Wanted to add our experience with this issue as well. We have been working with Professional Services to try to address this orphaned table issue at 11.4 on Windows Server 2022. Running maintaindatastore.bat has not been useful in cleaning up these orphaned tables. We have been able to consistently create orphaned tables by turning off the data store service and deleting a feature service. The turning off of the data store service does not stop the service from being deleted, even though the table remains in the data store. Additionally, we have seen that edit capable feature services and feature services with multiple sublayers have a higher probability of becoming orphaned.

Hey Sameer, You are correct that the Professional Plus user type includes the 3D Analyst extension. The problem I was facing was that I had an account that had both the Professional Plus user type as well as a separate 3D analyst add-on extension assigned to them, meaning they were double licensed for the 3D Analyst license. I was unable to remove the 3D analyst add-on license from this Professional Plus account until I downgraded them to just a Professional account. We were looking to remove this 3D Analyst add-on so other users could use it, since the original account was already licensed through the Professional Plus user type. Hope this makes sense!

Hey Sameer, In my case, the licenses were unable to be removed if the current user type was not compatible with the license (Such as a Professional Plus user type having a 3D analyst extension assigned, or a Mobile Worker user type having the Location Sharing add on). By updating the user's user type to one that is compatible with the license, I was able to remove said license (downgrading the Professional Plus user type from the previous example to a creator, for instance). Even though I was able to get this workaround to work, I found just removing all of the licenses and re-adding the ones I wanted to keep on the account to be a little easier.

Photos taken within the Field Maps interface are stored directly in the mobile geodatabase as a part of Field Maps. In the situation where synced data is not fully transferred to the server (for any reason) and the offline area is deleted, users run the risk of accidently deleting photos or other attachments taken in Field Maps. Most of my users do not initially realize that these photos are not saved in the photo library. At either the Application level or the Map level, it would be nice to have a setting that also saves these photos to the photo library on the device as one additional level of redundancy without needing users to jump between Field Maps and the Camera app.

Adding on to note that I have experienced this kind of bug when attempting to set a field on a layer with 0 features. Seems to error out on both extremes (too many records, or too few).

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to include any conditional formatting within a table as part of a report template. I am looking to color code the background of a cell based on the answer of a select_one question that is a part of a repeat. Example of what I am hoping the output report would look like: Where each row in this table would be the answers from 1 repeat record in a form.

Hello! I was curious if it was possible to add a "Mask" to images that are layers in a web map. In ArcGIS Pro, this is an option in the symbology of an image layer. I have been unable to find a similar property in the web map. Ultimately, I am looking for a way to stop the black space in the below screenshot from rendering within a web map.

Hello, I am attempting to upgrade ArcGIS Notebook Server from 11.3 to 11.4. Running on Windows Server 2022. I am having some issues with uninstalling the notebook server samples data. From the upgrade page, it notes to uninstall the samples, but does not provide a method to do so (Upgrade ArcGIS Notebook Server (Windows containers)—ArcGIS Notebook Server | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise). From what I have been able to find, the only way to do this uninstall is through the arcgis-cookbook. Outlined on this page - arcgis-notebooks cookbook When trying to configure this cookbook by following the instructions on the get started page for the cookbook (Get Started), I downloaded the templates from this location: Release Release v5.1.0 · Esri/arcgis-cookbook · GitHub But the files here only contain templates for linux. Is this cookbook the only way to uninstall these samples, and if so, where can I get the windows version of the templates?

Hello, I am reviewing the below blog post about the deprecation of the Tile Cache data store: ArcGIS Enterprise: Migrate to the object store And was curious about some specifics related to migrating from tile cache to object data store. Ideally, I would like to replace my tile cache data store with an object data store, without needing to create a new VM or new installation of ArcGIS Data Store. Is there an issue with configuring my 11.4 tile cache data store as both a tile cache and object data store, and then migrating within the same installation of data store?

Hello, I am working on some scripts to assist with the assignment and removal of add on licenses for ArcGIS Pro. I am adding licenses like this: licenseManager = portal.admin.license.get("ArcGIS Pro") licenseManager.assign(username=submitter_username,entitlements=requestedLicense) the "requestedLicense" value would be something like - "spatialAnalystN" which relates to a Spatial Analyst extension for ArcGIS Pro. My problem is, I cannot do a similar revoke command to remove this license. I have to remove all licenses by doing the following: licenseManager.revoke(username=submitter_username,entitlements="*") Is there a reason that I am unable to put the same "spatialAnalystN" to revoke just this license? When doing this, I get the following error: Exception: All requested entitlements must be available to this org. (Error Code: 400)

Hello, I have configured Portal (11.3) to use ArcGIS Online utility services and have exposed this to our Portal users no problem. I was curious if it is possible to track which users are taking advantage of this capability, as the costs of the credits is something we would like to make sure gets attributed to the right groups who are benefiting from these services.

Hello, I was curious if it was possible to style a scene layer differently by face. I would like to color the top of a feature a different color than the sides. Is this possible without making the top a separate feature? The purpose of this would be 2-fold. It would make it easier to style by attribute to differentiate between sub-classes of a feature layer without completely changing the styling and would also make it easier to tell the top from the sides when viewing in 3D space.

Data store connections open and close very quickly, and the describedatastore only returns the current number of connections. You can have 150 1 second and 0 the next. Additionally, opening a map can open multiple connections, depending on the amount of data that is getting requested to satisfy that operation. 1 connection does not mean 1 user. Opening task manager on the data store machine is one way to better figure out where the CPU usage is coming from too.

The internal database keeps like 5 connections for internal processes, you can't get around these, but you can increase the max number of connections by using the changedbproperties command line tool on the data store machine. Documentation for this can be found here: ArcGIS Data Store utility reference—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise The more connections you have, the more resources your data store will pull, so you will need to probably figure out why your CPU is maxed out (and maybe check RAM too) before making this update.

GNSS metadata reporting for geopoint question types is very built out, with the ability to access accuracy information, as well as location provider information. The list of metadata options available for geoshape and geotrace question types is much more limited, only offering area and distance metrics. It would be useful to be able to pull summary metrics about the average accuracy of a line/polygon, as well as be able to access per vertex metadata in line with the geopoint question type.
