custom code for the user end...its a lot of work for such a tiny change. Id just have the CV have both languages in the selection to the user... call it a day. (e.g. Field Dropdown has english and french as a selection). e.g.  Fire Hydrant / bouche d'incendie    ... View more

besides the flood of doc readings you have presented to you.. Nether 6080 or 6443 should be exposed externally.  It should be your web adaptor of 80 or 443 (ssl) that should be exposed running on IIS (for example)... From your Web Server... between Web Adaptor and ArcGIS Server would be 6080 or 6443 (ssl). all REST and SOAP services should go through the web adaptor.. not direct to ArcGIS Server. Your external traffic would hit up something like this: (example based on web adaptor name being 'arcgis') http://gis.yourcompany.com/arcgis/rest/services/[servicefolder]/[servicename]/MapServer you would not be doing http://gis.yourcompany.com:6080/arcgis/rest/services.... ...

This is a bug on a specific version of ArcGIS Server.  There is a patch to fix this.  It would help to know which version of ArcGIS Server you have installed. As per derek's post.. Its an assumption you are running 10.1 on some SP level... thus.. you would need this patch to fix the chrome issue: ArcGIS® for Server 10.1 SP1 – Server Manager Patch for Google Chrome™ and Mozilla Firefox™ | Samples and Utilities ...

Obviously things have changed in 2.3 years since my above post.  VS2013 is supported with 10.3. Check your VS settings with the template imports. there could be several reasons why you are receiving that error... ref: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/get-started/system-requirements/arcobjects-sdk-system-requirements.htm ...

Portal to manage security? I would carefully plan and challenge your reasoning as to why you would want Portal to manage security. (aka Federated).  I avoid this method if possible due to portal - named user cost structure (vs Server core).  e.g. 300 users that need access to a secure layer would require ... 300 named users. (and named users are not cheap). (you only get 50 Portal Named users with an Advanced level server purchase).  There are of course options to group users and use Groups as named users etc.. but there are several rabbit holes with that method depending on what the overall business needs are. ...

Hi Matthew, Could this be an issue with the Local layer widget specifically? (Id suspect it is just as Robert mentioned) - I dont use LL and it all works. Ive ran web applications that use WAB consuming Web Maps in Portal (public) which contain several MapServer and FeatureAccess Services.   The authentication happens on the ArcGIS Web adaptor level.. ActiveDirectory.  And ArcGIS Server is Windows Auth using AD, thru must go through web adaptor for authentication. depending on the user and their role.. that is the layers they see (based on which ArcSOC service security role is set and the layer resides in).  Not using Local Layer widget.. it all works fine. Also, further note, is that if any user is part of the ADMIN or PUBLISH role for ArcGIS Server, regardless of the role settings on that MapServer/FeatureServer (even if No roles are selected) - they will see ALL layers. Only bug I found was IF the last layer (or First) has specific roles applied (beyond the 'Allow access to all users who are logged in' ... that any user not apart of the role .. the entire web app would fail to load the layers. there are some workarounds for that of course. ...

In your app\config-json, there is a Mobile section that I know of but not a means for device dependent.  Id be interested to know if this is possible as well. "mobileLayout": {             "widgetOnScreen": {                 "widgets": { ... View more

If there is a web server available to you, I would download your web app from AGOL and host it locally.  This would then allow you to proxy with credentials for using credits for Networking and routing. ... View more

Hi Aravind, Unfortunately Paul stated " But I'm not running the app locally".  as in not using IIS. If Paul was, I dont think there would be an issue. ... View more

ESRI Addins are installed in a hidden folder AssemblyCache under Apptadata. e.g. C:\Users\[YOU]\AppData\Local\ESRI\Desktop10.3\AssemblyCache\  {xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx} I prefer having addins as 'shared' on a network location and then setting the Regkey of the user machine to a network path where addins reside. This is done here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\Desktop10.3\Settings\AddinFolders\   PATH STRING as KEY This allows ALL users to be on the same addin, when upgrades occur it is simply replace the one addinx file on the network location... on a new instance (open arcmap or catalog) , the internal values are compared.. if different, the new addin is loaded locally. If you delete an addinx ... on a new instance opening (arcmap), the addin is deleted from the local. Doing the above does not require any 'silent uninstall'. You can also go further and change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\Desktop10.3\Settings\BlockAddins   to a value of =1  so that no addins can be added by the user... this keeps everyone using the same addins, toolbars and extensions.  There is other ways such as using the ESRIRegAddIn.exe ... but that is a different discussion. ...

ArcGIS Pro licensing is handled online rather than locally. Licenses are handled when you sign into your online account (not ESRI Accounts). https://www.arcgis.com/home/signin.html​ Once you sign in, you will go to Manage Licenses And in here, you can Assign any  user an ArcGIS Pro License. - in this case, will be you. Notes:  Any user that requires using ArcGIS Pro requires an ESRI Account. There are options to 'check out' the ArcGIS Pro License for 'offline use' . ... View more

Hi, I presume you are not running any FeatureAccess Services as you have Grouped layers. Composite/Group layers, yes, I understand the issue. Adding to a map, you can still add layers specifically, rather than the group.  when you add the layer to the web map, point to the specific MapServer/[DIGIT].  However this is no longer grouped in the web map if that is for desired results for a web/mobile application, it is a weak alternative however. Alternate options are  1. Get out of AGOL, this is a non-issue with a non federated portal and ArcGIS Server in house. 2.  Be fruitful in your planning of deploying a web map to minimize having to 'redo' map functionality after every publish. Maybe someone has a nifty way of fixing or avoiding this in AGOL and post their comments! Wish I could help more. ... View more

Hopefully i didnt confuse the discussion. Regarding the Unique ID, this is, as far as I have seen, is only when Portal is Federated with ArcGIS Server.  The second part to this is... widgets in the web app, such as Query or Search etc...rely on the layer integer from the Rest service.. if one overwrites the service, but has added one layer.. lets say in the middle of the layers.  Pure hypothetical example... 10 layers so {0} to {9} in the REST service.. and you added another layer in the middle... anything referencing {6} up to now {10} would break... I usually just go back into the JSON and change for a quick fix. (if using WAB).  THis is because in JSON e.g. search is looking at [[MapService]/MapServer/5 but that is now a different layer.. because you added one (for example). so it needs to be changed. If you republish with No changes, nothing should break. Alternatively, you could add a layer to the end of the TOC, have the layer added in the web map at the end of the Layer List.. and all queries, popups, summarize widgets etc.. would still work, (anything above that newly added layer.)  anything after.. would not. Another example: Please let me know that I understood your question. ... View more

This is the inherited design of Portal federated with server.  Unique IDs are made per ImageLayer etc... The next is layer Incremental value within the map, just like in the TOC of an ArcMap Session. Especially if you 'add more layers' to the web map where as any layer (below) the added layer position, has popups / Queries / Summaries and any other widget that uses the layers specifically below the layer list... will break.  This means you have to strategically create your web maps.  Knowing the impacts of 'changes' that may be needed.  This is of course, if you are 'adding layers'. ...
