The next release will have support for lines and polygons. Russ, when can we expect this release? Thanks. brian ... View more

Summary of what we've learned using event tables. Disable Caching in ArcMap - http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/25846 Disable Caching in ArcGIS Server 10 and before - http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/34350 Disable Caching in ArcGIS Server 10.1 Log into the Server using the ArcGIS Server user Copy and paste the 3 lines below into a text file, rename the extension of the file to .reg., then double click to install Restart the service Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESRI\Server10.1\ArcMap\DynSeg] "UseOptimization"=dword:00000000 Disable Caching in ArcGIS Server 10.2 - from my testing, route event caching is disabled at 10.2.  I am trying to get Esri to verify this but I've run into road blocks at every turn.  There response is that 10.1/2 is a black box and I would need to pay Professional Services to find workarounds. Below are the results from my testing of 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2.  At 10.0 and prior, we used OLE connections for our linear event layers (which didn't seem to have the caching problems).  At 10.1 OLE connections were removed so we needed another approach to make our environment viable.

Does this get run on my local machine where I built the MXD? I assume it isn't run on the server (we don't have ArcMap on the server). If my assumption is correct, would I then need to rebuild the MXD and republish the service for the non-caching to "stick"? Hate to muddy the water even more but below is the registry key that we added to our 10.1 servers (not on local machine). I do realize this is different than what Jake said (and odd that it has ArcMap in the path) but I did get this from Esri (Tom Brenneman) and also tested it to make sure that it worked. On the server.... Log into the Server using the ArcGIS Server user Copy and paste the 3 lines below into a text file, rename the extension of the file to .reg., then double click to install Restart the service If you want to me to forward the email from Tom, send me a private message and I will forward. brian Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESRI\Server10.1\ArcMap\DynSeg] "UseOptimization"=dword:00000000 ...

i would assume that the 10.1 article (in tandem with the information provided by Jake) would result in desirable behavior in 10.2 as well, because the root architecture is the same as 10.1. The reason why I was originally questioning whether this was correct for 10.2 or not, is that the there are registry keys under a 10.2 folder (HKLM)....so does the 10.2 software look at the 10.1 folder for the dynseg key or should the key actually be under the Server10.2 path for a 10.2 install? brian ...

the 10.1 link is down for server maintenance... looks promising though! Corrected the link in the post. brian ... View more

Just to add more memory information. We have 2 identical VM machines, one running 10.0 SP2 and the other is running 10.2.  Both machines have the same services running...which equates to about 100 ArcSoc.exes on each machine.  On the 10.0 machine, the ArcSoc.exes average 77k and on the 10.2 machine, the ArcSOC.exes average 132k. I've been talking to support about the increased memory usage and their response was that it is documented in the help.  I was pointed to documentation for 10.0, http://help.arcgis.com/en/systemrequirements/index.html#/ArcGIS_Server_10_System_Requirements/015100000072000000/ and to the documentation of for 10.1, http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/system-requirements/10.1/index.html#//015100000072000000 . If you read very closely, the specs from the development environment changed from 2GB to 4GB.  I guess from that you are suppose to infer about the increased memory usage between versions. I was also given this bug number which was declined.  NIM092919 This doesn't solve anyone's problems but just confirms what everyone is seeing.  And you will see the same memory increase in 10.2. brian ...

Yes, I've experienced the same thing.  I haven't nailed down exactly what is happening but it seems that I had to apply permissions multiple times for them to stick.  I did start logging out and clearing my browser cache before checking to see if the permissions had applied correctly that seemed to help clear up some of the issues I was experiencing but not all.  brian ...

Just trying to get something fixed with our application.  And we felt that if we could get the samples working we could track down where our problem resides. We've been working on the issue for several months.  Including support calls.  The original one was at the beginning of December. One of our attempts to get it resolved is here. I will delete my replies to clean up the this post. Sorry for the inconvenience.  It will not happen again. ... View more

In the future, please start a new thread instead of piggybacking on an existing, unrelated thread. Sorry about that but I've contacted support multiple times and cannot get a straight answer.  There is also a bug submitted, but of course, that is set to low priority.  Since the API group is active in the forum, I thought I would take a chance (and at the risk of being scolded) to see if the issue could get elevated. That being said, we'll take a look at the mobile samples in IE8. Realistically, those are meant for browsers running on phones/tablets, not legacy browsers. Yes, you are correct but if you wanted to create a adaptive web page (to work on both platforms), instead of having 2 separate code bases, you would want the application to also work in IE 8.  Our IE 7/8 usage is still 20% of all hits.  Not something we can ignore. ...

