Hi Kelly, Thank you for the information.  We do use web tier authentication but it seems like our reasons for why have changed.  I plan to switch to token and see if the issue is resolved. Best, Brandon ... View more

Hi Francisco, If you export out the routes as a feature class or shapefile you can perform an identify.  This will take the attributes from the states layer and add it to the sections of your routes that fall within the states boundary.  You can then summarize the data how you would like to.

Sorry, Also meant to include this link to the documentation.  They do a great job of explaining the differences and they have pictures.  Very helpful. ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Hi Francisco, Do you want the distance to be able to be seen or just have the distance in the attributes.  The OD Cost matrix and closest facility analysis are similar but the main differences are in performance time (OD is faster for large matrices) and in returning the true shape (OD does not, closest facility does).  So depending on your goals you may want to look at closest facility. Regardless you can have access to the attributes you need in either analysis.  If you look at your data I expect you will find that the numbers in Origin ID correspond to the object ids of the data loaded into the origin and the numbers in Destination ID similarly correspond to the OID's of the destination data.  There should also be a name field that has (Origin ID - Destination ID) and if you didn't specify a name field when you loaded the data it will just be the object ids ( 1-2, 2-1, etc.)  But if you add a name attribute when you load data it will show you the names rather than OIDs (Minnesota-California, California-Minnesota, etc).  I've attached a screenshot of an analysis setup I did with the name field populated and the resulting attribute table. Let me know if I can be of more help. Best, Brandon ... View more

Hi Francisco, I'm away from the data right now but I'll post back tomorrow.  I had a lot more luck with my analysis once I added the name attribute when I was loading data. Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Thanks Tim, Which version of firefox works for you?  Do you know which security settings are to blame? Best, Brandon ... View more

Thanks Robert, I like the looks of the LocalLayerWidget.  Slightly disappointing that WAB doesn't support operational layers in the same way but not entirely surprising.  Our reasoning for wanting to have the operational layers is to not have to purchase additional named user accounts.  Is there another way to accomplish this without going the whole way to a completely custom Javascript app?  We have our ArcGIS Server tied into AGOL using ADFS.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris, Do you have any examples of using Selenium and Python to test arcgis services?  I've done a fair amount in Python but would be completely new to Selenium.  We've also been looking into system test as a method to have our "non-programming" publishers be able to test services they publish. Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Hi Owen, We have been using the analyze functionality and I've learned a lot that way.  But now we're looking for ways to know when we've improved a service's performance.  If I get some good feedback outside of this post I'll try to bring it here as well.  I have a number of feelers out Thanks, Brandon ...

Hi Robert, Thanks for the reply!  I will give this a try and let you know how it goes.  Is the MapManager.js_processMapOptions function usually in the same file?  Also, your response brings up another question we've had regarding WAB.  We've been using it to jumpstart our application building as well as for our users who aren't as skilled in pure javascript.  But for one of our main applications we'd like to run completely off of our ArcGIS Server and aren't sure how we would use operational layers like we have in the past for flex applications.  Can you give me any guidance on this?

We run a large map production process that uses a combination of data driven pages and python.  We have an attribute for our index grid called "PrintMap" that is 1 if yes or 0 if no.  I use SelectLayerByLocation_management to find grids that aren't empty and then an update cursor to set the "PrintMap" field to 1.  I agree with Darren that I don't think there is an out of the box method similar to DS map book.  What kind of data are you using?  We operate with an SDE that uses the ST_Geometry data type which allows us to create spatial definition queries.  Essentially we can have it show only index grids that intersect another layer and then run the data driven pages that way.  The Select by location method produces the same results.

Hi Francisco, When you load data into the incident and facility layers it is possible to make the name follow an attribute in the data.  This would allow you to see what "Facility 2" actually is. Regarding the state data analysis I need a little more information.  Are you saying you're losing attribute data when you bring it into Strata?  Without understanding all of your workflow I would say you could export your route analysis as a new layer and then identify using the state layer.  You could then summarize the length of the route that passes through each state.  If you can describe the issue a little more I can try to get you more specifics.
