@ShanaBritt thanks for the reply! And sorry, because my previous post wasn't clear. The situation is this: we have a web app that residents can use to request service from our city. They specify the location of the service request by dropping a pin on a map. Dropping a pin triggers a reverse geocode to get the "closest" address. The geocode service we call uses a locator with three reference layers: address points, street centerlines, and park polygons. Park polygons are included as the POI type because we want any pin dropped within the park to be tied to the official park address. That works as expected. However, we have a few edge cases where residents drop pins outside the park, but the reverse geocode call still returns the park address. We think that's because the parks in the edge cases are very small, and their centroid is less than 25 meters from the perimeter of the park, which is the search tolerance for the POI centroid feature type. Hopefully that makes more sense. Is there a way to avoid returns from the park polygon centroids when pins are dropped outside the parks?

@ShanaBritt We are bumping into an issue similar to what @KadeChapman3 describes. We want a reverse geocode to return a polygon result if the searched x/y is within the polygon. We do not want the reverse geocode to return results if it is outside the polygon, but within the search distance of the polygon centroid. Is there anything new or coming to Pro/Enterprise that would support that?

It sounds like the issue is with the 64x version of the 19c client on your AGS machine. I'd recommend working with your DBA to verify EZCONNECT is enabled and/or TNS is properly configured for that specific client. Sounds like you have a number of Oracle clients on your AGS machine and that can definitely get confusing. Good luck! 🙂

Has anyone upgraded their geodatabase to 11.x that is still editing a Geometric Network from ArcMap? I think that's supported if we stay SQL Server 2019 or lower. Thanks in advance for any input!

Thank you @RhettZufelt for the response! I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately got the same result saying the feature layer does not exist or is not supported. Any other ideas?

Hello all. I'm attempting a script to append records from an ArcGIS Online feature layer to a local geodatabase feature class. I want to run the script nightly as a scheduled task. The below works well when I have Pro open and am logged into ArcGIS Online as my Portal. It fails when I run it as a stand alone script, saying the hosted feature layer does not exist or is not supported. Any advice how to accomplish the append properly? Thanks very much in advance. import arcpy from arcgis import GIS #connect to ArcGIS Online agol = GIS(username="username",password="password") #find the hosted feature layer item = agol.content.get("6ceffb124830415a9149e7c965e0fd12") lyr = item.layers[0].url #reference the geodatbase feature class fc = r"C:\temp\gdb.sde\GISDB.GIS.TARGET_FC" #empty the feature class arcpy.management.TruncateTable(fc) #append from the feature layer to the feature class arcpy.Append_management(lyr, fc, "NO_TEST")

@JackDrost maybe a long shot... but is "allow per request modification of layer order and symbology" enabled? If so, try disabling that and restarting the service. Newer versions of Server have that enabled by default, while some of the older services have it disabled by default. It's tripped me up once or twice.

I have an old JS API v2.8 map that won't display a cached map service I just published. Older, seemingly similar cached services from the same server display OK. I'm curious if the tile cache storage format changed at some point and the new format won't display in old API versions. Thanks in advance for any info.

Is it possible to connect to an enterprise geodatabase from Autodesk Civil 3D? We run a SQL Server geodatabase at version 10.7.1 and use Civil 3D 2020. This worked for us in the past with a 10.3.1 Oracle geodatabase. We had to install the old ArcSDE 10.2 command line tools, and then we could connect using something like the following: We haven't been able to get that to work at 10.7.1 and with SQL Server though. We have the SQL Server client installed (MS ODBC Driver for SQL Server 17). Any experience with this?

Hello. I'm using the survey widget in Experience Builder with a survey I created in Connect. My ExB widget is configured to "send data to this survey" so that when a user clicks a polygon in a map, the selected shape is sent to a geoshape question in the survey. To complicate things, I added a single choice yes/no question to the survey asking the user if they want to customize the area they selected from the map. If they say 'yes' then I want the map to display in the survey so they can edit the shape. If they say 'no' then I want the map to stay hidden, which is controlled by the relevancy on the geoshape question (e.g. ${CustomizeArea}='Yes'}) The problem is the polygon shape is not being saved when the record is submitted if the user says 'no' to the CustomizeArea question. Maybe that is exactly how it should work, but I hoped the map would just be hidden, and the geoshape would be submitted anyway. Apologies if that is convoluted, but hopefully it makes some sense. Any suggestions? The goal, if not clear, is to save the geoshape to the record even when the geoshape question is hidden from the user.

Thanks @jorisfrenkel! The script ran without issue for me on all but one server. But then I made the change you suggested and it got the job done.

Thank you @RandallWilliams. I see where I missed that in the instructions. Thank you for the quick response.

I ran the Esri mitigation script for GeoEvent on a 10.7.1 server. Following execution of the script a security scan still found the JNDI class here: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\GeoEvent\data\cache\bundle8\version0.0\bundle.jar Any advice? TIA

Is it possible to apply a geographic transformation when synchronizing a replica through a geodata service? I found the following technical article: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000009763 The procedure it describes works for me when synchronizing changes directly from a geodatabase to a geodatabase. But I have not been able to apply a transformation when there is a geodata service in the middle. I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if it just isn't possible. Thanks for any input.

@BradNiemand I think other responders have discussed some of this above, but I can offer my take. Regarding your first question, I don't think the list would be arbitrary all the time. We have vastly more small apartment buildings, with say eight or fewer units, than large apartment buildings with dozens or hundreds of units. For those smaller buildings a reasonable number of suggestions would display all the subaddresses. For large apartment buildings, I think the subaddress suggestions are still helpful (even if they're the wrong ones), because they alert the end user that subaddresses exist at that location and they should keep typing to get to the correct one. Otherwise the end user may pick the base address (with no unit) assuming that is good enough. For #2, alphabetical works for me. For #3, possible, but I'm not advocating to set the max suggestions high.
