We are sitting at just barely under 100K, so hopefully my opinions will still apply. We have the full arcgis enterprise, servers, portal, etc. We do not tie any of our arcgis servers or portal into our CAD/911/Dispatch, specifically for the reasons you've stated.  We update our addresses and streets into the CAD system on a monthly basis, ship data to the state for NG911, and provide separate shapefiles/gdb for other Emergency Services mapping applications. That way each of those is self-reliant/independent of any other service going down, or it is on the vendor in the case of cloud applications. Our ArcGIS servers are taken down every morning for data version compression and updates, and then once a month for regular maintenance and updates.  That kind of downtime wouldn't work in a 24/7 dispatch environment, and I certainly wouldn't want to be getting the calls dealing with that kind of stuff when outages come up.  The closest thing that we have to what you are describing, is that we have setup a feature service that is for one of our Emergency Services application. However, that service is not directly tied into the application.  The Vendor takes our service, scrapes the data, and uploads/hosts the map data on their end.  That way it is all self-contained, and we don't have to manually push data updates. Hope this helps ... View more

Thank you for posting this.  It is such a drastic change, and even though there are automated methods for cert renewal, installation, etc. the full process is certainly not there when it comes to specific applications and appliances, ESRI included. We'll have to see how all of this shakes out.  ... View more

just Nutanix on-prem. With ArcGIS Online, we use that for all of our public facing stuff, and publish webmaps from our on-prem arcgis services through there.  In terms of ROI, I don't have alot of info on that, but I know that nutanix has been significantly easier for our network team to manage vs. vmware.  ...

Heath,  We switched our VM stack to Nutanix about two years ago now I believe. It's been a great system for us.  We have a multi-machine environment that makes up our ArcGIS Enterprise, and it all runs just fine on Nutanix.  We migrated everything from VMWARE.  I don't recall any specific hiccups related to the GIS architecture.   Our setup is probably closest to your Option 2 there, albeit with a few more servers ...

Not an answer to your question, but just making sure that you are aware if you are running a Windows environment, for 10.9.1, patching of portal and enterprise is at a bit of a standstill with an issue discovered with the patching process. https://support.esri.com/en-us/patches-updates/2023/defective-arcgis-enterprise-patch   ...

Just a shot in the dark, but it seems like you only mention checking GDBPROD.DBO.PE_Mets for the column PEW_ID. However, the errors are referring to two different feature datasets, the first being GDBPROD.DBO.PE_Meters. Have you tried checking versions of the PE_Meters datasets for that column name as well? ... View more

Is this in ArcMap you are trying to do the editing from?  since your GDB is not versioned, I'm wondering if you have the "Edit Versioned Database" option checked in your editing options by accident?   ... View more

I just used the standard Python 3.10 install package from python.org.  Its the full install, just used all of the defaults, and then pointed the script to the python.exe as mentioned in the docs.  https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3101/ I uninstalled it from our Data Store servers after I was done.  ...

Ran these scripts against our 10.6 Portal, Data Stores, and Server installs today, and the process went smoothly.  I had to install python 3 on our Datastores, but it was a very easy process to follow.  I uninstalled python on those machines after it was finished. Just wanted to say thank you to the ESRI team for the fix,  documentation, and transparency.   ... View more
