Hello, everyone. I am sincerely hoping I can get some help here. I recently upgraded our ARcGIS environment from 10.7 to 10.9.2, including the ArcGIS server and Portal for ArcGIS. Everything has been functioning very well for almost six months, and suddenly, we are no longer able to publish any web or feature layers to the servers. We are also not able to overwrite existing services. Each time I keep getting this same generic error "Failed to publish web layer" I have tried publishing from various ArcGIS Pro and even ArcMap, without success. I came across some suggestions to check the SSL certificates and ensure they are not expired. I have done all that, yet I have had no success. I need some help here. I also have another issue which I do not know if they are related and that is, the Logs on the ArcGIS server is not displaying, it keeps spinning and spinning. Could this be a bug?

Esri had released some patches for the enterprise ArcGIS of which we were unaware. Thank you, George, for the suggestion and link. I got the issue resolved by running the "Check for ArcGIS Enterprise Updates" search on my Portal for ArcGIS server. It came up with two patches which also include a security patch. The patches were installed, and the issue resolved.

Our Portal for ArcGIS home site does not display the upper section containing the login and the menu when browsing from Google Chrome. It displays the upper portion when opened with Microsoft Edge but also has some errors at the bottom Google Chrome developer tool On researching I got t and tried out the solution proffered on this link Problem: Portal for ArcGIS Sign in Page Interface Does Not Display in Chrome (esri.com) But it didn't resolve the issue and it appears my case is quite different because I am seeing a different error message when I open the Google Chrome Developers. Here is what the error message i see from the google chrome

I have a major concern about the collaboration between ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. Organizations with a fully functional ITS are bound to have their network security like Firewalls that block off access to their internal servers which includes the ArcGIS servers and Enterprise Geodatabase. This is the case of my own organization, so in most cases, efforts to edit layers that are situated inside your Enterprise Database from external sites like ArcGIS Online will be hard because of the firewall. But doing the same thing with the Portal for ArcGIS worked perfectly because that is within our intranet. In your case, I will advise you make a choice to have your field maps published and edited on ArcGIS Online or on Portal for ArcGIS. Unfortunately, most of these Esri Apps work perfectly with ArcGIS online as a lot of them are not even available on Portal for ArcGIS. I am hoping that Esri will look more closely into the collaboration issue between ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS as it has also not worked for our organization. It has been a big issue here too

I'm very happy to announce that this issue has been resolved. These are the things I did. 1. Reindexing to update the index 2. Restart Portal for ArcGIS Server Service on the portal server 3. Clear Browser cache 4. Contact Esri support Analyst and we did further troubleshoot and the only additional click that got the issue resolved was this: We do have two Portal for ArcGIS URLs; one is the public facing and one is internal which I didn't bother to check or click on since I completed the upgrade. The internal URL has the server's name in the URL So, we decided to check out the Internal URL and that worked very well, and all the Portal contents displayed correctly. So, we went back to try the public facing URL and somehow it started functioning well, all the information in the content folder now displayed correctly. So we suspected that the clicking on the internal URL refreshed the entire server content and enabled them to be displayed the Public facing URL. But for sure, I do not understand the technology behind the incident; so, anyone that can have better explanation to this would be appreciated and an added knowledge here. thanks all

I recently upgraded from enterprise 10.7.1 to enterprise 10.9.1, Everything went well but i found that the personal content folder of my users no longer displays their maps and apps, and they are unable to overwrite or publish maps to their content folder. I have done the -reindexing and restarted the portal for arcgis service on the server - that didn't resolve the issue I checked the storage size on my portal server, - that has more than enough space >603GB Now my users are all down. I notice there seems to be a disparity on the contents path showing on the portal admin and the one showing on my server. The portal admin Jason shows this --- {"type":"fileStore","provider":"FileSystem","connectionString":"E:\\arcgisportal\\content"} While the physical server drive shows this --- E:\arcgisportal\content\items Could this be the problem?? the next subfolder Items??? Please I need urgent help on this as all my users are currently unable to do anything

