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.

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.

Does anyone remember the URLs to connect to ArcGIS Server 10.0 from ArcCatalog to administer the data? We have an old ArcGIS Server VM image that we have spun up to try and recover some data that was lost years ago. We have the server up and can access the ArcGIS Server Manager web interface but have been unable to connect via ArcCatalog. Honestly, none of us can remember the connection URLs. There was a big change between 10.0 and 10.1 and the sites do not use ports. We were able to access the server to "Use GIS services" in ArcCatalog 10.8.1 using http://gisserver.domain.com/arcgis/services but can only view the data and not administer the GIS server or data in any way from ArcCatalog. We spent about two hours with ESRI tech support yesterday trying to get the installed ArcCatalog 10.0 up and running, which has all the GIS Server links saved. We were not successful as 10.0 is just not supported any longer and license files are just not available. We have been trying to access using a new version of ArcCatalog (10.8.1) with only a small glimmer of hope. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

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?

I am working on a new app were the map is not the primary focus. I am using CSS Grid and Flex to layout the single page. I noticed that the mapView focus rectangle around the map when active is not displaying correctly when the containing DIV is placed using Grid or Flex. Below are screen shots showing the difference between the two. The first being a normal DIV placed as a block and the second placed using CSS Grid. The two examples are from @AllanLaframboise post on GitHub - GitHub - alaframboise/arcgis-js-app-patterns: Examples of how to accomplish simple app designs and styling with the ArcGIS JS API v4. I also tried to remove the focus rectangle by adding the following to my CSS as noted by @RobertScheitlin__GISP . .esri-view .esri-view-surface--inset-outline:focus::after {
outline: none !important;
} This removes the focus rectangle from the normal DIV but has no affect on the one placed using CSS Grid. Any ideas on how to clean this up or remove the focus rectangle from a DIV placed using CSS Grid? It does not appear to be causing any other issues other than it really looks bad.

I added a post to Developers - ArcGIS API for JavaScript Community at about 5:00 EST today. It was visible in the community and I noted a typo for which I corrected and saved. The post is no longer visible nor can I find any reference.

Just a few comments a issues noted on the new site. 1) still seeing a lot of styling and formatting issues with text being over or under other objects. have screen shots if needed. 2) as noted during the initial preview, the page headers are huge and take up a lot of screen real estate. This is especially notable on mobile platforms. 3) Add an info button or "hover over" option for the Labels and Post Tags sections on a new post form. I am still having trouble keeping these straight as to the difference. 4) no suggestions are displayed for Labels and Post Tags 5) have yet to enter a Label that was acceptable to the system. Just been leaving the field blank and not entering anything. 6) when using a "@" to link to a member, often many come up with the same name with an additional number. How can you differentiate who is who and which is correct. For example entering ReneRubalcava you get 4 different options with no way to id the correct user or if they are all the same, i.e. hover over with additional info. icons do display but had to open another session and bring up the user to chose the correct one. Thanks for all of your time and effort into this endeavor.

I am starting a new GIS website that will be using the ArcGIS Javascript API. We will be using TypeScript for the majority of the site development. The project will also contain several custom widgets as well as customized default widgets. So far I have been able to get the test site to build using tsc installed with Typescript. This results in many generated JavaScript files for the main site and related custom widgets The second approach has been using webpack to build the app. This is great except I do not really want to bundle the entire ArcGIS Javascript API and related CSS to host on our system. Is there something in between, without adding in a framework such as React or Angular? My pea sized brain is already on overload. I am looking for something to package our custom js/ts code and css/scss to be used in conjunction with the ArcGIS JavaScript API CDN The two approaches we used are loosely based upon @ReneRubalcava's demos posted on github noted below: https://github.com/Esri/jsapi-resources/tree/master/4.x/webpack/demo https://github.com/Esri/jsapi-resources/tree/master/4.x/typescript/demo

I have a line feature that is suppose to be coincident with the edge of a polygon feature. At about 600 locations, the line is not coincident and I am looking for a automatic method to adjust the line, without modifying the polygon feature, if the line falls within a given distance, say 5 feet. I have tried the Snap (Editing)—ArcMap | Documentation tool and the Integrate (Data Management)—ArcMap | Documentation tool. However, because of the large tolerance needed, results in the polygon being modified even when setting a large difference in the features rankings. I also added the layers to a feature dateset with topology. This did identify all the errors, however, I cannot fine a way to correct the issues except individually. In the photo below, the red line should be coincident with the polygons edges. Off by less than 1 ft at this location. Any suggestions. Currently using ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1. I know I have fixed this type of error previously but cannot recall how.

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). Lance

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. Lance

In our enterprise GIS data we extensively utilize layered cartographic symbology to differentiate line types within a feature. Unfortunately, when uploading the features to AGOL to publish the map, we receive a warning that the "layer's symbol will be downgraded". The resulting published map only utilizes simple symbology and the various line types are not differentiable. It is my understanding that not all browsers can support layered symbology, therefore, only simple symbology is utilized in AGOL Maps. It would be great if AGOL could support layered symbology or had some type of comparable line representation within its supported symbology. Internally our users utilize Explorer, Collector and are testing Field Maps which all these apps support and display the layered symbology despite the symbol downgrade. However, our published web maps that are available to the general public and external users, cannot render the data as needed. We have looked in to generating map tiles for our data, however, this data is updated daily and regenerating 35+ square miles of tiles is just not reasonable. The last run for such maps took over three days to generate at all the needed scales. Also, the data is not selectable, therefore one cannot view the feature data within the maps.

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?

We are using multi layer cartographic line symbols to identify different types of line types in our GIS database. When uploading to AGOL to publish as a map, we receive a warning that the "Layer's symbol will be downgraded" and the various line types all appear the same in the uploaded web map. I understand this is by design and a limit of AGOL. However, when opening the same map in Explorer or Collector the original symbology will display. How can this symbology be displayed in an AGOL Map or App? AGOL Published Map: Same Map opened in Collector 20.2.2 or Explorer 20.0.1 - Displays the same symbology as in the original MXD from which the map is published, despite the downgraded symbology.

I am in the process of building a rather comprehensive GIS web app to replace our old Flex based platform that needs to be retired before the end of 2020. Yes, Flex. As time has allowed, I have been working on the various components using the 4.x JavaScript API, vanilla JavaScript and TypeScript. I have completed enough of the primary components that I would like to assemble these into an initial deployable app and add new components/features over the next year. I am planning on doing this in vanilla JS and TypeScript but, I keep looking at utilizing a framework such as React or React with Redux. I have experimented with this on a small scale using the esri-loader and I am pleased with the workflow but have run into a few stumbling blocks that took a good bit of time to work though. Contemplating the best approach for continued development into the future. Just curious what others are using to develop web-based apps in conjunction with the 4.x JavaScript API?
