Yes, it does appear to be fixed at 10.3.1.  Definitely install the patch, hopefully it'll help. ... View more

What version are you using?  There is a little note about those options within the 10.3 and 10.4 help: Tutorial: Publishing additional services for printing—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server  Tutorial: Publishing additional services for printing—Documentation | ArcGIS for Server  Caution: Due to a known limitation with the Export Web Map tool, you cannot filter the parameter choices available to end users. ...

If you're looking at the network traffic within the Developer Tools, focus on the requests to your Portal and Server.  Also, take a look at the Console, as sometimes that can provide browser errors instead of network traffic errors.  I'm not sure what the problem could be, (Firefox does use it's own certificate store...), but hopefully taking a look at the Console and Network tabs of the dev tools can provide some insight. ...

Taking a look at the web traffic should identify which request is throwing a token error.  Do you have Fiddler installed, or have familiarity with running the Dev Tools within your browser?  If so, take a look at each request as the webmap loads and determine if a specific request returns an error indicating a token is required.  That'll help you pinpoint why the login screen is popping up. ...

There are two things to consider, performance of individual services but also the performance of your system in general. In regards to the individual services, if you have a lot of data in a single dynamic service without considering scale dependencies and other optimizations, then that service may be slow.  If you do this for multiple services in a webmap, then that could cause significant problems.  You can consider caching services, which will definitely improve the display performance, but will add some maintenance costs as whenever the data changes, you'll need to update the cache.  Querying will still work fine even if it's cached, as long as the data is always available.  In response to your question on updating the image returned from a cache dynamically, since caches are simply retrieved from images on disk, there's no way to alter the image.  If you're primarily concerned with map service performance, caching data that won't change often should be your first consideration.  Answers to whether you should have cached vs non-cached, lots of services or one large services, often come down to what are you using the service for, (viewing only, for example), how often the data changes, and even the data source and location.  It may be best to take a look at something like System Test to get quantifiable data on the performance of your services. In regards to the performance of your system, if you publish 100 individual map services, (on top of however many other services you have), and your system doesn't have adequate amounts of RAM to support them, then you'll run into performance issues.  Make sure that your machine can support the amount of services you want to have. ...

Yes, it is possible to use OS authentication in Editor Tracking to capture the OS user making the edits.  When you say your attempts have failed, do you mean your attempts at registering a database using OS credentials with Server, publishing a feature service, or editing the feature service in Portal and seeing the Editor Tracking fields populate with the user making the edits?  Is the Server federated with Portal, or is it standalone?  If it's federated, are you using IWA for the security for Portal?  If not, are you using IWA for the security for Server? ...

Yes, unfortunately that's the case.  Server runs the 64 bit version of Python, so it requires 64 bit versions of any modules you'll be using. ... View more

Just make sure that the 64 bit modules you're using can be imported on your Server machine by placing them in the site-packages folder on the Server within the Python folder created during the install.  If you can open the 64 bit version of IDLE and import the 64 bit version of the module on the Server machine, your GP services will work.  This help should point you in the right direction as well. ...

Did you take a look at the web traffic?  If I add the service to a webmap, enable popups and query, I get a 404 response for the following request: http://olga.er.usgs.gov/stpgis/rest/services/microbio_geochemistry/decadal_precipitation/MapServer/1/query?f=json&return… If you take out the outFields, you get a response back, so the USGS may be doing something to requests with certain characters in the request or a specific request length.  Do you see a 200 response code for your query request? ...

You should use the ArcGIS Administrator to change the portal that Desktop is connecting to.  ... View more

SOC processes stick around after they've been used for the duration of the idle timeout interval: A third time-out dictates the maximum time an idle instance can be kept running. When services go out of use, they are kept running on the server until another client needs the instance. A running instance that is not in use still consumes some memory on the server. You can minimize your number of running services and therefore conserve memory by shortening this idle time-out, the default of which is 1,800 seconds (30 minutes). The disadvantage of a short idle time-out is that when all running services time out, subsequent clients need to wait for new instances to be created. You can read up more on timeouts here.  That is a significant difference in caching time, but does the color one take more time?  Are they in the same file share? ... View more

It looks like that script is using xml.etree.ElementTree, so you can follow the documentation on how to work with keys and tags.  For example, taking the following section out of an SDDraft: <Configurations xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfSVCConfiguration" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">   <SVCExtension xsi:type="typens:SVCExtension">     <Enabled>false</Enabled>   <Info xsi:type="typens:PropertySet">     <PropertyArray xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfPropertySetProperty">       <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty">         <Key>WebEnabled</Key>         <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value>       </PropertySetProperty>       <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty">         <Key>WebCapabilities</Key>         <Value xsi:type="xs:string">Query</Value>       </PropertySetProperty>     </PropertyArray>   </Info>   <Props xsi:type="typens:PropertySet">     <PropertyArray xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfPropertySetProperty"/>   </Props>   <TypeName>SchematicsServer</TypeName>   </SVCExtension> </Configurations> And doing something like: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET doc = ET.parse(r"C:\Temp\XML.xml") root = doc.getroot() for child in root:     for gchild in child:         print(gchild.tag, gchild.text)         for ggchild in gchild:             print(" ",ggchild.tag, ggchild.text)             for gggchild  in ggchild:                 print("  ",gggchild.tag, gggchild.text)                 for ggggchild in gggchild:                     print("   ",ggggchild.tag,ggggchild.text) Will return Enabled false Info None   PropertyArray None    PropertySetProperty None     Key WebEnabled     Value true    PropertySetProperty None     Key WebCapabilities     Value Query Props None   PropertyArray None TypeName SchematicsServer Not a very pretty example, but hopefully it helps. ...

Is your ArcGIS Server Windows Service running as a domain user that has access to the services?  That account should be the one actually making the request to the services within the web app, and since you're using IWA, see what account Server is running as.  As a test, you can try to run it as your own account and then try to print, as it seems you have access to the services. ...

You'll want to set the output as a File data type and set it as an Output and Derived.  Once the task is completed in the client, it should prompt the browser to ask you to download the file. ... View more
