Hello @TraeTimmerman , I would like to request if you can share more details like the deployment architecture and which JSON you are utilizing from the sample configs available in the Github link mentioned below (as these are latest and upgraded for 11.2): arcgis-powershell-dsc/SampleConfigs/v4/v4.2.0/Base Deployment at main · Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc · GitHub I would also like to confirm if you are importing certificates in ArcGIS Server Admin and Portal admin prior to configuring federation, for sample check the below sample config JSON: arcgis-powershell-dsc/SampleConfigs/v4/v4.2.0/Base Deployment/BaseDeployment-ThreeMachine-ssl-per-Node-Example1.json at main · Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc · GitHub Additionally, there also seems to be a known and replicated issue with Powershell and 11.1 deployment. The issue seems to produce a similar error. It seems that the same works with 11.0 but has some issues since 11.1, to help understand more details, I am share the Github discussion URL below: ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1: Portal federation failed with invalid token · Issue #464 · Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc · GitHub Hope it helps! -Archit

Hello @tigerwoulds , It seems to me that Powershell DSC is not able to acquire access on that location. I would suggest running the following and see if the powershell can get the list of folder in the location: Get-ChildItem -Path \\fileshare.test.com\dfs\arcgis\arcgisserver\config-store -Force If yes, then at least powershell is able to read the location. Next we can test creating a folder by following article below: How to Create a Shared Folder using PowerShell (techcrafters.com) One of these should help you narrow down the cause of the problem. I would also like to try and run the following: [SOLVED] Powershell command to check if user has permissions to a folder. (spiceworks.com) Also check the following (maybe it's a known issue): ArcGIS Server File System Permissions Issues · Issue #181 · Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc · GitHub Access is denied · Issue #147 · Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc · GitHub If you can share more details like from which machine you are the script from and are the setup placed at the same location, I can look into it further. Hope it helps

Hello @DasheEbra Firstly, welcome to the world of WebGIS (I hope it's exciting for you). I would recommend starting from basic and start small. Do not get into microservices yet. To answer your queries, I found some details: What Is WebGIS ? It is any GIS that uses Web technology to communicate between some components: a GIS server(identified by a URL) and a client (a web browser, a desktop application, or a mobile application). The communication is via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) and the format of the response can be an HTML, binary image, XML (Extensible Markup Language), GML (Geography Markup Language), or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). The overarching goal of this technology is to allow users to dynamically access, share, and manipulate geospatial data on the web no matter the platform or protocol. WebGIS is an advanced form of Geographic Information Systems available on web platforms. It kicked off as a GIS running in web browsers and has evolved into Web GIS serving desktop and mobile clients. In essence Web GIS, or Web Geographic Information System, refers to the use of web technologies to create, share, and interact with geographic information and spatial data. It combines the principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with the capabilities of the web to provide a platform for accessing, visualizing, analyzing, and sharing spatial data over the internet. Also, I would like to recommend a few resources to read and get more understanding. These are revolving around ESRI technology and how ESRI components fit different needs: Get Started with Web GIS | Book Sample (esri.com) Geospatial Experience: The ArcGIS Platform Inside and Out (SSP TV) (sspinnovations.com) Web GIS: A Crash Course - Esri Videos: GIS, Events, ArcGIS Products & Industries Web GIS : CP-14 - Web GIS | GIS&T Body of Knowledge (ucgis.org) Hopefully, I have not scared you with too much information 😬. I have tried to controlled details to get you started with. Let me know if any queries arise. Hope it helps! -Archit

