I've written a python script that I want to run before I publish a mxd as a map service, i want to make sure all Object ID fields are hidden, and all geometry fields are visible. I've added some messages and the script runs fine, no problem, but it doesn't alter the visibility of the fields for the layers in my map document? I've attached my code if anyone has time to take a look. Any ideas much appreciated. Kind Regards, Rob import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):     # Create a describe object     #     desc = arcpy.Describe(lyr)     # If a feature layer, continue     #     if desc.dataType == "FeatureLayer":         # Create a fieldinfo object         #         fieldInfo = desc.fieldInfo         index = 0         fldlistgeom = arcpy.ListFields(lyr,"","Geometry")         fldlistoid = arcpy.ListFields(lyr,"","OID")         arcpy.AddMessage("Now processing layer: " + desc.Name)         # Use the count property to iterate through all the fields            #         while index < fieldInfo.count:             # Print fieldinfo properties to the screen             #             if fldlistgeom[0].name == fieldInfo.getFieldName(index):                 arcpy.AddMessage("Setting " + fldlistgeom[0].name + " as visible...")                 fieldInfo.setVisible(index, "VISIBLE")                 arcpy.AddMessage("Geometry field Visible.")             if fldlistoid[0].name == fieldInfo.getFieldName(index):                 arcpy.AddMessage("Setting " + fldlistoid[0].name + " as hidden...")                 fieldInfo.setVisible(index, "HIDDEN")                 arcpy.AddMessage("Object ID field hidden.")             index += 1 arcpy.AddMessage("OK") mxd.save() ...

I want to add a feature class from our database to the FlexViewer application, usually this isn't a problem because all our users connect to the database with a read only password, I would just add the feature class via a reaad only connection to the MXD and publish as a service.  However, this database restricts access as to what can be read, each user can see different feature in the feature class.  So I thought I would publish a geoporcessing model that prompts the user for their username and password, and expose the model via the GP widget for the flex viewer.  At the moment, I am stuck creating the model.  I can make the connection file, but I can't seem to reference feature classes that exist within the database?  The model remains white. How do I use the result of the 'Create ArcSDE Connection File' tool in model builder to work with a feature class contained within the database I'm conencting to? I've exported the model as python, but it looks ok to me, am I missing something obvious? # Set the necessary product code import arceditor # Import arcpy module import arcpy # Script arguments Username = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) Password = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) # Local variables: Test_sde = Username Connections = "\\\\myserver.com\\somewhere\\Scripts\\Connections" PROSPECTS_GIS = "PROSPECTS_GIS" Output = "%ScratchWorkspace%\\Output" # Process: Create ArcSDE Connection File arcpy.CreateArcSDEConnectionFile_management(Connections, "Test", "DBSERVER.COM", "4150", "DB", "DATABASE_AUTH", Username, Password, "SAVE_USERNAME", "sde.DEFAULT", "SAVE_VERSION") # Process: Make Feature Layer arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(PROSPECTS_GIS, Output, "", "", "") ...

Is it possibel to configure the scale range at which a popup for a layer will display? For example, I would like a popup to fire for my countries layer when I am out at full extent viewing the whole world, but when I zoom into North America or Europe, i would still like my countries displayed, but not the popups because I have more content with popups at that scale? Any ideas appreciated, I have looked in the help but couldnt see it? Rob ... View more

We're seeing odd behaviour using Apply Edits from the REST API (called from a Silverlight App).  We have a double field and if we insert a double 10 digits in length (or less) it inserts, but if the double is greater than 10 digits in length it fails to insert? Has anyone seen this, or confirm this behaviour? Kind Regards, Rob BTW we run ArcSDE 9.2 on an Oracle database, with ArcGIS Server 10. ... View more

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to configure one of the editing samples with the Dojo Accordian panes: I've taken this simple editor sample: http://resources.esri.com/help/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm ...and I am trying to wire it up with the Accordian panel as illustrated in the San Diego Neighborhood example from the 2009 UC: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16445 The problem is I'm just getting the blue outline for the template picker and no options to pick from.  The template picker works prior to adding it to the accordian.  The contents of my JavaScript File is below, but am I missing something obvious, should it be possible to place a template picker inside an accordian pane or not?

Hello, I'm sure these are simple answers?  I'm trying to modify the Identify task sample to work with any number of layers, instead of just the 3 which are specified in the sample, but I'm a bit lost on the purpose for some of the lines of code, some comments would be useful. For example, what happening here:         layer2results = {displayFieldName:null,features:[]};         layer3results = {displayFieldName:null,features:[]};         layer4results = {displayFieldName:null,features:[]};         for (var i=0, il=idResults.length; i<il; i++) {           var idResult = idResults;           if (idResult.layerId === 2) {             if (!layer2results.displayFieldName) {layer2results.displayFieldName = idResult.displayFieldName};             layer2results.features.push(idResult.feature); How come displayFieldName is so important?  What is the feature:[] array, where does that come from? Any help appreciated, Rob ... View more

Hi, I'm trying to modify an ESRI sample: http://resources.esri.com/help/webapi/javascript/arcgis/demos/featurelayer/fl_hover.html I use the OnMouseOver event to hightlight the feature, then I want to use the onMouseUp or onClick to open a hyperlink (stored as a value in an attribuite field in a new window).  I can't get the OnMouseUp event to fire?  I understand that this should be inherited from the Graphics Layer class?
