After days of troubleshooting the services I finally called ESRI Tech Support.  They determined that everything was fine with my server and my services but there was definite heavy SQL usage.  So, their database team called me and seemed to instantly know what my problem was.  It was the new "DEFAULTS" value for GEOMETRY_STORAGE in the dbtune table. In previous versions it was set to SDEBINARY, now in 10.1 it is set to GEOMETRY which is slower.  I recreated my database feature classes using the SDEBINARY for the spatial type and everything is back up to the same speed as it was in 10.0 I used the sde command line tools to change the default setting to be SDEBINARY so that future feature classes that are created will use that.  If we find that we need GEOMETRY for the spatial storage type we can always select it. Thanks, Luci Hi Luci, I�??m experiencing the same problem and my web applications are really slow in displaying my maps. I�??m thinking to publish data from file geodatabase instead of ArcSDE geodatabase (SQL server database) as I have been advised that file geodatabase is much faster than ArcSDE geodatabase. Replication could be used then to synchronize between the ArcSDE geodatabase (which is used as multiuser environment) and the file geodatabase (which is used as data source for publishing and thus URLs used in the web application can be faster) I�??m not sure if Rebuild Indexes, Analyze Datasets and Compressing of the SQL server databse might have an influence to speed up reading the data from the SQL server database.

Hi everyone I am beginner at arcgis 10.1 Server. So I am working on small sample data. I ve configured my mxd file. and wanted to publish at my localhost. I set my cache settings, my scale levels, Image Format(PNG32). then I clicked publish button. After a short progress it said completed. But I don't believe. because It couldnt be that much short. When I want to test at preview page, I saw I was correct. It was showing white blank page. no map. I clicked "View Cache Status". It says %0.0 of the tiles are present. and the generation is not in progress. I searched it on internet. I tried something. I restarted ArcCatalog. but no. Still 0.0%. but after an hour, in some way that I dont know, I realized map comes to preview. that time I though it is ok. but when I zoom to low scales, map was blur. So only small part of map has been generated. I checked View Cache Status. Now It says 1.2%. but still says "Tile generation is not in progress". Now it is still not generating. I Also made small tests at Arcgis Server 10.0 months ago, but I din't get this problem? what is the solution of this? how can I force arccatalog to generate tile? I have the same issue. I started a cache with settings shown in the screenshots below but I got the message �??the generation is not in progress�?� [ATTACH=CONFIG]24889[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24890[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24891[/ATTACH] What might be the problem here? ...

Did you generate your cache based on the purple feature class?  It wouldn't have generated tiles for the white space which could make up a significant number of tiles for the whole cache.  The full cache would be rectangular. Thank you very much Tim for the help, I�??m attaching the feature class based on which the area of interest for the cache is defined. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24865[/ATTACH] I wanted the scale to reach 1:1,000 but sounds no way to do so. I tried it with 1:2,500 but still has issues. Considering the time/size needed for the cache, then the cache is like a nightmare! Then what might be the best practice to cache my attached map up to scale 1:1000 with reasonable time/size Best Jamal ... View more

The code is just for the window, you need to implement the addIn. I modified a bit mine and attach it, try it and see if that's what you need. I label in the screen X,Y because I do not know you map reference, I can not attach the hole code project because is like 8 mb, I put the addIn code and the Tool.xml. If you want build a project with the same name (CoordJamal), and replace the folder and then replace thr Tool.xml file in ..\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\CoordJamal\CoordJamal\CoordJamal\Config. Then you can change it as you want. You can change the position of the X,Y window in the configuration when you add it in the viewer or in the Tool.xml, I use <WindowPosition>   <HorizontalAlignment>Center</HorizontalAlignment>   <VerticalAlignment>Bottom</VerticalAlignment>   <HorizontalOffset>0</HorizontalOffset>   <VerticalOffset>0</VerticalOffset> </WindowPosition> Hope it help, let me know if it work or need something else. Regards, Manuel Many thanks man for the massive efforts. It worked fine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24856[/ATTACH] I have posted many threads asking for the map scale to be plugged on the Silverlight. I�??m not sure if you have already developed such tool [ATTACH=CONFIG]24857[/ATTACH] Best Jamal ... View more

