I have tried with the same MapService on both 10.0 and 10.1.  For some of them on 10.1, I had to edit the service, and tell it to load dynamically, then restart service, then edit again and tell it to cache and point it at the existing cache folder. Now, I get the same results regardless of the server/version I am calling from at least with FV2.5, 3.1 and 3.3) none of which is appending an extention on there.

Dustin, With python and ArcGIS, I have found that it is normally best to execute all python scripts (at least scheduled ones) from a batch file. this way, once it is done with that particular script, since it was spawned in a separate python instance, it will then relsease all the "cryptic" locks it puts on the data and can move on to the next script. So, if I have many scripts to run, I make one python script with a bunch of os.system(batchfilename) calls, will run the script, close the process, and move on. each batch file is similar to : cd C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1 Python C:\arcgisserver\python\finish.py pause Exit Which sets the path to the python version I want to use, then executes the finish.py script, then exits when done. To schedule, I just use the windows scheduled tasks (task scheduler in Win 7) to run it on a nightly/weekly basis. The "pause" in red I normally REM out, but is nice when developing so it doesn't just close the window down if it encounters an error. R_ Instead of the windows scheduler, I have used pyCRON in the past as well. Works like CRON on 'IX systems. ... View more

Dustin, I have a similar workflow, with photos stored in BLOB fields and one to potentially many photos per feature.  The attachemnts feature doesn't really support 1:many so I have a python script that extracts the jpeg photos from the blob and saves them in a folder.  As it is writing the blobs, I capture the path and filename that I am saving them to (as well as my feature ID) and append to a list, then at the end of my script, I insertCursor the list to populate a FGDB table.  Now I not only have the jpeg stored local in a folder, I also have a ready-made table with all my paths ready to join/calculate to the feature class data that can be used for my link field. Of course, I had to make a virtual directory on the server pointing to the folder I saved all my jpegs in, then had to go into IIS and, for that virtual folder, allow directory browsing as I often have many photos per site (if just one photo, my "path" actually points to the jpeg file, if more than one, it points to the folder. This was kind of cluttery, especially for the sites with multiple photos, as IE doesn't give thumbnail views, so, all you see is a list of the somewhat cryptic filenames, and need to click on each photo to view it. So, I took it one step farther.  After my python script extracts and saves the jpegs from the BOLBs, writes the "lookup table", joins/calculates the URL info to my feature class, it then runs a slightly modified version of pyGallery.  This creates a gallery for my photos similar to ( http://pygallery.sourceforge.net/samples/ ).  So now, if there is one photo, my popup says "Click for Photo", and it takes you direclty to the image viewed in a browser.  If there are more than one image, it says "Click for Photos", and if you click, it will take you to the index/thumbnail gallery page for that feature, with all the photos. So far, not only the best way I've came up with for BLOBs, but also for one:many photos in Flex. In case this gives you some ideas, R_ ... View more

I don't do mobile, but FLEX has issues accessing a local folder.  You normally need to set up a virtual directory on your server that points to the folder you are saving the jpegs in.  You can then access them using the URL in the flex viewer. R_ ... View more

Julie, You should be able to click the Validate All button, and it will convert the question mark(s) to a green checkmark for all that are successfully registered. As far as the warning when publishing the service, just ignore it.  It will let you publish the service with warnings, just not with errors and should work fine in searchwidget. What is the format of table you are using?  FGDB, SDE, oracle table/view, etc?  If you add it to ArcMap as an event theme, do you get a warning about the table not having an Object-ID field? R_ ...

Julie, You need to start server manager and log into the server (generally http://localhost:6080/arcgis/manager/index.html). Then, click on the "Site" tab in upper right, click "Data Store" tab on left, There you will see the two options to "Register Database" and "Register Folder". Keep in mind that this sometimes has the normal AGS "quirks".  I have had to register a few of them multiple times before it finally "stuck".  Once they stuck, have not had to re-do it for months now. R_ Ok, just remembered a "cheat".  Make you ArcMap project in 10.1 and "Share as Service".  Go through the steps, and when it analyzes it, if the data source is not registered, it will give you an error that "Layer's data source must be registered with the server".  Right-click on that error message, and select "Register Data Source With Server", give it a name and it should work. Also, remember the account running the AGS (not the current user) needs to have access to the data source, otherwise, you won't be able to register it. ... View more

I am unable to reproduce your issue. I am using FV 3.1 for now and have tested this using the built in SearchWidget and the eSearchWidget 3.1.13.  Both are searching my event themes repeatedly and working fine I even tried publishing on version 10 as well as 10.1 and, everything is working fine.  (You need to register your datasource in 10.1 to publish an event theme to a service). R_ Have tested using both an Oracle table and a FGDB table, both work for me. ... View more

Joe, "Tiles" are pre-rendered in the spatial reference of the service and can't be on the fly projected, so if using tiled services, they all need to be in the same wkid. whatever wkid the map is in is what the coordinate tool displays on mouse over. I have all the base civil layers for my area, and imagery for several years that I have created my own basemaps with. I also download the NAIP imagery, convert to my SR and publish as a service.  This way, "most" of my basemaps are all in my State Plane coordinate system, and thus, that is the real time coordinates displayed by coordinate widget. I do on occasion have the need to load someone elses service as one of my basemap options that is in a different wkid.   I have to load it as type="dynamic", otherwise the "tiles" are in the wrong location.  This makes it load slower than it would tiled, but it works. Seems I remeber a thread about programatically changing wkid on basemap switch in order to use different tiled basemaps in the same FV app, but even then, the coordinates displayed would be of the "current" wkid. Other than that, the only way I know to "cheat" is to set your SR in ArcMap to your local, load the service that you need (that is in different wkid) and save map, then right click in ArcCatalog and publish to service (not supported as msd).  Then, if you load that service into your FV, it will see it as your local SR, but will be slower to load.  However, if you are running AGS 10.1, you don't have this option, version 10 is that last one that lets you publish service as mxd.

Joe, Just so that you are clear, if your map is in your wkid, then the coordinates diplayed by the coordinate widget will be in your map wkid system. I'm guessing that you are using ESRI or Bing basemaps so your wkid is being set to web mercator? If you don't need the ESRI basemaps and have basemaps of your own, set it to use them and you will get the coordinates that you want.   You could still load ESRI basemaps if needed, but only as dynamic, which slows them down quite a bit. In case this helps, R_ ... View more

Looking now, I see the compiled version does have a default.htm as well as a index.html. Not sure how they would be different unless you did use a differnt index.html as in my compiled version, the contents of these two files are exactly the same. However, in order to help avoid the "confusion" in the future, maps.sanbag.ca.gov/flexviewer/?config=BikePlan.xml will work just fine for your alternate config files.  you don't need the index.html in there for it to load from a separate config.

I'm not sure how/where to tell flashbuilder to build an index.html instead of a default.html, but none of my projects even have a default.html, just the index.html. You may try deleting your project from the server and re-export a release build again and see if it writes a correct index.html file without the "issue", especially since that is higher in the default document lists.
