Hi Jamal, two ways: https://<fqdn>:7443/arcgis/portaladmin shows the Version or https://<fqdn>:7443/arcgis/portaladmin/license this shows the Version of the licenses being used.

I dont have the code, but using python, you could create a list of all objectid,y values, sort the list ascending (northern hemisphere) and then step through the list and update the corresponding feature's "ID" field

When Pro or Insights retrieves information from Snowflake - it casts Geography coordinates to Geometry and interprets the feature as point, line or polygon. But I am not clear whether a Coordinate transformation occurs on the fly. Does snowflake actually record coordinate system (Datum in particular) or does it always presume Lat/Long in WGS84?

well - as it turns out - I was incorrect in assuming that the tool provided in Portal to alter the settings of a registered folder data store would go through and update the data source for every layer in every service. (Despite the equivalent tooling for a registered database data store doing exactly that). As our workflow involved using webgisdr to move the server site to a new environment, I should have taken more note of the direction in the help ArcGIS Enterprise backups—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise Must this item or setting be identical across deployments when running the webgisdr utility? Item or setting 10.4.x 10.5.x, 10.6 10.6.1 and later Registered data stores other than ArcGIS Data Store Yes Yes Yes In the end, we have been forced to republish all the existing services with the overwrite option. Fortunately, there had been no update of the web layers from the Portal side (pop-ups, layerorder etc), so nothing has been lost.

At 10.9+, a backup mode has been introduced to webgisdr. This mode re-instates the 50MB limit on transaction logs if it has previously been disabled. If your environment doesn't require geographic redundancy where you restore to a secondary data center, set BACKUP_RESTORE_MODE to backup instead of full. (Full will still clean out ALL files in walarchive) This backup mode can be used when limited hard drive space is available on the portal machine or when backups are not regularly scheduled. When using this mode, the default size limit is enforced on internal transaction logs, preventing them from filling up your hard drive. If you only create full backups, you can set this property to backup.

Sorry Jason - that's all I have. I would suggest take a look in the Couchdb forums - there may be some guru out there with special insight about backup

Is there a chance that Antivirus is ruining on either or both of the data store machine or the file server that is holding the backup files? That could certainly cause slowness The data store backup file is zipped and the restore process will be uncompressing it to staging folder in the data store machine, then copying the individual files to the internal database folders ( for tile cache that’s a lot of individual “shards” you could try running sysinternals pro cmon while the restore is happening to see what’s happening behind the scenes

I wonder if the problem is you are using the same context "arcgisportal" for two different web adaptors on the same server and this is causing some confusion. When a request comes via the :447 WA the Portal doesn't recognise it as coming from its known WebContextURL, so redirects and responds with its internal :7443 address. Unfortunately, I don't know what would repair that - perhaps add https://webserver.internal.com:447/arcgisportal to the redirects list allowed for the portal (go to sharing/rest/self - run getAppID for "arcgisonline", then run updateAppID and include the URL with :447)

We have a 10.8.1 Enterprise on AWS configured across multiple tiers and in HA. The Hosting Server site is also providing Map/Feature services sourced from FGDB stored in a network share. The File Share is owned by the ArcGIS Service account and the directory has been confirmed with Full Control for all subdirectories and files. We imported a webgisdr export to this environment from a separate Enterprise that was configured with the same architecture, but with the server directories and the registered file share data store using a different UNC path (original was \\amznfsxoccaafpl.<xxxdomain>\share\gisdata ). We manually copied the data files from the original file share to the new location (\\amznfsxdadnke2z.<xxxdomain>\share\gisdata) and confirmed the ownership and permissions. When we updated the registered data store via the Portal front end (the data store had been added in the source environment as an item to Portal) to use the new UNC path, I expected this to update the manifest.json for all the services and allow them to restart using the new UNC path to the FGDBs. However, this did not happen. Even after a restart, the services did not restart correctly. They all started with warning messages similar to the following FAILED Message: Can not open file \\amznfsxdadnke2z.<xxxdomain>\share\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\XXXX_XXXXMetro_GDA94.MapServer\extracted\p20\XXXX_XXXXMetro_GDA94.msd. The system cannot find the path specified. Probable cause: The file is inaccessible to Server. Instance startup state: STARTED_WITH_ERRORS Message: Instance of service 'XXX_XXXXMetro_GDA94.MapServer' started with errors. The StandaloneTable:'Tbl_Water_PipeDepth_LUT' in Map:'ESSIL_SydneyMetro_GDA94' is invalid. The base table definition string "Tbl_Water_PipeDepth_LUT" is invalid. Have we made an assumption that is not correct? If so, how should we update the registered data store path and have it propagate to all the existing services?

Hey Marc, do you have the portal's WebContextURL set to https://reverseproxy.domain.com/arcgisportal ?

Do you use Nutanix Files for ArcGIS Server Config and Directories? If so, have you needed to configure the SMB shares to remove caching, oplocks and leasing?

‎04-05-2022

Thanks – hope we don’t need to wait until July

@JonathanQuinn do you have a known postgresql size or other indicator when this might happen?

‎04-05-2022

Is there a support case I can investigate?

Hi John, did you try Chris's suggestion about setting User Authentication in the Internet Settings dialog on the client machine(s). It is always helpful for those on these forums to hear the outcomes of suggested experiments.
