Following-up on the original question, in a federated setup, what is the best practice as far as the portal installation location.  Should it be installed on a separate machine (VM environment) or on the same machine with the web adaptor? or...? Thank you We ended up with a 3 VM machine setup, 1 for the Web Adapter(this is also going to have a couple Flex apps on it too), one for Portal, and one for ArcGIS Server. ... View more

Hi Jacob, If you can, please contact Esri support or your distributor (if you're outside the U.S.) to help you troubleshoot this. -Kim we're working through it now with Esri Tech support, thanks though!! ... View more

yeah that's what i was afraid of. We're going with the same deployment as you are.  I've been looking into a split DNS where your internal traffic is redirected to the server and not sent "out" to the internet. ... View more

I haven't done a text one, but I made one that outputs a JSON and you can use that.  you'll need to download the ODBC for python, pyodbc but the others are part of python. import pyodbc import json import shutil import collections import time import os os.environ['TDSVER'] = '8.0' connstr = 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=SERVERNAME;DATABASE=DATABASENAME;' conn = pyodbc.connect(connstr) cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(""" SELECT field1, field2, field3             FROM TABLENAME            """) rows = cursor.fetchall() # Convert query to row arrays rowarray_list = [] for row in rows:     t = (row.field1, row.field2, row.field3)     rowarray_list.append(t) j = json.dumps(rowarray_list) rowarrays_file = 'C:\Production\calculation\marcWells_rowarrays.js' f = open(rowarrays_file,'w') print >> f, j # Convert query to objects of key-value pairs objects_list = [] for row in rows:     d = collections.OrderedDict()     d['field1'] = row.field1     d['field2'] = row.field2     d['field3'] = row.field3     objects_list.append(d) j = json.dumps(objects_list) objects_file = 'C:\Production\calculation\marcWells_objects.js' f = open(objects_file,'w') print >> f, j date_string = time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S") shutil.copyfile('C:\Production\input\marcWells_objects.js', r'C:\Production\input\marcWells_objects_' + date_string + '.js') conn.close() the last little bit above copies the last file generated and tags it with the time, then I run this script shortly after to provide the new JSON file. mport shutil shutil.copyfile('C:\Production\calculation\marcWells_objects.js', r'C:\Production\input\marcWells_objects.js') conn.close() ...

my 10.1.1 toolbox shows up just fine. Like any toolbox, you can browse to it and add it to ArcMap. Both tools work fine for me in 10.2 as well. And as Gordon stated, the FGDB bug is not in-fact a FGDB bug but a Microsoft bug, as it can effect different file types other than those used by Esri. ... View more

there's a great little piece of python code that'll let you call an ArcGIS Model without having to export it. import arcpy arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"Path to toolbox connection", "TBX") arcpy.NAME OF MODEL_TBX() couple things to note... the path to the connection should be similar to : C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.1\ArcCatalog\YOURDATABASE\YOURTOOLBOX or wherever your .sde files are located.  you can setup a .sde connection as an Administrator or as the SDE user, whichever model you use for security purposes. Further... The name of the model is not the name you give it in ArcCatalog, it's the internal name to the software.  This can be found in the Properties window for the model.  It'll be the in the first dialog box.  You can also change it to whatever you want. arcpy.NAME OF MODEL_TBX() Lastly, you save this as a .py file that you can then point to in Scheduled Tasks.  You'll need to run this script as an administrator on whatever machine you are running the file from. Personally, I think it's easier to make changes to a model as opposed to exporting a model every time you want to change it.  In addition, you eliminate the need to cleanup the exported script, I have yet to have an exported python script from ModelBuilder work without some cleanup. ...

esri has this in the local government site: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/localgovernment/10.1/ it looks like it might do what you want to do with a bit of adaptation. ... View more
