Teri, since this area location is help with GeoNet and you already have this quesiton posted Has anyone built a cell reception crowdsourcing application? What was your experience? Did you use professional services…    you may want to deleted this question.  You can always share the other question/discussion with other spaces like suggested Sharing and Posting on GeoNet from Charlie Fitzpatrick   If you keep the question in one location, you won't get repeat or conflicting answers (hopefully). ...

I see what you are saying Xander (took me a bit), and you re probably right.  In that case, my suggestion wouldn't work. ... View more

Hi Xander, yes, ArcGIS Server creates the folders.  I was suggesting changing the permissions AFTER the folder(s) are created. I'm not sure if it would work, nor do I necessary recommend it, I was just trying to think of things that they might want to try (With caution).   In our shop, there are only two of us that create services (most are by me) so it's not an issue (that is, only two will publishing privileges).  Talking about it us an easy option for..I'm assuming that isn't a possible fir Noam's shop. ...

Lela, <<deleted some bad information>> To help others with viewing your code for debugging, check out Posting Code blocks in the new GeoNet       Spacing is critical in Python code, and Geonet has a way of altering the spacing which makes it hard to debug. By the way, I personally, I like your second approach (b.) to create separate scripts (instead of leaving them i model builder), but that is just because I feel you can have more control when scripting. I hope this helps. Edit:  eliminated bad(thanks for catching that Dan) ... View more

Shafi, Base on my experience only.... Q1 - We use to publish read-only data from ArcSDE, but with the advancements to the file geodatabase (FGDB), and the fact that it can be stored on the local ArcGIS Server machine, I find the FGDB is faster. [however, our master data is stored, edited, managed, and maintained in ArcSDE] Q2 - If you need the ups to happen live and in real time, then mayb the ArcSDE is the way to go.  For our shop, we usually take a new snapshot of the data at various intervals (monthly or as needed -- to a new temporary FGDB), do some additional process and testing on our EDN/development machine. Then when I'm ready to update on the services, it is relatively fast.  I use python scripts to do all the processing. The main reason I prep on the dev machine before publishing is because to replace the FGDB and services, the services have to be shut down when I replace the FGDB.  Again, this can be scripted so it can be done relatively fast. This is what works for us, but there may be better methods for your shop with ArcSDE. ... View more

Have you looked at Clip—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS for Professionals From this help page (bold for emphasis).... You also have the ability to use the selected features within the display as the clipping extent. If a feature within the feature class is selected and Use Input Features for Clipping Geometry is checked (clipping_geometry is set to ClippingGeometry), then the output clips out the areas that are selected. If a feature within the feature class is selected but Use Input Features for Clipping Geometry is not checked (set to NONE in Python), then the output clips out the minimum bounding rectangle for that feature. Note: I have not tested yet ... View more

Catherine, There are several sets of tools on Github that will help you with administering ArcGIS Online services, including:these two.  Esri/ago-tools · GitHub ArcGIS Online Assistant If you are getting a token error, it sounds like the service is secure.  Is it hosted on ArcGIS Online or on a local ArcGIS Server?  Are you the owner of the services? A you trying  actual URL only, or change the service? It might help if you can give a little more detail on he steps you are trying, and if you provide a snapshot of the exact error.  There are also tools within browsers (usually F12) that can provide additional detail on the error to help in the debugging.  If you see an error in the console, providing that info will also help others help diagnose the token error. ...

​looking at  my 10.2.2 server, when I create a folder in AGS manager, it creates two physical folders on my D drive (but default is C drive), and at least one other on my c) d:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\myNewFolder d:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisoutput\myNewFolder c:\arcgisserver\config-store\services\myNewFolder I'm the admin and I don't have another non admin account to be able to see whether it would work or not, or what error they would get.  Of course, best case, I would think you wouldnt even want them to see the folder exists.  My guess, it will still be listed, but it would give them an error when trying to publish. although this may work, I am no expert on what messing around with the folder permissions will do.  Make sure you have a way to restore (backup, or how to reverse any folder permission changes) before you mess with things.  I'm not sure that any of the above would be suggested by tech support....and it may be good to talk to them first. ...

Link, you may already know this, but "force" checking them in this way will not put them back into your License Managers pool of available licenses. Since you already changed servers, you may have already coordinated to make sure you have the correct number of licenses on the new server, if not, I may require a call to you customer services rep, since in this situation, it usually has to be fixed on their end to show back up in MyEsri. If you moved from 9.x /10.0 to 10.2/10.3 license manager, the numbers might be correct already (since they made changes in the License Manager provision files between those versions) ... View more

Tom, for what it's worth, on my PC I went to the link in Daniel Yaw Jr.​ mentioned above. I used the pull-down in the upper left and used "my account" to make sure I was logged into the UC, then selected the UC...selected my planner, and one of the days I know I had something in, and it was there.   Actually, after I saw it all coming up (what I did earlier this week on the PC and from mobile...all sync'd), I wanted to capture the above, so I decided to log out and try it again, and when I selected my account, I got this before I hit the logout button. Which is incorrect, since I am a registered attendee....so that is strange.  I think this is just an incorrect message, since usually you have to be registered to even use the myPlanner option.  FWIW, They did fix the issue with having two tabs for speakers on this tab. Anyway Tom, might be worth a few minutes to try again.  I hadn't book marked it, so I used Daniel's link.  But my guess is esri took it off the main UC page because they are trying to fix a few things.  Another interesting thing about the link, if you do it on a mobile device, it gives you the option to grab it from the devices "store", or go to the mobile's browser version, which also seems to work. ...
