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 Capture d’écran 2021-11-30 à 06.29.53.png 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

Seems like you can migrate datastore to different OS: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.9/administer/windows/data-store-recovery.htm "Restore a relational or tile cache data store to a different OS or release" But not the webgisdr ? https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.9/administer/windows/overview-backup-restore-web-gis.htm "The webgisdr utility records the software versions of the ArcGIS Enterprise components when you create a backup. The deployment to which you restore must be at the same version it was when you created the backup. Additionally, you must restore to the same type of operating system. For example, you cannot create a backup of an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment on Linux and restore it to Windows machines."

Many thanks for your answer @PeterBecker ! At the end the easiest solution that suited my case is to call 'Import Mosaic Dataset Geometry' with the polygon used to clip the initial raster dataset. The drawback of this solution is that at last the alpha channel is not anymore used. Also this solution doesn't work for the case where I don't have access to the clipping polygon.

Hello, We have an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment for a while now (since 10.3) running on Windows but are thinking about migrating to linux for various reasons. But the current limitation is that webgisdr is not OS agnostic and we are afraid about rebuilding a new ArcGIS Enterprise from scratch. It will be a long scripting work and some manual operations we would like to avoid. Is it something you are thinking about ? Can we hope that someday a webgidr backup could be imported from Windows to Linux et vice versa or is it technically impossible ? Just trying to figure out if it is worth waiting or not ? Thanks for your feedback !

Come on ESRI, this is basic security tracability ! No need to wait for kudos to implement that !

Thank you very much for your answer. I have for some datasets more than 100 tile, so according to you, merging such amont of tiles of rasters is not recommended. The parameter "Maintain sheet edges" allows to remove the effect along 2 tiles. But the "Shrink distance" supposed to remove the border effect of white pixels produce some strange effects like : Image Pasted at 2021-10-29 14-14.png Image Pasted at 2021-10-29 14-15.png Is it possible, as I already have the polygon representing the clipping area to affect it to the footprints ? So in this case I don't have to use "Building Footprints" as I don't think is possible to find parameters that remove all these undesirable effects for different cases. Thanks for your help.