Hello @ABishop , The comparison indicates that both ArcGIS WAB and ArcGIS Experience Builder fall under same App bundle i.e. "Essential Apps" for both ArcGIS Enterprise older version and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.x. At 10.9.1 : ArcGIS Web AppBuilder : An introduction to licensing apps through your portal—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise (Web AppBuilder is included with the essential apps) ArcGIS Experience Builder : An introduction to licensing apps through your portal—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise (ArcGIS Experience Builder is included with the essential apps) At 11.x (reference 11.1 documentation ) ArcGIS Web AppBuilder : An introduction to licensing apps through your portal—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise (Web AppBuilder is included with the essential apps) ArcGIS Experience Builder : An introduction to licensing apps through your portal—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise(ArcGIS Experience Builder is included with the essential apps) Then it would narrow down to the User Type which you assign them and important thing to note would be the following: "The Field Worker user type name changed to Mobile Worker in July 2022. You may notice this update when importing a new Portal for ArcGIS license file provisioned from My Esri after July 2022." What capabilities are there on the WAB application and in future would be Experience builder, taking a note of the following would help: Editor : Editors can’t analyze, create, or share items or data. This user type includes the Essential Apps Bundle. Fieldworker/Mobile Worker : These can’t analyze, create, or share items or data. This user type includes the Essential Apps and Field Apps bundles. Creator : The Creator user type is designed for those who need to create web maps and apps, perform in-depth spatial analysis using the analysis tools in the portal, and work with data using field apps such as ArcGIS Collector. This user type includes the Essential Apps, Field Apps, and Office Apps bundles. Above is important to note if the WABs currently provide analysis capability to users in the application and in future on Experience builder It would also be of good help to check the following as well. These will help in understanding what would be available for you at experience builder and which WABs can be migrated now, which ones not to and which capability to choose for replacement in Experience builder : Functionality Matrix for Web AppBuilder and Experience Builder : https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-documents/functionality-matrix-for-web-appbuilder-and/ta-p/1113766 About release versions : About release versions | ArcGIS Experience Builder | ArcGIS Developers Web AppBuilder and Experience Builder functionality matrix : Web AppBuilder and Experience Builder functionality matrix—ArcGIS Web AppBuilder | Documentation Some additional help: Will ArcGIS Experience Builder reach functional parity with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder? Yes. ArcGIS Experience Builder will reach most of the functional parity of ArcGIS Web AppBuilder through incremental releases. For more information, see the functionality matrix for Web AppBuilder and Experience Builder. What are the current plans for ArcGIS Web AppBuilder and ArcGIS Experience Builder? ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is retiring. Web AppBuilder leverages the Esri legacy JavaScript API, version 3.x of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, which will be retired in July 2024. As its underlying technology retires, Web AppBuilder will also retire. The developer edition of Web AppBuilder will retire in July 2024, Web AppBuilder in ArcGIS Enterprise will have its final release in the first half of 2025, and Web AppBuilder in ArcGIS Online will retire in the fourth quarter of 2025. Current users of ArcGIS Web AppBuilder should consider migrating their apps to ArcGIS Experience Builder. It is recommended that you start new app projects in Experience Builder. For more information and for migration resources, see the Web AppBuilder roadmap for retirement. I have created ArcGIS Web AppBuilder apps in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. Can I migrate them to ArcGIS Experience Builder? No. You must reconfigure apps created with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder if you choose to move them to ArcGIS Experience Builder. I have custom widgets built on ArcGIS Web AppBuilder; can I use them with ArcGIS Experience Builder? No. While ArcGIS Experience Builder maintains a very similar programming pattern for building custom widgets, all widgets must be rewritten to work within the new framework. ArcGIS Experience Builder is built on ArcGIS API for JavaScript, whereas ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is built on version 3.x of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. More Info : FAQ—ArcGIS Experience Builder | Documentation I hope I was able to provide some clarity on the query you had. Hope it helps! -Archit

