Hello all, an open question. we are on ArcGIS 10.1sp1 and are looking to upgrade to either 10.2.2 or 10.3. Were there any changes to the "PLTS" / "Production Mapping" / "Mapping and Charting" components that we should be aware of in moving to either one of these versions? thank you rica ... View more

Can anyone tell me how SDE geodatabases are licensed? in a virtual environment?   Let's say I have the following set up: - a physical server with 100 CPUs hosting several virtual server. - a virtual Oracle server with 36 CPUs - on the Oracle server I have 10 instances that leverage SDE, i.e. 10 SDE_HOME locations Do I need to license 36 CPUs for the virtual server, or a 4-CPU license for each of teh SDE_HOME folders? What happens if I only have 3 SDE_HOME folders on the machine?   I am trying to better understand this, as we are using ArcGIS Enterprise BASIC to license our SDE and ArcGIS Enterprise ADVANCED for our web servers - I want to make sure i understand how many licenses (packs beginning with 4-CPUs) I really need.   my thanks for any insight rica ...

I am currenlty working in 10.1 and the new Connection Properties window is a bit awkward. i suggest the following changes: 1 - put the "version" connection back into the Connection Properties window - having then seperated is really adding time to the set up of a connection - the seperation is also introducing a new step in the connection set up that is being missed by some users 2 - Bring back the "test connection" button to the interface - this way you will have 3 choices at the bottom of the panel: Test Connection, OK (to connect), Cancel - this will mean that a connection can be tested without forcing a connection to the data     - sometimes you only need to set up the credintials, not access the data thank you rica ...

Hello all, we are currently using ArcSDE in Oracle 11g R2 environment. We have been able to convert most of our connections to 'direct connect' with a goal to removing all 'application connections' where possible. Our DBAs are now looking at moving to Oracle 12c on all of our databases. Does anyone know what impact this will have to the ArcSDE? and/or any impact to the connections associated with it? Is SDE supported on Oracle 12c? I can not find any discussion on this at this time ... so can we please start one? thank you rica ... View more

It would be great if we could set the default Job Type on a new Job in Workflow manger. Or if there was some systematic way we can make the software pick the type we want/need as a default job type (i.e. the first job type alphabetically). Right now it seems as if the default job type is the first one created - but this doesn't seem to be consistent.  I think a flexible solution would allow for a default job type to be assigned to each User or each Group in Workflow Manager Administrator. This would make the entire workflow run more efficiently.   ... View more

Hello, Labeling using Key Numbering works well, there is no cotrol to how the numbered list appears on your layout. I think we should be able to configure - if the Key Numbering list should be split-up or displayed as one list for all Numberd Lables on the page - the appearance of the Key Numbering list box. For example, we are currenlty working with a map book in Production Mapping, and the Key Label list is split up all over the place and hard to find. It would be so much better is we could set the Key Labels to appear as a single list in a defined location on the layout with a transparent backgroud to help read it. would love to hear comments from others on this rica ...