Are there any plans for ESRI to develop an identify tool that can handle related objects?  When I say related objects, the tool needs to handle several levels of related objects rather than one.  I really do not know why this has not been considered. The problem with the pop up is with the mouse click.  Other tools use the left mouse click, for instance if you perform a pan, sometimes when you go to pan, the pop up appears when you do not want it to. There really needs to be an identify manager. . meaning when you click on the icon from the toolbar, a manager comes up and allows you to choose the layer you want to identify.  With the pop-up, they are all enabled depending on what was configured.  In our case, we have over 80 layers configured with the pop-up.  Our users need to be able to see attributes for these features.  End users within my organization are not really happy with the pop up. Also, I have created a redline tool set that includes editing the graphic.  Editing the graphic requires a left mouse click to select the graphic for editing.  Guess what?. . .when the graphic becomes selected for editing using the left mouse click the pop up will appear unless you are exactly on the right spot of the graphic.  It is a hit and miss.  In other words, there is competition between the pop-up and selecting redline graphics with the left mouse click.  To work around this, I have had to make the graphic editing a right click, then they can go back to the left mouse click to edit the graphic. I have asked the question before if there are plans for ESRI to develop an identify tool or a manager similar to what was available in the web ADF, but nobody has given me an answer.  Just know, that there is limited configuration with the pop-up and that is frustrating as a developer.  The thing I do not like is that the pop up is on at all time, meaning that if you have several layers with the pop-up configured, you can be at full extent do a left mouse click on the map and a pop up appears.  This is an annoying behavior.  I would love to give a demo to ESRI to show the behavior I am describing. Hi Ian, I have posted many threads asking for very basic tools/functions/behaviour in the Silverlight (viewer) but sounds not to have most of them For example, till now the Map Scale is not there while we are dealing all he time with maps and we need to know about the scales [ATTACH=CONFIG]24855[/ATTACH] Best Jamal ...

I have the same issue - the application crashes intermittently during development. Another issue includes losing the reference to images when customising tasks. Its a pretty unstable application, but worth putting up with given how much time it save building applications. Thanks Nick, Hope to have significant enhancements in the coming releases Best Jamal ... View more

Jamal, the Generate Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme (Server) tool does not need to have the area of interest parameter because it is served for another purposes - to generate an XML tiling scheme file that defines the scale levels, tile dimensions, and other properties for a map service cache. This schema can be used thereafter by other map services. When you want to limit what area of your map service will be cached, you use another tool - Manage Map Server Cache Tiles (Server). This is how the software is designed. Many thanks Alexey for the elaboration. It is obvious now. Best Jamal ... View more

What is your evidence for this?  A surface may look more or less smooth at different scales and different resolutions: that would be an artifact of display and discretization, respectively.  But it will be the same surface regardless of the units of distance. The reason I am sceptical of this claim is that when the distance units change, all distances are multiplied by some constant r (such as 1/1000 when converting from meters to kilometers)  This multiplies all weights by r^(-p) and that factor cancels out in the formula, whence the interpolated values do not change at all. Please notice, too, that a change of "units" between meters and decimal degrees is not actually a change of units: it is a projection or unprojection.  This nonlinear transformation of locations will necessarily cause the IDW interpolated values to change. There's always the possibility of a bug in the calculations, but  that's the last thing to consider, after other plausible explanations  are ruled out. Many thanks d.stelder and William for the contribution, Searching the internet, I could found the equation below along with very meaningful explanation [ATTACH=CONFIG]24852[/ATTACH] All what we need now is a confirmation from ESRI that this is the one used in ArcGIS Cheers Jamal ...
