When the user zooms in their mapping client should be sending new requests to the feature service for the points that fall within the new map extent.  With a smaller map extent the WFS service should be able to provide records for all visible points. ... View more

You said:         "A public institution wants to see all the building numbers in the same service and at one time" IMHO, it would be better to solve this issue by using clustering or a heat map at smaller scales and then show all the points at larger scales.  Nobody can visually discern 1.7 million points with labels on a single map.  Your users don't always understand the limits of ArcGIS Server.  It is part of our job to educate our users so they get what they need in a manner that is performant for them and for our servers. I think Montgomery Scott said it best... Cheers, Bernie. ... View more

Reda,         I suggest you keep similar data sets in one map service.  For example, we have a map service for our hydrographic network (rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, etc).  It has 15 layers but they are all related to the natural water drainage network - https://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services/GeoNB_DNR_NBHN/MapServer.   The rest of our map services typically have 5 or fewer layers.         Another consideration is the number of hits your map service may receive.  For example, our cadastral parcel map service is used in most of the web maps we publish and it gets many requests.  Our Parcel map service has ~600,000 records and just two layers - polygons and labels  - https://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services/GeoNB_SNB_Parcels/MapServer          We have been publishing map services since 2009.  Our REST services directory is public - https://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services.  Please browse through our services for more examples.  Feel free to reach out with questions. Best regards, Bernie.   ... View more

Have you tried opening the MXDs or projects that was used to publish your services?  Can those documents still connect to their data sources?  If you still can't find the problem perhaps the solution is to republish your services.  How many services do you have? ... View more

@wizgis ,         Have you tried stopping and starting the ArcGIS server machines in the Server Manager?  https://<servername>:6443/arcgis/manager/site.html If all of the server names, paths, and db connections are the same between the old and new architecture your services should restart Bernie. ...

Rémi,         This sounds like a job for a Notebook with a scheduled "task".  Once you create the python code for the deletion of the layer create a "Task" that will trigger only once to run your script on a specific date. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/prepare-a-notebook-for-automated-execution.htm Bernie. ...

Anghela,         If you are building a WAB app you should be using Map Viewer Classic to configure your web map and pop-ups.  Alternatively, you could use your web map in an Instant App or Experience Builder. WAB and Map Viewer Classic were built with ArcGIS JavaScript API 3.x. Experience Builder, Instant Apps, and Map Viewer were built with ArcGIS JavaScript API 4.x. Bernie. ... View more

That was my thought too - these are temporary files.  Have you tried to access the same file 1 hour later or 1 day later?  Is the file still there or has it been automatically deleted? Bernie. ... View more

It looks like @DavidLight found the ArcGIS setting for "no-caching" http headers.  I'm surprised Esri Support could not help with that. Bernie. ... View more

mindy6,         I don't know the details on how to implement this - but I do know you can set the http headers for a website to be "no-caching" to prevent the client browser from storing the info in their local browser cache.  I expect this should work for all web content including vector tiles.  I hope this gives you more insight into a solution. Bernie. ... View more

@AbiDhakal  your Web AppBuilder apps will continue to work after Esri ends support for WAB in 2024 and 2025.  This fact is clearly stated in the first paragraph of this blog from February 2023 - https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/web-appbuilder/announcements/arcgis-web-appbuilder-roadmap-for-retirement/ I hope this helps.

ArcGIS License server uses very few server resources.  It could easily be migrated to another VM and not cause any problems.  You will have to first de-authorize the licenses on your existing VM and re-authorize the licenses on the other VM.  Do some research first - https://t.ly/vivGE ... View more
