Thanks @ChristopherPawlyszyn for your detailed explanations. Much appreciated. "This means that mimicking this deployment style on-prem would require a DynamoDB-compatible database as well" -> I had in mind using a classic file share directory for the arcgis server config-store as I. do not have a DynamoDB-compatible at my disposal (will double check though). Too bad you can't "mix" specially. knowing that it's currently not suitable for production ! Do you think this may evolve in the future to something more "flexible" ? On the S3 storage for Portal for ArcGIS content, I am happy to read that it is doable ! Will have a look and. try the "virtual-hosted style". Will share my finding here ! Once again, many thanks !

Hi @DavidColey , I tried both. Both took very long (around 15 hours). Thanks

Hi @JonathanQuinn, With all these information, are they figures you have seen during your benchmark testing ? Or is it worth contacting support so that they have a deeper look ? To me, I find it very long because we just started publishing 3D with only few Revit Models... I am very afraid about how it will take in the long run ! Thanks

Hi @JonathanQuinn , Thanks for the confirmation. Please let me know if you get any interesting information about non-default regions. I find the documentation really light about it now only for webgisdr backups (cf. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-in-the-cloud-questions/portal-for-arcgis-content-on-s3-compatible-storage/m-p/1121969#M378). Thanks !

@MichelleMathias , many thanks for quick investigations and fix. Thanks for your explanation as well. I understand the issue but it would be very nice to have a feedback as a user. I don't know how can it be done but I wasted 1 hour rewriting it because I thought it was just a temporary accident ! But after rewriting it, and backuping in notepad this time, I understood that something wrong was going on "community" side but could not figure out what ! It's very frustrating seeing your post disappearing in a row whithout understanding why or no disclamer or no email sent back to the user saying "your message was caught by spam filter" or something like that. I guess you can spam actual spammer back ! And if considering the message as spam is wrong, the user will at least understand why he can't post. Just a suggestion ! Cheers PS: is this email you sent available anywhere on the website ? I searched for it a bit yesterday when I was fighting to make a post and did find anything so I ended up opening this thread

Thanks for your reply @JonathanQuinn, The backup is actually quite quick: - relational: 25 min - tileCache: 7 min ! So it might be another issue as the one you mentionned ? Thanks

Thanks. Please do investigate, it's driving me nuts. I. added my additional post once again and it disappeared after a while !!! Here is the thread: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-in-the-cloud-questions/portal-for-arcgis-content-on-s3-compatible-storage/m-p/1121954#M377 Thanks

No it's not a time-out issue. I wrote a first post which was validated and I could see it in ArcGIS Enterprise thread. Then I went back to my profile and did not see it so I was suprised and indeed it has disappeared. I thought I had dreamt. I rewrote it in notepad. Copy/paste : take only few minutes for post. Publish. Visible. Wait. Disappeared. In the end, I rewrote it shorter because I was pretty sure it was related to its length. Then I added the rest in the following comment. This morning my post is still there but my second comment gone. No email to tell me, we removed your post because blablabla or anything. Just silent deletion....

Just a bit more details about what I tried: I tried to specify a JSON a bit in the format of the cloud store registration that is to say by specifying the regionEndpointUrl and defaultEndpointsProtocol just like the following: { "type": "cloudStore", "provider": "Amazon", "connectionString": { "accessKeyId": "foo", "secretAccessKey": "bar", "region": "company-s3", "credentialType": "accessKey", "regionEndpointUrl":"s3.company.com", "defaultEndpointsProtocol":"https" }, "objectStore": "mybucket" } but got the 500 above. I tried the same idea as it was suggested for the webgisdr that is to say creating a "regionsforcloudstorage.dat" file in "Portal\framework\etc" { "regions": [{ "name": "COMPANY", "id": "company-s3", "s3endpoint": "s3.company.com" }] } and specify the following location for my portal content directory: { "type": "cloudStore", "provider": "Amazon", "connectionString": { "accessKeyId": "foo", "secretAccessKey": "bar", "region": "company-s3", "credentialType": "accessKey" }, "objectStore": "mybucket" } and got the same 500

Hello, In my private cloud (Openstack), I have a private s3 compatible storage. So far I was able to successfully use it in 2 situations with ArcGIS Enterprise: To register it as cloud store for ArcGIS Server cache (it's really easy from the manager interface) To store webgisdr backups (but documentation is missing: cf. https://community.esri.com/t5/high-availability-and-disaster-recovery-questions/webgisdr-s3-custom-region/m-p/1098726 ) In order to move for an HA deployment, I would like to store Portal for ArcGIS content directory, ArcGIS Server directories and config store on that storage. According to the documentation it's doable "When ArcGIS Enterprise is deployed in the same cloud platform, you can store system directories such as the portal content directory and ArcGIS Server configuration store in the following cloud storage locations: Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) or an S3 compatible storage location" https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/cloud/latest/intro/cloud-options.htm But I can't find how to specify my custom S3 storage. In the example, I found, it is only well known storage that are documented: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/cloud/amazon/configure-web-gis-with-shared-content-dir.htm I tried to upload a json by specifying an S3 URL and creating a regionsforcloudstorage.dat file but I always get a 500 error: com.esri.arcgis.portal.admin.core.PortalException: com.esri.arcgis.portal.admin.core.PortalException: com.esri.arcgis.portal.admin.core.PortalException: Cannot write to the mybucket S3 bucket. Please check that the bucket exists. If access keys are used to connect to the bucket, make sure they are correct. If an IAM role is used to connect to the bucket, make sure that the IAM role has write privileges to the bucket. Any idea ? Maybe @JonathanQuinn ? Thanks, Nicolas

Hi, I just wasted 1 hour writing a long post which disappear because I suppose you considered as spam ? No error message, no warning, no messafge... It's a very bad user experience !

Hi @Marc_Graham , Thanks for your support ! Don’t Forget to give a kudo ! Seems like it how it works unfortunately !

Hello, I am testing webgisdr restore on a standby environment and found out the whole process is now taking up to 18h because of 15 hours spent restoring the tileCache datastore. My webgisdr size is 45 Go divided like the following: tileCache datastore 25 Go relational datastore 11 Go portal for ArcGIS 8 Go AGS: 1 Go Isn't it too much ? Could there be an issue in my tileCache datastore. I tried making a backup, uninstalling it, restoring it but it still takes ages. How long does it take in your side ? And feedback/ROE would be appreciated ! Thanks

Hello, Following my question about webgisdr OS agnostic (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/will-webgisdr-backup-someday-be-os-agnostic/m-p/1116624) which did not bring much attention, I am looking for a workflow to migrate an existing ArcGIS Enteprise WIndows based to Linux. Is it doable ? Thanks ! Nicolas

Hi @JonathanQuinn , Any thought about the future of "Configure ArcGIS Server to access a local file" ? Is it safe ? It's still gone from the documentation. Thanks
