makes it unsuitable for storing your configuration store. Based on the remarks of random high IO requirements in the links you posted, you're probably best off putting it on a (dedicated) single server with an NVMe drives based RAID 1 or 5 to have backup of the data. Modern NVMe drives should give you the required random IO performance. ... View more

Brandon - what version of Superion are you using?  We have the same problem - needing to manually update data using shapefiles.  It's tedious and time consuming (so not immediate updates upon any real data changes).  They told us during multiple conference calls (when we were trying to shift to be ready for NG911) that shapefiles were the only way.  I specifically asked about web services and was told "no". ...

I cannot believe this is not in the app - make it so. ... View more

Thanks Derek, Recently 2023.2 fixed the issue. ... View more

That parameter is optional, so I think either not supplying it or setting the value to "*" should do what you want. You may have to page through results, however. ... View more

For us - this seems to be related to a self signed cert error.  If using the Python API, GIS('myportalurl', username, password) fails with ssl validation error unless I add verify_cert=False as a parameter.  The problem is, there is no way to do this using Arcpy.SignInToPortal, which is required for programmatically publishing services.   ...

Hi @TanuHoque  - in the case where client side drawing or interactivity is required, does the map service derived feature layer method incur a server performance cost equivalent to using an actual Feature Layer (Feature Access derived)? If it does incur the same performance cost, I believe a Feature Layer (Feature Access derived) would be the simpler option as far as adding the data to a Map goes, ie: Feature Access derived Feature Layer - you can use the Add Layer button and search portal for the Feature Layer and then add Map Server derived Feature Layer: you have to know and add the full MapServer/0 layer id rest URL using Add > Web Service method       ...

I think you can still use hyperlinks for webmaps. You need to put your photos/docs on a web server and add the path in your attribute table. I would recommend attachments for web maps though. In general attachments are a cleaner solution, no overhead managing files on a web server, and more performant from my experience. Attachments can be viewed directly from web map popups too, I think hyperlinks always open in a new tab. I could be wrong though, it's been a few years. ... View more
