I am in the same boat on the older versions.  Just spent an hour looking for old 9.x and 10.0 ArcGIS books that may be still boxed from our last move.  No Data Stores on this version.  Only one MXD which pointing to non-existing links on another drive.  Lots of MSD files which I believe are Map Service Definition files. Yes, that is Kirito. I am a major "otaku" and SAO tops my list. ... View more

David 10.0 was before Portal if I understand correctly.  There are a couple of items we are hoping to recover from this old server that we are able to view when we have it up and running.  From my understanding, this was a standalone VM that was placed in a DMZ for public access.  I just happened to run across a backup image of the server saved to a DVD while going though some old GIS files. 1) There are installation date fields that were corrupted during a data migration years ago.  However, the feature service that was published on this old server, is displaying the correct information.  Somewhere on that server is the correct data. 2) There is an imagery map service on this server that was lost when there was a multiple drive failure on an old NAS unit.  Most likely what we are seeing is cashed tiles on the feature service and not the original data but that would be a lot better than nothing , if we can get to them.  We did find the cache folder but the folder and file names are cryptic.  The Cache for the map service can be exported but we need a connection string setup in desktop or catalog - Export Map Server Cache.  I found the instructions for exporting the cache tiles from a internal server and importing them onto the DMZ server using ArcCatalog along with the DVD but nothing on the connection strings.  The connections were already created on the server but we cannot open ArcInfo 10.0 on the system because we do not have a valid license available any longer. ...

Thanks Robert, spot on as usual. Before applying your CSS, I did notice if you refresh the browser and click on the map area before the basemap renders you can see the correct focus rectangle.  However, the basemap appears to be rendering on top of the focus rectangle despite its z-order being set to 999.  Can this be addressed similarly using CSS to correct? ...

Jamal, You should be able to specify a subset of the original bands with Composite Bands.  You may need to add each band to the tool or it may be in the Environment settings.  I do not have access to ArcGIS today to provide more details and I am doing this from memory.  You can also use Extract Bands Function (Desktop) or Extract Bands Function (Pro).

Good Morning Jamal‌, You should be able to use the Composite Bands Tool (Data Management) to create a raster dataset containing subset of the original raster bands.  I am currently working from a mobile platform so cannot create a walk through for you. Most applications, such as ArcGIS, only display 3 of the 4 bands at any one time with multi-band imagery.  Normally the 4 bands are based upon light wavelength of red, green, blue, and near Infrared or Infrared.  If you look at Landsat imagery there are typically 7 bands or hyperspectral image can have many more bands in discrete wavelength groups.  The default is to display RGB, typically bands 3, 2 & 1 but you can change this in your image settings depending upon what you are doing with your imagery.  For example, if you replace your red band with the near IR band, the image will look nearly the same but bodies of water will be very dark and easy to identify.  Here is a listing of Landsat band combinations just for reference.

I just got off the phone with ESRI Support.  They informed me this is by design and that many browsers cannot support the complex geometry so only simple symbology is currently offered for AGOL.  Apparently there is an improvement under consideration, but that is no guarantee it will be implemented. ENH-000087498: Provide cartographic line symbology support for feature services Status: Under consideration I also asked what development path/platform ESRI is utilizing for their apps, such as Explorer, Collector and Field Maps, that are able to correctly render the symbology despite being downgraded.  She was not able to answer this, as she is only in support, but is trying to check with the various development teams and is to get back to me.  It has to be possible to develop an app that can support more complex symbology as ESRI is doing it.  Just which development paths/platforms can support this?  Jeff Shaner any input? ...
