Every few years I make an attempt to lock my services down, every few years I fail. I go round in the same circles, but do make a little progress each time. I've now go most things working.  The Proxy page passes through a user name and password for the services.  this even works for my loop which gets extra stuff using an esri.request. The bit that fails now is Printing. I've followed ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)  but now get Error: Unable to complete operation. If I take the URL that I see in Fiddler, it is something like http://My Domain for the applciation/proxy/proxy.ashx?http://My ArcGIS Server server/arcgis/rest/services/ExportWebMap2/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map/execut… It seems to work - I get { "results": [{ "paramName": "Output_File", "dataType": "GPDataFile", "value": {"url": ""} }], "messages": [] } If I set the Print Service to asynchronous I get similar issues to her http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12431283/esri-javascript-asynchronous-print  - but I'm not sure how to tweak the printTask.execute for aync Any help much appreciated - this is one of my tasks I am trying to use to fill in time before the holidays.

Hi I'm just about to deploy a iPad to a user, to replace his iPhone after we've proved the concept of Collector. However, when I hit the Cloud thingy to download the data for offline use, it takes forever,  I'm guessing because it is downloading all the photos he has taken on his iPhone version of Collector and attached to features. Is there a way around this? Cheers ACM ... View more

OK - has anyone else, anywhere in the world, installed ArcGIS 10.x on the virtualized environment from Vmware now called App Volumes - previously Cloud Volumes?? We are trying to do so.  Everything seems to run ok EXCEPT for background geoprocessing, which takes over an hour for a simple buffer, but after this, if the same tool is run a second time, it takes seconds. As long as the session isn't closed. There seems very little online about anyone trying to do this.  So are we the first? ACM ... View more

I can do this in desktop - see arcgis 10.0 - How can a place a point symbol on the center of a polygon? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange But this will not go over to AGS, it moans about the symbology not being supported. The ability to do this is important as for a map that is zoomed out to our full district it is hard/impossible to see small polygon features.  Having a symbol in the middle of set point size is a good way around tis. Any ideas how to achieve this in AGS? Cheers ACM Answer - sort of. I set a label on this layer.  I used a Shield Type label, but changed from a shield to the symbol I wanted.  I picked a random field for the lable and set the font colout to "no colour"  this seems to have worked - the only issue is that this centre marker isn't then shown as part of the legend, so open to better suggestions. ...

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I have a Collector layer that involves scoring Trees, so 1-10 for Artistic Interpretation, 1-10 for Style and 1-10 for the Evening Wear round. If the score is above, say, 15, some other stuff needs collecting. Any ideas how to do this in Collector?  Or do my users just need to add three numbers in their heads? ACM ... View more

I thought I had seen the last of these.  However, I am trying to retrieve the EXIF metadata of attached images using this code jseidelin/exif-js · GitHub  - it works when I run the example page and load in the full URL of the images returned via a " featureLayer.queryAttachmentInfos" command. However, the AGS server being a different domain to my site hits CORS issues - which I thought I had sorted by changes to web.config and adding the server name in with a "esri.config.defaults.io.corsEnabledServers.push" However, when I try to retrieve the data using a simple function         for (index = 0; index < attachmentPath.length; ++index) {             var image = new Image();             image.src = attachmentPath[index];                       image.onload = function () { // always fires the event.                 EXIF.getData(this, function () {                     console.debug(this)                     var make = EXIF.getTag(this, "Make"),                         model = EXIF.getTag(this, "Model");                     alert("I was taken by a " + make + " " + model);                 });             };            ....do stuff with the info returned         } I get XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://<<server name>>/arcgis/rest/services/test/emap2/MapServer/22/2009/attachments/8. Request header field If-Modified-Since is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers. All other requests to resources using the server name seem fine. I'm stumped.  All I want to do is to know which way up to display the attachments! ... View more

see Find attachments using task in JavaScript API But I've sort of moved on, so I thought I'd open a new thread. So, (as every sentence has to start with "so" these days) I am detecting if my layers have attachments on load with a call to the REST thingy, this is stored in an array, with the array index matching the LayerID When I go through the records returned in the results dataset of an ID task, I check the layerID of returned record against this array and if it has attachments I then do stuff. That's my first issue.  I used something like this                  if (layerHasAttachments) {                                              objectId = results.feature.attributes.OBJECTID;                         t = mapservice2 + "/" + results.layerId.toString();                         featureLayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer(t, {                             mode: esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND                         });                         //use queryAttachmentInfos to return into array the path of each attachment                                                 featureLayer.queryAttachmentInfos(objectId, function (infos) {                                                      if (infos.length > 0) {                                                           for (index = 0; index < infos.length; ++index) {                                     attachmentPath.push(infos[index].url)                                 }                             }                                                      console.debug(2);                          }                         );                                        console.debug(3);                  } However, the code carried on before the results came in -0 I get my debug 3, before my debug 2 - so I have issues then deciding if action is needed if a feature has an attachment. - So, first issue, how can I wait for the info from the "queryAttachmentInfos" before moving on? I had to move on, so every feature in that is in the results dataset that is in a layer that is enabled for attachments has a button next to the result.  This opens a popup where I show the photos (currently we only have photos, so I haven't done the code to detect attachment type).  My code is featureLayer.queryAttachmentInfos(objectId, function (infos) {         imagePopupHTML = "<!DOCTYPE html><html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\'><head><title></title></head>'";         if (infos.length > 0) {             for (index = 0; index < infos.length; ++index) {                 attachmentPath.push(infos[index].url)                 console.debug(infos[index])             }         }         for (index = 0; index < attachmentPath.length; ++index) {             imagePopupHTML += "<a href='" + attachmentPath[index] + "'>"             imagePopupHTML += "<img src='" + attachmentPath[index] + "' style='width:600px'></a></br>"                     }         imagePopupHTML += "<body></body></html>"         OpenWindowThumb = window.open("", "thumb", "height=" + popY + ", width=" + popX + ",toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,resizable=yes");         OpenWindowThumb.document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML = 'Please Wait';         OpenWindowThumb.focus()         OpenWindowThumb.document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML = '';         OpenWindowThumb.document.write(imagePopupHTML);             }     ); So I get the URL and fling it into an basic HTML page - not elegant, but I am pushed for time and needed to show people that field collected data from Collector can be seen in the office in our browser mapping. If I use the raw URL for an image in Chrome, it detects the orientation.  IE doesn't.  So I am guessing that some metadata is stored with the image.  I have failed totally in getting it.  I tried a few add on chunks of code, but they didn't return what I was after.  So, that's the next question - Is it possible to query the server to get image rotation info (and other metadata) Many thanks ACM ...
