A critical aspect that's missing from this equation is the ArcGIS Data Store. Which type of data stores will you be implementing? If you're going to enable the Spatio-temporal datastore, I'd argue that needs it's own machine. Also: Which ArcGIS Server roles will you be implementing? That will also factor into this decision. Will your GIS be public, or internal facing only? What kind of volume are you anticipating in terms of site visits? ... View more

Sara, I'd like to understand what you'd like to do, since you mention Oracle but you also mention the Data Store.  Is your intention to deploy a 'base enterprise deployment' of ArcGIS, consisting of Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server, and the ArcGIS Data Store? Or is your intention to register an instance of Oracle as an enterprise geodatabase with your ArcGIS Deployment? The configuration workflows differ, which is why I'm asking. ... View more

Hi Sara, Apologies for the delay. A 'built in' user means a user refers to a user created using the default ArcGIS Server configuration using the built-in user and role store,  as opposed to a user from an enterprise user store (like LDAP/Active Directory). The siteadmin account you mention is an example of a built-in user. ... View more

This is a legitimate usability issue that cost time for you to investigate. I'd suggest logging a case with Esri support to relay your experience here and to request a bug/enhancement for better error handling in cases like this. It's great you figured this out, but in the long run it's going to frustrate more users. From where I sit, little annoyances like this result in cases for Support Services, which cost Esri a lot more than you'd expect per case. If we can make an easy improvement to the product to avoid some of those calls, it's a big win for everyone. Low hanging fruit! ... View more

This looks like a name resolution issue to me - the ArcGIS Server hostname isn't fully qualified in that log for some reason, and you're getting a 404. ... View more

To start, I'd log a quick case with Support to ask to be added to the following enhancement: [#ENH-000097664 for Open Data, provide a way to better handle user workflows in cases where the HTML representation of an ArcGIS Server's  Services Directory is disabled.]  There's dissonance between the Open Data design and ArcGIS Server best practices that should be reviewed. ...

The issue here is likely that you've configured your service to require ArcGIS Token-based authentication, but tokens aren't really part of the OGC spec. Most of the clients you mention are likely expecting the server to support basic or NTLM authentication.  ... View more

Hi Bradley,   We apologize for our alias at [email protected] being temporarily unavailable.   We very recently changed aliased and this one wasn’t yet enabled for external access by external users, hence the bounce you got.   Glad you were able to obtain the answer you needed re: AGO encryption at rest in hosted feature services.   Feel free to reach out to us with any security, privacy, or compliance concerns you may have moving forward. --Randall, Esri PSIRT ...

The number of ArcSOC.exe instances that can be created on a given server is limited based on the value of the non-interactive desktop heap. This is specific to ArcObjects based services, like Map Services, GP services, etc.  There's not a difference between 10.2 and 10.6 in that regard. I've seen users squeeze out ~300 services before in the past, but again that all depends on what's going on in the background. If you deploy Portal for ArcGIS and publish hosted feature and hosted tiled services, those aren't ArcObjects based and are much more scalable. ... View more

This kinda sounds like a forward proxy issue instead of a proxy page issue. Unsure why the images are broken here: How To: Set a proxy in the Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition)  ... View more

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 is supported for the web adaptor at ArcGIS 10.6. My understanding is that the JBoss Community project was renamed to Wildfly to differentiate between the Enterprise and Community projects.  Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 (JBoss EAP 7) – final release – akquinet AG – Blog  That said, I haven't explicitly tested. Honestly, I'd be a little surprised if you were able to achieve much of a performance improvement. The web adaptor is very lightweight - it's essentially a proxy server that forwards requests with a simple round-robin load balancing (if you have multiple GIS Servers in your site). ... View more

q: "How do I create a enterprise geodatabase if my license is ArcGIS For Workgroup? " ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup allows you to create databases in SQL Express. Oracle isn't an option with that license. http://www.esri.com/library/brochures/pdfs/arcgis-enterprise-functionality-matrix.pdf ARCGIS ENTERPRISE WORKGROUP LEVEL ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup is a lower capacity level of ArcGIS Enterprise. It offers all the same functionality as ArcGIS Enterprise but is designed for use in smaller teams and organizations. The Workgroup level has the following differences: • There is a limit of 10 simultaneous desktop connections to workgroup   geodatabases. Workgroup geodatabases are only supported on Microsoft SQL   Server Express and have a maximum size of 10 GB. • The Workgroup level is only licensed for use with file-based data sources (e.g. file   geodatabases) and workgroup geodatabases. It is not licensed for use with   enterprise geodatabases. • The base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment must be deployed all-in-one on a single   machine with up to 4 cores. • Each server role has a 4-core maximum. The additional roles can be deployed on   separate machines from the base deployment. The spatiotemporal big data store   from ArcGIS Data Store may be configured on a single, separate 4-core machine. For more information and to determine if ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup Level is a good fit for your organization, contact your local Esri representative. ... View more
