Charts: Let us use Arcade on Enterprise GDB feature classes

AlfredBaldenweck

Ver 3.1.3

I was setting up to do a demo on charts and was really confused because I distinctly remember using Arcade the last time I used a chart, and I couldn't find the option this time.

And then it hit me: This data is a Query Layer. So I pull in the plain table to check. Same thing, I can't find it. So I export to SHP and Bingo, the Arcade button is back. See below:

File GDB: Arcade

SHP: Arcade

Enterprise GDB: No Arcade???

 

Please add in this functionality, if it isn't already in a future release.

Hi @AlfredBaldenweck ,

In Pro 3.0 we introduced server-side processing for certain charts when the data comes from an enterprise database. This is described in the following documentation page:

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/geoprocessing/charts/enterprise-database-and-cloud-data-warehouse-support.htm

Charts using these performance optimizations are subject to the limitations listed at the bottom page. Unfortunately, one limitation that was not listed but still applies is that Arcade expressions are not supported when using the optimizations. The documentation will be updated to address this omission. 

In Pro 3.0 and 3.1, server-side processing is applied automatically to the relevant charts, so Arcade expressions are unavailable by default when data comes from an enterprise database. When using these versions, if you wish to turn off the optimizations (and therefore bypass the limitations), you can do so by setting a registry key, which is described in the following Knowledge Base article:

https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/bypass-limitations-for-charts-in-pro-3-0-000027747

Starting in Pro 3.2, server-side processing is turned off by default, so the limitations should not be applied. We also introduced a toggle in the Chart Properties pane to facilitate turning this setting on/off:

 

Please let me know if you still have questions.

Thanks,

Chris
