You are correct! When adding the additional datastore it shows as primary even if a primary is already configured.  Note from support: When using the config wizard for DS it always lists them as PRIMARY, even if it’s an added DS. Is this true?----That is correct, it lists as Primary. However, to be on the safer side, we do need to check if the configuration has been changed. In most of the cases, command line utility has worked in configuration of datastore successfully. ... View more

After talking with support they suggested trying the configuredatastore utility. This registered the additional datastore as standby. This does not address why the config wizard says the additional DS is primary, which is confusing, but I was able to get back to a PRIMARY & STANDBY DS. ... View more

Yes, it's showing PRIMARY in the config utility. I had the same experience at 10.8.1 being named STANDBY in the config, hence my apprehension.  I have had my fair share of issues with DS so I am cautious of any changes. I put in a ticket with Esri.  Thank you for the feedback and hoping this is the fix. I'll follow up when it's resolved. ... View more

We utilize linked servers and views to access our CIS and CMMS systems within GIS. There is a performance impact accessing tables through a linked server, but having access to CIS and CMMS in GIS has been worth it. ... View more

I had a similar issue. We are more concerned with the accuracy of the meters and using the geometric network. We scripted the process of creating the services lines (straight line to main) and fix them on a need-to-be-fixed basis. ... View more

Thanks!  That was what I was looking for. ... View more

Did you ever resolve this?   ... View more

The short answer is yes. We are using TOGAF to develop an enterprise GIS system architecture driven by our business needs. For GIS capacity planning I would suggest looking into ESRI system design process.  http://www.wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/System_Design_Process http://www3.opengroup.org/subjectareas/enterprise/togaf https://www.esri.com/~/media/Files/Pdfs/products/arcgis-platform/architecting-the-arcgis-platform ...

Quick follow up.  You have to sync, remove from device, then sync and delete on the server.  If you do not remove it from the device or attempt to remove it after you sync on the server it introduces some issues with deleting and managing the replica and versions it has created.  We were trying to coordinate too many people and ended up moving everything to a managed DB.  Much easier. ...

Based on what I have seen Collector/Server creates a version for every device the map gets loaded on.  Even if it is the same map. I still do not know how or why the orphaned versions and associated replicas became orphaned, but I was able to delete them without introducing anymore "errors".  I plan on some more testing to recreate the error and figure out how to avoid it with scripting, but in the end it feels like using a managed database is the easiest way to manage data collected with Collector. ...

Sorry.  Not a fan of the new forum, but I digress.  Unfortunately, this process is not working for us.  I keep getting orphaned versions created by Collector and I thought it might have to do with a setting in the reconcile process.  Maybe post without deleting and then go back and delete?  I have also had some odd sync'ing errors, but now I do not think they are related to this process.  I am wide open to suggestions so I'd take anything you got.  Please share. -Brett ...
