Hello Aditya, Can you post your code?  Otherwise it is hard to diagnose what you are running into. ... View more

I love this widget and everything that Kevin and everyone else has done on it.  I was just looking at Pictometry's website this morning though, and their integrations page would suggest that they've developed a WAB widget of their own.  http://www.eagleview.com/Products/Integrations/SoftwarePartnerIntegrations.aspx#Esri This is the first I've heard of it, so I'm going to reach out to our rep to see what he can say about it.  Just curious if anyone else had any experience with it? ...

It is interesting that you just brought this up, because I was just recently asked to look at this application again (2 years later) and to get it up and functioning.  While I have not been able to get any kind of notification system that works into our ticketing system, I have devised three workarounds:  I have a report file (.rlf) that I have designated someone to run through arcmap weekly, monthly, etc. This will report on all data currently in the ServiceRequest feature class.  This also pulls in the comments table.  Only downside here is that you lose the mapping component.  For my users that are a little more arcmap-familiar, I have added the ServiceRequest data layers in an mxd for them to view.  Then they can view the raw data at their convenience.  I can also then give editing access to the users who will be responsible for updating status and responding to requests through the application. My third workaround is in progress, but I am envisioning having a scheduled python script look through the data and send off an email when something new comes in.  Basically the workflow would be something like: Run a search cursor through the ServiceRequest feature class to check the date stamp on all records, and match to the day's date.  Return those results through an array Populate an email body with those results, and use Python's SMTPLIB to blast out an email to the involved parties.  You could even have it send to different recipients based on the request category of the record.   I would schedule this script to run once or twice per day, to catch any incoming requests.  Not perfect solutions, but I think I can make them work.  That said, I would really prefer to have a more concrete solution from ESRI.  I'm curious what others have done to make this work for them.  Once I get this script finished, I will gladly share it.  ...

I would be very interesting to see what you've put together for a Pictometry/WAB integration.  I've been looking at a couple of ways to build that into GIS and get it out to our users.  ... View more

Thanks for keeping us in the loop on the release.  Really looking forward to getting at this version of the WAB! ... View more

Actually, now that I think back on my process, I don't believe that I used X-ray to bring the model into SDE.  I created an empty file geodatabase, and used X-ray to load in the schema and set the spatial references on the datasets.  I then brought all of my necessary data into that geodatabase.  From there I just brought over each individual dataset that I needed into my SDE database.  Like I said, it wasn't a very straightforward process, but it got me where I needed to be. ...

Using the "Object Loader" in arcmap should allow you to load into a dataset with a topology, something that the Simple Data Loader will not do. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Adding_the_Load_Objects_command_to_ArcMap/003n0000003w000000/ ... View more

Yes, I believe that was the document the broken link was supposed to be pointing to, albeit the 10.1 version.  Other considerations would be to get your users setup in the enterprise environment.  Are you planning on using any of the Local gov applications?  If so, I would look specifically at documentation for the ones that you are interested in, and see what data access requirements they will have for the database user.  Some applications only need a data reader, whereas others need write-permission.  As for getting the actual schema into the enterprise database, ESRI would recommend using the "X-Ray" tool found here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/localgovernment/10.2/index.html#/Migrating_your_data_to_the_Local_Government_geodatabase/028s00000049000000/ This will import the XML schema as well as allow you to set a spatial reference for your datasets.  My experience with this was rather frustrating, but in the end, it did what I needed it to.  Perhaps they have updated the tool by now. ...

Here is the quick start guide for enterprise in 10.1.  http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/quick-start-guides/10.1/index.html#//01q100000008000000 Not sure what differences would exist with the 10.2 version.  We set up the LGIM in an enterprise database in an SQL environment using 10.1.  If you have any questions about it, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.  Andrew ...

This would is an excellent idea, and I would also like to see toolbar functionality implemented for viewing and changing line direction.  I've implemented our addessing system based off of vector route measurement, so it would be great to quickly view this instead of starting an edit session or changing symbology ...

Hello Brian, Just to clarify, are you having issues getting both basemaps to show up in your application?  If so, the issue might lie in how you cached your own basemap.  In order for these two cached services to run side by side, they need to use the same tiling scheme. To check this, you can open up both REST endpoints (ESRI's cached basemap service and your own cached basemap), and compare the details found under "Tile Info:".  These need to match.  When publishing my own cached basemaps to work with ESRI cached basemaps, I always select "ArcGIS Online/Bing Maps/Google Maps" for the tiling scheme. This seems to match up with what ESRI uses, and makes the basemaps usable together. I've attached a jpg showing where to set this in the service editor. Hope this helps[ATTACH=CONFIG]29487[/ATTACH] ... View more

This is exactly what I was thinking now that I have my windows docked in arcmap.  It is very frustrating when I need to switch to layout view, but my TOC is hiding the button!  Thanks ktroutman, for suggesting this.   ... View more

Thanks for the response, Duane.  I couldn't get that workflow to work for me, so I ended up just deleting my queries on the Shape fields.  Makes my basemap look slightly sloppier, but it gets me past the bug. ... View more

Duane, Not to resurrect an old thread, but I just wanted to confirm that I am have encountered this same issue as well.  Up until now, I have been publishing our local gov basemaps  from a file gdb.  We have since moved it to an enterprise database to help make the updating process a little easier.  Since trying to publish the basemaps from the sde database, I have come across the same errors with the geometry queries on the SHAPE.STArea and SHAPE.STLength fields.  I do find it odd that ESRI included these queries in their basemaps, and never came across the bug before release.  Surely they must have tested in an enterprise environment? Did you ever find a satisfactory workaround? Thanks, Andrew ... View more
