Hm, the REST endpoint does show that the renderer matches what we see in the map viewer when just using the feature layer: I wonder if it's something specific to the renderer that can't be drawn outside of an export map request.  Can you post the URL to the layer that works correctly? ...

Portal by default can be reached through http or https.  Login pages are always https, but My Content, the map viewer, groups, etc all can be reached through http, (as long as the option to only use SSL is not checked). ... View more

Mixed mode problems aren't necessarily a Portal issue, but a browser issue.  Browsers are designed to warn users of mixed mode content.  I'd suggest avoiding that problem altogether by being consistent with the protocol you use.  If you have secure services that require logging in, just be sure you create and access the webmaps over https.  If they're not secure, you can create and access them through either protocol. ...

It doesn't seem like you're using that function to submit any requests.  I'd try to replace any hardcoded protocols, (seems like it's http throughout), with the protocol derived from the splitSiteURL function: Ex. url = "{}://{}:{}/arcgis/admin/generateToken?f=json".format(protocol,serverName, serverPort) ...

Sounds like you want something like editor tracking, but for a GP service.  I don't think that there's anything within the framework to support that.  My only thought is to add a parameter so the user can select their username.  Since you'll have a defined list of users within your ArcGIS Server security, you could create a dropdown list of the user names, but you're relying on the user to select the correct one.  You can probably do this with an SOI. ...

It looks like the script gets information about the input Server on line 54:   protocol, serverName, serverPort, context = splitSiteURL(agsServerSite) But then it's hardcoding the http protocol when retrieving the token on line 215: url = "http://{}:{}/arcgis/admin/generateToken?f=json".format(serverName, serverPort) .  If the server site entered is using https and 6443, then that is going to be a problem.  The script should really take the protocol as well instead of hardcoding http. ...

Good point, Zach.  Are you familiar with Python?  If so, you can use the Copy_management tool and set the input as a File type.  This will set the initial input to the tool as a GPDataFile type, and after enabling uploads on the GP service, will tell the browser that the user can upload a file to that parameter.  The file can then be copied to the scratch folder and used as input to the CADToGeodatabase tool.  The result requires a resulting map service, as it returns a feature dataset, so you should be good as long as your application can retrieve the resulting map service.  You could also loop through the scratch geodatabase and then the feature dataset to find the feature classes if you want to return them individually.  I've uploaded a sample for you to take a look at.  See if you can grab it from here. ...

I don't think many people will be setting up a Web GIS, (portal federated with server, etc), without using some front end to Server that hides 6443 and 6080.  Whether this is a web adaptor, reverse proxy or load balancer, there's typically a "cleaner" front end through the standard ports 80 and 443 which leads to a better experience in working with services from the federated Server.  It gives you the option of hiding back-end servers that you may not want your users to know about.  Certificates aren't really relevant, since you can simply use a CA or domain signed certificate on 6443 if you didn't use the web adaptor.  In terms of performance, you shouldn't see any difference in going directly to the ArcGIS Server than going through the web adaptor.  If you weren't federating, there may be a stronger argument for using the web adaptor, as you get more options for security, but as you are federating, Portal will be handling the security aspects.  Regardless of that, though, I'd recommend using the web adaptor.  Set up your signed certificate on 443 in IIS and use that URL as the services URL. ...

I'd start with including home or sharing at the end of the URL to make sure it's not working right: https://<portal_webadaptor_machine>/<webadaptorname>/home/ https://<portal_webadaptor_machine>/<webadaptorname>/sharing/ The web adaptor may not redirect correctly if you just go to https://<portal_webadaptor_machine>/<webadaptorname>/. Next, you can try reconfiguring the web adaptor through your browser: Configuring ArcGIS Web Adaptor—Installation Guides (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server  The link includes ArcGIS for Server in the title but it points to the page for registering the Portal web adaptor. ...

What about writing your own script to have the user upload a zip file of the DWG, (input parameter is of File type), the script unzips the zip file, and then processes it? ... View more

It'll definitely restart the Server automatically, so services will go down and come up.  How quick that completes will be dependent on how many services you have and the resources on the machine.  I'd imagine it copies the config-store and then restarts the Server once the config-store has been copied. ...

Thanks for the update, Dave, glad you got things sorted out.  While I know you've spent a lot of time on this already, you may want to contact Support and see if you can get a bug logged if this is reproducible on their end as well.  It'll be good to get this addressed if it is an issue. ...

Are you able to sign into the Admin API?  If you look at the status of the machine in  machines/<machine_name>/status does the realtime and configured state both say started?  Have you tried to restart the ArcGIS Server Windows service? ... View more
