I had a custom print service running in standalone ArcGIS Server 10.8.1.  The service was published from ArcGIS Pro, and used built-in credentials to allow printing secured feature services.  After upgrading the server to 10.9, this service stopped working.  Server logs show: Failed to create layer from service at: [REST Endpoint of map service] The built-in credentials have privileges on the secure services.  Printing web maps with public services works as expected. I have installed all patches for 10.9. I have a support ticket in with tech support and no solution yet, but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with custom print services and secured map services with AGS 10.9? ...

We have a workflow where a user needs to open an ArcGIS Pro project containing a custom task and save that project somewhere else on the network as a different file name.  We need the default geodatabase to be saved in this new location as well and have the new project link to that new default geodatabase.  Basically the original project is a template that the user needs to be able to manipulate for a specific property.  I believe there used to be a "Save as copy" function, but I don't think it is available anymore.  Can anyone suggest a workaround to do this? Using Save As just creates a new aprx file that uses the original default geodatabase.  I could copy the whole project folder in Windows explorer, but then the user has to go into the project and manually update the sources of all of the feature classes.  The users doing this will not be able to do that.

Can a python script in ArcMap be used to download the metadata.xml files for all items in my ArcGIS Online account into a local folder?  If anyone has done anything like this I'd really appreciate some help.  I can update the metadata.xml file using: def update_metadata(user, item, token, metadata): d = {"overwrite": "true", "token" :token, "f":"json"} f = {'metadata': ('metadata.xml', open(metadata, 'rb'), 'text/xml', {'Expires': '0'})} url = r'https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/{0}/items/{1}/update'.format(user, item) r = requests.post(url, data = d, files = f) response = json.loads(r.content) if 'error' in response.keys(): raise Exception(response['message'], response['details']) return response‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ thanks ...
