Is done, I have been voting ideas since they were invented on the 'ol geonet. For now I have written some quick "IS NOT NULL" layer definition queries and using the Pro toggle option.  It's "good enough" but annoying to have to set for each project and layer.  For ArcMap users you have to use the old "1=1 OR <query>" def'n query hack to toggle on each layer. ...

I just ran into this while working with a client's priority job.  I did not enjoy having to scroll through 11 thousand null records after sorting 'descending value' to verify the record. Yes I know why it is why it is like this, yes I use SQL, and yes I know of the workarounds suggested, but common sense says any value is greater than null, surely?  Nulls last for me, always, or at least give us an option to manage this as per SQL. And no, I do not want to restrict my data, I will need those null values for other queries. ... View more

Sorry @ErikLash4 for not getting back to you for so long - I only just got back to this job.  Thank heaps for your fix! I confirm that this works at writing with ArcGIS Pro 3.2.0, R-ArcGIS  4.2.1, arcgisbinding package 1.01.306 (current) on Oracle 19.15 sde 10.8.1. PDF option works well.  I wouldn't use dataframe features.  Window render works fine, but includes no detail and is not interactive. Sample version tree output ... View more

Good idea.  I was going to suggest ST_GEOMETRY SQL functions (which is what we use) but I see you've already gone down that road.   ... View more

Readers, please note the download link provided here is 404 at writing.  The latest version appears to be "PerfTools (Build 258) for ArcGIS Pro 2.x and 3.x is now available for download"  as at 2022-06-23. For future perftool updates: IanSims personal OneDrive and IanSims blog. Using Pro 3.1.3, yes "ZoomToBookmarks all" seems to jump to the first bookmark then choke.  'Roaming' feature works okay. Metrics View, Render View and Log View are only ones I use for performance testing and these all work fine. Thanks again to @IanSims for continuing to support this valuable project! ... View more

  Just noting I had a similar experience with "webgisdr -e -f webgisdr.properties" on a single-node test ArcGIS Server I am trying to back up. I got  Failed to back up the ArcGIS Server: Url: https://HOSTPATH/server. {"code":500,"messages":["Export operation failed. Failed to create the folder 'D:\\temp\\WebGISSite1698973979711\\server\\eth72rdfmyeiyefc'."],"status":"error"} to a local backup on the same machine (and also SHARED_LOCATION=D:\\temp)  same drive as final backup, as it does not appear to be using the credentials of the user executing webgisdr.  When I opened security on this folder it was fine. The following ArcGIS Server has been backed up successfully: Url: https://HOSTPATH/server. The backup of ArcGIS Server has completed in 00hr:00min:43sec. ... View more

Some time later... no change at 2.9.5/3.1.1 I thought feature equivalence with ArcGIS Desktop was the goal?  There is still no "Disconnect" option in Pro as Desktop has. ... View more

Thanks Kory.  I confirm that updated (concurrent) LM is required at Pro 3.1 or you get this error: Error while configuring floating licence manager to an older version. ... View more

Thanks @KoryKramer for that, happy to upgrade to 3.1 as the most current version.  I was just confused, as we saw the 3.0.4 release were getting ready to look at it, then it disappeared.  The Pro release notes you link to discuss 3.1, and 3.0.4 is not available for download. Latest downloads for ArcGIS Pro           If you 'cheat' in the URL replacing ...3.0.3 with ...3.0.4 , there's nothing there: https://my.esri.com/classic/#/downloads/ArcGIS%20Pro/3.0.4  😎  We're at 2.9.5 (production) and considering migration to 3.1 as we'd like the fix for BUG-000149637 regarding workflow manager server.  Appreciate any advice you or support can give as to additional prerequisites as mentioned with licence manager and (possibly) Server 11.1. ...

Thanks.  What happened to the scheduled 3.0.4 release?   https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/release-notes.htm This page used to point at 3.0.3 (then current) but now points to 3.1.  I didn't go through the entire list but it appears that 3.1 rolls up all the issues from 3.0.4 and adds new fixes, right? ...

Thanks @KoryKramer for investigation and clarification of how it should work.  I did not know you could configure it as an admin add-in.  I confirm to you Kory we are doing it the former way as part of user configuration. Great comments all round.  Our ICT is not okay with us registry hacking (especially not for clients) so I don't think this will work for us.  We do deploy with the awesomely acronymed MSSCCM-AC (Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Application Catalog) so it possible that a .reg could be queued into an installation script.  Not sure if that has changed now Pro no longer uses .msi and just has an .exe.  This still has all the disadvantages @Anonymous User eloquently detailed.  In addition we have raised similar questions with ICT before and they said it was extremely difficult to know where to put the registry node/keys due to a mix of hardware and software (mobile/desktop/virtual, different OS', etc) requiring excess scripting and support on their end.  The documented registry edit looks stable to me though. ...

Sure, and we have.  It still doesn't address the issue of what happens if someone who does have permission does a whoopsie, or if the folder permissions are changed for some reason beyond our control (this has happened to us in the past).  We have also had users arbitrarily added to our domain group without our permission or consultation... To me the analogy is having two D's on your car gear select.  One is Drive and the other is Destroy.  As as long as you use the first, it's fine.  Choosing the second one instantly destroys the transmission without warning (perhaps as a security procedure to stop car theft).  Adding protective guards around accidentally using the other  D-gear seems counterproductive to... not having it at all.  Which is why it does not exist outside a Mad Max movie.  I just don't understand the design of this feature, especially when Pro is touted as an enterprise level tool for multiuser-GIS organisations. To further explain our position, we use addin customisations to deliver business-critical functionality and productivity tools to ~60 users, while the tools are available to the entire organisation (~1000 staff).  While the tools are currently protected as Bud suggested, the default behaviour of one person detonating the custom tools for everyone seems... unwise. ...

Pro should definitely show (greyed out) add-ins that are not compatible from shared folders, and that they are not being used.  This information can be provided to admins as required for further action. Being able to delete them (and so easily) should not be possible by the average user when the explicit function of the feature is, "...a convenient way for many people in a workplace to use the same add-ins."  I doubt very much that 'many people' would find it convenient to discover that their add-in had been quickly and invisibly removed by someone, making it unavailable to everyone. I further note that this is not the same behaviour ArcMap exhibits when it is loading add-ins from a shared folder. Managing file/folder permissions to get around this is an effective hack, but it's still a hack imho. ... View more
