Thanks for your reply @ChristopherPawlyszyn ! Well, it's not what I am experiencing so far: tileCache does not behave the same as relational regarding failover. Even if "failover_on_primary_stop" property is set, only the relational datastore failovers, the tileCache does not. It's not very surprising because in the file "datastore.properties", the property "failover_on_primary_stop" is in the section "Settings for relational data store". Here is a summary of what I am systematically observing (tested at least 2, 3 times): - On a brand new deployment, I can promote both standy "tileCache" or "relational" as Primary. In that case, shutting off the VM hosting the standby datastores is not an issue: ArcGIS Server can still connect to them on the primary and dataStore validation from ArcGIS Server works. => Perfect when the intervention is planned - But if the primary "tileCache" datastore is taken offline, the standy is not promoted and validating the datastore from the ArcGIS Server manager fails. It does work with relational datastore. And for the tileCache, then it's over nothing can be done: => Trying to validate it, returns the following error: ``` Could not connect to the ArcGIS component at URL 'https://PORTAL01.COMPANY.COM:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/PORTAL02.COMPANY.COM/validate'. The ArcGIS component on that machine may not be running or the machine may not be reachable at this time.Error: connect timed out ``` Trying to promote it as Primary fails with the same error as well as it tries to communicate with the primary. So what do we do if we have a serious issue with one node which at that time was hosting primary "tileCache" datastore and that it cannot be brought back online ? Regarding the configuration, it is basic HA composed of 2 nodes: Portal01: Windows Server 2019 + Portal for ArcGIS 10.8.1 + ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 + Datastore 10.8.1 (relational + tileCache) Portal02: idem Thanks !

Hello, Setting in an HA architecture, I wonder how HA for a tileCache datastore in standBy mode is supposed to work ? Checking the HA doc it is stated for primary and standby mode: ``` In primary-standby mode, your tile cache data store contains two machines. Both machines contain the same scene cache data. Scene layers access the cache data on the primary machine. If the primary machine fails, the standby machine becomes the primary machine, and scene layers access the cache data on the new primary machine. This allows continuous access to scene layers while you, as the ArcGIS Data Store administrator, recover or replace the machine that failed. ``` It's not the case for me. After configured HA in primary-standby mode, if I switch off the VM hosting the primary tileCache datastore, then the standy does not pick-up: Checking the status on ArcGIS Server admin interface after having the VM offline for 15 min, I receive the following error: ``` Could not connect to the ArcGIS component at URL 'https://PORTAL01.COMPANY.COM:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/PORTAL02.COMPANY.COM/validate'. The ArcGIS component on that machine may not be running or the machine may not be reachable at this time.Error: connect timed out ``` What I am doing wrong ? When trying the option to "makePrimary", I receive as well an error: ``` Server machine 'https://PORTALQA02.COMPANY.COM:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin/machines/PORTAL01.COMPANY.COM/makePrimary' returned an error. 'Attempt to make 'PORTAL02.COMPANY.COM' the primary data store machine with role 'PRIMARY' is not allowed.' ``` So far, from my experience, I cannot takes offline the primary tileStore cache for maintenance purpose. Any idea ? With the relational datastore, I found out that editing the property "failover_on_primary_stop" in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\framework\etc\datastore.properties solves this issue but it only works with relational datastore. Quid about tileCache ? Thanks ! @JonathanQuinn maybe ?

Such good news 🙂 Thanks !

Hello @MichailMarinakis1, Wahou, your configuration is almost identical as mine except that I am not using IWA but I do have Web Adaptor for reverse proxying. I already have a load balancer balancing on 7443 private portal URL which in my case is different that the public one. But I still face the same issue. If one portal is deconnected and reconnected again, then the whole portal is messed up and you cannot access 'portaladmin', etc.. So I am wondering what could be the issue for me as Windows authentification is already out of the equation...

Yes, you can download on the following url: https://server.company.com/webconext/sharing/rest/content/items/EPK_ITEM_ID/data avec EPK_ITEM_ID, l'id de l'item .epk. Hope that help. On my side I cannot make the import works using ArcGIS for Python I face another issue. I have to do it manually on the REST API: https://server.company.com/webconext/sharing/rest/community/groups/MYGROUPID/import Hope that helps

Nice, thanks ! Should have read more carefully though : everything was there 🙂

Dear JS API team, Just wondering why do you log the following error, when a GoTo is called after another GoTo ? In my application, it is going by default to an extent. But is the user specify a location, then a query is performed (async operation) and if a result is found it will go to that new location interrupting the previous goTo. It is expected, not an error. Am I missing anything ? Thanks for listening !

Indeed, it is solved !

Hello JS API team, Just noticed that viewshed samples are broken in 3.X and 4.X: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/geoprocessing-viewshed/index.html https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/samples/gp_viewshed/ The following error is logged in the console: Error executing tool.

@Ranga_Tolapi , following your message I ran additional tests and the outcome is quite surprising: - Install ArcGIS Enteprise 10.8, configure Enterprise login only => no sign-in dialog - Install ArcGIS Enteprise 10.8.1, configure Enterprise login only => sign-in dialog is displayed (your case) -Install ArcGIS Enteprise 10.8, configure Enterprise login only and upgrade to 10.8.1 => no sign-in dialog (my case) So it seems like it worked out by chance at 10.8 but is no longer reproductible... As I said, I had not found anything in the release notes about this so it's not very surprising... But it's too bad !

For the permission dialog, I think you have to add it to app launcher as described on my post: "I found out how to get rid of the authorization form "Request for Permission" by adding the web application to the "App Launcher" settings (too bad there is not a dedicated setting for that because ideally I would not want the app to be in the app launcher of ArcGIS Enterprise but just to be configured as "will not prompt members with the 'Request for Permissions' dialog" but that is just a small detail)" Regarding the sign-in dialog, I don't understand. I stopped having this problem at 10.8.1. Will do some tests again

Hello, I am talking about this procedure: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/using-sql-with-gdbs/configure-oracle-extproc.htm That we have to do at each upgrade. Thanks

Were are running SDE 10.8 on Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production. We are planning to upgrade to 19c. Are you saying that it depends on the versions ? I had the feeling it applies to all versions. Thanks

Hello, I received the following request from my DBA: "As you know, the installation of the software, requires to place some libraries at the server level. These libraries are then accessed via a plsql LIBRARY object. Could you ask if they plan to “de-support/remove” this approach ? An alternative would be to provide the same functionality but using Java instead. The LIBRARY would then use java code stored in the DB itself, avoiding the need of this EXTPROC thingy that we need to setup now." Any opinion ? Thanks ! Nicolas

Hello @Dixie_MDavis, I noticed this error as well when running webgisdr right after having installed ArcGIS Enterprise. After a reboot of the server, it works. Java is deployed with ArcGIS Enterprise and environment variables are set but a reboot is required to pick them up I believe.

My Ideas
