Is it possible to remove an ArcGIS Server user account through a python script?  I have a secured service that I'd like certain users to only have access to for a certain period of time and then remove their access.  Rather than trying to remember to remove their account, I was hoping it would be possible to create a python script which could be used with Task Scheduler to schedule a time for the script to run and remove the user. With the REST admin having an API, I'm hoping this is possible, but am not really sure where to start. Thanks in advance! ... View more

I'm trying to alter the query widget search expression to convert the input value to all upper case and the search input to all upper case.  Even though there is a 'caseSensitive' parameter in the widget and it's set to false, my query will only work if using all caps. For example, 935 2nd st sw will NOT work; while 935 2ND ST SW will work. Below is a screenshot of the expression values I'm trying to get to work, but still don't. Any input would be appreciated! ...

I'm looking for opinions/options for how to best rebuild cache on our production server services.  What I would like to do is rebuild the cache on a staging server and then copy the cache over to the production services.  I have a python script that will do this but it seems to be hit and miss on when it works.  The main hang-up on when it fails seems to be because it can't remove a .bundle file. Does anyone know what causes a lock on a .bundle file?  As part of my script I stop the map service before copying over the cache.  Is this not enough?...does the entire ArcGIS Server service need to be stopped? Is it better/more likely to not have any incidents if I just rebuild the cache on the production server?  The main reason I don't want to do this is to keep the computer resources available (CPU/RAM) on our production machine.  Rebuilding cache usually sucks up most of the available CPU and RAM which is why I am trying to rebuild the cache on a staging server then copy over. Just wondering what others have tried and had success with. Thanks in advance!! ... View more

I am pulling over data from another SQL Server database which has some nvarchar(max) fields.  When I try to load these fields into a SDE feature class (SQL Server) with the data type nvarchar(max) they are not being displayed correctly, all that's displayed in the attribute table is 1 character. Is there a db_tune setting that needs to be changed in order for nvarchar(max) fields to display correctly in the attribute table?  If so, how would I go about changing it? Thanks in advance! ...

We have recently migrated to a new ArcGIS Server which is configured to use https.  Upon migrating our apps over, some of them no longer work because the app is being loaded over https, but certain css files or js files are being requested over http, and thus are being blocked.  Attached is a screenshot of the developer tools window when trying to load one of our apps. This particular app uses the Esri Story Map Countdown app template. Can this be easily fixed or is this something our IT needs to fix in order to allow certain values over http? Thanks in advance! ... View more
