Google gave me this result - https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/start-stop-map-service-arcpy/td-p/270881 We do several automated updates that involve stopping and restarting a map service.  Please reach out and we can share a sample script with you.  geonb at snb dot ca Bernie. ...

Yes, that is right.  We do it 5 days a week with our parcel data.  We connect to the service from ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and multiple web apps published via ArcGIS Online: https://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services/GeoNB_SNB_Parcels/MapServer However, I should add that our Land Registry Office only provides us with a simple polygon feature class exported from the parcel fabric.  We use the polygon feature class as the source for our parcel map service.  You could build this into your process and update the polygon feature class from your parcel fabric with an automated process.

@Anonymous User I suggest you publish an additional service that uses your parcel fabric as the source data.  Assuming you are publishing the service from ArcMap you only need to enable the capability for "Mapping": I beleive the above image shows the default capabilities.  There is no harm in leaving the KML capability enabled.  Without the "Feature Access" capability there is no possibility of editing the data. Good luck, Bernie. ... View more

Dave, Is it possible that your python script is having trouble accessing the address feature class because the address feature service is also accessing the same feature class? To rule this out perhaps the first step in your python script should be to make a copy of the address feature class within the enterprise geodatabase. Or, if possible, stop the address feature service before you attempt to copy the data. Bernie. ... View more

It was worth a try.  The only other issue we had with basemaps not appearing in the basemap gallery widget was when our basemaps did not use the same projection as the esri basemaps. Cheers, Bernie. ... View more

We have experienced a similar problem with the Basemap Gallery widget in our Web AppBuilder apps.  The cure was to clear web browser cache.  But first you can test it by opening the webmap in an Incognito window.  If the basemaps appear you can proceed with clearing your web browser's cache - <Ctrl><Shift><Del> should open the clear browser cache window.

Stanley - what about the System Log Parser? https://community.esri.com/t5/implementing-arcgis-blog/system-log-parser-statistics-and-service/ba-p/886389 Bernie. ... View more

@AlixVezina that's not a solution for customers who still rely on WAB and the widgets that are not yet available in ExB.  I just reviewed the ExB and WAB functionality matrix yesterday. There are at least 5 WAB widgets that we use regularly that are not available in ExB. And we rely on WAB in AGOL so please do not suggest the WAB Developers Edition. WAB on AGOL is going to be around for a while so why not create an elevation profile widget for WAB? Bernie. ... View more

Why hasn't Esri picked up on the demand for an elevation profile widget for Web AppBuilder??  Esri already provides a World elevation dataset that could be used as the default data source for the profile and customers could reconfigure the widget if they have their own higher resolution elevation dataset. Thanks, Bernie. ... View more

We have applied the mitigation script to our DEV, TEST, and PROD systems.  We are running ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 and we have 4 server VMs and 2 web adaptor VMs in PROD.  The mitigation went flawlessly until PROD.  To avoid interuption in service we applied the mitigation one server at a time but I think we moved too quickly between the PROD servers.  The ArcGIS Server service was not fully restored on Server A when we stopped the service on the Server B and this caused our web adaptors to lose connection to their config file.  The config files for the web adaptors are stored on the first two ArcGIS Server VMs. Web adaptor A gets its config from Server A and Web adaptor B gets its config from Server B.  I beleive for a short time neither web adaptor had access to its config file and both web adaptor VMs malfunctioned and took all of our services offline.  Restarting the web adaptors and the servers cleared up the problem.  Unfortunately that took nearly one hour to coordinate with our server admin team.  Today the servers are running smoothly and we cannot detect any difference in behaviour or performance. ...

You can type your example and then do a screen capture and include the image in your post instead of the text.   ... View more

We are a small team and the upgrades take soooo much time.  We would rather spend our time building better end user products and new datasets instead of wrestling with ArcGIS Server upgrades.  ... View more

Yes, MichaelDavis3, that is our experience with ArcGIS Server upgrades too.  Our last upgrade project took us from 10.2.2 to 10,7,1 and it lasted two years and was fraught with peril, problems, testing and performance tuning, lots of performance tuning. Bernie. ... View more