Hello @Nadia_Matsiuk I understand what @gahe mentioned is totally workable solution. However, ArcGIS Enterprise makes it easier by allowing you publish this without the need of Utilizing the Desktop client. ArcGIS Server comes inbuilt to a utility named "Publish routing services command line utility" but there are some points you would need to keep in mind : To use this utility, your ArcGIS Server site needs to have an ArcGIS Network Analyst extension license. If your ArcGIS StreetMap Premium data is licensed, you need to install the appropriate data license on each machine before running this utility. Additionally, kindly find a few link below for more understanding: Install an Esri StreetMap Premium license file on ArcGIS servers without ArcGIS for Desktop Data requirements : Publish Routing Services utility Parameters This Utility takes care of everything from Enterprise perspective, some mentioned below: The service published can be used to perform route, closest facility, service area, location-allocation, origin destination cost matrix, or vehicle routing problem analyses on transportation networks. If the ArcGIS Server site is federated with a portal, the services are configured as utility services with your portal. Once published, the services can be used in client applications such as ArcGIS Pro or the Map Viewer Classic of the ArcGIS Enterprise portal to get directions and perform analysis. Note: All the documentation links are 11.2. Do switch the version as per your requirement as per the version you are working with Hope this helps.

Hello @HayleyL It would be definitely require a bit more thinking and work around this to be done. I would assume that there is a possibility of every external user could be having a different role altogether. A probable approach could be as follows: Create a Python script to use a CSV and create user as described in that CSV (CSV method as it allows you to create multiple external user in one go or if needed single user) by fetching a CSV file at a predefined location. Make sure that the script is time aware like only use files added after the last run so that it doesn't run the same CSVs again. Make a location probably a shared folder where this CSV can be placed. Schedule a Task in Task scheduler at desired interval to run the python script and create the user. This should allow you to streamline process of creating user with one manual task being creating just the CSV. To avoid that, you can also share a CSV template with the users and ask them to fill the details like email etc. and then evaluate and place it in the shared location. I hope that would a good start. Additionally, if you have an internal ticket management system that opens us a whole new world of possibilities. Hope this gets the thinking process started around this. Hope it helps!

Hello @ALGIS , That's a very broad spectrum of components which are involved in the process. However, the WebGISDr is simply a tool which is calling into APIs within Portal, Server, and Data Store. It is likely possible to see the javaw.exe processes for Portal and Server and a PG process for Data Store using most of the CPU, However, usually, it's not to a point of making site unavailable. As you mentioned, that the incremental run does go well. This makes me think it could be the size of the backup which you full run of WebGISDr is creating and the location where it is being placed. I would suggest start small and investigate each components: Try crating backup of each components separately as follows Export Site Portal for ArcGIS : Export Site—ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers Export Site ArcGIS Server : Export Site—ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers ArcGIS DataStore Full Backup : ArcGIS Enterprise backups—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise We can also run two scenarios, one where we store the backups on shared location and the other local drives This would show us which component is specifically taking time and we can conclude the following from the above: Which component is taking most of the time? We can also narrow down if it's the shared location? We can calculate the size of the full backup also This could be a good starting point to narrow down the cause of the problem and plan an action for the same. Let me know how it goes. Hope it helps! -Archit

Hello @ahagopian_coj, I think that what @MarceloMarques suggested will work. However, usually for such cases, I utilize powershell (Just a preference 😬) as it allows me more flexibility such as controlling path as a variable, building the "skip" for the files which are in use and controlling the number of days to keep the files for, kindly find a sample script below: # Set the folder path $folderPath = "E:\agsbackup\backup\server" # Set the number of days $daysOld = 7 # Get the current date $currentDate = Get-Date # Calculate the cutoff date $cutoffDate = $currentDate.AddDays(-$daysOld) # Get files older than the specified number of days $oldFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $folderPath | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $cutoffDate } # Loop through each file and attempt to remove it, skipping if it's in use foreach ($file in $oldFiles) { try { Remove-Item $file.FullName -ErrorAction Stop Write-Host "Deleted: $($file.FullName)" } catch { Write-Host "Error deleting file: $($file.FullName) - $($_.Exception.Message)" } } This script uses the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to retrieve files in the specified folder, filters them based on the last write time, and then attempts to delete them. The try and catches blocks handle errors, such as skipping files that are in use. Additionally, You can customize the $folderPath and $daysOld variables as needed when running the script. You can also schedule it in Task Scheduler to run as per required frequency. Note: I am assuming you already checked out updatebackupretaindays for ArcGIS DataStore and the BUG you mention is with this Hope it helps!

