Hm, sounds like a spatial index problem.  Are you using 10.1?  Can you right click on the feature class, go to Properties > Indexes tab > and click Delete to delete the spatial index, then Create to create a new one? ... View more

Use the Points to Line tool to generate lines between the points.  Use a sort field to order the lines as they're created.  You can then create a field and use the Calculate Geometry function to calculate the length of all line features. ... View more

Can you open the attribute table and see the feature you just created?  Do you have any definition queries on?  Can you add the data to a new map and see if the new features show up? ... View more

If you name your web adaptor arcgis, then it doesn't matter what you do; it'll resolve to the same location.  If you don't though, then including the port or not including the port should be the main difference: For example, if my default instance name is arcgis and I configure the web adaptor with arcgiswebadaptor: http://<servername>:6080/arcgis/rest will work. http://<servername>:6080/arcgiswebadaptor/rest will not work. http://<servername>/arcgis/rest will not work. http://<servername>/arcgiswebadaptor/rest will work. ...

You'll want to create an Windows Live ID first.  Once you do that, you'll be able to create a key.  It's free, unless you're using more than 125,000 transactions within a 12 month period.  Here's some more information that may be useful on transaction information and usage limits. ... View more

Going off on the posts above, setting the minimum number of instances on services that aren't used as often will definitely conserve some resources on your server, as a SOC processes won't spin up until it's requested.  The other thing you can do is look into using low isolation for some services.  This will allow multiple requests to use one SOC process so it doesn't spin up another instance when the service is requested.  The only drawback is if two users are using the same SOC process, if that process crashes, both users will be affected.  With high isolation, both users will have a dedicated SOC process. ...

So the folder is already registered with the server, but it still asks to copy data?  Is the data located on the same server as ArcGIS Server?  Are you using a local or domain ArcGIS Server account? ... View more

In your model, you've set it up correctly it seems like, but you're not doing anything with the results, so it overwrites them each time.  Look into using a model within a model and the Collect Values tool to gather the results from the iteration, and merge or append them or do whatever else you need to.  The section called "Advanced use of model iterators" should point you in the right direction. ...

No, you can't.  CAD file types are not supported in ArcGIS for Server 10.1.  Please see this resource for more information on what's supported. ... View more

You're definitely correct in moving the SDE connection file to an absolute path, (C:\Temp), rather than keep it in the Database Connections location.  ArcGIS Server doesn't know what "Database Connections" are, that's something ArcMap resolves as a path.   When you register an SDE database, the location of the database doesn't matter, so it's not going to be a big deal if the SDE connection file gets moved to the arcgisinput folder.  Currently, there's a bug that publishing a geoprocessing service using a python script jumbles up the published script: NIM084619 So you're saying that publishing the script attempts to move the SDE feature classes to a file geodatabase in the arcgisinput folder? ...

The first thing you'll want to do is make sure that your route feature class, (your roads shapefile), is M enabled.  1)  Use the Feature Class to Feature Class tool to export your roads shapefile to a new shapefile and go into the Environments > M Values and set the Output has M Values parameter to Enabled. The next thing you'll want to do is assign m-values to the routes in your shapefile.  What I typically suggest, to make sure that the digitized direction of the line is preserved in assigning m-values, is to add and calculate two fields, a From_Field and To_Field, where the From_Field is 0 and the To_Field is the length of the line.  Then, use the Create Routes tool to create a route feature class. 2)  Open up the attribute table for the output from the first step and add a From_Field and To_Field.  Make sure that they're double or floats. 3)  Calculate a 0 for the From_Field and use the Calculate Geometry function to calculate the Length for the To_Field. 4)  Open the Create Routes tool, add your roads shapefile as the input, and choose the route identifier field, (the field that uniquely identifies each route or road). 5)  Choose an output feature class. 6)  For the measure source, use the Two Fields option, and specify the From-Measure Field and To-Measure Field you created previously.  Run the tool and the output should be added to the map. Now, you'll have a reference system to locate the addresses in your table, so you'll want to create points from your table. 1)  Add the table to ArcMap, right click on it and go to Display Route Events. 2)  For the Route Reference, use your route feature class, and for the Route Identifier, use the field that uniquely identifies each route. 3)  For the input table, use the Route Identifier that uniquely identifies each route. 4)  Keep the default at point events, and choose the Measure field. Your output layer will be an in-memory layer, so you'll have to export this to a feature class.  The workflow above assumes some things, like you have a route identifier field that matches between your roads feature class and table.  Also, make sure that the To-Measure field is calculated in whatever units your address points mile marker units are in. ...

I assume you're on 10.1, so if you install SP1 for 10.1, you can right click on the icon in the Task Bar and go to the Properties, and uncheck the box to Enable ArcGIS Connection. ... View more

Right.  Update the sample I provided to point to the mxd you're looking to work with, update the data frame name if need be, update the value from the if count < 3: line to correspond to the number of layers starting from the top you want to export, and update the output location. ... View more
