Hi, We have designed ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.1 high availability solution with Web Adaptors and third-party load balancer. All servers are VMs. We need to document ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.1 fail-over scenarios and test all these scenarios prior to go-live to confirm the fail-over happens correctly. I have struggled to find any documentation on all fail-over scenarios but here is a list of fail-over test cases:  ArcGIS Portal Fail-over: Stop ArcGIS Portal Service on a Primary node. or Shutdown server hosting Primary ArcGIS Portal. or  Take the Primary ArcGIS Portal machine off the network. ArcGIS Server (2 machine site) Fail-over: Stop ArcGIS Server Service on one of the servers or Shutdown one of the Server hosting ArcGIS Server or Take one of the machine off the network. or Disjoin a machine from a site. ArcGIS Data Store Fail-over: Put the machine with Primary Data Store off the network or Make secondary Data Store primary. Are above scenarios correct for fail-over testing? Am I missing any scenario? There are some scenarios we cannot test e.g. disk crash. Thanks, Vish ... View more

Hi all, I am upgrading a water utility to ArcMap and Enterprise 10.6.1 from v10.2.1. Part of the upgrade process is to change the coordinate system of all the datasets. I wrote ArcPy code to perform in-place transformation to a new coordinate system. Core logic is; 1. Project all root feature classes and feature classes in the datasets to a temporary geodatabase with intended coordinate system. 2. Truncate all feature classes and datasets in the original workspace. 3. Change the spatial reference of the original workspace datasets and root feature classes to the intended coordinate system. 4. Append projected data from the temporary geodatabase classes back to source datasets and classes. This avoids dropping existing feature classes keeping all permissions etc same. And it seems to be working correctly. However, some of the datasets have geometric network and I am struggling to transform these. Most of the commands such as "project" etc do not work on feature classes that participate in the GN. I was hoping to export the geometric network, drop or disable the geometric network, change coordinate system of the datasets using above method and re-import or re-enable the geometric network. Unfortunately, there is no tool to export the geometric network with feature classes that participate in it, all connectivity rules and weights. Even arcpy.Describe does not give me the connectivity rules and weights so that I can write my own "rebuild" geometric network code. Is there any option to programmatically export and import/rebuild a geometric network.  Only link I can find is https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fa4e4cdd3bf64be7a1287fd1fd12e2f1  which seems to a arcmap 10.2 addin and there is no 10.6+ version for it. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks, Vish ... View more

Hi, I have a client who is implementing SQL Server Distributed Availability Group. What is a distributed availability groups - SQL Server Always On | Microsoft Docs  I just want to confirm if ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Server v10.7.x supports SQL Distributed Availability Group. According to Connections to highly available SQL Server databases—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  it does support the SQL Always-on Availability Group and there shouldn't be any reason why Distributed Availability Group is not supported. However, is this officially certified?  Thanks in advance. -Vish ... View more

Hi UNers, I have requirement with Utility Networks topology to validate the adds and updates with a third-party Enterprise Asset Management system. This includes injecting "asset id" for any new objects such as pipe etc from the EAM system. As I understand it, ArcGIS Pro will be calling applyEdits against the  FeatureServer. I was hoping to intercept it using SOI and apply the additional logic. Anyone attempted this? Another complication is; this needs to happen only when writing to a default Version or posting to a default version. Any other version, user may choose to discard it without posting.  Cheers, Vish ... View more

Hi, I have a query from a Water Distribution client I am building UN for. The client wants to flag the "storage unit" device as a "subnetwork controller" for System and Pressure tiers. However, some towns have multiple storage units and all are valid water sources for that town. Is there a way to flag multiple storage units as subnetwork controllers?  My understanding is validate and update subnetwork will flag this as a problem as a trace from one subnetwork controller (storage unit A) will lead to another subnetwork controller (storage unit B). Is there any workaround?   Thanks, Vish ... View more
