I was having the same problem as is discussed in this thread. I was also getting this error: Error: Error handling service request : Cannot obtain a free instance.; nested exception is: com.esri.arcgis.discovery.ejb.ArcGISServerEJBException: com.esri.arcgis.discovery.servicelib.AGSException: AutomationException: 0x80004005 - Unspecified error Code: 500 Granting the ArcGIS Server user full security on the folder with my data resolved both problems.

Jamal, To publish a mosaic data set you need an image server license, where as a raster catalog you don't Regards Anthony Many thanks Anthony and Domenico, But why adding rasters to catalog dataset takes longer than mosaic dataset particularly when adding like 80 images?

I think the recommended approach is to let the RDBMS handle the backup of your databases, as this takes care of recent edits in transaction logs as well if you choose to backup those as well, as shown in the links I posted. That said, you may wish to do a system image backup of your server as well once in a while, if you are concerned with the entire state of the PC and all its software. On a regular Windows 7 / 8 "Home edition" type test machine, you can use the System Image backup option to do that (Control Panel / Backup). This will allow you to restore the entire system to a new hard disk in one go in case of a fatal hard disk failure. You will probably need to restore your database afterwards as well to get to the most recent state of the database. There are probably more issues and things to take care of in a true Windows Server 2008/2012 server machine backup, consult the Microsoft pages for that. E.g. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj713536.aspx Many thanks Marco, I got the point. The issue is that I have been using the sync software since long time ago (before being engaged to sql server data) and never had a problem. If the mdf files do change with no changes in size and date then I�??m forced to try the options you have already recommended All the best Jamal ... View more

This really isn't a developer-y problem at all: [ATTACH=CONFIG]23548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]23549[/ATTACH] That tool requires an advanced license, which you have on desktop but not server.. Hi Robert, I managed to get an evaluation copy for the ArcGIS Server Advanced and the tool worked like a charm http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/78352-Displaying-more-than-one-%28x-y%29-point?p=295355#post295355 Many thanks Best Jamal ...

Jamal, it looks like you are getting closer.  You will only be able to see one result at a time in ArcGIS desktop, because the data is overwritten in the scratchworkspace each time you run the tool.  This works as designed.  Now, if you run the script successfully, you should be able to publish a geoprocessing service. I checked your projection system for your data and it looks fine.  There shouldn't be any issues there. What I will suggest you do is check your geoprocessing service settings.  Specifically look at the Parameters and look for the View Results with a Map Service.  Make sure the box is checked.  I have this checked and I can see my geoprocessing results for the same tool I built for our organization. After you check your service, re-run the tool in the application builder.  When you run the tool, the results will appear in the table of contents, then you can zoom to layer using the out of the box tool.  If you run the tool again, another result will appear in the table of contents on top of the other one in the table of contents.  This will give your multiple results that you are wanting. I think you are close, because you were able to publish the service.  Check your service settings again. Hi Ian, I got a help form Mr. Robert and the issue was related to level of license of my ArcGIS Server. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/82268-Python-script-tool-works-in-Desktop-but-fails-in-Web?p=290652#post290652 I managed to get an evaluation license for the ArcGIS Server Advanced and the tool worked like a charm [ATTACH=CONFIG]24038[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24039[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24040[/ATTACH] Many thanks Best Jamal ...

Jamal, The solution is not to rely on synch software, but to use the build-in options of the DBMS to do the job in an automated scheduled way. Here are some links that may be of use for SQL Server, but you can find a ton others by Googling: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186289.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187510.aspx http://weblogs.asp.net/sreejukg/archive/2010/01/20/scheduling-automated-backup-using-sql-server-2008.aspx http://outcoldman.com/en/blog/show/214 Thank you very much Marco, Yes. We do like to hear from experts some kind of solutions! And that�??s what you did Marco! Well, I would prefer to have my mdf files synchronized with my software to ensure that all types of other data are backed up IN ONE GO! However, this is a good solution [ATTACH=CONFIG]23998[/ATTACH] Appreciated Jamal ... View more

This is just on of those "That's the way the database works" issues.  DBMSes which use file-based data stores (Ora, MS, INF, DB2, but not PG) manage the blocks themselves.  The blocks must be preallocated so initial inserts to a new table *won't* change the file size, unless there's so many inserts that auto-grow allocates more storage. - V Many thanks Vince, This is very risky! Particularly when taking backup by synchronizing the data! My synchronization software didn�??t detect any change between the source and the destination and thus the new inserted layer is not backed up. This is really a problem!
