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.

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.

‎07-05-2013

Interesting approach, I will tinker with this: Just to give you an overview, the overall process requested is full automation controlled by a .net console program which calls python scripts when required for specific tasks. 'there will be no drag drop ability' I have done this in the past and works great! Annotation for this is giving me the grief. (others do not deal with annotation or multple dwgs.) One dwg is no problem. The process is to Download 1000s dwgs from the purchased source and ultimately select out what is wanted and end up truncate/ append in a Direct Connect SQL (SDE). Its unknown the amount of dwgs, or their names at the time of download. Ill go through what you have provided. Thank you.

Then this becomes an issue,. How does one then iterate through 1000's of dwgs and convert to a GDB. Iterate Datasets gives a Dataset, but not able to 'connect' to CAD to Geodatabase Iterate using DataSet type = CAD will not pick up dwgs. this has been a deceiving term used (discussed in other threads). So how does one cycle through all the dwgs in a folder and use the CAD to Geodatabase Geoprocessor? Also, to state "Feature Layers do Not support Annotation" doesnt quite make sense to me, am I missing something? Make Feature Layer works fine when SELECT data / Child Data Element = Annotation is used and is derived from a Geodatabase. I use this in other pyhon scripts. This works for example, but how would you iterate this through many dwgs (and another downfall is MODEL will overwrite the Dataset name in a FGD, but running through python, will increment the dataset name. (I dont want 1000's of Datasets in a FDG, all separate) if possible

Polylines have zero issue, all end up appended. Annotation throws this warning: WARNING 000594: Input feature 302: No support for this geometry type.. I am perplexed as doing this without the iteration, using Cad to Geodatabase, then appending, works. Thoughts? Is this something feasable with python? or does one have to resort back to arcObjects?

Define caching succeeds? "Generation not in progress" could be due to the caching is complete. This does NOT mean you will see 100% as I mentioned above, I have complete caches done showing 18%. There are a lot of variables determining the percents. Did you do what I mentioned and look at the geodatabase status? my bet is it will say SUCCESS for all records.

‎07-03-2013

I know this is an old thread, but... If anyone comes across this, the above post (#3) does not work. CAD dataset type is not a means to select .dwgs, the model above does not work.

‎06-03-2013

The percentages are somewhat meaningless. A completed cache service could be even at 8% like some I have seen. Especially if you send a GP request at a later time, or cache is moved to an existing service.. it will never reach 100%. go into the cached folders in arcgisserver and look in the GDB, all status spatial and tabular information about the cache is there (very detailed)... You can also check cache status with ArcCatalog against the cached service (which is a finer grain) than checking through ArcServer/Manager. There are several means of adjusting the Time/size of caches. 1. compressed MIXED format, down to 50%.. (these are .bundle files) 2. larger tile sizes 3. More instances / processors 4. Use a cluster purely dedicated for caching. 5. cache based on feature polygon, rather than map extents or full extents 6. cache on demand for certain instances just a few I could think of off the top of my head We have done scales down to 1:286 in some maps, or massive area maps down to L18

The Answer if ANYONE is wondering: use the templateInfo >> Prototype.properties. Make sure to include the GDB version and for FeatureServiceProxy.add (1, dObjects, "DEFAULT", true, false)

‎05-06-2013

I tried using the TEMPLATE method, meaning, obtain the table as a template, then adjusting the values... Or in other words, setting the properties of the new object equal to the properties from the templateInfo object. The error I get back through an exception (not the Returned result) is "Attribute Column not found" -2146233087 I get the column name through the table template properties object. How is it unable to find the column when It just told me what it is. Dim pDataObjectTable As ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.DataObjectTable() pDataObjectTable = FeatureServiceProxy.GetTables(Nothing, True) Dim pTemplateInfo As ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.TemplateInfo() pTemplateInfo = pDataObjectTable(0).Templates Dim pDataObject As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.DataObject pDataObject.Properties = pTemplateInfo(0).Prototype.Properties pDataObject.Properties.PropertyArray(1).Value = "TEST" pDataObject.Properties.PropertyArray(0).Value = 123 Dim dataArray As ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.DataObject() = New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.DataObject(0) {} dataArray(0) = pDataObject Dim dObjects As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.DataObjects() dObjects.DataObjectArray = dataArray Dim Result As ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.EditResult() = FeatureServiceProxy.Add(1, dObjects, Nothing, False, False) ESRI?

Anyone? Does anyone have Feature Server 10.1 SOAP experience?

‎05-03-2013

More questions: Should the table in the SDE be registered as Versioned ? Does it require Global ID? Do you have to initiate an edit session in code? I tried using the SOAP.graphicFeature and just not pass any geometry just to see... exception: Function requires a state to be set for stream.... Meaning, edit? If Not versioned, I get an unknown error: error code from return : 127592800 and success = "FAIL" How does one initiate an 'edit' through SOAP? Oh and did I ask why ESRI tossed the much easier and more control method of AGSServerConnection, ServerObjectManager ServerContext IMapServerObjects...

I miss the Context server, ArcObjects in 9.3... There are Zero examples of Feature Service SOAP. Delete was easy... Add is a different story... I am talking about this: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/soap/10.1/index.html#/Add/01vp0000007v000000/ I have no idea how to get this to work... Ideas? I know if this was a FEATURE, i would then use ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.GraphicFeature(), but this is a record for a table that is accessible through a feature service. I am able to get a PropertySet.propertyarray but what to do with it... to get it to a pDataObjects. Dim CatalogServiceProxy As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.ServiceCatalogProxy CatalogServiceProxy.Url = CatalogServiceURL 'If CatalogServiceProxy.RequiresTokens() = True Then ' Dim ArcToken As New ArcServerToken(CatalogServiceURL, UserID, Password) ' Token = ArcToken.GetToken() 'End If Dim FeatureServiceProxy As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.FeatureServerProxy 'FeatureServiceProxy.Url = FeatureServiceURL + "token=" + myToken FeatureServiceProxy.Url = FeatureServiceURL Dim inputfields As ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.PropertySetProperty() = New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.PropertySetProperty(2) {} ' There are TWO Fields / values Dim pPropertySet As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.PropertySet Dim pDataObjects As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.DataObjects Dim pPropertySetPropertyLINCNumber As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.PropertySetProperty Dim pPropertySetPropertyTrackStatusID As New ESRI.ArcGIS.SOAP.PropertySetProperty pPropertySetPropertyTrackStatusID.Key = adofields.name pPropertySetPropertyTrackStatusID.Value = "Some value" inputfields.SetValue(pPropertySetPropertyTrackStatusID, 0) inputfields.SetValue(pPropertySetPropertyLINCNumber, 1) pPropertySet.PropertyArray = inputfields ******* WHAT TO PUT HERE ******* 'Store the array, ignore the result at this time.

Ive tried everything possible Unable to 'merge' two caches (bundled compressed) from two cached map services. alternatives? Do I explode these huge caches to be able to do the explorer move? I was under the impression this is the purpose of IMPORT Cache and could import the cache from another cached service.
