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

I agree.  Those little arrows are too small. That is an incredible storymap.  Great work. ... View more

Arnaud, With such a small user base and no need for editing, just viewing, I would recommend that you store your polygons in a file geodatabase on your arcgis server. You can use python scripts to do nightly updates. The python scripts can read the data from SQL server and update the polygon attributes in the file geodatabase. You can use the file geodatabase as the data source for the map services that you publish with ArcGIS Server. This configuration should be uncomplicated and easy to setup and maintain. Good luck.

I believe you can use bit.ly and choose your own URL characters, e.g., https://bit.ly/burial. Bernie. ... View more

Here is the question that I sent to Esri support:   Hello,                  A quick question - If I enable WMS support (or other OGC services) when I am publishing a map service will the service consume more server resources?  Assuming: the map service receives 10,000 requests a day before WMS is enabled and after WMS is enabled the requests are split 5,000 ArcGIS REST API and 5,000 WMS i.e. not an increase in traffic but just a redistribution of requests between the two standards.   Does enabling WMS trigger an additional ArcSOC to spin up? Or are both OGC and REST requests handled by the same ArcSOC?  If it is the same ArcSOC will it have a larger memory footprint?  Will a WMS request require additional CPU cycles when compared to the same request to the REST endpoint?   Thanks, Bernie. ...