Hello Everybody! Please I really need help with this python script. The objective of the script is to list all the mxd files in the specified folder, identify all the layers within the mxd that were sourced from my old SDE database server, and then change the layer source to my new SDE database server. In other words, the main purpose of the script is to do a bulk data source change for all the layers in my mxd files So far the script is able to list all the mxds and the paths of the layer sources but it is not changing the data sources for layers in my SDE as needed import arcpy, os, getpass newServer = "TNR-GISSQL19-P" user = getpass.getuser() #user_dir = os.path.join(u'C:\\Users\\', user) user_dir = u'Y:\\VIEWERS\\T' ### this specifies the directory containing the mxd files os.chdir(user_dir) ############create logfile############ logfile = open("logfile_for_Shade_upgrade.txt", "w") ## creates a logfile print>>logfile, "User's home directory: %r" % user_dir ############create mxdList############ mxdList = [] for dirpath,_,filenames in os.walk(user_dir): for name in filenames: if name.endswith('.mxd'): mapdoc= os.path.join(dirpath, name) mxdList.append(mapdoc) print>>logfile, "------MXD List:------" ############print MXDs to logfile############ for mapdoc in mxdList: print>>logfile, mapdoc for file in mxdList: print>>logfile, "---Searching for SDE connections in: %r" % file filePath = os.path.join(user_dir, file) mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(filePath) for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd): try: if lyr.supports("dataSource"): try: ## if lyr.supports("SERVICEPROPERTIES") and lyr.serviceProperties['ServiceType'] == u'SDE' and 'Server' in lyr.serviceProperties and lyr.serviceProperties['Server'] == u'Frogmouth': if lyr.supports("SERVICEPROPERTIES") and lyr.serviceProperties['ServiceType'] == u'SDE' and lyr.serviceProperties['Server'] == u'frogmouth': ## print>>logfile, lyr.serviceProperties print>>logfile, "layer uses Frogmouth" try: serverName = lyr.serviceProperties[u'Server'] databaseName = lyr.serviceProperties[u'Database'] if not databaseName.endswith('.sde'): databaseName += '.sde' print>>logfile, "Updating: %r, %r:" %(lyr.serviceProperties['Server'], lyr.serviceProperties['Database']) layerName = lyr.datasetName print>>logfile, "Layer name: %r" % layerName if lyr.supports("workspacePath"): find = lyr.workspacePath ## herein lies the problem, some lyr.workspacePath do not exist print>>logfile, "Current path: %r" % find replacePath = os.path.join(user_dir+"\\AppData\\Roaming\\ESRI\\Desktop10.7\\ArcCatalog\\",os.path.os.path.basename(newServer)+"_"+databaseName) print>>logfile, "New Path: %r" % replacePath mxd.replaceWorkspaces(find,"SDE_WORKSPACE",replacePath,"SDE_WORKSPACE",False) print>>logfile, "****************%r has been updated successfully" % lyr.datasetName else: print>>logfile, "!!!!!!Connection path not valid!

I recently replaced my existing data server with a new server thus a new server name and path. My existing data server is named skunk while my new server is tesclon. I need to reroute all the datasources in my over 300 mxd files that points to skunk to now point to Tesclone. The script has been modified and some print statements were used to capture what is going on. It is able to access the new data path and the old datapath, it is also able to list the mxd files and datasource path but it seems not able to execute the "find and replace datasource" So i really need help at this juncture. #Tell the script which data path needs to be updated oldPath = r"\\skunk\GIS\Projects\Irene" #Tell the script what the new data path is newDataPath = r"\\isilonc1\dept\tnr\skunk\GIS\projects\Irene" #### Stop editing the code here #### #use arcpy to list all of the mxd files def ListMXDSources(path,extension): list_dir = [] CountList = [] MapList = [] list_dir = os.listdir(path) count = 0 for paths, dirctory, files in os.walk(path): for file in files: if file.endswith(extension): # eg: '.mxd' MapList.append(os.path.join(paths, file)) return(MapList) print MapList for m in MapList: count += 1 mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(m) #-------------Use below to call the function----------------# mxdList = ListMXDSources(path=r"\\skunk\GIS\Projects\Irene",extension=".mxd") #print the total number of mxd files if len(mxdList) == 0: print "There are no mxd files found in this directory." if len(mxdList) == 1: print "There is "+str(len(mxdList))+" mxd file found in this directory." if len(mxdList) > 1: print "There are "+str(len(mxdList))+" mxd files found in this directory." #set the count of the mxds to 0 count = 0 errorCount = 0 #starting the loop to check for each of the mxds try: for mxds in mxdList: #set the mxd to the workspace with the mxd files mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxds) for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd): if lyr.supports("DATASOURCE"): theData = lyr.dataSource dataSourceCheck = lyr.dataSource[:-8] if dataSourceCheck == oldPath: mxd.findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths(oldPath,newDataPath,False) count += 1 mxd.save() print mxds print dataSourceCheck del mxd except Exception as e: print "The following error has occured:" print e.message print "Because there was an error, you should try re-running the script." errorCount += 1 successCount = count-errorCount print print "The conversion process has finished and "+str(successCount)+" file(s) have been replaced." ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ script output

