I'm thinking maybe the 10.5 release of ArcGIS Server was mistakenly coded to act like an ArcGIS Online subscription where I noticed in a recent ESRI MOOC two users are not allowed to name something the same (Organization-Wide). Reading about ArcGIS Data Store 10.5, it seems like everything will get tossed into a single schema in the back-end. Reading about Pro 1.4, it is currently not able to publish directly to an ArcGIS Server into its separate ArcGIS Server folders - It publishes directly to Portal for ArcGIS which then creates all map services in the root folder of ArcGIS Server. (Federated that is) That would match the behavior of not allowing duplicate feature class names. If this is correct and intended, it is a huge restriction to put on enterprise GIS/geodatabases. A show stopper of sorts for ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 at this time until workarounds and/or new supported ways of doing things are figured out. If this is not a BUG with an immediate fix, it will force customers like us to completely change proven production workflows with ArcGIS Enterprise. Hoping it is just a mistake somewhere on my part. I'm working a case with ESRI support now. ... View more

Where is the ArcGIS Enterprise configuration to automatically e-mail such logs to system administrators? Example: 1) Portal for ArcGIS / GIS Server / Web Adaptor service stopped/started or not responding 2) ArcGIS Server site lost communication to ArcGIS Data Store xyz and these registered data locations 3) ArcGIS Data Store xyz is now in read-only mode due to full-disk drive ...

Hi Patrick, Thank you for posting your item. FYI part two here, and I'll post in a geonet discussion too. Today we noticed similar "missing layers" is some ArcGIS Server 10.4.1 map services and found that the SQL Server windows services for our enterprise geodatabase that are set to start automatically did not start after a maintenance reboot last night. Starting the windows services manually works fine but some of the GIS map services were still only showing partial list of layers. Those SQL services are now changed from Automatic to Automatic (Delayed Start) I think they used to be set to Automatic (Delayed Start) but a recent SQL Server back in November to update from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014 to get compliant with ArcGIS 10.4.1 probably set them back to default of just Automatic. We hadn't rebooted the SQL Server during the holidays until a couple weeks ago and thought the services not auto-starting was just a fluke. We'll see if the Automatic (Delayed Start) works during the next maintenance window. The troubleshooting led us to this Microsoft Bug: 59557 It seems because our servers are now virtual on fast SSD drives, they boot too fast for service domain #user accounts to get authenticated. This Microsoft article outlines a work-around registry edit we can also try. A service does not start, and events 7000 and 7011 are logged in Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 -Bill ServicesPipeTimeout‌ #Service_Does_Not_Start_Automatically‌ ...

Yes, the report should have the same look and feel as the popup presents. A nice print table button, an export to CSV button and e-mail button Example of clicking on a parcel now just takes the x/y and the popup displays 1 of # to view. It should take the geometry of the parcel (and offer to buffer it +/- number of feet) and overlap it with all the layers in the map. A typical report could look like this: Parcel Number:         12345603ST Flood Control Districts       AE       DE Zoning       R-1       R-A Census Tract   4987 Block Group      54654 Owner   Smith John A Address    1234 Main Street City Limits   Redlands State           CA Building Permit       546464       321312 Assessed Value   656464646 Home Owner Exemption   7000 Senate District   Jones Election Polling Place   Fire Station 2 Soil Type   Sandy etc. ...
