Looks like this is addressed in the latest Portal patch https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/administrators-and-those-with-the-necessary-administrat-bug-000178457

Hi folks, I noticed I'm unable to change ownership of items (Map Image and Feature Layers) that were bulk published. I'm trying to change ownership from one admin to another admin (both with the admin role). Getting a generic error: Unable to change owner IIRC, we could re-assign ownership of individual items (map image and feature layers) in 11.3. Our environment was recently upgraded to 11.5 where I'm now seeing a different behavior. Anyone able to replicate or can test in an 11.3 environment?

I'm trying to upgrade our 11.1 Enterprise to 11.3 using PowerShell DSC. Multi machine deployment (Portal, ArcGIS Server, Relational Data Store, Spatiotemporal Data Store, Web Adaptor host). All hosts have the ArcGIS 4.4.0 PowerShell module. This week I deployed 11.1 using DSC with no issues, now trying to upgrade this test environment before moving to production. DSC is failing on the portal upgrade: Trace-DSCJob : 11/23/2024 9:08:20 AM: The SendConfigurationApply function did not succeed. At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ArcGIS\4.4.0\ArcGIS.psm1:263 char:5 + Trace-DSCJob -Job $Job -JobName $ConfigurationName -DebugMode $De ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Trace-DSCJob Logs Directory: C:\Users\svc_arcgis\Logs Finished DSC Job:- PortalUpgrade.

This is an Active Directory domain account and is used as the service account for our 11.1 deployment. I've confirmed with our IT that the account is not locked out/disabled and the password we have is correct. Has anyone encountered this error when upgrading Enterprise with DSC?

Facing a similar issue as well. Trying to copy symbology from a manually published feature service to bulk published feature service. Both are reading from the same egdb feature class. Getting a 500 error that servicename.FeatureServer does not exist in folder.

Ihab - I had this same question recently. Can we retrofit/upgrade a manually launched Enterprise environment with DSC? Untested hypothesis but depending on the complexity of the current architecture, there's a good chance you'll run into errors/conflicts. The direction I took was to take vm snapshots and a webgisdr full backup, uninstall Enterprise (remove any remnants/arcgis folders), re-deploy the Enterprise with DSC (ensure the architecture/configurations match what was previously in place), then run a webgisdr restore/import. This seemed like the cleanest approach and in my case, everything worked as expected. For some context we have a multi machine deployment, multi machine arcgis server site, mission server, geoevent server, and a host for web adaptors.

We're running into this too on version 1.14. What version of node are you using? Using 18.x fails immediately, trying to reach http://registry.npmjs.org/react. Using 16.x runs with warnings but eventually errors trying to reach the internet. Has anyone got this working?

Hi all, we're looking to publish a SMP locator to ArcGIS Enterprise. I'm a bit confused by the SMP doc; it mentions a SMP Extension for ArcGIS Server. The ArcGIS Server doc doesn't mention a SMP extension. Is there in fact a SMP Extension for ArcGIS Server? If yes, I don't see it in MyEsri and can work with our account team to purchase.

Start with a clean slate: delete any favorites you have for this database connection. Next, rather than adding a connection to your favorites, add a new database connection from catalog view > right click databases > new database connection. Once the connection is established and working as expected, you can right click > add to favorites.

Have a look at these, it's do-able. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/add-a-point-line-and-polygon/ https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/part2-working-with-geometries/

That is very odd. Can you try this from a blank ArcGIS Pro project, does it let you create a new admin connection? Are you connecting using the FQDN or friendly URL (if you have Web Adaptors or a Load Balancer)

‎04-03-2024

Can you try with an admin connection instead of publisher? If it's still greyed out that would omit permissions as the culprit.

Just an idea: you can set up a service webhook in ArcGIS Enterprise to send a payload to Make when your referenced service is edited. In Make you need to parse the JSON payload to extract the information you need and send in an email.

You sure can: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/sharing/overview/publish-an-image-service.htm You'll need to create an publisher/admin connection to your stand alone arcgis server > right click the connection > publish image service

Hey Tim, thanks for the response. I did confirm Image ID matches and used the same container download from your screenshot (those are infact linux container images). I ended up resolving the issue by going to Notebook Server Admin > System > Properties and setting the useWindowsContainers property to false. I then went to Notebook > Runtimes and restored the factory runtimes. We're running Windows Server 2022 and these additional steps are required. This is mentioned in the doc but oddly enough, only on the welcome page: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/notebook/11.1/install/windows/welcome-to-the-arcgis-notebook-server-install-guide.htm

Running ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 on Windows, Notebook Server is using Linux containers and a standard license. I have ran through all the pre-reqs - docker desktop w/ linux contains and hyper-v, downloaded linux images from MyEsri, and installed using the postinstallutiltiy.bat which succeeded. Running docker image ls on my notebook server returns the following: When attempting to open any notebook I get this error. When I try to validate the standard runtime through notebook/admin, runtimeexists is false. { "machines": [{ "machine": "[REDACTED]", "notebookRuntimes": [ { "notebookRuntimeName": "ArcGIS Notebook Python 3 Standard", "runtimeExists": "false", "notebookRuntimeVersion": "8.0" }, { "notebookRuntimeName": "ArcGIS Notebook Python 3 Advanced", "runtimeExists": "false", "notebookRuntimeVersion": "8.0" } ] }], "status": "success" } Any ideas or other steps I need to take to have notebook server validate the standard runtime?
