I would suggest taking a look at the Server logs under at least Verbose to figure out why both data can't be displayed.  Do they display in ArcMap fine?  Typically, if everything works in ArcMap, it'll work in a service.  The Server logs should give you a good idea of what's going on.  If you want to dive a bit deeper, you can run an SDEINTERCEPT to see all of the communication between the Server and the databases to make sure that communication looks good. ...

You'll need to run the script anywhere where ArcMap or ArcGIS Server is installed.  It sounds like the best approach you can use is use a custom form of the printing tools or even write your own.  Essentially you'll be writing a script that will export a map, publish it as a GP service, and then run the GP service from your web site.  Traditionally, printing tools take in a webmap as JSON, but in your case, you can probably hard code a map document, (or provide a list of them, not sure what the use case will be), run the Export to PDF tool, and then return the result to the website. ...

The information within the status.gdb is likely incorrect, which resides within the cache directory for the map service.  Once the caching job is done, recreate the status.gdb using the Manage Map Server Cache Status tool.  I wouldn't suggest doing it while the caching job is in progress.  You can use the Task Manager and look at the CPU usage of the caching tools, make sure instances of the Caching Tools are in use within ArcGIS Server Manager, or monitor the contents of each scale level to make sure that the cache is still in progress in the meantime. ...

Michael Volz‌ has a good suggestion; the schema doesn't sound like it's changing so you can just update the data within the feature class without needing to stop and start the service. In regards to the problem, what do the Configured and Real-time state show within the Admin API when clicking on the Status of the service?  That should show you which one isn't being updated.  Once both are "Started" or both are "Stopped", Manager will reflect that status. ...

Is this on Windows or Linux?  Do you see any errors within the logs about service startup timing out?  Is this a single or multi-machine site?  If it's a multi-machine site, do you see the SOC process start up on each machine?  Enable the Command Line field in Task Manager on Windows and take a look at top on Linux. ...

I'm not too sure why that error would come up, but you can try to run an SDEINTERCEPT to get all of the communication between ArcGIS Server and the database.  You or your DBA can take a look and see if anything jumps out. ... View more

Are you able to remote into the Portal machine as the user running the Portal Windows service and try to reach the service URL you're trying to add?  That should let you know if some change prohibited Portal from making outbound connections. ... View more

Thanks for bringing up, we'll work on making it more clear.  Installing a patch temporarily stops the Portal service, which may trigger a fail over event, so it may come down to how much downtime is acceptable.  One approach is to stop the standby first, apply the patch to the primary, apply the patch to the standby, and then start the standby if the install process doesn't start it automatically.  I suggest you be in charge of making sure there's no failover event; depending on the speed of the install of the patch, the original primary may come up before the original standby had a chance to promote itself to primary which may cause problems. ...

The Server logs should give you an indication of what's failing.  Set the logs to Debug, try your workflow again, and then query at Warning on down to Debug until you get some information on why it failed.  If you're going through a web adaptor or reverse proxy, try the edit through 6443 or 6080. ...

I've used the requests module, but haven't used requests.sessions(), but you should request the JSON format so that you can parse it, (I assume the contents of "t2"?), so you know if it was successful or not.  If you're on 10.4 or later, you can also use the Web GIS DR tool to backup your Portal.  This will back up all federated Servers and ArcGIS Data Store. ...

I don't think non-persistent data sources, (like the output of the Make Query Table tool), are supported.  You can try to create a view in the database/geodatabase that joins the tables so a data source is persisted there and see if you can publish. ... View more

I agree with Chris, give it a try and see how it goes.  Symbology, density of features, the number of layers, etc all have a factor in the performance and resource footprint of a service. Something you may want to consider is caching the data so pre-created tiles are retrieved on disk instead of dynamically generating the image output.  You can still query from the service as you normally would, even if it's cached. ...

Can you sign into the Portaladmin API with the credentials you're using in the script?  The error indicates the account you're using isn't an Administrator in the portal.  If you can sign into the Portaladmin API, then you shouldn't have a problem in the script. ... View more

Nice sample, Chris! ... View more

That command appears to require elevevated privileges to return information you need: Non-admin Admin (not a great screenshot given the amount of stuff returned, but the idea is that it requires Admin privileges) ... View more
