With the upcoming release of ArcGIS Pro and the eventual retirement of Desktop and ArcObjects does it make more sense to start new customizations in python or continue to use ArcObjects/addins for the time being? I have a new project about to start that will involve a custom toolbar for desktop with about 10 custom editing tools. Previously I have always carried out such a project in .NET and ArcObjects. But now I wonder: Is the functionality now there to do this in python (At arcgis 10.1)? If I continue to use ArcObjects what is a resonable expectation on the toolbar life expectancy? The current editing environment is ArcGIS desktop 10.1 and is likely to stay that way for the next 1 - 2 years.

setup: Main server: SDE 10.2 SQL Server on our own network. Parent replica and tools run from here. Destination server: Amazon web server running ArcGIS Server & SDE 10.2 SQL Server. Child replica lives here. Accessed through a geodata service Getting an unusual error trying to sync replica changes from a replica change file to a replica using a geodata service. I generated the change file no problem using the same geodata service but when I use it in the "Import Replica Schema" geoprocessing tool the job fails with an error that says "request entity too large". Google searches show a similar Apache error to do with max upload file size but this change file is very modest 52 kb. Has anybody come across something similar? One thing of note the web service is an Amazon AWS server and it is a 2 way replica. For the moment I'm going to try to copy the change file to the web server and run the import from there but long term I need to set up batch jobs that test for and import schema changes. Any help/ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Did this problem ever get resolved? We are using 10.2.2 and having the same problem with web tier windows authentication. It is definitely a show stopper. In our case we were getting this error but with server tier authentication. Our problem was that the account that was entered to connect to and query AD was getting its password locked every 2 months per ITs security policy. We changed this account to not have its password expire and reran the security setup functionallity in ArcServer manager and the problem hasn't reappeared.

thanks, this helped me get the cert we needed from the IT Dept.

W... We still had trouble with enabling https:// on this new instance. In ArcGIS Server Manager, after enabling "HTTP and HTTPS", the machine would automatically reset to "HTTP Only." ..... Ran into this same problem on an EC2 instance. For us it was every couple of days that ArcServer would reset itself to use "HTTP only" when it had been"HTTP and HTTPS". The work around I used was to set access to "HTTPS only" and then it stayed on.

Hi Drew, What do you mean by : "using a proxy page instead of using a token directly "? I use a proxy too in order to avoid typing the user & password but I cannot print any map with secured layers. Have you succeeded? Thanks, Miri I set up a proxy page using the esri proxy page code sample found on github. I then added both the print service and the secured map service to my flex app making sure to point the .Proxy property of each service to the proxy page I had just set up. This enabled me to remove the .Token property from the map service. When I did this the print task worked. FYI more info on the bug here

AM savaadaisu Thanks for you input. I eventually went with using a proxy page instead of using a token directly and this solved my problems. Hope this helps others.

Thanks for your help Jean. Your post helped me figure it out. I didn't run QT Creator from the command line. The original project I created still gave the error but when I created a new project from the template it got passed the error. I'm assuming the correct libs were now added to the .pro file. I did however run into another similar error at this line: #include gl/gl.h After some research I found out that because I'm running Ubuntu as a VM the graphics drivers for OpenGL are not installed as standard. The fix was to add certain libraries. This post describes what is needed and this was the command I used sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev libglui-dev binutils-gold packaging-dev build-essential I don't think all these libs are needed but this is what worked for me. I'm adding all of this in case it helps others

Hello Using Ubuntu 12.4. I've installed the QT runtime SDK and QT creator 5.2.2, the latest ESRI QT runtime SDK for Linux and followed the installation instructions. Installation went fine and I was able to open the ESRI sample project. However when I try to compile it I get an error at the first include statement referencing am esri header file. So for example "#include map.h" gives the error "map.h not found". So how do I reference the ESRI runtime files in QT creator? I'm new to QT and developing on a Linux environment so I'm probably missing something obvious. Any help greatly appreciated.

Yeah if you can see the rest endpoints from an external client then I would think the reverse proxy is set up correctly. I'm confused about the nav panel, address search etc you say you can see. Are these javascript elements? You could try creating a very simple web page with a single basemap. Something like the attached zip file in this example Change the tiledMapServiceLayer to look at your own basemap and see if it draws. This might help identify if the problem is ArcServer or network based.

What web api are you using? I see both dojo and .aspx in the links. Is the rest endpoint reachable from outside your network?. The reverse proxy server needs to have some very specific rules set up to correctly filter requested the the ArcGIS server rest/soap endpoints.

Adding my experience with this in case it helps anyone or anyone knows of a workaround running ArcGIS Server 10.1 Flexview app using a secured dynamic service. Unsecured print service When a long lived token for the dynamic layer is added to the flex viewer config.xml the print service does not work. Error message is: Error executing tool.: Layer "Map Features": Unable to connect to map server at http://<server>:6080/arcgis/rest/services/Secured/FIRM/MapServer?token=KrGwxThrMRtL-K9O6kCnJggy1qSe3EAdyTCMtIxsPFxto6eSj.......... When no token is added to the config file and a user is forced to log in when the app loads then printing occurs normally.

Started getting a similar error yesterday but we are using AD authentication not LDAP. The arcserver install has been running fine for about 2 months then suddenly yesterday users could not log in. Problem lasted about 2 hours and then resolved itself. I checked the logs and found this error repeated for every failed login: Failed to validate user credentials for the user 'xxxx'. <ip address of server>:389; socket closed. Happened again this morning but is running fine now. Anybody have any ideas? Arcserver 10.1 SP1 on windows server 2008

You might also accomplish this with the append tool in modelbuilder or script it out in python.

Replication uses versions to control changes but these versions are hidden and the names change continually behind the scenes when replicas are synced. Writing code to compare these can get tricky because you need your code to test for the current hidden replica parent version name. What way are you replicating? If changes are pushed from child to parent you could make a child version off of SDE.Default in the parent geodatabase (e.g. call it ReplicaSource) . Then make the replica using this version, ReplicaSource, as the parent. Now when replicas are synced changes will go to the ReplicaSource version in the parent SDE database and not SDE.Default. So you can use the well documented ArcObjects classes to compare versions, ReplicaSource to SDE.Default, instead of having to compare replicas. Archiving might also work but it will not tell you what version created what feature, it will only tell you when a feature was created or changed.
