Hello, I have a MapService published to ArcGIS Server 10.6.1. The data comes from a local FGDB. In the MXD when authoring the document to define the service I set the aliases: Because aliases in the FC in FGDB are not good: But when I publish this as MapServie to ArcGIS Servier the Aliases are read from FC in FGDB and not from MXD settings? I tried publishing the service under a new name, adding the layer from scratch to MXD and i keep seeing the alias set in MXD being overriden by FGDB. Is this expected or is this a Bug? I can only see information that when publishing Feature Service (which is not my case): Author maps to publish feature services—Documentation | ArcGIS Enterprise Field properties Field properties set in ArcMap are exposed through the feature service; this includes field aliases But I could not find any information about this in MapSerivces. Cheers Szymon

I set the vale as you suggested and I could see that the fetch_buffer_size has increased from 20 to 100, so looks great. In addition I have performed Alter Index REORGANIZE on the index associated with ObjectID on the feature class to help reduce data fragmentation. From some tests I've run the speed of data copying from SQL to FGDB increased 2x times, so the result looks quite good. Thank you for your help!

Chet, Can i just use SQL update to modify ATTRBUFSIZE or do i need to get hold of sdeconfig ? Also I wanted to check that let's try just setting the ATTRBUFSIZE to 1000000 Is actually meant to be 1 million and no changes are needed to MAXARRAYBYTES ? I saw some legacy doco which talks about dependency between the two, just want to make sure please.

Hello Chet, As for SDE:'10.6.0 Geodatabase' / Release '106001' ATTRBUFSIZE : 50000 MAXARRAYBYTES : 550000 Is it safe just to double values of both of the above or just one of them ? Not sure how best to come up/compute higher-but-safe values. The purpose of the database is purely for feature staging, so I am happy to spend all of the resources on reading the records from SQL to FGDB. Since the DB is in Azure SQL i sometimes see many PAGEIOLATCH operations, so was thinking that by increasing buffer size, once the sql process is holding a data page, it could read as many records as it can before it has to release the page. The Feature Classes vary between themselves by a couple of columns - is there a query i could run to get a summary of row size to compare? Thank you for looking into this.

Hello, I have a SDE database stored in Azure SQL. In there I have several Feature Class with 100s of millions of features in each FC. I copy those to a local FGDB with use of arcpy.Append_management. I have observed that for various Feature Classes I get different data transfer speed at which the features are streamed from SQL to my VM. As part of investigation i noticed that after running this diagnostic SQL on the DB while the data is streamed: SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_cursors (0) c CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (c.sql_handle) t Cursors related to faster running transfers have higher value of 'fetch_buffer_size' column. Although in all cases the data transfer is handled by arcpy.Append_management, requests for different FCs get different values of that buffer (20/40/70). Is there any way to impact/enforce higher value for that fetch_buffer_size parameter? All FCs sit in the same schema in the same database, yet transfer one FC is copied at 2M/s, the other 6MB/s, and I would like to understand how could i maximise the transfer speed. Cheers

Hi Suraj, I dont have a solution yet. Can you please collect as many details of your issue and place them here? What sort of machine are you using/virtual in cloud or phycical? What exact operating system? What version of ArcPRO? Please provide as many details about your data as possible - local FGDB or referened from SDE? What antivirus? Under what account do you run ArcGIS Server - local or domain? Does the issue happen always for the same area that you cache or is it random? Do you ever get your cache build successfully? Do you have a pattern that would allow reliably reproducing the issue? Please, the more details you provide the easier it will be to help Esri looking for a fix.

Hello, Since a while when running tile caching of a Map Service published from ArcPRO 2.4 on Standalone ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 on Windows 2016 (Azure VM size F64) i get randomly, after different periods of time, following crashes in ArcGIS Server Logs: SEVERE 18 Dec 2019 15:15:03 Service containing process crashed for 'System/CachingToolsEx.GPServer'. Please see if an error report was generated in 'C:\arcgisserver\logs\<machine_name_here>\errorreports'.

