I don't know much about SDE, but I think the standard order is Desktop, Server, then SDE.  And I believe you can just use Desktop aand SDE. Yes that is the correct order. Regarding your Desktop-SDE combo, are you using ArcSDE 'personal' edition? ... View more

I am using Server for ArcGIS 10.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2. The Rest Services Directory shows no services at the root level (the SampleWorldCities is actually present but not shown in the directory).  The Directory also does not list the folders that are present.  If I type a folder name in the URL and refresh, then the services in that folder are shown. This is not a problem in ArcCatalog or ArcGIS Server Manager.  What could be the solution? I'm guessing you're using the web adaptor? I'm not an expert here, but i'd be curious to know if your current website is configured to allow anonymous browsing. Edit: are the services in your Root directory started? I dont think they will appear in the REST Services directory unless they are started. Edit2: are your services & directories secured? ... View more

Hi there, by QFE i'm going to guess you're referring to Quick Fix Engineering.  (Although Quest for Excellence seems to be viable here as well!) For ESRI, you'll have a better time searching for words like 'bug', 'NIM', 'Fix', 'Service Pack', etc. But specficially, you are likely looking for an ESRI Patch. I'd try here, and let me know if that worked for you: http://support.esri.com/en/downloads/patches-servicepacks http://blogs.esri.com/esri/supportcenter/2012/06/28/important-patches-for-arcgis-10-1-released/ ...

Concurrent editing over WEB by ArcGIS Server (Standard/workgroup), I�??m not sure if the published mxd with the �??feature access�?� options can by edited OVER THE WEB with only 10 users in case of ArcSDE WORKGROUP. In this case, if the 11th user tries to edit (over web), what message will appear? Thank you very much Best Jamal Jamal, since you are referring to ArcSDE Workgroup (SQL Express), please refer to this post and let me know if it answers your question. What I was told direct from ESRI is here: (R)egarding the questions about number of web connections and editing �?? ArcGIS for Server Workgroup supports unlimited server connections of any type. However, if you want to scale editing via a feature service to a large number of users, Workgroup�??s limitations of 1GB RAM and 1 CPU may present a challenge. I wouldn�??t suggest implementing web editing against ArcGIS Server for Workgroup based on what I understand you�??re trying to accomplish. ... View more

I can't reproduce this (I'm responsible for testing NIM087822 and assigning to a developer). If you have a minute can you look at the attached word doc. Is there anything you've done differently compared to my workflow? If there is indeed a bug here (as I've done something differently than you), I'd like to get it addressed for the next service pack. However that window is quickly closing so any information you can provide would be great. The analyst was able to reproduce this. The there is no warning that the data will be copied to the server; the sde connection file is not copied to the server, an extract of the SDE data is copied to the server arcgisinput directory as a fGDB. Permissions are set for the local arcgis account (i even reset the password to all arcgis accounts to be sure this wasn't an issue); and i tried both registering the db server directly, the SDE connection file as you show, moving the SDE connection file to several different physical locations to see if registering it then would return different results etc etc. I looked from the SQL mgt studio side of things with the analyst too to ensure the local account was being used correctly by SQL Express and still no luck. Perhaps you can contact the analyst who worked on this, we spent several weeks trying to diagnose this so he probably has extensive notes. My suspicion had been that there was an environment setting error, but the analyst did not believe that was the case. The tool worked fine locally, and if we modified the published tool on the server to use the correct data sources it would work then, but as i recall, only work when consumed via a web application, not desktop. ...

[#NIM087822  GP service using feature class from sql express workgroup sde will have data copied to the server even the gdb was registered with server data store. ] [#NIM087819  Feature service shows no editable layer error when the feature class was from workgroup sde (sqlexpress) with OS authentication ] That is right, it basically makes feature service not editable when using sql express in server 10.1. This is rather profound IMO. ... View more

Any other ESRI staff want to take a shot at this? its been weeks now and I still dont have an answer from the escalated incident. ... View more

UPDATE: soo another phone session this afternoon, and tried many things before that. Here's what i've got so far: No matter how hard I try, when publishing a GP service the data copies to the server When you review the published copy of the model on the server it refrences the server's copy of the data You can modify the model to reference the correct SDE connection to your feature classes and restart the service and it will work correctly The only way the modified GP service will work is against a map service referencing the same SDE features; if you try the published GP service against the local connection to the SDE data, it completes without warning and no results are depicted/appended. This was replicated via executing the GP task at REST; if the feature being accessed the task ran but produced no results; if no connections were active to the feature the rest service was able to write/append to the SDE FC just fine. I can publish a map service with feature access capabilities against the same data set and it publishes without copying any data just fine i can access the map service and run the gp service against it and it works just fine (see above) If I attempt to add the feature service from the TOC to an arcmap session it instantly crashes with no error If I expose the feature service via a web application it works fine (last I checked anyway) So this may need to be moved over to the arcgis server 10.1 forum. I dont know but i'm ready to just give up...it will be nearly a week since it was escalated and nearly 2 weeks since the initial problem was discovered and the incident was initiated. I'm just so completely at a loss. ... View more

No... it will only copy the data if it doesnt find a match in the datastore. If you can publish a map service and that data doesnt get copied, then the datastore is setup correctly. I've never heard anyone report this particular issue you're running into: not warned about data being copied, but then the data is copied. You said you logged a support incident? Whats the incident #? I want to look up the notes and see if anything stands out. sent you a PM ... View more

I can read till 'regardless'.....what a drag. ok, now with a 'real' browser i can read the rest of what Kevin posted. It seems to suggest that at 10.1 GP services copy data to the server no matter what? Even then, my problem is still with the published model. The output references that file gdb published to the server, not my SDE connection. ... View more

Kevin, trying to read more on the article you provided....can only see the top of the section you refrence. Sadly, my Droids browser never let's me scroll down on ESRI help entries....and only ESRI help entries....no other site....oh well. ... View more

Yes, same service and same location, same sde db all publish as map and feature services.....the exact same data! The gp publishes, no warning of copying data, but it does! copy the data to the server and modifies the output of the model to that input directory. 2 weeks with tech support, escalated and still not working. Simple data set running against sde behaves the same way. ... View more

interesting. So for the heck of it, i changed my registered SQL Express DB connection information to just the name of the instance... without \sqlexpress I can see the correct gdb and it validates fine. Now i re-run my model and when i try to publish the results i'm warned about data getting copied to the server. still no joy. For the life of me, i cannot figure out why its copying the data...especially with no warning! ... View more
