Thanks Dan for attempting to help. All good/ ... View more

Thanks, Josh, I was generating licenses and ran into issues. Even though it appeared I had plenty of licenses available, when I tried to provision them, and I would receive an error that due to "recent changes"  these licenses were unavailable (?).  Spent a good bit of time on this, long story short wanted to log a defect. Technical support couldn't create a bug on the issue since it was with MyEsri and redirected me back to customer service.  I don't think CS will log a bug since they sent me to technical support in the first place. And here I am. I can PM you or someone a video of the issue if you want. ... View more

Thanks Dan. I am the primary maintenance contact for our org and I haven't a clue where to submit them. For applications and such, yes, Not for MyEsri. ... View more

You can publish to federated servers only, this new capability is for stand-alone servers (non-federated).  Here's a little blurb from a long running thread  As we are finalizing ArcGIS Pro 2.3 and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7, we are unfortunately falling a bit short of our original goals for the features related to publishing from Pro to a standalone ArcGIS Server.   With ArcGIS Pro 2.3, it will be possible to publish map services (and related capabilities like feature services) to a standalone ArcGIS Server. Publishing will be via Python scripting only, i.e. via arcpy-based scripts.   This is not everything that was originally planned and we will continue to add additional functionality in future releases of ArcGIS Pro.   For ArcGIS Pro 2.4, due later in 2019, we plan to have a full publishing user experience within ArcGIS Pro in addition to the scripting-based experience being introduced in ArcGIS Pro 2.3 here in January. After Pro 2.3, we also plan on adding support for publishing other service types beyond map services including image services, geoprocessing services, and more. from : https://community.esri.com/ideas/12258-arcgis-pro-publish-services-to-arcgis-server?messageTarget=all&start=200&mode=comments In Pro if you want to publish to multiple federated servers that are federated to different Portals you switch the "Active Portal" and publish.  Hope this helps! ...

Hi Clinton, my first thought is to uninstall and reinstall the server web adaptor and make sure "allow administrative access" is checked when you do so.  Admin access will be restricted to administrative accounts only, but that should work. ... View more

He never mentioned web adaptor though? I assumed he did, but was only assuming... ... View more

Hi Michael.  I purchased a $75 SSD drive and reinstalled the full stack locally, off domain. Installing straight "out of the box" sped things up dramatically, and I was also able to see what could be locked down or not, what worked well and what things were still in need of refinement. As close to an unvarnished view as I can  get.   Still need to figure out those pesky firewall and anti-virus things of course, but experiencing how it's supposed to work firsthand, helps.  ...

Hi Nicolas, did you re-federate after you set the property and bounced arcgis server? Portal will need to know the server is returning a different FQND. Unfederate the server from portal in its existing state (no webcontext) Login into server, set web context url. Server restarts Clear browser cache (I also restart portal here too, but you probably don't have to) Refederate the server in portal using the webadaptor address that everyone is publishing too (for both user/admin) ...

Hi Paul, right now I'm not seeing the same issues as you and I'm on a less powerful laptop running local portal, server the whole 9 yards.  I did have serious problems with our corporate firewall/virus software though - it had my laptop in a stranglehold and sat helplessly by watching 100% CPU, pathetic performance and about ready to throw my laptop against the wall !! That's no longer an issue now. As for network traffic, shouldn't be much if anything when browsing folders. In fact, that should be like you said - instant or nearly so. Here is a video took this morning. You're 100% right. It shouldn't be like that, something is wrong. ... View more

WebContextUrl .  When you use a DNS alias or a reverse proxy the WebContextUrl property is used see: Using a reverse proxy server with ArcGIS Server—ArcGIS Server Administration (Windows) | ArcGIS Enterprise  Then ArcGIS Server will respond with packets that appear to originate from the alias, otherwise it uses the local machine name.  ...

It's a guess, but it looks like the rules got locked down on port 6443 perhaps for everything but the Web Adaptor machine. Or, if the Web Adaptor is on the same machine as ArcGIS Server then it would likely be unaffected by the changes. So I would try.... Check firewall rules  - specifically, HTTPS traffic on port 6443 is permitted internally. Keep everything else as is. Access to that port is required to publish (either directly, or through the Web Adaptor) or.... Unfederate Server and re-federate through Web Adaptor (both URLs go through Web Adaptor instead of one going to 6443). However, be aware if you choose to unfederate then everything that is published may have to be to be republished and you must have administrative access enabled on your Web Adaptor.  If those are not to big of a deal, I'd go with unfederate. You have the firewall tightened up and access will be through one port, not two. ... View more

Hi Lance - yes, there is quite a bit out there and all may not apply to you, depending on your requirements. Yes, Chef Server is UNIX only and limited to 5 machines before you have to start writing checks. However, you may not need it - I've never used it and have done hundreds of enterprise installations with free unlimited use of the Chef client. Chef Server does look pretty slick though. Unfortuantely, if you have been watching the videos all you will likely see is demos of Chef Server... Chef Server is best for... Setting up and tearing down dozens of ArcGIS Enterprise installations routinely Organizations that have a sustainable supply of resources (people, equipment) to install, configure and maintain Chef Server, recipes Organizations familiar with automated installation tools, like Ansible Ansible is Simple IT Automation ) Chef Client is best for... Automating semi-frequent, but not routine installations of ArcGIS Enterprise Deploying N-tier system architectures  Personnel with some scripting experience  (even a DOS batch script counts) People who have better things to do than click through installers. 🙂  My advice would be to kick the tires on the Chef Client on a machine. Head over to the wiki on github and go through the Deploy a full stack ArcGIS Enterprise on a single machine · Esri/arcgis-cookbook Wiki · GitHub  tutorial. Follow the directions, although I can see there is an error there about the version of Chef Client they support on the very first step  (it is https://downloads.chef.io/chef/stable/13.9.4  ) Good luck! ...

You said this only started happening recently - do you know of any system or environment changes that occurred?  You can access all of these endpoints without error? <server host>/<server web adaptor>/manager e.g. https://yourservermachine.yourdomain/server/manager/ <server host>/<server web adaptor>/admin https://yourservermachine.yourdomain/server/admin/ (may prompt for token, or server admin login) <server host>:6443/arcgis/manager (e.g. https://yourservermachine.yourdomain:6443/arcgis/manager/ <server host>:6443/arcgis/admin (e.g. https://yourservermachine.yourdomain:6443/arcgis/admin/ Since the error is in java, that sounds like it's coming from ArcGIS Server instead of the Web Adaptor, what does your ArcGIS Server log say? You tried publishing to server direct (6443) or through WA?  ... View more

Was about to log a ticket - rebooted the server and let it warm up for 30 minutes and tried the updatelicense.bat file once again and it just worked.... Seems it was holding onto an old token or something, not sure.  ... View more
