Justin, Thanks for your suggestion. There is an error message (which I forgot what it is) at the end of removal of the machine from the site. But the machine was successfully (or not?) deleted from the site because when I started up ArcGIS Server manager, the login window did not startup.  Instead, it asked me to Create a new site or Join an existing site. For the second step, I can't create new site with the existing config-store, directories, and log folder setting. It always told me that the site is used. I can't make the original server machine back to the site, too. Since it is messed up, my final solution is to uninstall ArcGIS Server and reinstall ArcGIS Server.  After that, I can join the second machine into the existing site. Then, I have to reconfigure/start all the services. Thanks again. Mike Thank you for the reply. This means that the NTFS Permissions are correct, and you have network connectivity. The next test I would suggest you do is tor remove the current machine from the site, and then connect this machine to the site. Please note that this will require downtime. This test will see if it is an issue adding the machine, or if it adding a second machine that is the issue. Here  are the steps: 1. Log into server manager on the currently working machine a. navigate to site/machines b. Click the "X" that is associated with the machine name   -- Note: What this will do is remove the machine from the site. This means it will remove the machine from the config store and the directories. All of your configuration will still be there, and we will be able to reconnect it after the test is complete. 2. After the machine is removed, navigate to the second machine a. Instead of join an existing site, select create new site b. When prompted, point to the existing config store and directories --Note: This will not overwrite any existing configurations. You should simply be able to connect to the config store and directories. If this works, then try to connect your other server to this by joining the site. If that doesn't work, then we have discovered there is an issue connecting the second machine If this doesn't work, then there is an issue connecting this machine to the config store/directories. To clean up simply go to the original machine and select create  new site, point to the config store and directories to put things back as they were. Please let me know the results- Justin ...

Yes, sir. The ArcGIS Server account, domainname\arcgis, has full control of the folder. [ATTACH=CONFIG]23171[/ATTACH] Thanks, Have you set also NTFS privileges for user arcgis? ... View more

Robert and Ivan, Thanks for the replies. I have found that the isEditable property of my FeatureLayer variable is false. Is this the reason of my problem? Since this property is readonly, what should I do if I need to make it true? Thanks, Xiannian Xiannian,  Just like Ivan mentioned non nullable attributes. No you do not need to populate the OID or GlobalID fields. Not sure what problem you are having as I do editing this way all the time. ... View more

Robert, Thanks for the reply. What do you mean all required attributes? The attributes I attached to the Graphic variable is the direct copy of the field list of my feature class which is stored in a Workgroup SDE database. OK, except the ObjectID and GlobalID fields. Do I need to populate some numerical value for this field? Also, the FeatureServer service that I am using works fine in ArcGIS.com. Without editing any attributes in ArcGIS.com platform, I can add new features into the same layer which I am using in the ArcGIS Flex API environment. Thanks again, Xiannian Xiannian,  Make sure you are passing graphics with all required attributes (as Ivan Mentioned) as an array.  If it is a single graphic use code like this (all the items in red are required):  FeatureLayer.applyEdits([ptGraphic],null,null,true,null); ...

Thank for the reply. Basically, that is what my understanding. I have done like this. That confirms that I am on the right direction. But, so far, no any success yet. I successfuly creates the graphic array based on the xml file.  Then, I have the program called the addFeatureArrayToFeatureLayer function. I created two event listners. But the EDITS_COMPLETE listner never return me anything while EDITS_STARTING listener does give me feedbacks. And I don't know what's going after I called the method of ApplyEdits() function. ArcGIS Server Manager log section has no further information. I have tested my fecture service on ArcGIS.com. I can add features to the layer on ArcGIS.com. That means my feature service has no problem. Right? Thanks, main body { var fs:Array = new Array(); for each ( pt in pts) {   var graphic:Graphic = new Graphic(WebMercatorUtil.geographicToWebMercator(tweet.twtPoint));   graphic.attributes = {    "User": pt.AuthorName,    "ID": pt.Tid,    "XY": pt.LocationXY,    "Datetime": pt.PublishDate   };          fs.push(graphic); } addFeatureArrayToFeatureLayer(fs);      } protected function addFeatureArrayToFeatureLayer(fs:Array):void { var fLayer:FeatureLayer = new FeatureLayer("http://url/arcgis/rest/services/myMap/myService/FeatureServer/0"); fLayer.addEventListener(FeatureLayerEvent.EDITS_COMPLETE,addFeatureDone); fLayer.addEventListener(FeatureLayerEvent.EDITS_STARTING,addFeatureStarting); fLayer.applyEdits(fs,null,null); } private function addFeatureStarting(e:FeatureLayerEvent):void { Alert.show("Starting"); } private function addFeatureDone(e:FeatureLayerEvent):void { Alert.show("Succeed"); } Parse xml (the ArcGIS Flex Viewer is a big sample of how to do it) Create MapPoints from readed data Create array of Graphics with created geometries and required(not nullable) attributes applyEdits() ...

Hi, Jake, Thanks for the reply. It does work after I patched ArcGIS Desktop. Also, the patch makes the whole process faster, much faster. Thanks, Xiannian Try installing Service Pack 1 and see if you receive the same error. If you do, try recreating the mosaic dataset in a new File Geodatabase, and then try creating your overviews. ...

Jake, thanks for the reply. 1. ArcGIS 10.1. No Service Pack. 2. I am using File-based Geodatabase. 3. I have tried your suggestion. The same error happens again. It even pops up a crash window. The overview items include 1060. But ArcGIS crashes when generating 214th item. All of the 214 items have the same error message id-ed as 800042021. The attached image indicates that. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20123[/ATTACH] Thanks, Mike 1.  What version of ArcMap, including service packs, are you running?  Ex:  ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 2.  What type of geodatabase does your mosaic dataset reside in (i.e. File, Personal, SDE)? 3.  Try rebuilding the overviews with only the options 'Define Missing Overview Tiles' and 'Generate Overviews'.  Make sure the options 'Generate Missing Overview Tiles' and 'Regenerate Stale Overview Tiles are unchecked. ...

From operation system perspective, your deleted files should be still in the Recycle Bin. The regular DELETE will not permanently delete files but move the files to the Recycle Bin. ... View more

Robert, Thanks for the clue. It works. Good job. Mike ... View more