Derek, Do you happen to know when the Javascript team is going to fix the mobile samples?  Everyone of the mobile samples error in IE 8. Thanks. brian ... View more

Hi Doug, Thanks.  Your suggestion really helped.  I had to set the content twice on the dojox.layout.ContentPane to get the javascript to fire.  Set it once to get IE to recognize the tag, then set the content again with the same tag to get the javascript to execute.  Seems to work on the major browsers. brian    function dfdVideoCallback(param) {      var cpX = param.cp      //try to get videodiv, in IE 8 had to wait little, seems to work ie even though the videodiv node is being replaced by the set content      var vidDiv = dojo.byId('videodiv');      if (vidDiv!=null){       cpX.set("content", "<div id='videodiv'>Loading....</div>" + param.liveview);      }else{       alert('Failed to get video');      }    }       //used to get the liveviewdata    //called by maptip each time the maptip record selector moves to that graphic    function getLiveViewContent(graphic) {     var videoscript = graphic.attributes.liveviewdata;     var dfdVideo = new dojo.Deferred();     dfdVideo.addCallback(dfdVideoCallback);     var cpX = new dojox.layout.ContentPane({id:"videoContainer"});     var videoNode = "<div id='videodiv'>Loading....</div>" //+ videoscript     cpX.set("content", videoNode);     //give ie8 some time to catch up     setTimeout(function(){dfdVideo.callback({liveview:videoscript,cp:cpX});},200)     return cpX.domNode;    } ...

Just heading out the door and didn't quite follow all of your code but I believe the following is how I got around that problem in my situation.  As far as why, didn't dig that far into it.        //need to do this to the first one so it shows, the rest are handled by graphic attribute "restrictiontext)        if (tmpSpan != null){         tmpSpan.innerHTML = tmpRestr;         } ...

Hi Dan, I use the following to return related records.  I don't know if it would apply in your case as my code just queries related records based on the objectid.  The code creates a tag for the related records, once the data comes back from the second query, it populates that tag. brian deferred.addCallback(function(response) {        // response is an array of identify result objects        // Let's return an array of features.     //class='mapTipTitle'     return dojo.map(response, function(result) {    //console.log(result.layerName);    var feature = result.feature;    feature.attributes.layerName = result.layerName;    switch(result.layerName){     case "cameras":      var media = new Array();      if(feature.attributes.Link!="Null"){       media.push({        "title": "<div id='cameraNDDOT' class='mapTipTitle'>{Description}</div>",        "type": "image",        "value": {        "sourceURL": "{Link}",        "linkURL": "{FullPath}"}})      }     case "incidents":      var webLink="";      var addInfo="";      var objectID = feature.attributes.ObjectID;      var restrictionSpan = "<br/><span class='mapTipContentBold'>Restriction(s):</span> <span id='inrestr-" + objectID + "' class='mapTipContent'>{restrictiontext}</span>";      //build query      queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask(restrInUrl);      //build query filter      query = new esri.tasks.Query();      query.returnGeometry = false;      query.outFields = ["ObjectID","RestrictionText","RestrictionUnits","RestrictionDesc"];      query.where = "ObjectID=" + objectID;      //execute query      queryTask.execute(query,function(results){       var tmpRestr = ""        dojo.forEach(results.features,        function(feat, index, array) {         tmpRestr = tmpRestr + "<br/>   " + feat.attributes.RestrictionDesc + " - " + feat.attributes.RestrictionText + " " + feat.attributes.RestrictionUnits;        }       );       if (results.features.length > 0) {        var tmpSpan = dojo.byId("inrestr-" + objectID);        dojo.forEach(map.infoWindow.features,         function(feat,index,array){          if(feat.attributes.ObjectID = objectID){           feat.attributes.restrictiontext = tmpRestr           return false;          }          return true;         }        );        //need to do this to the first one so it shows, the rest are handled by graphic attribute "restrictiontext)        if (tmpSpan != null){         tmpSpan.innerHTML = tmpRestr;         }       }      });      if(feature.attributes.AttachedFile!="Null"){       addInfo = "<br/><span class='mapTipContentBold'><a href='downloads-incidents/{AttachedFile}' target='_blank'>Additional Information</a>"      }      if(feature.attributes.WebLink!="Null"){       webLink = "<br/><span class='mapTipContent'><a href='{WebLink}' target='_blank'>Web Link</span>"      }      var content = "<div id='contentNDDOT'><span class='mapTipContentBold'>Highway:</span> <span class='mapTipContent'>{HwyDesc} {Direction}  (MP: {MPFrom})</span><br/><span class='mapTipContentBold'>Location:</span> <span class='mapTipContent'>{PublicFrom}</span><br/><span class='mapTipContentBold'>Description:</span> <span class='mapTipContent'>{ConditionDesc}</span>" + restrictionSpan + "<br/><span class='mapTipContentBold'>Comment:</span> <span class='mapTipContent'>{Comment}</span>" + addInfo + webLink + "</div>";      var template = new esri.dijit.PopupTemplate({      title: "<div class='mapTipTitle tocBdrDkGrey tocBgRed'>Incidents</div>",      description: content});      feature.attributes.restrictiontext="None"      feature.setInfoTemplate(template);      break;    }    return feature;     });   });       // InfoWindow expects an array of features from each deferred    // object that you pass.
