Or at least make the error "00129: <value> Editor Tracking dates in database time zone" a warning only. I 100% understand Esris' rationale but in many cases users only work in one time zone and its standard to record date/time in local database time and not UTC. ... View more

Hi William, I tried to copy C:\arcgisportal directories to a common shared storage and configured 2 portal to read data from same location. I changed dir.data=\\fileserver\shared folder Abhishek, as far as I know this isnt possible right now without engaging Esri (USA) Professional Services. We have tried as you describe and both Portals will start but they cannot share the same Postgres database. ... View more

One of our customers is using Microsoft TMG/UAG to access Portal remotely from the internet. It works fine even on tablets etc. Unfortunately it is not compatible with Collector or the ArcGIS App. ... View more

We have successfully tested a Hot/Cold sync of Portal using Robocopy scripts. Our testing indicates it is working fine. We are doing the same with ArcGIS for Server, which requires a bit more encouragement in order to start up successfully (we had to use a Python script to change the any host names in the site folder structure). ...

We are seeing this error on Portal for ArcGIS (10.2.1). Did anyone ever figure out what the issue was? ... View more

Actually there are performance implications of native views over SDE created views, see these links; http://gdbgeek.wordpress.com/2014/01/15/feature-class-vs-query-layer-vs-spatial-view/ http://gdbgeek.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/feature-class-vs-query-layer-vs-spatial-view-again/ ... View more

Thanks for the update. ... View more

We are interested in this too. We believe (and hope it works) that copying the Portal directories from the hot to the cold site will work. We have proposed this for a project that is under way already. ... View more

Actually Ravi, the customers Portal site was upgraded successfully. I think the issue is that (unlike the upgrade instructions) I am prompted to create the initial administrator account. At this point I thought it had failed. I created this account (again) using the exact same username, password, email, security question and answer. The account was created successfully and only after this step does the postgres executables appear in the task manager. I think I did this step incorrectly on my other attempts. I did also have to recreate the indexes using the empty_index.zip file (as per another forum post). Im still curious as to why I am being prompted to create the initial administrator account. As I mentioned earlier in the thread several colleagues have tried to upgrade Portal with the same results. One colleague said he has upgraded Portal with no problems and he did NOT get prompted to create the initial administrator account again. Very odd. ... View more

Hi Sigurd, Please try the following steps: 1. Stop the portal service 2. Rename your index folder 3. Unzip empty_index.zip at ArcGIS\Portal\framework\template folder to your index folder 4. Start the portal service, and then rebuild full indexes with portal admin API Thanks for these instructions. We had the same issue post upgrade. The empty index fixed the issue. One question, is it safe to delete the renamed index folders? I assume they are no longer needed? In fact do we need to keep any of the 10_2 folders that are in the arcgisportal folder post upgrade? ... View more

Hi Trevor, Thanks for this additional info. The build date does match with 10.2 Final. Since you mention, upgrade works with a fresh install of 10.2 Final, are there any special configuration on this portal that you see could be causing the reported behavior? If this continues to be an issue, please open an incident with esri Tech Support so we can look into this further. Ravi Ravi The only difference between the fresh install and the installs I have tried to upgrade is that the other installs have an ArcGIS Server site federated with it. No other customisation has taken place. I've just tried it on a customer development environment and the same problem has happened. Only the tomcat service starts - there is no Postgres service starting. I'll talk to our support team tomorrow and get them to raise a ticket with Esri Tech Support. Thanks ... View more