Hello @mody_buchbinder, @Scott_Tansley , I think there is some confusion occurring here. The two BUGs we have mixed up here are individual scenarios. The BUG which @Scott_Tansley is a separate scenario and should be taken into consideration and Scott has mentioned all the available resources to keep track of it. This BUG would impact irrespective of the point weather it's HA or not. The BUG (BUG-000160756) which I mentioned is separate and associated to upgrading an HA environment and the error in bug description is while upgrading the standby portal ("Index Service configuration failed."). As of now, I have not been able to find a workaround for this. Hope I was able to clear out the confusion here. Hope it helps!

Hello @mody_buchbinder , Kindly find the BUG details below: BUG-000160756 : When attempting to upgrade Portal for ArcGIS, the following error is returned, "Index Service configuration failed." Hope it helps!

‎12-11-2023

Hello @mody_buchbinder I agree with comments from @Scott_Tansley. However, I would not suggest upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 HA to 11.1 (as of now) as we did this recently for One of our departments (as a test so that we can upgrade other environments) and found that there are several issues with upgrading HA to 11.1 as of now. Esri logged a BUG for this behavior as well. I don't see that BUG as published yet but you might want to reach out to ESRI Technical support once to confirm prior to making any moves forward as it would take some good amount of work to roll back if you go ahead and failure occurs. Hope it helps!

‎12-11-2023

Hello @NicolasGIS , Yes, as per my understanding that patch is also causing an impact (I would not get into much details) but I would suggest to adhere to the steps mentioned in @DavidColey's post (mentioned in bold). Hope it helps!

Hello @DNVT , I did some research into this and found the following link which shares more details: Configure a web feature layer—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation under the step 13: I can do some more digging into this, if this doesn't clarify what you are looking for. Please let me know if this answers the details. Hope it helps!

Hello @abhishek_choudhary , As mentioned by @TanuHoque, it is a requirement for feature service to have enterprise Database, for details please refer the below link : https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/prepare-data-for-feature-services.htm Cause of the Problem: As far as, I could understand from the description, you created a Map Service first with Data copy and then enabled Feature access. This workflow will not allow the editing/update features on the service as when we initially publish a "Map Service (with data copy to Server)" it creates a "File Geodatabase" in "arcgisinput" (as you have already noticed) folder by design. After that if you enable "Feature access", the data still resides in "File Geodatabase" causing the requirement of capability to not fulfilled. Hence, the resulting error. Additionally, when @TanuHoque "Enterprise Database", that would not be solved by creating "a folder named arcgis datastore" as it's still a file geodatabase which causes the same problem as mentioned earlier. Probable Solution: A probable solution could be to think about which type of Enterprise Database is possible for you to utilize, there are multiple options available with ArcGIS, possible options mentioned below : User managed data and referenced data ArcGIS managed data and hosted data You would have to choose which you want to progress further with, for more details the following document should help : Data in ArcGIS: User Managed and ArcGIS Managed : https://www.esri.com/content/dam/esrisites/en-us/media/technical-papers/data-in-arcgis-user-managed-and-arcgis-managed.pdf Data sources for ArcGIS Server : https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/manage-data/windows/overview-register-data-with-arcgis-server.htm Database-specific requirements for feature service : https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/prepare-data-for-feature-services.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C30D73392D964D51A8B606128A8A6E8F What is ArcGIS Data Store? : https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/data-store/latest/install/windows/what-is-arcgis-data-store.htm I would suggest go through these documentation and take an informed decision and based on that republish the service. Hope it helps!

Hello @anbinh , A good starting point would be check the follow: Check the account running the portal service privilege's on the desired folder C:\arcgisportal (appropriate location of different) C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Portal (appropriate location of different) Check logs generated by Portal for ArcGIS To access the logs, browse to the logs directory and open the most recent log file (for example, C:\arcgisportal\logs\<machine name>\portal\portal-20141201.095803-8596-0.0.log). Check Windows Event viewer logs Check if any remnant processes are running prior to starting the service. If possible, can you share the logs with me, we can have a look at it to figure where something is going wrong. Hope it helps! -Archit
