Yes, in fact that is what is required if you install ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS for Desktop on the same machine as you are doing.  If both ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS for Desktop are installed on the same MS Windows machine, specify the 64-bit client before the 32-bit client in the PATH environment variable.  Otherwise, you will experience connectivity issues. ...

That behavior sounds like the bug to which I referred earlier, however to be sure you would need to contact Esri technical support and ask if the NIM is applicable to your configuration.  If the bug is the reason for what you're seeing, you may need to upgrade to 10.2 since that version apparently contains the fix.  In summary, my suggestion is to call Esri for verification so that you can be certain. ...

Hi all I am currently installing ArcGIS Server 10.2 in a Windows 2012 machine and I get the following error message "This page can't be displayed" when I try to open the Manager  http://localhost:6080/arcgis/manager For the URL you provided, are you attempting to access it FROM the server directly or from your client PC?  It might seem like an obvious question, sorry.  If you're making that request from your client PC, substitute localhost with the host name of the server containing ArcGIS for Server. ...

Did you create the Portal database and register it with AGS as a managed data store by chance? ... View more

As a follow up, if you're referring to the PLTS comment from the second esri staff member in this thread then I think my same comments apply.  While a bit more advanced than may be required, the suggestion isn't out of the realm of possibilities if the original poster wants to store layer files inside the geodatabase.  I still stand by my comments about your conduct. ...

This is so dumb that an ESRI person doesn't understand the original question!  It's very simple to understand and of course you don't!  I'm running into this same issue since there is no way to import KML linework directly into a Feature Class (FC) using Toolbox, and you can only create a layer file from it.  Since this is the case, how am I suppose to get KML lines into a feature class?  Oh and by the way, I'd like this to be a batch process since I have many KML files that I'll need to merge together into one FC.  ESRI needs to start listening to it's customers instead of jumping onto the next "cool" thing!! Fix the application you have now so that it works the way it's suppose to, then move on to something else! You should reconsider saying such abusive things in a public forum, especially when you simply are not correct.  You state that the individual from Esri did not understand the original question.  Let�??s dissect his response, shall we: Okay so I'm a bit confused. Are you attempting to convert your shapefiles into a geodatabase format? If so, you have several options. You can use the tools in ArcToolBox to convert between formats. Go to Conversion Tools -> To Geodatabase -> Feature Class to Feature Class. You could also use ArcCatalog as well - right click on the shapefile(s) in question and select Export -> To Geodatabase (single). �?? Clarifies the vague problem that the original poster is having and offers multiple suggestions Layer Files (*.lyr) store the properties of a layer (such as symbology, labels, scale thresholds, etc.) in ArcMap and cannot be stored inside of a geodatabase. �?? Describes what layer files are and implies they serve a different purpose than feature classes and shapefiles Hope this helps and feel free to contact me at rleclair@esri.com if you have additional questions.  �?? Offers genuine follow-up assistance in case the original poster has additional questions When I re-read Esri�??s response in the context of the original issue posed in this thread, I think many would argue that the response is appropriate and well-written based on the information provided at the time.  You then go on to complain that you aren�??t able to �??import KML lifework into a feature class�?� and that Esri should fix their software before rolling out new products, yet you seem not to be aware that this type of functionality already exists.  Beginning years ago at the 10.0 release, the KML to Layer (Conversion) GP tool converts a KML or KMZ file into feature classes and a layer file.  Here is the link since you obviously missed it: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help../index.html#//00120000004w000000.   You should do your research before making such accusations.  While we all have experienced challenges with Esri software at one point in time or another, I don�??t think it warrants using abusive words like �??dumb�?� when talking about ANYONE in the forums.  Most of us are here to help those who seek technical assistance in a supportive and constructive manner.  In the future, you should avoid making statements like you did here.  You�??ll only embarrass yourself in the end. ...