Rex, "When the origin ArcGIS Server was configured, it looks like admin access through Web Adapter was disabled... so I'm wondering if this is blocking the script from accessing some required contents through the server/arcgis/ Web Adapter endpoints" I'm thinking this could be a problem, Is there a way you can enable this admin access again and run the script once more because you really need an username and password with admin rights. If it fails then we would know that the issue might most probably be on the script. I'm not sure if you have read the documentation provided by the original developers of that script. I will try and past some of the information here for you. The script has 12 parameters and here are the descriptions and requirements. I'm hoping by the time you go through the document below you will be able to identify the issue but if you still are not able to resolve it, we can move on to the next level of critically looking at what you have on your modified script Functionality The script uses twelve parameters. Only one of them is optional: [1] Input Server Name (string) The host name of the origin server. Typically a single name or fully qualified server, such as myServer.esri.com [2] Input Server Port (string) The port number for the origin ArcGIS Server. Typically this is 6080. If you have a web adapter installed with your GIS Server and have the REST Admin enabled you can connect using the web servers port number. [3] Input Server User (long) Administrative username. [4] Input Server Password (string) Administrative password. [5] Service Type (string) The type of the service to migrate. [6] Services (Multiple Value) One or more services to perform an action on. The tool will autopopulate with a list of services when the first 5 parameters are entered. Service names must be provided in the <ServiceName>.<ServiceType> style. [7] Output Server Name (string) The host name of the end server. Typically a single name or fully qualified server, such as myServer.esri.com [8] Output Server Port (long) The port number for the final ArcGIS Server. Typically this is 6080. If you have a web adapter installed with your GIS Server and have the REST Admin enabled you can connect using the web servers port number. [9] Output Server User (string) Administrative username. [10] Output Server Password (string) Administrative password. [11] (optional) Folder (string) A destination folder different from the original/s one/s can be introduced. [12] sysTemp (string) A folder where the services sources are going to be stored. The script uses the username and the password to connect to the original and destination server with a generatetoken action. After accessing to the original server, all services are listed. When the user selects the services to migrate and fills all the parameters the process starts. Firstly, a copy of the selected service's sources is made, this copy is placed in the sysTemp path. After that, all the service's properties are read and modified in the copy done in the sysTemp path. The tool checks if in the destination server exists a folder with the same name as the original one, or with the name defined as a parameter. If not the folder is created. Once the folder is created the tool publish the service using the copied sources. Is important to notice that if the service has special permission (cannot access to it everyone), also this permission is set in the new service. The procedure is: In case the role exists in the destination server: Only the access permission is assigned to the service. In case the role does not exists in the destination server: The role is created with the same characteristics of the original one, the role privileges are assigned to the role and the users within that role are transferred. Note: When the users are copied from one server to another it is not possible to transfer the password of the user so is set by default.

If you are using ArcGIS Server 10.6 or 10.7 this simple option might work for you as it did work for me recently. I needed to move our maps services from ArcGIS 10.6 single server to ArcGIS 10.7 federated with Portal.. The script posted here did not work for me, though it worked perfectly well when i was moving from 10.5.1 standalone server environment to 10.6.1 standalone server environment. If you are getting a Network Error, Just check the ports of the servers. I did experience that error when i was working with the stand alone server , if the ports are incorrect, you will get that error So in my new situation what i did was to simply upgrade the ArcGIS 10.6.2 standalone server to ArcGIS 10.7, so i now have both servers running the same ArcGIS Server version which is 10.7. Then to move the map services across, I use the export and import tools in the Admin server and it worked very easily for me. I do not know the ArcGIS Server environment you are working with but it is good to note that the script we are discussing above works only for Standalone server environment and cannot work for a federated server environment

I recently upgraded my single site ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1 to Federated ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 using the export and import tools on Server Admin page. I noticed that after the import and export task, all the cached map services lost the cached tiles. Please can someone show me how i can import the tiles from the single unfederated server into my federated server Question 2. I am able to see all the imported map services on the ArcGIS Server site but I not able to see these map services when i connect to the ArcGIS Server on ArcCatalog. The folders are showing empty when viewed on ArcCatalog Please I really need help with these. See sample screenshots attached

Hi Vince Please do you still have the link to this FTP. I tried it but it is not working. I have a need to INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE rows in non-versioned layers in ArcSDE. I want to see if your 'C' utility here can provide me with the solution i need. Thanks Irene

Hi Jonathan, I have been able to resolve the socket error issue by simply getting my IT department to change the port of the server from port 6443 to port 6080. Now I am able to push the map services and folders over to the new server but unfortunately, it now comes up with another error of not able to publish the service due to errors found during the analysis. (it does not specify what exactly the error is) Please can you think of what could be the problem here. Your contribution will be highly appreciated. Please see error below. Start Time: Tue Apr 30 09:41:50 2019 ERROR 999999: Error executing function. Unidentified Error Failed to execute (UploadServiceDefinition). Failed at Tue Apr 30 09:41:50 2019 (Elapsed Time: 0.02 seconds) Failed to publish. ** Service 'CWPP//FlamMap_Input_Fuel.MapServer' published successfully.
