Hi Benjamin, I have a local arcgis account on the GIS server that is running the Service. we are using DB auth. Does the DB need to have this same user account with edit permissions? Sorry for the late reply, I was out on business travel. Yes, you'll need to add the ArcGIS account as a valid database user for DB authentication. Hope this helps,

Hi Judy, I am using ArcGIS Server 10.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Web Adaptor for IIS. I want to start with a simple Anonymous Authentication. Are there any examples of how to do this? Can this be done with the default ArcGIS Server security configuration shown below? Are tokens necessary? Just to add onto what Kevin and Jeff posted, below are some help docs on the topic: Restricting access to GIS web services Editing permissions in Manager Hope this helps,

Hi Alaa, This is an older doc, but some of its contents are still applicable: KB #25040 - FAQ: What are some common ArcSDE SQL Server tuning tasks? Hope this helps,

Hi Brian, Can you point me to a help document that describes how one creates a .sde connection file to a specific version of a feature class? You can use the Create ArcSDE Connection File tool in ArcToolbox > Data Management toolbox > Workspace toolset. Create ArcSDE Connection File (Data Management) You can select a different version to connect to. Hope this helps,

Hi Haniu, What is the function of Web Adaptor? Is it just to redirect request? The Web Adaptor enables you to leverage a 3rd party web server (e.g., IIS) as part of your GIS site. Domenico already referenced the help topic that describes its benefits; and one of the key ones is it helps make your site more secure. Suppose I have 3 arcgis server machines configured as 1 cluster. Do I need Web Adaptor? Isnt the work load between servers already spread out automatically since I have all of them in 1 cluster? No, in this scenario the Web Adaptor is not required, but strongly recommended. And yes, the work load is spread between the 3 GIS Servers when they are in the same cluster. Hope this helps,

Hi Zemka, I am trying to display images in pop-up screen in Web Application. It works in ArcGIS online, but i dont know how to do it in arcGIS Manager. I don't believe the ArcGIS Web Applications Manager (i.e., Web ADF app builder) supports creating pop-ups like in the ArcGIS.com Map Viewer. Also, is there any way to add arcGIS online basemap in arcgis Manager - web application? Yes, please review this help topic: Adding ArcGIS Online services to a web application Hope this helps,

Hi Brian, ... It appears that my version is not recognized as being registered, even though the SDE database in which this feature class is stored is registered. Are there some extra steps when publishing a feature service using a versioned feature class? Short answer is "no" to your question. I suspect what happened is this: 1. You defined your data store that references your ArcSDE geodatabase, by referencing a .sde connection file. The connection file referenced a specific version in the geodatabase (e.g., possibly the DEFAULT version). 2. You created a new public version for the trails feature class, and attempt to publish this in a map service with feature access enabled. 3. When ArcMap performs the analyze, it throws the "feature service requires a registered database" error, because it is checking for the specific version in the geodatabase that is specified in the connection file used by your data store. This is a different version than the one being referenced by the trails feature class. Please try defining a new data store, that uses a different .sde connection file - that references your new public version used by the trails feature class. Hope this helps,

Hi Tyler, ... However, I'm not sure what my 'Publisher Folder Hostname' should be? For the Publisher Folder Host Name, specify the name of the machine that is hosting the publisher's folder. FYI, for more details: Registering your data with ArcGIS Server using Manager Q) Is your machine 'MFA-191', the machine that is hosting the source data for your services? Hope this helps,

Ryan and Tom: ... I know we can use the out of the box search feature to search addresses but it is not as accurate as our local address locators and not being a programmer I do not know how to write anything to add this feature. I agree with you Ryan address location services is the most basic of all needs. The next release of the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight (coming very soon) will have OOTB support for custom locators. Hope this helps,

Halil and Lun, Regarding the ability to connect from a 10.1 client to a 9.2 ArcSDE geodatabase data source: we did not block connections to 9.2 geodatabases, but it is an unsupported configuration and has not been tested/certified. Hope this helps,

Hi Scott, I am setting up a new server and I need to know if it is worth waiting for the 10.1 compatible version of the Silverlight Builder. Will it be out by the end of next week? We're targeting the next release of the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight for next week, but I can't provide a definitive release date as we are in the process of doing final release testing. If we find an issue during testing, we need to pull the build back and fix the issue, then go through release testing again. Hope this helps,

Hi Andrea, If I were to move my personal geodatabases to store them in ArcSDE for SQL Server Express that is included with my ArcEditor desktop software, does that allow me to have 2 people editing that database at the same time and reconciling changes? Or is that only available with ArcServer ArcSDE? If you only have ArcGIS Desktop - ArcEditor, then you would have a Desktop geodatabase (aka. ArcSDE personal geodatabase) and it supports 1 editor and 2 readers (3 concurrent connections). The other option for an ArcSDE geodatabase implemented on SQL Server Express does require ArcGIS Server Workgroup, and you get a Workgroup geodatabase (aka. ArcSDE workgroup geodatabase). It supports 10 editors and readers (10 concurrent connections). FYI: Multiuser Geodatabase (Esri product page) Both geodatabase options are collectively called 'Database servers' in the help documentation: What are database servers in ArcGIS? Hope this helps,
