Not sure if you have seen this page. It may be related and may be of some help. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/problem-to-configure-webadaptor-10-8-1-w-tomcat-9/td-p/1046894 I just ended up going with a IIS web adaptor as it suited uor deployment better anyway.

Completely agree that this should be fixed ASAP. This can't be rolled out organisational wide or used in an Enterprise situation as it currently stands.

Hi Amy, How would you be looking at "moving" the old portal and server onto the same new virtual machine? To me that would require a re-install/re-build of the software and then a re-configure of apps that use the old hostname to point them to the services on the new hostname. So if you are going to do that, then why not just re-build with the latest version that you want to go with on the new server and then migrate services across to the new server and then incrementally re-configure the apps to point to the new server. This approach would also really depend on how you are licensed and the number of services etc that you would need to migrate across. It would least give you the chance to work out what doesn't work in the new version and fix as necessary as you go. The process might talk a bit longer but it might be a "smoother" process.

Hi Everyone, I have a situation where geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.3 aren't using all of the data from a spatiotemporal big data store feature service (Geoevent Server & Enterprise 10.8.1) While developing my process, I loaded 500,000 points into the BDS via a geoevent server process. The BDS feature service is then accessible via our Enterprise Portal etc. So in Pro I connect to Portal and am able to add the BDS feature service to a map, view the points and open the attribute table and see all 500,000 points in the table. However then if I try and run some geoprocessing tools that use the BDS feature service as an input, the gp tools will only use the "max record count" as defined in the BDS feature service configuration, which is 10,000 by default. The tools where I find this is the case are: Point to Line Export Features (to export the data out to a file geodb) Data Engineering tool (for trying to generate some statistics) If I increase the "max record count" in the BDS feature service, then the tools will use more of the data but only up to that max value. Despite being able to see the total number of features in the attribute table, there is no indication to the end user from any of the outputs of the gp tools that it hasn't used the total number of features for its calculations and has only used a smaller sub set of the available data. It is similar to these issues https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-geoevent-server-questions/big-datastore-cannot-fetch-data-beyond-the-10/m-p/1134467#M3700 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-geoevent-server-questions/querying-the-spatiotemporal-big-data-store/m-p/194560 I would have thought that the ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tools would be able to query the feature service to find the max record count and the total number of records and then loop through the required number of times to process all of the features for that operation. The data is going to significantly grow over time, (its at about 5 million pts now), and would prefer to store the data in the spatiaotemporal BDS instead of our enterprise gdb. Is there anything that I am missing when trying to use the BDS with ArcGIS Pro? Regards Steve

Hi Kathryn, I use something like this to create objectids. This is from sqlserver cast(row_number() OVER (ORDER BY gis.water_valves.asset_id) AS int) AS objectid, In relation to you seeing more features than should be there, make sure that the feature classes aren't registered as versioned etc because if they are then you would need to use the <tablename>_evw views instead of the the base table name in the SQL. The _evw view is where it joins the adds and deletes tables with the base table all back together to give the "real/current" picture of the feature class. Regards Steve

Easiest workaround I found was to get an ArcGIS Online account and set Collector up to use that and then link the feature datasets that are being edited back into Enterprise Portal via different methods, ie setting Portal to link to an authenticated Web service or Collaboration between Portal and AGOL.

On our windows 2016 server with ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 I think I had some sort of permission error as well when I ran the --delete option. I then ran the cmd prompt as administrator and the delete option worked without giving any error messages. At the time I was logged in as the user that did the ArcGIS install and the AGS runs as that user but I still needed to run the cmd as administrator though for it to work. Not sure if this is the same issue though.

I am looking at doing a 10.8.1 to 10.9.1 upgrade on our ubuntu linux servers soon so will be keeping an eye on this. Have you logged it with your esri support yet? If so have they come back with anything? Regards Steve

@MkbRMIT I think the /etc/security/limits.conf file is only really useful for setting the limits for the install process and if you are not using the Systemd start up script as Systemd seems to impose its own limits. If you are using the arcgisserver.service systemd start up copied from the <install path>/framework/etc/scripts directory then you need to update it. I am using the systemd startup script so I have edited /etc/systemd/system.conf to set DefaultTasksMax=infinity and /etc/systemd/system/arcgisserver.service to set LimitNOFILE=1048576 in /etc/security/limits.conf I have set <user that runs the software> soft nofile 1048576 <user that runs the software>hard nofile 1048576 <user that runs the software>soft nproc 25059 <user that runs the software>hard nproc 25059

I would be looking at how you are doing the port redirect. Tomcat still looks like it is running on 8443. From memory all of the web adaptor doco doesn't take into consideration the tomcat port differences in the examples etc so it is hard to follow. Another possible way could be to run apache with mod_proxy to redirect to the tomcat ports. Similar to the link below but modified for 443 and 8443 instead of 80 and 8080 http://blog.marcnuri.com/running-apache-tomcat-and-apache-httpd-on-port-80-simultaneously/

I did eventually get 10.8.1 web adaptor to work with ArcGIS Server and portal on Ubuntu 18.04 but it was a bit complicated. I re-configured tomcat to use ports 80 and 443 instead of 8080 and 8443 (which are the default tomcat ports) before I could get it to work, (it probably would have worked with the default ports but I didn't want to use them), and also use the a specific version of tomcat. From memory I don't think the doco gave good examples of using the default tomcat ports to register the webadaptor with server and portal. I also found that I had to manually install a specific version of, tomcat 9.019, to also get it to work. The tomcat install from the ubuntu repository (I think it was 9.0.21 at the time) I couldn't get it to work. Esri support also confirmed this. I have attached the rough process that I used as a txt file as the formatting in my doco didn't paste well into this editor. You will have to adjust it for your usernames, paths, server names etc. I didn't end up using web adaptor on linux because I think one of the limitations was that it couldn't do domain authenticated users, which I wanted. So I ended up going with web adaptor on IIS linking to our ArcGIS Server & Portal on the linux server. Hope it helps and saves you some time getting it going. Regards Steve

Thanks all I think the "File handles and processes limits" in the System Requirements doco needs to be updated to clarify that the limits set there might not necessarily be what is in use once the systemd files are in use and that the systemd service files should also be updated after the installation. Regards Steve

@ChristopherPawlyszyn When commenting out the LimitNOFILE variable in the startup script it doesn't seem to revert to the values as set in the limits.conf file (which I thought it should). Here is what ArcGIS Server reported in the logs. Services didn't start correctly and randomally failed. Even though /etc/security/limits.conf contained <username running arcgisserver> soft nofile 1048576 <username running arcgisserver> hard nofile 1048576 When setting the LimitNOFILE variable in the startup script to 1048576 I haven't seen the error since (but the server might not be under as much load as well). Regards Steve

Hi @ChristopherPawlyszyn Yes I am using SystemD to start and stop the ArcGIS Service service. As I was checking usernames that the service was starting and running as I did come across 'LimitNOFILE' set in the arcgisserver.service file. I haven't had a chance to restart the service with it commented out at this stage to see if it makes any difference. Will report back when I do. Regards Steve

Hi All, We are currently in the process of ramping up our ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 install on our Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS linux server. I am just starting to see these types of errors in the ArcGIS Server log files despite the hard and soft nofile limits set to 1048576 in the /etc/security/limits.conf file. https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/linux/arcgis-server-system-requirements.htm The user running the ArcGIS Server process is the same as the user name listed in the limits.conf file and the values looked to have been set correctly Anyone know of any reason why ArcGIS Server wouldn't be honouring the increased set value? Regards Steve Bowden
