Thanks larry for the reply. I am aware of the file upload option with ajax. I was just trying to work with the portal rest api to do the same. (which should be very much possible) Any hints on how to upload kml file using the addItem rest api: ArcGIS REST API I have tried something like this: How to add item to the ArcGIS Portal with the portal API? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange but have found no luck in getting the file on portal. (although the item gets added with size 0 ) Thanks, Pramod ... View more

For this to work I would need to host the KML/KMZ file on a webserver and then use. In my case I have the files in my local machine, so I would like to upload them to the portal content and then use them. The issue is I am unable to upload them to the portal content via code (which otherwise works if I use the portal Add Items option) ... View more

As I mentioned in my other post KML works fine when I try with the usual upload option. The idea here is to upload the KML to portal and generate the URL so that the same can be shared across. As KML can be added to the map only through a web server, we are using the item URL's to add them to the map. Any hint on the code to upload them to portal? ... View more

larry zhang‌ Yes it is just to upload and share. I have verified the KML file via the Add Item button. It works fine there. I have also verified via the link I am trying to use: https://domain.com/portal/sharing/rest/content/users/username/addItem everything works except thro' the code! ... View more

@Vince/@Shannon : Thanks for the reply. There is no actual performance issue due to idle connections but it did affect the map services as we had the connection parameter of arcgis set to default value(64). Increasing the connection parameter resolved the issue. We also found that the minimum and maximum instances in arcgis server were set to same value which resulted in creation of redundant instances even when not required. ... View more

There may be 3-4 SQL Server connections established for one connection from ArcGIS. This is for performance reasons as it allows operations to occur in parallel. The error message you are seeing about the maxiumum number of connections being reached is from ArcGIS, and not SQL Server (it's connection maxiumum is 32,000+ connections). You can increase the number of geodatabase connections by using the sdeconfig command to update the CONNECTIONS parameter. It defaults to 64. A number larger than this is probably due to ArcGIS server creating additional instances. -Shannon Yes shannon, we were able to resolve the maximum connection issue by altering the connection parameter. Ya there are about 3 to 4 SQL server connection for every map service. Is there a way we can control them. A few map services are rarely accessed so we don't want their connection to affect the overall performance. ... View more

Hi Pramod, When you start your services, an SDE connection will be made for each number of minimum instances you have set for that service.  For example, if the minimum is set to 2, 2 SDE connections will be made.  More instances are created when simultaneous requests are made to the same service, and the amount of requests exceeds the available instances.  For example, if 3 requests were made to the same service, and only 2 instances were available, another instance will be created.  If there a no instances available, i.e. the max number of instances has been reached, the client will have to wait until an instance is returned to the pool before their request is returned. What is the minimum number of instances set to for each of your 18 services?  If no other users are connecting through any other clients, i.e. ArcMap/ArcCatalog, and you start your 18 services that each have a minimum number of instances set to 2, you should have 36 SDE connections. Also, when all the users are disconnected from the SDE geodatabase, and all services are stopped, query the sde.sde_process_information table.  Check to make sure there are no orphaned connections listed here. Hi Jake , Thanks for the reply. The 40 instances i mentioned are the maximum number of instances that will be created for the 18 map services( each map service has a varied number of max instances ). This should result in 40 connections made to SQL server. But i see multiple connections getting created for the same instance. ( I varified the process ID of instance and the application establishing connection on database ) . I did check for orphaned connections. They are none. The 140 connections seen on SQL are when the map services are restarted and there are no applications consuming them. ... View more

Did you verify that the REST endpoint is accessible? Example: http://www.someorganization.com/arcgis/rest/services If you have a way of testing this from outside your network, it is better because you will see what users outside your network will see. A USB cellular modem works well or an iphone or android phone's browser. Or ask a friend who is outside your network to check the REST endpoint. Paul Lohr Hi Paul, The rest endpoint isn't hosted globally. Its available only in intranet. The problem i have is , i am able to create a map using the rest endpoint in arcgis.com but when i open the same in explorer it doesn't work. ... View more
