can you try manually unregistering from the Hosting Server before doing the restore? And then manually re-register after? ... View more

would love to hear there is a workaround - I cant think of one. Nicholas - you may need to schedule in doing restores of the individual backups in order ... View more

Hi Andrew, thanks for jumping on - Skye is aware it is not possible OOTB to make an update to an existing .slpk and that is why this is submitted as an idea. The organisation is managing all types of scene layers: 3D Scenes, Integrated Mesh, Point, Point Cloud & Building.   ... View more

@Andrew--Johnson @richardvargas1 can you perhaps provide some insight into how this could be done by manipulating the indexed content of the slpk package? ... View more

Some context around what Liran posted here (back in 2020) We have a 10.7.1 site that was built using AWS Cloud Formation, but with templates customised pretty heavily, based on the Esri supplied templates. Our templates built a HA CF stack split across multiple tiers. We took the original Esri supplied AMI and recreated individual AMIs for each of Portal, Server and Data Store (removing the software we didn't want - such as SQL Server, and Desktop). These AMIs are referenced in the custom CF templates and in the Autoscaling configuration. The result is a set of streamlined VMs. We have setup a work practice with this customer that the AMIs get updated (using the process in this document) each time Patching occurs. This is a bit of overhead, but required to ensure that as VMs are deployed in future (including any Auto-scale event) the new VM is up to date in patching and available rapidly. At 10.9.+ we have some great new templates that will build multi-tier - using an AMI provided by the user - and if Esri software is already installed on the AMI, the CHEF scripting will recognise that and not download and reinstall. And there is a new CF template that will build a custom AMI, downloading & installing the requested software (https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/cloud/amazon/cf-arcgis-ami-windows.htm). That is great - but, it won't automatically patch the  deployed software. So, we will still need to maintain our AMIs with regular updates - particularly to have auto-scaling work effectively and ensure all VMs in an ArcGIS Site are at the same patch level. @DavidCordes - what do you think? ...

what login is being used by your Geodatabase Connection file? It is likely that it is your windows login, which may not have the required privileges in the SQL Server database to create new classes. See https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/manage-sql-server/privileges-sqlserver.htm You may need to ask someone that has Database Owner privilege to grant you the required privilege. Or, if you have a Connection File for a login that has db_owner (or a connection for the "SDE" user), you can use this to grant the required privileges to you login via a Data Management GP tool.   ...

a typo - sorry - the first test link I suggested should have been https://vie-lap-pantelis.esri.com:6443/arcgis/manager you may also try remote on to the vie-lap-pantelis.esri.com machine (if you are not already on there) and go to https://localhost:6443/arcgis/manager but if that doesn't work, please check that the Windows Service "ArcGIS Server" is actually running. also, check from the Start menu  - Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager navigate down to Sites -> Default Web Site there should at this point only be "portal" as a configured web adaptor it is possible you have accidentally created an "arcgis" Web Adaptor that may be confusing your web requests ...

sorry about slow response - I was away from work for a few days. Looks like Server is not even running - did you check the windows service? Can you reach https://vie-lap-pantelis.esri.com:6443/manager ? or https://vie-lap-pantelis.esri.com:6443/arcgis/rest/services ?  ... View more

Assuming you are attempting to configure a Web Adaptor for an ArcGIS Server (you appear to already have a "portal" webadaptor configured) Is "admin" the "Primary Site Administrator" account that was used when creating the ArcGIS Server site? You will not be able to use a Portal user for this dialog. The WA is attempting to access the Server's token service and this will only work for a built-in account - most likely the Primary Site Administrator account (not the windows service account) ...
