Can you reach the Manager page for the site to join from the machine you're trying to join it from?  It sounds like a port is closed between the two machines.  Take a look at this documentation​, specifically the section on the ports 4000-4003. ... View more

I'd suggest you just make your webmap and web app public, (share with everyone).  If your services are internal, that means that external users won't be able to reach your services, so it won't matter if they open your webmap or web app.  They won't be able to see your content.  By making your webmap and web apps public, your internal users will be able to open them without logging in and will still be able to see your services as they're in your internal network. ...

You need to ensure you have the client libraries installed.  Steps 1-3 under Place the PostgreSQL client files on your ArcGIS client machine will get you there. ... View more

By default, ArcGIS Server has a self signed certificate on port 6443.  I secured the SampleWorldCities service using GIS Tier authentication and built-in users and roles, and added it to a webmap.  I created a web app from the webmap using the web app builder, shared it with everyone, and when I opened the web app, I was prompted to sign in.  I believe what Qun is saying is valid, as my self signed certificate for my Server had already been trusted by my browser.  I opened the web app up in IE on a separate machine that didn't trust my certificate and it first asked for me to trust the cert, and once I did, I could refresh the browser and it prompted me to sign in.  Typically, we don't see people exposing 6443 or 6080 to the public, see the diagram at this link.  Instead, you have that port sitting behind your DMZ with the web adaptor or another reverse proxy in the DMZ. ...

If you're interested in using ArcGIS Server, you can look into feature services.  You'll need an enterprise geodatabase, or be at at least 10.2 for Server if you're using a database.  You can edit the data in a web application like ArcGIS Online or the Javascript API and you can create local copies to edit in ArcMap to then synchronize back. ...

Running Fiddler or one of the developer tools for whatever browser you're using will provide more insight into whether the edit was successful or not.  Did you also check the Server logs to determine if there were any errors logged there? ... View more

What version are you using?  What DBMS are you working with?  Here's a link on using various tools for geodatabase administration and management.  You'll find a few useful tools for determining who is connected, blocking new connections, disconnecting users, and then allowing connections. ...

Are you ensuring you're not mixing content at all?  For example, a service accessed over https can only be consumed in the web map, web app builder, and resulting web app over https.  If you know you're adding the service to the original webmap over https, the first thing to do is make sure that you're accessing the web app builder and web app over https.  Next, a browsers developer tools can provide more insight into why layers fail to load.  If you try to open the web app that fails with the developer tools open, can you check the Console tab to see what errors, if any, are returned? Ex. I find the developer tools with Chrome are the easiest to work with, and can be accessed by pressing F12 or going to the Settings > More tools > Developer Tools. ... View more

Is there anything on the Netezza side that would drop a connection after a certain time?  You can try to set the min instances to 0 for the GP service, so whenever it is requested, it'll spin up an instance and establish a connection to the database.  If that consistently works, then I would think that for some reason, the active connection to the database is dropping.  It may be something on the Netezza side.  You can try to run an SDEINTERCEPT to see the communication between the Server and the database.  This will work for ArcGIS Server and should be set up on the ArcGIS Server machine. ...

So the user running your ArcGIS Server Windows service is set to a domain user that is within a role that has access to the secure service you want to print?  That's the first step to try.  If that doesn't work, (there is a current issue with that workflow that affects some sites at 10.3.1 which is resolved at 10.4), go through this documentation ​and embed your active directory credentials within the GIS Server connection. ...

Hm, could you be missing the actual error message?  If the except statement is supposed to print the messages from the tool, but it doesn't fail at the tool, then it may not be printing the messages you're expecting to see.  What if you add a statement to print a traceback error, and see if that returns something?  If it's not getting to the "inside try" print statement, then it has to be in the except statement, so you can add additional messages there to see if it isn't an arcpy error. ...

Right, it's understandable that the C:\ drive for a virtual machine is not truly on the local file system, but for the communication between the Server and the mosaic dataset, it'll be quicker than if it were set to a UNC path. ... View more