"I am not only dealing with feature datasets and classes, but also with proper relationships, domains and subtypes, copy/paste would not be very much relevant to my case." I assume by proper relationships you mean relationship classes.  The copy paste method in ArcCatalog respects relationship classes, domains, and subtypes amongst many other properties in your geodatabase and it's objects.  In other words, a copy paste brings everything over that you need when picking feature datasets, feature classes, and tables.  You would need to perform a mass selection using shift + click when performing the copy.   I think it IS a relevant option for you. ...

Sounds like you're using 10.0 release based on the link / info you provided.  Are you using the C# method?  If so, I think you're running into a known bug, NIM076353, which is apparently addressed at the 10.2 release.  The bug report indicates it was found at 10.1, but my reading online tells me it started even before that.  http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDc2MzUz Perhaps the VB.NET method would be an option for you; otherwise, upgrade to 10.2 if possible. ...

Is your SSL certificate using the fully-qualified host as its NAME?  In other words, instead of SERVER1 does it say SERVER1.domain.int instead?  If not, you need to obtain a new certificate.  The FQN is required in the certificate for Portal.  From your screenshots, it looks like the certificate simply isn't trusted despite it being in the Trusted Certification Store.  What happens when you request the Portal URL from a web browser directly?  Does it load the Portal homepage?  Are you challenged with a certificate warning in the browser? ...

I used Create Enterprise Geodatabase tool and it worked fine ! I created my Database connection with the newly created database. Now, when I decided to export the XML Workspace document (schema+data) of my .gdb to the .sde SQL Server Enterprise Geodatabase, it says that : ''Import XML data failed. Database user name and current use schema do not match.'' I tried also with CopyFeatures tool as well as Exporting the feature classes from their respective feature datasets to the .sde newly created datasets but it is not working... Have I missed something regarding the database permissions? or do I still need to add a super user? I am confused, please help ! Regards. You may be better off using a manual copy/paste of your feature datasets, feature classes, and tables in ArcCatalog if you're trying to migrate data from a file geodatabase to an enterprise geodatabase as a one-time workflow. ...

If you are certain that the 'yes' is the answer to the following two questions below... [INDENT]Is there only one ArcGIS Server in your site?[/INDENT] [INDENT]Are you confident that the ECP number you're using for the Network Analyst extension is valid and is for the correct version (i.e., 10.0, 10.1, 10.2)?[/INDENT] ... then I would recommend that you contact Esri Tech Support to investigate the issue further. ...

Joe, how about using a Python script to parse your W3SVC1 logs?  They are usually located at C:/WINDOWS/system32/LogFiles/W3SVC1 on the machine. Your script could run once per day, once per week, etc. as a scheduled task.  I do this daily to parse out GET requests for requests to a particular web application and I record the requester IP along with the size of the response, the return code, and the client application making the request.  You could also parse the logs for POST requests if you need to capture more.  One the data is parsed, you can write it to a log file or insert the data into a database for reporting and record keeping purposes.  Maybe a solution like this is a bit too custom for your liking, but you may already have the tools you need to do this without buying a COTS solution. EDIT: W3SVC1 logs are those for the Default Website #1 in IIS.  W3SVC2 would be for the next website created, should one exist, and so forth. ... View more

A few things / suggestions more... try these independently.  1. Try changing the user account that runs the ArcGIS for Server Windows Service to a domain account; for the time being, add that account to the Administrators group on the machine.  Reboot and check services again.  2. Add or modify the IRPStackSize registry value to 18.  Reboot and check services again.  If no change is seen with the services, increase the value in increments of 3 until you get to 30.  If 30 does nothing for you, change the value back to its original state before modifying it; otherwise, delete it if it didn't exist before.  Reboot your server each time you modify the value.  There are many instructions online how to modify this registry item.  3. Change all of your services to run in low isolation rather than the default high isolation.  Reboot the server and check the services again.  Another question for you... is your server a physical machine or is it a VM? ...
