Hi @NathanEasley  Very late to this thread, but found it very helpful for demystifying what the activity codes meant.  I understood you on your point that the  Edit_log_table should never be edited manually.  However, is it okay to create a coded-value domain and apply it to the ActivityType column documenting  the 13 Activity Codes as shown by @RyanKoschatzky?   Is there any risk to doing so?  (e.g., possibility of future activity type codes in the future?). Thank you! Ed ... View more

Here's another addition to the thread in case it's helpful to others since this took me awhile to sort out scheduled tasks using ArcGIS Pro's Python 3 environment. Setup: Windows Server 2016 Datacenter ArcGIS Pro 2.5.1 Concurrent-use licensing  "Authorize ArcGIS Pro to Work Offline" is not checked.  Not signed into either AGOL or Portal (for sake of testing) Python version 3.6.9 ArcMap 10.7.1  Concurrent-use licensing  Python version 2.7.16 *Yes, this particular server has both Pro and ArcMap and therefore Python3 and Python2, but only Python3 was set into system's path variable. Issue:  Our Python 3 scripts worked correctly from both the command prompt or running them directly from an IDE, yet Windows task scheduler kept reporting an error was returned in the last run result: (0x1).  Reason for Error: Windows task scheduler defaulted to running Python 2, causing scripts using Python 3 to fail. It took me awhile to catch this since only Python3 has been set inside the Environment's path variable, so I assumed that Windows Task scheduler would be running Python3 --- not Python2. (*** not sure about the message about the environment not being activated. ***) Helper diagnosing script: I created a dummy script using only Python 2 and used the sys module to report which version of Python was being called when the script was run through Task scheduler. The script revealed it was Python2, cementing that I needed to explicitly point to Python 3 installation. import os import sys from datetime import datetime def main():    try:       basepath = os.path.dirname(__file__)       os.chdir(os.path.join(basepath, 'Test_script'))       with open("log.txt", "a") as f:          f.write('hello world! @ {}\n'.format(datetime.now()))          f.write('Python installation info:\n')          f.write('major: {} minor: {} micro: {}\n'.format(sys.version_info[0], sys.version_info[1], sys.version_info[2]))    except Exception as exc:       f.write(exc) if __name__ == '__main__':    main() Solution: I had to specify the path to Python3 for program/script and the fullpath to the script as an argument. Again, since my Python2 scripts just worked when I specified the path to the script (done on a different server with Python2 installation set in path), I thought it would work be the same for Python3.     Python 3 Script (Server with python3 in path and without python2 in path) vs.  Python 2 Script  (DIFFERENT Server with python2 in path and without python3 in path) ...

The solution below does not perfectly address resizing a legend and have it scale proportionately while maintaining aspect ratio, but it allowed me to resize my legend and keep it dynamic rather than convert it to graphics.  Resizing this approach does proportionately change the font sizes for the various legend items (e.g. Layer Names, Heading, Labels, Description), but it does not keep the aspect ratio the same.  Change Fitting strategy to "Adjust font size". When I was initially trying to resize the legend, it was set to "Adjust Frame" and I couldn't resize the legend. #arcpro 2.5  ... View more

I interrupted my script while it was compressing the GDB during some testing. Subsequently, I received ERROR 000837 when I reran it. After running the arcpy.ClearWorkspaceCache_management()  function, everything worked fine again. ... View more

Yes similar, but with the addition of formatting date fields too, since they're treated differently from numeric fields. ... View more
