Hi Jonathan Quinn We have an ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1. environment. I have powershell scripts that do a full webgisdr backup on Sundays and incremental backups every other day. The VM servers are also backed up everyday using Commvault as part of our organisations enterprise backup policy. My first restore strategy would be to restore from the webgisdr tool given the interdependency between Portal, Server and the Data Store. However, if the webgisdr  restore process failed for some reason I would then try and restore from VM. I understand that a restore from VM can be problematic due to the timing of the backups . I notice you wrote in a previous GeoNet question  "Some organizations rely on VM backups, but they have to be timed correctly with file server backups so you capture the data of the entire deployment at a point in time. If you take backups at different times, you'll have differences in the dependencies between Portal, Server, and Data Store which will cause issues when you attempt to restore the backups" So I contacted our backup provider to check whether or not VM backups all occur at the same time. The response I got was that the backups are scheduled to all start at the same time however because of the way Commvault performs resource management it cant be guaranteed that all of the backups will start at the same time. This is done so as to not flood the VM environment. Essentially they are queued and run through in sequence. My question is how close together do the backups need to be performed. Is within the same hour ok ? (this is out of business hours and no updates to the system should be taking place). Or do the backups all need to be done at the precisely the same instant?

Hi all, I'm getting the following Severe Error in my ArcGIS server (10.6.1) logs.  Unable to instantiate class for xml schema type: ArrayOfCIMMapScale Any ideas of what the Unable to instantiate class for xml schema type: Error is and how to resolve it ? The error code is 50000 I can't seem to find this in the Server Error Codes?  Thanks, Clinton ... View more

Hi all, I've created a hosted Feature Layer with 22000 features. I then created a Hosted View to stop user from having editing access. While the view seems to have been created successfully I get the following error.  This is weird because I can open the view and access the rest end point. All the attribute information looks correct. I can even use the view successfully in a Web App. If I log out of Portal and log back in a then go the the hosted view's item details I get the same error. We're running ArcGIS Enterprise at 10.6.1. I can't see anything in the Server or Portal logs. Any ideas?  Thanks, Clinton ... View more

Hi all, I've just upgraded my Web App Builder to version 2.12 and have associated it with my Portal that is running 10.6.1. I can successfully open Web App Builder and create a project however only when I don't enter values in the Portals Security Allow Origins field. This seems to be at odds with the following technical document https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000018879 that suggest that Web App Builder won't work unless your machinename.domain is added to the Allow Origins white list ? If I add the domain name of the machine to the Allow Origins I get a continuous login redirect when I try to approve access to the portal. I was going to add the following to the Allow Origins to restrict CORS requests -  my domain e.g. https://xyz.com  any machines that have web app builder installed https://machine1name.domain https://machine2name.domain?  Rebecca Strauch, GISP you did you ever add Allow Origins to AGOL as per this thread https://community.esri.com/thread/175351?    Thanks, Clinton  ...
