Hi, I changed the title to better describe the issue. As far as I can tell, the width of the WBID column in the dbf header is undefined. This is how the dbf header looks in Notepad++: Attached is a selection of some features with low and with high WBID and the issue persists: In 10.1 and 10.2.2, it loads as Long Integer with only positive values. In 10.3.1, it loads as a Short Integer with some values positive and some negative. To get around the issue I imported it to FGDB in ArcGIS 10.2.2, moved the FGDB to machine with 10.3.1 and exported it to Shapefile. That shapefile then worked correctly in 10.2.2 and 10.3.1. (Which partly addresses Xander's suggestion). Can you see any problem? Filip ... View more

Hi Jeffrey, We need to do the same thing and so far the only reasonable solution we came up with is the one you suggest, i.e. having multiple copies of the same feature class with different levels of generalization and making layer visibility sensitive to map scale. I was hoping that some cartographic representation​ magic would help, but it turned out to be quite complicated. Can anyone recommend cartographic representation as a way forward? In some scenarios, it might be possible to use the geometryPrecision parameter of a query REST end point​ implemented in ArcGIS for Server since 10.1. However, based on my experiments, it only helps if your geometries are in decimal degrees, otherwise it makes hardly any difference. Also, as far as I can tell, one would have to use the query end point and add features as graphics into a graphics layer, which is far more involved than just adding some kind of layer. Filip. ...

Interesting, I wouldn't expect this to happen either. Looks like you used Geostatistical Analyst to get the surface in your first image. Outputs of Geostatistical Analyst tools are not a rasters as such, but geostatistical layers. For further processing with Spatial Analyst tools it is better to export this layer to an actual raster​​​. Then you can use whatever tools you need (although which tools to use a question in itself) and possibly Reclassify​​​​ and eventually run Raster to Polygon​ with simplify="NO_SIMPLIFY". This should produce polygons with boundaries following cell edges exactly. Then you can Smooth Polygon​ or Simplify Polygon​ for better cartographic representation. Forgive me if you have done all that and your results are as you posted. Hope this helps, Filip. ... View more

Hi all, after some more thinking and digging around in the server configuration files we went ahead and changed the IP address. After rebooting the machine and configuring the Web Adaptor again everything worked as expected. I think that because we used computer names while installing the ArcGIS Server and creating ArcGIS Server site, we didn't run into any problems. The only config file where I found the IP address was related to Web Adaptor and that file was updated with the right details after Web Adaptor was configured again (as if it was after fresh installation). Before changing the IP, it is very important to consider the point raised by Patrick Jackson above, that in some virtual environments DNS and IP settings may affect machine IDs and MAC addresses. That would indeed break the installation but luckily it was not our case. Suggestions to re-run post installation appear often forums, but I think that is relevant only for versions prior to 10.1 because, as far as I know, 10.1+ have no such post installation process. Note that this does not answer questions around changing the computer name, I think that is a different matter since computer name appears in several places in the config files. Regards, Filip. ...

This it is such a major break through!!! Oh my, oh my, I cannot wait for Server to support f=geojson too. Huge thank you and lots of respect! Filip. ... View more

It seems this changing of server IP address when going live is a fairly common thing and yet any response or help I found so far is inconclusive. Thanks for the links, Daniel. I wouldn't expect version 10.2.2 work like 9.2 but it is at  least some indication. More importantly though, it all talks about machine name, not an IP address. Has anyone swapped the IP address before without any problems? I haven't used the IP address myself while installing and configuring the server. Filip. ... View more

Hello, we need to do a similar thing: We want to make one of our internal Windows servers with ArcGIS 10.2.2 and WebAdaptor on virtual machine public. To do that, we need to change the IP address because only certain range of IP addresses can be public in our organization. Some time ago we destroyed one of our ArcGIS Server sites by changing the computer name. Long story short, we were unable to recover the site on that machine despite our attempts based on existing forum threads. Can this happen again when we change the IP address? Do you have any advice for me? Filip. ... View more

Hi, thanks for your responses. Tim, the legend widget is really impressive and I did find it before I posted the question. I was looking for a more lightweight and out-of-the-box solutions and I just overlooked the autoUpdate parameter of the esri legend dijit. That should do the trick for me, although setting it to true means the legend is not sensitive to map scale any more so one would somehow need to refresh the legend in map.on("extent-change", ...) using map.getLayersVisibleAtScale().

Hi Scott, I know very little about samba drives so I'm not able to tell you whether there is anything special about our configuration, sorry. F. ... View more

Hi Scott, Yes, I can import or copy feature classes successfully. Can it be something about your privileges on the drive you are trying to write to? The `ls -l` command shows me that I am the owner and that I can do the following with the .gdb folder on samba: drwxr-x--- and I can do the following with the files in the geodatabase folder: -rw-r----- I can even see the .lock files when ArcMap session is using some data from there and the lock files disappear when I close ArcMap. F. ... View more

Hi, I created a file geodatabase on our shared samba drive with ArcGIS 10.1. Then I created a polygon feature class in the geodatabse, added some columns and edited a polygon feature. In the end I deleted the whole geodatabase again from ArcCatalog window in ArcMap. The only problem I encountered what that it was very slow to respond (perhaps due to network speed) but eventually everything worked fine. I cannot tell you any details about our samba setup though.

Hi Ryan, Xander Bakker​ points to a good place where it is also explained that you can connect to sqlite database directly from ArcGIS (from about 10.2 above). Once you establish connection I imagine you could simply use the Copy Features tool. If for some reason you want to do it in a different way, something like arcpy.FromWKT​ should help. Say you have an SQLite table with a polygon column 'geom' and other integer column 'col1' and varchar column 'col2'. I would try something like this: import arcpy, sqlite3, os from contextlib import closing # create spatial reference from well known ID wkid = 4326 # you need to know the well known ID sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(wkid) # create feature class and add columns fc= r'c:\path\to\file.gdb\featureclass' fc = arcpy.management.CreateFeatureClass(os.path.dirname(fc), os.path.basename(fc), "POLYGON", spatial_reference=sr).getOutput(0) arcpy.management.AddField(fc, "col1", "LONG") arcpy.management.AddField(fc, "col2", "TEXT", field_length=100) # insert rows from sqlite to the feature class with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc, ["SHAPE@", "col1", "col2"]) as ic:     with closing(sqlite3.connect(r'c:\path\to\database.db')) as conn:       cr = conn.cursor()       for row in cr.execute("select AsText(geom), col1, col2 from mytable;"):               shape = arcpy.FromWKT(row[0], wkid)               ic.insertRow([shape] + row[1:])       del cr       del ic You'll probably need to tweak this because I haven't tested this really but I hope it gives you some pointers. Let us know how you get on. I'd quite like to know what works best for you in the end. Filip. ... View more
