Hi Ryan, On your copied code that is failing, it looks like you left off the data frame index value [0] at the end of df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd). The returned error flags that line of code and basically states it can't get a data frame object. Also, I noticed you commented out the arcpy.env.workspace and did not replace it w/ an input parameter, I wasn't sure if this was intentional but you may want to add another GetParameterAsText line to allow the user to define their workspace environment. I hope this helps. Andy ... View more

Hi Jamal, If you have a failure and need to retrieve your user/roles, I think your best bet would be to restore your site from a backup .agssite file. You can read more on how to properly back up and restore your site here in case you aren't familiar with this procedure. Many ArcGIS Server users take regular backups of their site by scheduling a task to run the backup utility on a regular basis. I would recommend doing this if you aren't already. I hope this helps. Thanks Andy ... View more

Hi Muhammad, If the geodatabase schema's are the same you should be able to run the rbj on your co-workers client machines using the Batch Validate tool which will validate the workspace as part of its runtime process. However, you can avoid having to validate the workspace during runtime by saving a new rbj that references the co-workers workspace through the Reviewer Batch Job Manager: On the co-workers machine, open the Reviewer Batch Job Manager Click Open and load your rbj file Click Workspace In the Set Data Source dialog, select one of the rows and take note of the feature class name Click Change Data Source Navigate to the co-workers workspace and select the same feature class from step 4 Click  OK and choose to apply  to all matching paths (this will update all feature  classes to the new workspace) In the Set Data Source dialog, click OK Click  Save As and save the updated rbj  file to the co-workers local drive They can now reference this rbj when running the checks which has been pre-configured to reference their workspace. I hope this helps, you can reference the  help topic too: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/#/from_the_Reviewer_Batch_Job_Manager/010200000098000000/ Andy ... View more

Hi Heather, It sounds like you are trying to rename the feature classes stored within the geodatabase and then logically group them into feature datasets. In ArcCatalog or within the Catalog tree in ArcMap, you can simply rename a feature class by right clicking on it in the Catalog tree and selecting the Rename option. The feature class name should become editable and you can then input the new name. This help topic describes how to do this in case you need it for reference. You can use Feature Datasets to logically group your feature classes, for example if you had feature classes that stored various tree types you could create a Trees feature dataset and group all your tree feature classes within it. These two help topics cover what feature datasets are and how to create them. Once you have the feature dataset created, you can drag the applicable feature classes into it via ArcCatalog or the Catalog tree in ArcMap. However, the feature classes have to have the same spatial reference information as the feature dataset. Also, make sure none of the feature classes are loaded into the ArcMap table of contents otherwise you'll probably be unable to make any changes to the feature class due to locking. I hope this helps. ... View more

Check to see the ArcGIS Server account has r/w access to your ArcGIS Desktop folder. It should have r/w access to the arcgisjobs folder per setup, but you can check that folder as well. ... View more

Hi Jamal, I've seen similar behavior after updating or changing the ArcGIS Server account using the Configure ArcGIS Server account utility. Like you've discovered, I had to manually start/stop the ArcGIS Server local service in order to successfully publish services, but I haven't had to continually stop/start the local service. Did you update or change your ArcGIS Server account? I would try changing your log filter level to Verbose to see if additional information is logged when you attempt to publish a service. However, you will want to change it back to Warning since the Verbose level can bloat the size of your log files. I hope this helps. ... View more

Hi Carlos, Is your registered database pointing to a different version than the feature layers in the map document? If so, you can register a connection file pointing to the version that the feature layers are referencing and then re-analyze the map document. This would also hold true if the database connection was under a different username. I hope this helps. ... View more

Hi Ryan, When you define the method within the Python codeblock, use a variable for the Reclass method's parameter and use that variable within the method's logic: def Reclass(weight):   if (weight == 6):     return 1.2   elif (weight == 85):     return 85 ..... Then when you call the Reclass method in the Calculate Field Expression parameter, you will then pass in the SYMBOL field: Reclass(!SYMBOL!) ... View more

Hello Julie, Have you looked at the Silverlight API help section for navigating maps: ArcGIS API 3.1 for Silverlight ? Also, I would try building a map cache which you can get help with at: ArcGIS Help 10.1 I hope this helps. ... View more

This is great Eric, thanks. I'll use this during onsite ArcGIS Server jumpstarts since many times the customer isn't sure if they need WA or not. ... View more