Hello, I have a Standalone ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 on Windows 2016. When I go to Server Manager>Logs i can see that my map services report issues with accessing fonts. This happens both to the basic default service SampleWorldCities as well as a map service I published from ArcPRO 2.4: WARNING 10 Dec 2019 08:20:47 Invalid embedded font encountered: CIMPATH=font_arial_ttf/font_arial_ttf.dat Fontsave_Light_3857_201912091756.MapServer 8776 MapServerX::InstallTempFonts WARNING 10 Dec 2019 08:20:39 Invalid embedded font encountered: CIMPATH=binaryreference/font_esri_11_ttf.dat SampleWorldCities.MapServer 8932 MapServer.Connect WARNING 10 Dec 2019 08:20:39 Invalid embedded font encountered: CIMPATH=binaryreference/font_arial_ttf.dat SampleWorldCities.MapServer 8932 MapServer.Connect The fonts are installed in the OS, so I wonder what does the warning really mean? Are they available to the MapService or not? How to make the Warning go away? I am concerned that if I run large caching work the fonts wont actually show on the tiles, so I'd much rather not to get any warnings and make sure all works fine in the AGS Setup. ArcGIS Server is running on a Domain account that is a member of Local Admins on the VM Regards

It does not look like WFS can be published from a View. And even after fiddling with Update Definition https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/update-definition-feature-service-.htm and setting some of the fields to visible:false they still come through in WFS endpoint.

Depending on your needs you can purchase Premium Feature Store: https://www.esri.com/en-us/store/arcgis-online/arcgis-online-premium-data-store

Hello, I have an AGOL Hosted Feature Service that is shared as a WFS. In the resulting WFS all of the source attributes/fields of the source Feature Service are exposed. My requirement is not to return/include OBJECTID and Shape__Length attributes in WFS. Is this possbile with AGOL please ? Regards

‎05-09-2019

Has this been fixed by any chance? I am in a position where I'd like to be able to swap in/out individual FCs that underpin Hosted Feature Service layers. This is a big, 300GB ish service with 30 layers. Originally they come from multiple FGDBs. Then for publishing to AGOL get consolidated to a single endpoint. As such I dont want to refresh the entire service when only one source FGDB needs updating. It would be much greater if I could upload the FGDB and repoint my service definition to the new. up to date endpoint.

Hello, I am hitting this issue where Maplex labels on the map tile cache occasionally get 'exploded' in a irregular way. My cache is build on Azure (5xF64s machines with ArcGIS 10.6.1 on it). I noticed that the issue applies to all tiles that get to be generated by the same TaskStatus. But on the other hand tiles on the neighboring Task area are all labeled as they should without errors. The corruption seems to be spread in random places across the cached map which is very frustrating as i dont know what is the criteria for this. So basically i get some random spread of corrupted TaskStatus areas. No errors seen in logs though. All marked as 'Success' in TaskStatus... On the left there is the content of the corrupted Task Status. Street names get 'exploded' all over in that area. But labels in tiles generated in the next TaskStatus area, to the right, look fine everywhere. The cyan line to the right of the screenshot indicates boundary between the two TaskStatus polygons that i pulled out after the tile caching process. The issue applies to many types of labels. Could be place name, town name, street name, etc etc. If I rerun the caching process the issue goes away. This does not seem to be data related, as re-caching resolves it. I cannot get this in a reproducible, consistent way though. I suspect it might be machine specific (caching on a 5x multimachine site, all reading config from the same fileshare location, all boxes the same though), but then I cant tell which box would that be really. I cannot just stop one box, as then I if one of the nodes is not present in the site then submitting the caching job crashes. I tried keeping only one CachingTool as 1=min=max (instance number) hoping to redistribute the load across all 5 machines, but again all rendered OK, so i guess all machines did what they should. It feels that in some random situations the Maplex engine randomly splits the letters of the Label, but i cannot tell why. I dont think its missing font related as it does render, it just exploded. Regards, Szymon

Hello Suppose I have a tile map service hosted in AGOL. I then would like to update it in some areas from a tile package. According to the doco there exists importTile method. There is a doco for it here: Import Tiles—ArcGIS REST API: Services Directory | ArcGIS for Developers According to it the method is under: https://<adminservicecatalog-url>/services/<serviceName>/MapServer/importTiles Question: What is the equivalent of the above /imporTiles for an AGOL hosted tile service? I can get it for an on-premise setup, but cant figure out for AGOL . Can i ask for a full url sample please?

‎08-27-2015

Depends on what do you expect there to be in the jsonString. I assume you are thinking about a serialized feature set? If so then the answer is 'no'. The query actually needs to be passed on to arcgis server backend that runs the query operation for specified input conditions. Then returns the result to the client.
