How to restart

I am tired of rebooting the entire VM whenever AGE gets locked up. With the Linux version there are scripts but in Windows world, remote into the server and

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

then pick your poison, right click, restart.

There is a PostgreSQL instance running on port 7654 and you can log into it using the site administrative account and password, whatever you chose and installation time.

User accounts (and many other things) are stored in gwdb. I can connect to the account and list out the table for example.

\c gwdb
SELECT username FROM gw_users WHERE role='account_admin';
\dt
\d gw_groups
SELECT title,owner FROM gw_groups WHERE owner NOT LIKE 'esri%';

Where do files get stored??

Image files

If you upload a file (say, an image) in Portal using "Add from computer", you can reference it using a URL for example to use it as a thumbnail. It will be assigned a GUID and then stored in C:/arcgis/arcgisportal/content/items/495fe19ccfb847a286f8b4e98a400e16/download.jpg When you use this method you can get the URL from Portal too, in this case it's https://delta.co.clatsop.or.us/portal/sharing/rest/content/items/495fe19ccfb847a286f8b4e98a400e16/data Curiously there is no indication in the URL that the item is an image. It's just "data". The REST API exposes information about the image as https://delta.co.clatsop.or.us/portal/sharing/rest/content/items/495fe19ccfb847a286f8b4e98a400e16

Note if you change its name when you upload it, it will not rename the file. So if you tell Portal the name is "House" that's what you will see in Portal but the actual file will still be house_over_water.png

If you upload a thumbnail directly, for example, for a map from its "details" page, the file gets uploaded to the folder that has the map in it, for example, in C:/arcgis/arcgisportal/content/items/0b842b314c27452ca372561b3078f44d/esriinfo/thumbnail/house_over_water_orig.png and a new, thumbnail sized version (200 x 133) will be saved as house_over_water.png

ArcGIS DataStore

FAIL: The WEB GUI for the DataStore says there is already a relational store but will not let me connect to it because it's already there.

Relational data is stored in postgresql in c:\arcgis\arcgisdatastore\pgdata and commands are in c:\arcgis\arcgisdatastore\pgsql10.6\bin Note that the "10.6" here refers to the version of Postgres not the version of ArcGIS.

Tile caches are stored in hashed files in c:\arcgis\arcgisdatastore somewhere... not sure if I care really. Caches are boring.

"Scenes" are stored in couchdb (nosql) on my server they are in c:\arcgis\arcgisdatastore\nosqldata. I have not worked with Scenes yet so no more info here from me.

See c:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\, for example this command will reveal the location of the data files on your server, I suppose it varies...

I am guessing my datastore relational database is db_0eoas

But there are scripts even on Windows! They are described in this reference. The scripts live here: PS C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\tools such as this one

Operation completed successfully.

From the describedatastore command I learned there really is still a relational data store in there, it's just not connected up. I think it got disconnected a few months ago. I need a place to stash hosted data so after 10.6 -> 10.7.1 I resurrected it. I probably only need to use the registerdatastore command.

Tile cache

The DataStore also includes a "Tile Cache" that's not really a tile cache. It's actually CouchDB running on port 29080. I can see the Fauxton interface, http://cc-gis:29080/_utils but I have to know what my credentials are. Turns out it's easy to find out! Do this as powershell admin user

c:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\tools\listadminusers.bat and lookie, it exposes all admin and password entries for PostgreSQL and CouchDB DataStore!

It's not a tile cache

Curiously there do not appear to be any documents stored here. Just a configuration. Yet my server does indeed have tiles... I asked about it in the ESRI forum and was told that the Tile Cache is actually used for storing Scenes. I have not tried creating any scenes yet so it's empty.

Older stuff

SSL and HTTPS

Today I noticed error messages about a "weak certificate" in my debug log for OpenLayers. I had to navigate to the server to refresh the certificate (to tell it that a self signed cert was okay in other words.) Once I did that pages loaded again in OpenLayers.

I needed to get "Let's Encrypt" set up on my (Linux based) ArcGIS Server. I did this later on. Note Let's Encrypt only wants to install onto public facing web servers so you will have problems if you have a server that's locked up behind a firewall.

