I've set up a Portal using ArcGIS Enterprise, which is working well, and am creating our own web maps in it. For our customer front-end, we would like to embed maps into the page using ESRI JS. Is it possible to create an API key so we can access our Portal's web maps? Currently, the only way I can see any API key seems to be using my developer account, which gives me an API key for my ArcGIS Online content. Is there a way to either create a new API key for my Portal, or to enable the existing API key to use my Portal content too?

I've created an ArcGIS Enterprise install (server, portal, two webadaptors, datastore, all on the same machine) and have just tried publishing a webmap to it from ArcGIS Pro. This worked fine. However, when I come to access it, I'm getting this error: Does anyone have any idea for this one? Obviously it's pointing at certificates, and I believe they're all set up (it's pointing to my machine.domain.com as the CN - so that would be without a https:// or port). One thing I am thinking is this could be because I've got a hyphen in the machine name (also in the domain, but looking at the GET requests the domain is being substituted for something else), and a few posts I've looked at indicate that ArcGIS Server doesn't like having numbers in the machine/domain. I wonder if it's the same for hyphens... EDIT - incidentally, I'm just looking at my certification path and noticed that I've got two certificates above mine. Would these both need to be imported into Portal (and whatever else)? If so, where would they need to go?

That's worked pretty well, thanks. And somehow I can access it on my server machine too!

I've just installed ArcGIS Enterprise using the Enterprise Builder - so this comes with ArcGIS Server, Portal, two webadaptors (server and portal), and Datastore. I can access Portal just fine using the credentials that I was asked for during the install, however I cannot access the Server Manager. I keep getting an "Unauthorized access" message, as below: Anyone got any ideas? This is the last part in this (very long) saga I feel, as I just need to get into Server Manager and register my data source.

For anyone else having trouble with this, it seems it was down to hardware specs. We were trying this on a machine with 8gb RAM, and the minimum specs are 16gb. Upgraded it and it worked straight off the bat.

Well, I've done a fair few retries of Enterprise Builder. Eventually even got a "username cannot be empty" error (whilst also displaying my username underneath). Checked all the relevant java/javaw and postgres tasks were running, services, tried Oiligriv's solution (as recommended by ESRI), and am now back at the timeout error. Even trying the configuredatastore utility gave me the same error. ESRI have told me not to touch it until they get a response back from their international guys. Getting very frustrated, I've spent weeks trying to get this thing configured and it's holding work up on other projects. EDIT - just in case it's taken this way, this is definitely not aimed at you, just updating you as to what I've tried and where I stand. The logs also say more or less the same thing without going into any detail, that the request is timing out

Well, I turned the firewall off and tried again, this time getting the ever-helpful: Caused by: Attempt to configure data store failed. Caused by: Attempt to configure data store failed. Caused by: Null A bit of Googling and I'm uninstalling and trying again, this time with the firewall off. Hopefully it'll work this time.

No, that was me uninstalling and reinstalling on my own (to be fair, I was installing the components individually before). I'm now wondering if there's a port that needs opening somewhere (I check the Data Store service, and it is running - just seems that the config isn't picking it up). Or maybe a firewall issue.

I will have a better look at the configuredatastore utility tomorrow (nearly the end of the day here). I decided to uninstall everything and reinstall using Enterprise Builder, but hit the exact same error when we got to the Data Store. I've asked ESRI to re-escalate the issue. Additionally, most of the areas where the software indicates logs would exist either don't exist or are empty.

‎07-12-2022

I had tried that, and it didn't work - still had the same problem. I'm actually installing now (after uninstalling) using Enterprise Builder, which worked well - until it got to the Data Store, and is having the exact same issue.

Thanks all for your help, this one is taking a back seat at the moment until I get ArcServer configured correctly.

I have a machine in Azure which I'm trying to install all the components for ArcGIS Server on. It's taken a while, but I've finally got ArcGIS Server, a webadaptor, a portal, and now I'm trying to install Data Store. This is all on the one machine, using manual installs - not images or cloud builder etc. Now, when installing Data Store, it seems like its doing something, and then we get the attached error as below: "Attempt to configure data store failed. Caused by: Attempt to configure data store failed. Caused by: Attempt to configure data store failed. Caused by: Failed to start relational data store. Caused by: Connection timed out while waiting for relational data store machine to start." As I say, this is on the same machine. Furthermore, I can go to the services and see it running, and the content directory is there. However, it cannot configure it with anything. I've asked ESRI and have tried a few things. They've thrown it open to all their support internationally but trying to speak to them is a bit of a pain due to the time difference. I cannot do an Azure install as that seems to want a few different machines for different things (and we're only going to use the one machine). As an aside, would an Enterprise cloud install work (or is it simply called cloud builder, or something like that)? That installs everything on just one machine. The support guy I was talking to wasn't entirely sure whether it'd work in Azure, and we've had to open some ports which were closed on the machine to get it working so far. EDIT - after being given the go-ahead, I uninstalled everything and tried reinstalling using Enterprise Builder - which worked until we got to configuring the Data Store, where we ran into the exact same problem.

We've got ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Server is installed. Now, what we're after doing is something that can accomplish the following: 1 - user enters a parameter value (eg "123") in a textbox on a html page. Presses submit. 2 - a pdf map (using a custom layout) is generated. The pdf shows only the features from a feature class that contain the parameter's value (eg "BlockID=123") and zoomed to those features Edit - this should be able to be done without the user interacting with any map at all. So they can just press a button on any old html webpage and the pdf is generated. I've managed this locally on my machine, simply using ArcGIS Pro and some Python notebooks, but am struggling figuring out how to get it working online and the documents are a bit of a maze to navigate. If nothing comes of this, I'll contact esri directly. Thanks!

I'm currently working on getting a GIS up and running. Our data is hosted in Azure, and accessed via ArcServer. On the desktop, it's all working fine. However, when going to Field Maps (or Collector), I try to make an edit, and my edits go straight into the DEFAULT version and into the database (even though I've protected the DEFAULT version and set my Feature Service to create a new version for each user). I've also tried this using a login that is not me (so someone who does not own the database). Furthermore, when trying to create an offline version, I get the following (paraphrased) error (basically, code 400 unknown error): Error downloading map: Error Domain=com.esri.arcgis.runtime.services.error Code=400 "Unknown error occurred" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFeatureReason=Failed to create replica., NSURL=<link to Feature Service replica job>, responseJSON={ error = { code = 400; description = "Failed to create replica."; }; lastUpdatedTime = <timestamp>; replicaName=""; resultUrl=""; status = Failed; submissionTime = <timestamp>; }, NSLocalizedDescription=Unknown error occurred} As an aside, as mentioned I've tried in Collector with the same issue. I haven't tried in the REST endpoint, as I don't know how.

I'm currently trying to create an app which has offline functionality, similar to Collector. That is, the user can go to their Gallery on the device (eg an iPad) and, if the map is able to be used offline, the user can select an area and create the downloaded package directly on their device, and sync it up as they go. Is this possible? At the moment everything I can see points to having to create and package it up using ArcGIS Pro. We support a lot of users who operate out of areas where they have no connection in the field, in different timezones and sometimes with emergency situations who can't wait for me to be online and packaging maps up and then them having to download them again, then doing it again if it's wrong. Much better if they can do it themselves just using the app.
