My understanding is that the best way to accomplish this is to: Adjust the order in which you want the attributes to show up on the mxd. Click on the Layer, Properties and use the Up and Down arrow to move the Attributes in order. You can also create alias here (or better yet back in the original source) that will then be used on the pop ups. You cannot adjust the Attribute order in the source data, you have to do this on the mxd. Then, republish the mxd and you should have what you want. I have been told that you can also save the Layer from the Portal Map and then other Portal maps will work with changes to that layer.  I have had better luck with changing the mxd.  Plus changes to the mxd flow through to anywhere that the mxd is used or published. Good luck ... View more

I'll add in one thing that happened to us back when first bringing Portal up. After installing, we allocated added disk space to our Data Store VM (WinSrvr 2012 R2). But, I forgot to use Disk Manager to expand the partition into the new free space. Hence, the disk filled up when I wasn't looking. I worked with Esri to try to recover but in the end it was much simpler to delete the VM and reinstall. Having enough Disk Space is a pretty basic thing but sometimes it's the obvious that really bites us.  We now monitor disk space.  😉 ... View more

Ali: I have not seen that specific issue. I have seen, and others have reported, ghost services left in Portal after they have been deleted. In my case, it was in a dev portal so I just rebuilt the Portal. And it was not on the home page. The deleted service just kept showing up in my My Content lists. I have taken to removing any item from any group membership before deleting it. I don't recall seeing any specific solution for this but you would need to search Geonet to be sure. If I were you, I would put in a support ticket and have Esri help work through this or create a bug report. You have refreshed/deleted your browser cache, right? ... View more

This is not built into Portal as far as I know. However, Geo-jobe does make a tool, Mapfolio, that should do what you want.: http://www.geo-jobe.com/mapfolio/ ... View more

Stefan: I don't know the answer to your question. But if I were in your shoes, I would take the slowest job and recreate it and see if the speed improves. I'd also look my indexes, compression, etc... to make sure it's not a database issue slowing things down. ... View more

Are you using IE? There are issue with Chrome and 10.4.1. There is a patch out there but I've found that while it clears up most issues, I still occasionaly have issues. I recommend just using IE. Info on the patch: Portal for ArcGIS Home Application Upload Patch  ... View more

Ross: There is a a patch to 10.4.1 that helps with the Chrome Issue.  Portal for ArcGIS Home Application Upload Patch  It appeared to fix the Chrome problems but recently I have had a few issues in a patched Portal using Chrome that do not occur with IE. I have not reported these issues to Esri (yet.) I'm trying to remember to just use IE with Portal.  ... View more

Hi Kelly:  Somehow I missed your response from November.  Sorry for my delay. I do have a very basic question just to make sure I understand the issue and what can be done: If you publish a tiled & cached image service, can that same image service be setup to dynamic deliver imagery for layers that the mxd supports but that are not Cached in the Image Service? I think that is the basic question being discussed in this thread?  Or have I misinterpreted things. Wouldn't be the first time.  😉 And the  other basic question, if the answer above is Yes, does this apply to Portal and ArcGIS 10.5 Image Servers I may not have explained my issue properly. Basically, I am trying to get a locally published Image Service, which is now on a dedicated 10.5 ImageServer, that is cached and tiled down to Level 19 (counting from Level 0)  This is a 1:500 Scale. So in other words, I added one more level beyond the "stock" 19 levels. When this layer is active, if I zoom in closer than the 1:500 scale, my locally published imagery stops displaying. It will only display at levels for which I created the cache. The Esri Imagery basemaps keep on displaying for as long as I can zoom in. It seems obvious that the Esri imagery basemaps are resampling down below ~1:1000 (I would guess that is the actual resolution of the imagery.) I want to get our Tiled/Cached Imagery to do behave like this. I'll cache it down to the source resolution and then let it resample down below that. so far, I think all the info on this thread has been related to AGOL and not Portal. I believe your response below to Kalen but with the URL adapted for Portal is the info I need? But I am missing something on getting to the rest admin site for our new 10.5 Image Server. I can go here: https://MyFQDN/MyWAName/rest/admin/ and not pull an error.  But I only get a 98% blank page. all I see is the following: When I try to go to the specific tiled service's rest admin point, for example: https://MyFQDN/MyWAName/rest/admin/services/Aerials_2016_StatePlane/ImageServer/edit I pull a 400 error, Invalid URL I've tried a few things to add in tile info to URL but so far no luck. Thanks for you help! ... View more

Glad to hear it worked. That sounds like the 10.4.1 Patch didn't install correctly or you need to reboot the server. Apply the patch and then reboot the server. I think the patch directions might say just stop and restart the ArcGIS Server service.  I don't remember. I prefer to reboot the server for a clean restart on anything like a patch, install, uninstall, repair, etc....  ... View more

I think that Portal 10.5 has some functionality that is supposed to help with some of these issues. I'll be updating one of our Portals in the next few weeks I hope and will report back. ... View more

Hi Adrian: Yes, I did do that and consumed about 200+GB of disk space to go down to level 20 (I think.) Once you hit 19 and below the disk space goes up rapidly, not surprising. I believe that's about the limit of our Orthos (6"/pix) so I don't want to take up disk space for what are really just dithered images consuming TB of data. I have not had success yet with being able to create a combined dynamic/tiled image service. That's what I really want.  Tile it down to the maximum resolution and then let it dither and run dynamic beyond that. My solution to date is that I stood up a new 10.5 Image Server and have published our mosaics to that server as dynamic services.  The performance of the dynamic service is acceptable and then users can zoom in as far as they want.  It's the difference, so far, of between 1 to 2 seconds of slower drawing time when changing zoom levels. The tiled is nice because it's <1 second but for now, I have enough else to consume my time.  😉 I am waiting to see what happens with performance when we turn the Portal loose to all our users.  So far it's a limited set of users. ...

I've seen this issue often.  Not just with Esri but with any web development I've done. F5 & Ctrl F5 (and even multiple Ctrl F5s) are your friend.  Browser caching can be great for speed and a real pain for changing data or code. In my experience, this is just one of the normal browser issues you have to deal with in web development. In Portal, I have the most problems when I've updated a map or feature service and I'm trying to get the new data to show up on a prior web map (or web app) using that layer.  I've had to delete the layer and add it back to the map to get new layers in a map service to show up.   If it's a complex map and a big data set, it can take time for the data to draw.  I am not very patient sometimes. I'm curious to know if Jake or Derek (or Rebecca or any of the other long time Portalites) have any better suggestions. ... View more
