So what is going on when this does not exist on my Portal? If I click Home >> System >> Web Adaptors    -  it is empty.  there is just a Resources: Configuration Yet, my web adaptor is set up. ... View more

ArcMap does not use REST services. Ginger mentions nothing about 'web' applications, only Desktop ESRI software, specifically Layer files. ... View more

Incorrect. The url is NOT faulty.  Do not add /rest/ Accessing SOAP service is correct. If you wish to look at it via Browser: add the WSDL to the end and you will see the Service is working as intended as seen here. http://services.nconemap.gov/arcgis/services/?wsdl Desktop (ArcMap / Catalog) use SOAP service, not REST.  RESTful is for web / mobile ...

You could run Fiddler (admin) and perhaps see what is going on web traffic wise... ... View more

Enabling Archiving is indeed the correct way to access data on a time stamp level. Right click on the Database Connection DEFAULT is Current, or you can give it a date.. then the connection takes place... all your featureclasses etc are actually being viewed by a View on the back end. e.g. table name OWNER would have a view OWNER_EVW.   Editing the view for example OWNER_EVW, runs the TRIGGERS to modify the 'raw' tables.  9999 dates are current and actual dates are of those dates. I use this technique for identifying changes of parcels within a time period. You can then also implement the time scaling in maps...etc etc. Downfall to this is of course, no data is ever deleted. DB size grows. ... View more

have the layer set to visible = false? Does Fiddler point to any clue as to why the slowness? Which WMS version? ... View more

assuming you are telling us that you 'attempted to UPDATE the layer files with the NEW service.. as in 'SET Data Source. And was using a new ArcGIS Server (User) connection... I tried your SOAP services without issue. I was able to add your Services directly to TOC... able to export out to a lyr file.. could ADD that layer file, re-source to another SOAP service. I am using 10.2.2 however. Perhaps there is a patch or SP needed for 10.1x.   which 10.1 build are you running? ... View more

I knew about this Bing Map change and possibly having to get a Bing Maps Key in order to add Bing Maps as a base map, however you could still access Bing Maps via the "Add Data from ArcGIS On-line".  Is this option of access to Bing Maps no longer available also? Kurt not "possibly". You HAVE to get a Bing Key. ESRI is no longer paying Microsoft for ArcMap users to leverage using Bing Maps. you can access adding the Bing map service (which is just a lyr file stored locally) through the add data from arcgis online, but would have to supply the BING key for you to not get the classic red exclaimation or red 'x'. if you are running 10.1 you need to install the Patch to allow you to enter in the key, if 10.2, it is already built in as ESRI. Run down, once you have added your purchased Key from Microsoft, you add BING maps as you always would have, via ArcGIS-Online (add data) ... View more

I wasnt aware of ESRI upgrading Addins SDK for VS2012, only VS2010 at this time. ... View more

I had much better success using OnActivate()   System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor    'do stuff     My.ArcMap.Application.CurrentTool = Nothing End Sub This is not correct, this is changing the windows cursor, meaning your cursor would change for all places on the screen regardless of location. Using what I had done, means the cursor changes ONLY when you are in the Map Window itself. Moving the cursor out of the map window to a toolbar changes back to the proper Pointer. ... View more

There are a vast amount of variables here. 1st off, you say 'huge' I laugh, we have caches 10x that size even with small areas, mind you, we go down to 1:256 for some serious details. Even with a tiny area, you are going down to the 1000 level so depending on the project area, size would be expected and by using Exploded method (which creates many folder directories as well as jpgs (though the advantage to this is 'merging' caches quite easily) the size problem is exaggerated. Its again further exaggerated by using 128x128 tiles and again exaggerated using png without compression. Try re-running the cache by selecting EXTENT of the map (after of course, getting the area you want) - I have had strange problems with using features as the area of interest (however, I think this was due to custom projections being used) Use MIXED Tile format at 75 compression - you wont notice a difference! Use 512x512 tile Use Bundle format (compressed storage format) as for the estimates shown, Ive yet to see one that is accurate or really close - its a big 'guess' done by samples and algorithms. as for the 'caching never ends successful' what does the geodatabase results show you? which failures, if any are in the attribute table? Another thing you can do is create the service MANUALLY cache and send the GP request through Cache manager in Catalog to the map service when published. ... View more

Unsuccessful in managing to automate this... No means to automate: "select all your CAD files from the catalog window and drag and drop them on the List type CAD dataset variable." why is everything so difficult lol. ... View more
