Hello We develop a GP service that is based on python script. The python script call an exe file that use some ArcObjects functionality that does not exists within arcpy (very limited functionality). Is there any problem with this configuration? Do we break any license agreement? The exe is running on the same machine as the GP service. Are we going to have any problems with parallel calls to the gp service? Thanks ... View more

Hello We have a problem with saving MXD's We create a MXD based on local FGDB layers. There are some group layers in it. We save it to the desktop without any error messages. We close ArcMap and reopen with the saved MXD. Only the group layers exist. All other layers are gone. The layers does not have red exclamation mark, they are just not in the mxd. Any idea? Thanks Mody ... View more

We are opening ArcMap from a different process using the AppROT interface. Then we run a class within ArcMap that create toolbars, add layers and does some other stuff. The class is called from AppROT but is running within ArcMap to save the marshaling. The class finished successfully. The toolbars exists in ArcMap. The layers that were added appear in the TOC but are not visible in the map. Trying to refresh or turn on/off layers did not help. The only solution is to save the MXD and reopen it – then everything looks fine. It looks like the problem is somehow refresh the ActiveView. Any ideas? Thanks ... View more

One of the options of the license server is to transfer permanently licenses from one server to another. You need to give the server name, the EFL of the license you need and the number of licenses and the licenses are moving permanently to local icense server. It is working but I get errors in some cases. I can get one Standard license and 10 3D licenses from machine A to B. When I try to get 2 (or any number different then 1) Standard licenses and 10 #D I get an error. There are no detailed error messages. Anybody run into this problem? Thanks Mody ... View more

Hello all When you use query in WAB you get an option to limit the selection to the current extent or any polygon. I could not find any way to do the same for geoprocessing service. For example I would like to buffer just lines in the current extent. Is there any way to add this option in the service or in WAB? Thanks Mody ... View more

We have a strange problem with display selection set in ArcMap. On some machines with some layers when the selection set have more features it is not displayed. For example we have a polygon layer with 2000 features in ArcSDE. When we select less than 150 it works. When it is more features it is not displayed. The status line at the bottom say 200 feature selected. When open the attribute table it say 200 features selected and show them highlighted in the table. Zoom to select works. If you do identify box on these 200 features and move them to select – it works!! The same problem exists with select by attribute and selection above 150 features is not displayed. The same layer in FGDB works fine. On some other machines the same layer works. On the same machine some other layers works or the number of features you can select is different then 150. It looks like drawing the selected is the only problem all other functionality on the selected works. Any ideas? Thanks Mody ... View more

Hello all We run into a strange case, I would like to know if any of you seen it. Some MXD's was stayed open over night. There was some network problems during the night. In the morning some people find there MXD's in Layout mod without any layers and all the toolbars was off. If they exit ArcMap without save the MXD still reopened without any layers and in Layout mode. The MXD size looks correct (over 4Mb for big MXD's). Does ArcMap has any automatic save? What can couse this? Trying to run MXDoctor did not show any layers too. Thanks Mody ... View more
