I ran into the same issue today on our publication database which is only used for map services.  I'm running ArcGIS Server 10.1 with MSSQL server.  I have about 70 services, but ArcCatalog shows only 4 instances currently running on one of those services, yet SQL server shows 252 active connections.  Any idea how to further research why I have all these open connections?  Second, the CONNECTIONS field in the SDE_server_config table has a value of 64.  So how can the "gisweb" SQL user (used for mapservices) have 252 connections active? Thanks for your help, Sebastian ... View more

I think you might be suffering from the same bug discussed in the thread below.  Basically you need to make each query string unique and you can do that by adding a time stamp. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/73932-query.task-intermitent-error-Unable-to-complete-operation?highlight=query+dirty Regards, Sebastian ...

Ottar,   Thanks, that works perfectly!  For anyone using the tax parcel viewer, you can change the window.open line in the submitPrintRequest function in the utils.js file to: window.open(data.results[0].value.url +  "?ts=" + new Date().getTime() ); If you are using the print widget in Flex, if you can edit and recompile the  print widget, then change the printTask_executeCompleteHandler function  in the  ExportWebMapForm.mxml as follows: var date:Date = new Date(); var dateString:String = "" + date.fullYear + (date.month+1) +  date.date + date.hours +  date.minutes + date.seconds navigateToURL(new URLRequest(dataFile.url + "?ts=" + dateString )); ...

Lindsay,   Thanks for your response.  I'm planning to stick to my 10.1 configuration of the template because I had to make several modifications.  It looks like updating the geocode service for those apps that use one is fairly easy, but the network analysis (routing and directions) requires you to update the web application to provide authentication using your organizations ArcGIS online account (and consume your credits).  I look forward to the October 16th meetup and the fourth quarter update of the 10.2 template mentioned in the blog post because the only documentation I found in the ArcGIS online help (pasted below) does not go into enough detail for me to successfully implement generation of a secure token and its use when consuming the service. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/#/Accessing_services/02r3000000nm000000/ ...

For staters, in the basemapGallery.js file, you'll want to get rid of the if(isMobileDevice) conditional and get rid of the else loop.  That will set up the basemap elements for any device.  You may also need to edit the ShowBaseMaps function in the utils.js if the basemap dropdown doesn't render correctly on mobile devices.  There likely are some other pieces, but if you start with those two and debug on a mobile device, or hard code isMobileDevice=true in the init funciton and debug on your desktop you should be able to find any other missing pieces. ...

Justin,   I assume you mean that you want additional information to be added to the "elected officials" panel along with UsCongressional, StateSenate, etc.  If you look in the config.js file towards the bottom you should find the ElectedOfficialsTabData section.  There you would just add another layer, reference the appropriate layer number in your mapservice, replace the "display Text" with whatever labels you want to appear, and put the field name fo the map layer that should appear inside the "${}" tag.

Jay,   I got caughton that one too and finally found that the intention of the template was to not use the basemap switcher on the mobile device at all.  The UseForMobileDevice property is only supposed to be set on one basemap.  If you wanted to implement the base map switcher on a mobile device you would have to dig into the javascript and css and implement the functionality yourself.

I apologize for cluttering this string with such an obscure issue, but I've resolved it, so I feel I should at least post the solution.  This only applies if using the static publishing method with swfobject in your index.html.  In that case in your index.html page, you must give the inner nested object an ID (the default html generated doesn't do this).  It seems the popup window used by the street viewer needs a reference to the flex application, and uses the ID attribute to obtain it. The inner nested object is used only by non-IE browser [if !IE], thus the failure in Chrome and Safari. Below is an example.  <object id="TestInternal" name="TestInternal" align="middle" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%">     <param name="movie" value="index.swf" />     <param name="flashvars" value="configLink=config_external2.xml" />           <!--[if !IE]>-->     <object id="internalObj" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="index.swf" width="100%" height="100%" align="middle">     <param name="flashvars" value="configLink=config_external2.xml" />     <!--<![endif]-->     <div>      This is your alternate content......      </div>     <!--[if !IE]>-->     </object>     <!--<![endif]--> ...

Robert,   I understand.  Thanks for your help (and the great widget).  As I said, the issue is definitely narrowed down to the custom index page I use.  If I figure out what causes it I'll post back here.   As for explanation of using the static publishing method for the internal version of the viewer:   County employees don�??t have administrative rights on their desktops.  However, when visiting websites they are often prompted by the flash plugin to install an update (unrelated to the flexviewer app).  If they attempt to install an update when prompted, the flash player is corrupted such that it no longer successfully reports its version when it is queried with javascript (as is done with swfobject).  Therefore, the application would no longer load since swfojbet reports a player version of 0.0.0, and the application requires 11.1.  For unknown reasons, the swfobject static publishing method seems to handle the corrupted flash player plugin correctly, whereas the dynamic method (used by the standard Flexviewer app) does not. ...

I believe it has something to do with my publishing method using swfobject.  We have an internal and an external facing application.  One uses the static publishing method and one uses the dynamic publishing method.  If I drop the two attached index pages into the application, for the static page the street view widget fails as described in my previous posts.  With the dynamic page, it succeeds.  Any insight as to why that might be? ...

Robert,   Yes both browsers are updated.  I can get your live previews to work (both 3.4 & 3.3 versions).  I must have done something screwy when I implemented the widget.  I'll try loading a fresh copy of the widget into Flash builder and recompiling it. Sebastian ... View more

Robert, My first thought was that I had not set that up correctly as well, but since it is working perfectly in IE9, I think the API key must be in order.  In fact, I can see the "Google API traffic report" log the requests from IE, but I don't get any requests logged when tying to use the widget in Chrome or Firefox.

Robert,   In Chrome, I don't have any extensions installed.  In Firefox, just firebug.  As far as plugins, I think they are all pretty standard ones: Firefox - Acrobat, Google earth, Google UPdate, Java, Microsot Office 2010, Flash, Silverlight Chrome - Same as above as well as Remote Desktop viewer, and Native Client In both browsers I tried enabling "allow all sites to show popus" with the same results. In both browsers the popup window does open.  In Firefox, I can actually get the debugger to appear in the popup window and to stop on line 106 of the StreetView.html file, then it errors out and the console says that "google is not defined".