Installing into an Ubuntu VirtualBox VM on Bellman

After installing Ubuntu,

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install emacs-nox build-essential tomcat8 tomcat8-admin

I had to issue the mount command myself to get the VirtualBox additions cdrom to play.

mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Now I take a snapshot once the machine is configured and before installing ArcGIS... vboxmanage snapshot server take before_arcgis

I set the vm to share ~bwilson/Downloads and /green/GIS/Data_Repository

Set up tomcat

Edit /etc/tomcat8/tomcat-users.xml and add a user with the role manager-gui. For example,

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/>

Running the Enterprise Builder

Current advice: never use the Builder. Advice direct from ESRI help desk.

The tarball is already unpacked in Downloads, so I ssh into bellman and

sudo -s
cd /media/sf_Downloads
cd EnterpriseBuilder

The instructions are in HTML format, so I NFS mounted the folder on my Mac and opened the toplevel html file in Firefox.

Gather prvc (provisioning files) good luck navigating the ESRI web site!
Run ./Setup

*** DIAG002: Unsupported Linux distribution.  Check the ArcGIS Data
Store System Requirements for supported Linux distributions.

This is like being slapped in the face with a wet Mackerel, since I chose the distribution from ESRI's website. Yep, here it is in the HTML docs too:

 Ubuntu Server LTS 16.04.3

I have this: PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS" Hmmm... that looks okay and in fact their

Ah.. fixing... bumped it to 10GB. Bellman has 32GB so that should be fine. Now it's giving me more instructions. However clumsy these changes might seem to an experienced Linux user, make them to keep ESRI happy:

/sbin/sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

I edited /etc/hosts to put this line in

192.168.123.72 duster.wildsong.biz duster

and I coerced the 127.1.0.1 line to have the domain in it, too.

Log out, log back in as arcgis and check

Run setup again.

All is in readiness.

Okay fine. You told me I don't need Web Adaptor in the deployment but now you block configuration. Over and over I read docs that say I don't need it but every time I try to install, I am blocked when I don't have it.

There is a configuration SCRIPT tucked away though, trying that... it requires -ws and -wp options, so, oh well.

tools/configurebasedeployment/configurebasedeployment.sh -e [email protected] -fn Brian -ln Wilson -qi 10 -qa 'secret' -u bwilson -p 'secret'

Hence... installing Web Adaptor

Running the Web Adaptor installer

Download and unpack tarball, then ignore the statement that you should be root. Log in as 'arcgis'

cd WebAdaptor
./Setup -v -m silent -l yes -d ~

Post-install work

Take another snapshot once it's running.

Set up the services to start automatically at boot. Or do it by hand...

ssh arcgis@duster
datastore/startdatastore.sh
server/startserver.sh
portal/startportal.sh

Enterprise Geodatabase

On Windows this often can mean Microsoft SQL Server

SQL Server

User auth

SQL Server backup

Check for connections in ArcGIS Pro, and kick people out if need be.
Launch SQL Server Management Studio ("SSMS") anywhere (does not have to be on the SQL Server)
Right click the database, select Properties->Options->State and set Read-Only to True (this will dump all connections. See step 1)
Connect to database using your own credentials (or some user that can READ the data and WRITE to the target on the network share.)
Right click the database eg "Clatsop" and use Tasks->Backup.
Select Recover mode = FULL
Set Backup component to Database
Set Destination to Disk
Delete whatever comes up in like "Nul"
So far, I have been unable to write output to a fileserver so I send it to "C:\Temp\sqlserver.backup" THIS IS STUPID but it works.
Ignore the warning that it can't find the file because it does not exist
Click on "Media options"
Set "Verify backup when finished"
Click OK
Mark the database as Read-Write (See step 3)

Once the backup has completed I move it to a file share. Also note that C:\Temp\ refers to a folder on the SQL Server NOT on your desktop!!

Also note an ssh session does not allow me access to the file server either. What? Oy. I have to open a remote connection and do it there. Yup.

Example file in its final destination \\cc-files01\Applications\GIS\backups\cc-gis-2022-05-18_backup If I try to write ".backup" on our file server, it fails! I cannot! Humans!

You won't be able to delete the "C:\Temp\" copy until you exit SSMS! Ha! Fraught with many perils, this process is.

I have successfully "restored" from a full backup onto another SQL Server machine, it works. I have yet to restore onto the machine it came from.

Versioning

When editing in ArcMap by default all edits are versioned.

https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/geodatabases/changing-versions-in-arcmap.htm

"Change Version" is disabled (greyed out)

You can't change versions while an edit session is active.

"I can't edit a table because it's not versioned"

Publishing a layer

Registration: I want the data to continue living in SQL Server so first I have to tell the server about it. They call this process registering.
