Thanks! But how does Pro know how to access the portal server NOT through the web adaptor, since we don't have a DNS entry for the portal server, and there is no IP address through which Pro can directly access portal server (since that is the point of installing the web adaptor in the first place)?

I have an 10.3 Portal and have followed the instructions at Configure ArcGIS Pro licenses—Portal for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for Servert to configure ArcGIS Pro licenses for my organization. Everything in the instructions worked like a charm. Once I finished step 23, I logged into Portal as an Administrator, clicked My Organization --> Manage Licenses, and assigned a Pro license to a user. However, when that user opens Pro (version 1.0), is prompted to sign into Portal for ArcGIS, authenticates correctly, ArcGIS Pro never opens. It just dies (no process in task manager either). No error message or anything. I've tried to do some research, so here is my question. If my portal machine (running the license server via ArcGIS License Server Administrator) is separated from the client machine (hosting Pro) by a firewall, do I need to open a direct port in order for this to work? The portal is configured through a web adaptor, but I don't know if Pro is trying to talk directly to the Portal server, or just ArcGIS Portal application. Thanks!

A thought: is it possibly that Portal doesn't like to have two registered Web Adaptors on different machines, but with the name URL (in my case, mapping.mydomain.com). If I changed one to mapping2, I might be able to register the second Adaptor, but if that's the case, how do I integrate Portal with my high availability / load balanced web cluster?

I have two (load-balanced) web servers (IIS). I installed Web Adaptor 10.3 on each, ensuring everything was the same (bindings, website name, etc.). The website on each is "mapping.mydomain.com" and the virtual directory is "gis" so to get to the Web Adaptor configuration page I would go to https://mapping.mydomain.com/gis/webadaptor and I am presented with the ability to register a server or portal. I have one Portal machine with Portal 10.3 installed. My problem is I am not able to register each web adaptor with the portal. I can only register one of them. If I register WebAdaptor 1 with Portal, I can't register 2. If I then unregister 1 and try to register WebAdaptor 2 with Portal, it works, but then I am unable to register WebAdaptor 1. I receive the following error: "Unable to configure Portal with the Web Adaptor. Please make sure that that the Portal machine is running and that the account specified has administrative privileges to the Portal." It's not a problem with either of the individual Web Adaptors because I can register each one as long as the other isn't registered. I just can't do both. Any suggestions here, since I'm trying to integrate a single portal machine with our existing load-balanced web servers? Thanks!

Also when is expected release of 10.3.1?

‎01-23-2015

I have a ArcGIS for Server site 10.3 (two machines, clustered), and plan on installing web adapter on our load balanced web services as well as one instance of Portal on a separate machine. I'm waiting for some bug fixes for server coming out in 10.3.1, and was curious if it is recommended to wait for 10.3.1 on Portal and Web Adapter too, or if 10.3 will be sufficient. Also, it is allowed to have 10.3.1 server installation but 10.3 Portal and Web Adapter installation or do all three need to be kept at the same version? Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. I changed the "ranking" node in USAddress.lot.xml from ascending to descending and created the City, State locator, using Population as a ranking field. When I checked the .loc.xml ranking node, it was already "descending" as expected. However, when I created a service and checked the suggestion endpoing using "Springfield", it still returned the lowest populous cities first. I am unable to check the locator within ArcMap, because it won't return any results without listing the state (e.g. Springfield won't return any results, but Springfield, MO will - however, that I have to specify the state makes it impossible to test). Any suggestions?

‎01-20-2015

I'm unclear which one to edit - I already edited the *.loc.xml file for my specific locator. There are two *.lot.xml files, General.lot.xml and USAddresses.lot.xml. If I change the ranking order node is one of those, will it affect all locators I create? I only want this one specific locator to have a "descending" ranking, and I want to ensure those rankings are reflected in the "suggest" endpoint for Geocode services. Thanks!

I'm trying to create a simple (offline) city, state geocode service in Server 10.3. I created the address locator (with suggestions enabled), specifying population field for ranking the results, and then changed the *.loc.xml "ranking" node from ascending to descending (so cities with higher populations will be ranked earlier not later). I rebuilt the locator then published as a service. However, the suggestions still return results in ascending order (those with lower populations). So is the ranking feature available in the service, or only in the address locator when consumed in ArcMap? Am I doing something wrong?

I have an operational (but still in progress) Python class that scrapes Esri REST endpoints and stores the results locally in a geodatabase (it also creates the feature class too). It can be found here. The documentation should be pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, I haven't solved the issue of getting all the records if the number of records is more than the max the service returns. The only workaround I've built in is being able to specify a series of non-overlapping where queries. Good luck - the class has a lot more work to handle other special cases, but I find it works great for a majority or our needs!

I also have been waiting for a paging feature for REST queries to get around this issue, but until then there is only workarounds. Pauls solution is probably the most thorough, If you know the data and general approximate size (most later versions of Server support a getCount query which just returns the number of records) you could specify different where queries. I think an elegant solution would be some recursive function that uses a finer and finer geographic mesh to make a series of geographic intersection calls until each region returns less results than the max number allowed.

Wonderful! Thanks for your sleuthing. I'll just wait till then

Sorry if that was confusing. All the JSON is the network response from the network tab of the debugger tools. There are two network calls when using the Geocoder Widget. 1. When I start typing something, the network tab of the debugger tools shows a query to the "suggest" endpoint of my GeocodeService. This returns suggestions and a magicKey. 2. Then when I choose a result from the geocoder widget's drop down menu in the UI, the network tab shows a request to the "findAddressCandidates" endpoint of my GeocodeService. The JSON above is the response from that request, and the response shows that there is no extent returned and the spatial reference is incorrect (at least based on the spatial reference of my GeocodeService). Unfortunately the service is behind our firewall so it's not public. Hope that clears t hings up....

All that's automatic - I'd have to get access to the response before the geocoder dijit returns it to the map and either compute and extent or remove it. In the geocoder dijit documentation, there is a zoomScale attribute which claims: "Scale to zoom to when geocoder does not return an extent." I tried adding this attribute when instantiating the geocoder dijit but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'd have to change the actual geocoder (the one from which the service was created). There are optional fields you can specify on creation for the four extent coordinates, but I'd have to modify the source table, add four fields, figure out the best extent coords, etc. etc. Seems like a lot of work..... Thoughts?

From the findAddressCandidates endpoint, the result is: { "spatialReference" : { "wkid" : 102100, "latestWkid" : 3857 }, "candidates" : [{ "address" : "LAX", "location" : { "x" : -13181126.409301052, "y" : 4021083.6552447858 }, "score" : 100, "attributes" : {}, "extent" : { "xmin" : "NaN", "ymin" : "NaN", "xmax" : "NaN", "ymax" : "NaN" } } ] } So it's passing in web mercator aux spatial reference. Query string parameters (taken from the network response) are: Single Line Input:LAX f:json outSR:{"wkid":102100,"latestWkid":3857} magicKey:GST7YMc0AM9UOsKtGTyVGST7YMc0AM9UOsEm1h5IDT5GYYh0DScnObxtGMytaikZMs8AQoFF maxLocations:5 My 10.3 GeocodeServer however does have a spatial reference of 4326. So I imagine the spatial reference parameter needs to be changed somehow. What's strange is if I use Esri's World Geocoding Service instead in the geocoder widget, it also returns coords in 3857 coordinates, but the map knows how to handle it. That is, using the World Geocoding Service doesn't have the same effect - it works as expected.
