Seems Chrome must have had some cached JS - it doesn't work here, either. I'm pushing it to dev now to see if it's the self-signed cert on my local build. ... View more

Have you thought about smoothing/generalizing your polygons, if that's an option for you? Reducing the vertices will result in a smaller file, but at the expense of losing some spatial resolution. What about splitting-up some of your features? Have you considered increasing your memory? How much do you have installed? ... View more

Everyone, thanks for the help - I think this is working well! In Chrome at least... In IE, I'm having an issue and am receiving an authentication log-in when attempting to access the service: I'm looking into it now and ran across this technical article: 42332 - Unable to access the authentication service Which is not particularly conclusive in my case - the SSL certs are valid and confirmed on the GIS server. I can authenticate through REST when directly accessing through the web; I have also verified token generation using http://gisserver.domain.com:6080/arcgis/tokens I'm thinking it might be the way IE is handling my localhost dev app - it's currently using a self-signed cert, which may be breaking the chain, at least in IE? Seems like it may be according to some info in "Unable to access the authentication service" while trying to add secured services. ... View more

I imagine quite bit of that 2% are isolated posts way, way up in the northern territories, where it's probably fly-in only. ... View more

I wasn't aware of this issue - we haven't had any crop-up with penetration scans... We understood that our services were open for all, provided users weren't blocked by firewall, but that was ok since they were services not needing to be secure. Now, we need secure services - it's been so long since I've had to set-up/configure anything proxy-related! ... View more

You're using the term LAN - Local Area Network - are you meaning to refer to landline telephone numbers (at least this is how I know them as)? That is, telephone numbers that are wired into the PSTN - the old school telephone network, not over the Internet (VoIP). I was confused because there is such a thing as LAN telephony! Since you're working with the fire dept., I imagine you should be able to interface the local EMS operations - they should have this type of information available, I would imagine, since they need to associate location when someone dials 911. Any other method is going to be inaccurate and/or incomplete. ... View more

Usually, when referencing LAN telephony, you'd be talking about a limited "local" network, like within an office. Are you referring to VoIP? If so, here's some info on GEOPRIV - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3693.txt ... View more

I wish I would have employed this a couple of years back - I ended-up creating a bunch of kludgy, asynch watches on variables and stuff for flow control. It works well, but sure is a strange way of doing things... Now that I'm a bit wiser, I think a refactoring is in order... ... View more

More specifically, this part from your suggestions: 4. In the proxy config specify the username and password for the secured arcgis services. So that the user need not to provide any credentials. the proxy will take care of generating and managing the token to access secured services. ... View more

Hmmm, it doesn't indicate anything about case sensitivity in the API: ArcGIS Server REST API Description: The list of fields to be included in the returned resultset. This list is a comma delimited list of field names. If you specify the shape field in the list of return fields, it is ignored. To request geometry, set returnGeometry to true . You can also specify the wildcard "*" as the value of this parameter. In this case, the query results include all the field values. Example: outFields=AREANAME,ST,POP2000 Example (wildcard usage): outFields=* I use the JSAPI to hit rest services - I just tried a query against it and asked to return field without case sensitivity, which worked, e.g. https://mygisserver/arcgis/rest/services/myservices/foo/MapServer/0/query? where=& text=& objectIds=1,2,3,4,5,6& time=& geometry=& geometryType=esriGeometryEnvelope& inSR=& spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects& relationParam=& outFields=testtest& returnGeometry=false& maxAllowableOffset=& geometryPrecision=& outSR=& returnIdsOnly=false& returnCountOnly=false& orderByFields=& groupByFieldsForStatistics=& outStatistics=& returnZ=false& returnM=false& gdbVersion=& returnDistinctValues=false& returnTrueCurves=false& resultOffset=& resultRecordCount=& f=pjson { "displayFieldName": "TestTest", "fieldAliases": {   "TestTest": "TestTest" }, "fields": [   {   "name": "TestTest",   "type": "esriFieldTypeString",   "alias": "TestTest",   "length": 150   } ], "features": [   {   "attributes": {     "TestTest": "Hello"   }   },   {   "attributes": {     "TestTest": "Foo"   }   },   {   "attributes": {     "TestTest": "Bar"   }   },   {   "attributes": {     "TestTest": "Biz"   }   },   {   "attributes": {     "TestTest": "Bat"   }   },   {   "attributes": {     "TestTest": "Hat"   }   } ] } Maybe there's a setting on the map service for case sensitivity? ...

What type of device was used for GPS recording? Were the points post-processed/differentially corrected? What type of accuracy problems - minor deviations, or substantial outliers? If the latter, these can be cleaned-up fairly easily, but if it's the former, I would look into the collection and processing method. ... View more

Thanks, I remember seeing something relating to secure services when initially installing and configuring the proxy. Right now, it's open-ended access, which really isn't a problem (yet, at least). The proxy is published on each application server now... I'll look more into this. Regarding AGOL, I saw that it seemed pretty easy to set-up, relatively, but, we unfortunately can't go this route due to policies and architecture - but good info to know. ... View more

There may be zip/zcta services available - I couldn't find them anywhere easily. But, you can create your own map services from the links provided - here's some info on doing that: Tutorial: Publishing a map service—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server The type of layer would be polygon - the server will know this already as this is information contained in the shapefile/feature class. Here's a sample on thematically mapping data to counties: Generate renderer | ArcGIS API for JavaScript You say you're new to ArcGIS - are you familiar with coding/JavaScript? If so, you may want to stick with the JSAPI - it's more complex code-wise, but the real learning curve for you would be the GIS concepts. If you're not familiar with coding, I would suggest looking at the WAB (Web AppBuilder) - Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS I don't actually use the WAB, but my understanding is that it can be very basic, with no coding required, to fairly complex with custom widgets and configurations (there's an API for that, too - CSS framework—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers). To use the WAB, you need an Esri Organizational License (Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS). The JSAPI is actually free for a few uses, according to this thread, at least: Is the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API free to use? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange But, unless there's a publicly available map service you are allowed to use, you'll have to create your own, and in order to do that, you would need something like ArcGIS Server or AGOL (ArcGIS Online) - Frequently asked questions—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS ...
