incident map

[BrianLomas]

I'm trying to configure the public safety incident map scripts (provided by ESRI download in the "Incident Mapping.thx") to work with our data. I'm trying to publish the information to a existing features service via the "Import and Publish Incidents" script but I need to create the correct config file first. My biggest questions is, what is the "AGS server connection"? It's looking for a file but I'm not sure what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Brian,

I believe this is the connection to ArcGIS Server - if it's looking for a file, maybe this will help:

So, is this a file I need to create or is there one I can just point to?

I fired-up our server box and see in ArcCatalog, under "GIS Servers" a connection to "arcgis on FOOBAR001_6443 (admin)" - that should be the connection file.

• Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\ESRI\Desktop10.x\ArcCatalog

• Windows Server: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\ArcCatalog

• Windows 7: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.x\ArcCatalog

This is where it should live. On my end, I see "arcgis on FOOBAR001_6443 (admin).ags" in the directory.

Brian,

Did this work out for you?

I think this will solve the issue but I haven't been able to try. It turns out I did not have the "GIS Server" connection that I needed in the first place. Thanks for the help.
