Hi Jamal, Please review the documentation that I referenced in my first post in this thread, it discusses these topics. For example, using cached services might be better for static/background data versus using dynamic services for only your business/operational data. Again, please read the help topic in my first post. The more services your web application references, the more likely it may need more time to load them when the web application first loads in your web browser. Sometimes having your web service source data in a file geodatabase might be faster than having it stored in an ArcSDE geodatabase. I think your statement that the Web ADF application builder is the "best" is pretty subjective. Yes, it currently does have some more options, but it is built on legacy technology and does not support the new ArcGIS for Server functionality. We are actively working to improve both the Flex and Silverlight Viewers by augmenting their capabilities with each new release. Hope this helps, Hi Derek, I need to highlight two points: �?� I tried to publish the data stored in file geodatabase and found out that the performance (speed) has enhanced significantly! Which trades off can be made here between having the data stored in ArcSDE geodatabase to allow multiuser environment or storing it in file geodatabase for better performance? �?� I have been posting a question but never got an answer: are Silverlight and Flex (viewers) much faster that ADF? Thanks Jamal ... View more

If you go to settings on the top right and go to Add-Inns, do you still see the query tool there? Many thanks Jonathan for the answer, Silverlight is really unstable and continues to have weird behaviours. �?� Sure the �??Query tool�?� is there in the package (screenshot below) [ATTACH=CONFIG]24829[/ATTACH] �?� I tried to have drop down list using the �??Query tool�?� but sounds not to work. I tried it in the ADF and it worked perfectly. Please, have a look on the screenshots below (data is attached) [ATTACH=CONFIG]24830[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24831[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24832[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24833[/ATTACH] What might be the issue here?

I never discovered what was wrong. But since the server has been rebooted, the error has not re-surfaced. Hi Dallas, But what issues behind this error? Do we need to reboot our server each time we get this error? Best Jamal ... View more

If the packaging failed, it's best to check the GP Results windows for additional information about the error. If error lead you to believe that Desktop cannot connect to the server, try running Fiddler to see if you can find the failed request to the GIS Server. On the server side, you need to make sure the Publishing Service is running. It's also good to test your publishing as the Primary Site Administrator to make sure it's not a security configuration issue. If anyone in the thread reporting these problems is experiencing them today, please contact Esri Support so an analyst can help diagnose what the problem is. Thank you, Andrew I�??m experiencing the same problem with no significant solution. I do agree with Chris, how come we are able to publish and after short time we are not! This problem is recognized by multiple users and should have sort of robust solution.

Hi, as far as I know, it is possible by editing layout file. Check out this thread. Filip It worked like a charm. Thank you very much Filip [ATTACH=CONFIG]24804[/ATTACH] Cheers Jamal ... View more

Yes, it will work. But you may need additional licenses, I would check with your ESRI account manager on that question. Many thanks Bubba for the answer. I�??ll be checking this with our local distributor Cheers Jamal ... View more

You should build an addIn, build the control containing the coordinates of the mouse, put it in a floating window (i attach you a transparent version one), and then configure the window position. I think it was explain a while ago in this forum, I take my solution from here I think. Mmm I really don't remember, It was a year ago I build it. Anyway hope it helps. Here is a picture of how it looks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24781[/ATTACH] Regards, Manuel Many thanks Manuel for the help, Unfortunately, I�??m not a developer to do it in my own. However, is there a way just to stick the code you have provided in my *.htm and thus having the coordinates appeared on the map? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24791[/ATTACH] ... View more

Jamal, Maybe others will join-in with more concrete recommendations, but in general, questions like these can be hard to answer without detailed knowledge of the type of data and services you would like implement. One thing though, I can imagine the two server setup with data for the webservices being directly accessed from another server, causing issues with network traffic. You may wish to replicate the database to a second child database on the webserver. In general though, having a two server setup, with one server being "production", and a second server doing the task of the "webserver", this last one best located within a so-called "demilitarized zone" inbetween two - preferably hardware based - firewalls, is a recommended approach. You may find the resources on this ESRI page useful though in making strategic decisions about your system design: System Design Strategies Preface http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/System_Design_Strategies_Preface Very much appreciated Marco. The answer you have provided is very useful and the link as well Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Please review this help topic to learn more about pooling and instances in web services: Tuning and configuring services Hope this helps, Many thanks Derek for the help, The link you have supplied is very useful but I don�??t feel that I got a definite answer for my question. Let�??s have the following scenario: In the screenshot below I have a service named �??T5�?� with the following tuning: �?� Minimum number of instances per machine: 1 �?� Maximum number of instances per machine: 2 �?� Isolation: high [ATTACH=CONFIG]24755[/ATTACH] In this particular case, does this mean that the maximum number of users who can access the �??T5�?� service AT THE SAME TIME by a web application is 2? And thus if the third concurrent user tries to access it then his/her web application fails? Also I couldn�??t figure out the following issues pertaining to tuning: 1. The distinction between the service (T5, for example) and its instances? Does the instance refer to the ArcSOC.exe generated in the processes of the operating system that takes from the RAM of the machine? 2. The distinction between the instance and its processes (instance per process)? In my case The service is: T5 The instance is: ArcSOC.exe Then what is the process? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24756[/ATTACH] 4. Why the max/min number of instances is set to be PER machine? Which machines? Is it the host (server) machine? Or the client machine that uses the service/instance/process? 5. It is correct to say that �??high isolation�?� option will be consuming the CPU of the host machine and thus slowing accessing the services by web applications and in return �??low isolation�?� will significantly enhance the speed of accessing the services be web application (while taking much size of the RAM)?

Sure. Search for "Area of interest to cache" section in the help here. You would need to specify a feature class which extent you want to use to generate map cache tiles when running the GP tool or using the Service Editor wizard. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//015400000414000000 Some considerations when caching on feature boundaries: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Map_caching_based_on_feature_boundaries/01540000044z000000/ Many thanks Alexey for the help, My point is why the �??Generate Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme�?� tool doesn�??t have this property and thus the area of interest is set as the data is published Best Jamal ...

Hi Jamal, Looks like something's not working properly with the Silverlight plugin in your web browser. Perhaps you should try to re-install the Microsoft Silverlight plugin? Hope this helps, I did but with no luck. Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Something in your OS/web server configuration(s) likely must have changed between the time the applications were working and now not working. I haven't heard of the ArcGIS Viewers for Flex and Silverlight all of a sudden stop working for no apparent reason. Please contact Esri Technical Support - they are best equipped to help you troubleshoot and diagnose the problem. Good luck, Many thanks Derek. Best Jamal ... View more
