I'm trying to setup a geodata service and use it as a means for 2-way geodatabase replication.  I don't have any problem creating the geodata service from a versioned SDE geodatabase.  However, I haven't been able to create a replica geodatabase and I'm not entirely sure why. My goal is to publish a geodata service from a SDE gdb which other entities can use to create a 2-way replica and we can sync our edits back and forth...so as to have a common dataset for editing.  Unless I'm mistaken, this should be doable...? I have the following questions about the workflow and was wondering if anyone has experience using a similar approach and could explain their methods? 1) When publishing the geodata service, do you use a versioned connection or a connection to the DEFAULT version?  Are there any permissions needed by the user the service is published from other than being able to edit the dataset? 2) What tool in ArcToolbox do you use to create the replica (Create Replica or Create Replica From Server)?  Or is there an alternate workflow for creating the replica through ArcMap? 3) Are there any necessary permissions within SDE that I'm overlooking? Environment: 1) SDE = 10.1 2) ArcGIS Server = 10.3 3) RDBMS = SQL Server 2008 R2 Thanks in advance! ... View more

We have certain datasets that have a XY resolution that makes no sense: 0.000053551048115 ft.  We are trying to migrate our data to a new database which has default settings for the XY resolution and tolerance, which is: 0.000328083333333 ft. Using the Upgrade Spatial Reference tool doesn't work because our existing XY resolution is more precise than the default.  Is there a way to change/alter an existing spatial reference to a lower precision? Thanks in advance! ... View more

I'm wondering if it's possible to create a script that loops through an ArcGIS Server REST API query in order to retrieve all features contained within the layer? For example, I have a query created that returns the expected results, but it only returns 1000 records...the default value set when publishing the service.  Is it possible to loop through the next 1000 records, and the next 1000 records after that until I have all the features within that layer? Thanks in advance! ... View more

I have just placed my first app on our test server using the Web AppBuilder Dev Edition (1st full release, not beta) and went to print from the app.  Print looks good and I saved it to my desktop.  When I try to open the PDF I get an error, which is shown below.  I am using Google Chrome as my browser of choice.  I have noticed that if I try saving the PDF a second time it seems to work. If I try using IE and do the exact same thing...print to PDF, save to desktop, the PDF opens fine. Is there a reason saving the PDF from Chrome is a little 'off'...? ... View more

Our locators are showing as tables, not as locators.  I don't know how this happened or what triggered it.  Even if I try creating a new address locator, it gets created as a table. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any ideas what the cause is? System details: 1) SDE = 10.1 2) Desktop = 10.3 3) RDBMS = SQL Server 2008 R2 sp1 64bit ... View more

I'm not the greatest at decoding python, so I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me if the following Esri tutorial can be applied to multiple map document templates?  For example, I already have a print geoprocessing service created that has multiple templates to choose from.  Is there a way to get this script to apply over all those templates?...or does it work with a single map document? Thanks! Basic High Quality Web Map Printing Tutorial ... View more

Does anyone have a good workflow for replicating data to another geodatabase that contains attachments?  I realize using a distributed geodatabase would work, but that will only work for versioned enterprise data...and we have some enterprise data that is non-versioned. I have only just started looking for solutions and the only one I've found that works so far is using the Copy tool which when you copy the parent feature class, the attachments are copied as well.  The downside I've found with this is that data doesn't seem to want to copy into a dataset that doesn't have the same spatial reference...so copying to the root of the geodatabase works, but not to a dataset with a different spatial reference. Thanks for any ideas! ... View more
