The answer to this need used to be ArcGIS Engine, but that product was never migrated to ArcGIS Pro runtimes, and now Esri is retiring it this March.   ... View more

@AliTalaat22 , wildcard behavior is fairly standard across programming/scripting languages and commands.  Is there specific wildcard behavior that you are finding unexpected?  If so, can you provide an example? ... View more

Unfortunately, I can't re-link to the public defect listing because Esri appears to have yanked it from being publicly available.  I have never had that happen before, where a defect is logged and made public and then Esri removes it from public view.  Here is the defect and description: BUG-000181467: When running the updateFederatedServerUrl operation after changing the server Web Adaptor name, all feature services become inaccessible and are not updated. ...

Not sure if the following is related, but our organization just logged the following defect a couple weeks ago: BUG-000181467 for Portal for ArcGIS ... View more

I have a hard time believing the data source itself is a factor, at least the difference between different types of geodatabases, but it is definitely worth looking into some more.  If I can find some time I will run some additional tests. Regarding one of my earlier questions, what is the full REST call?  Is f=json&token=Foo really the full URL that is causing changing ETAGs?  ... View more

Does your understanding come from documentation, experience, or somewhere else?  If documentation, please share links to specific Esri documentation to back up the information.  If experience, how much have you tested this specific situation?  A quick 5-min check on a couple of the multi-machine ArcGIS Server sites I manage, so the opposite behavior you describe as expected.  If you can share a reproducible test others can try to generate the results you expect, I would be interested.   ...

A quick check on a couple of the multi-machine ArcGIS Server sites that I manage show the same ETAG being generated from different machines in the same site when the same REST API calls are made to the different machines.  Without knowing more about the specific REST API calls being made (is f=json&token=Foo really the complete URL?), I can't offer any additional comments. ...

The way you worded your question, it makes me believe you are not using ArcGIS Web Adaptors, is that correct?   ... View more

In this case, i.e., trying to NULL a shape file field that doesn't know/support NULL, the DA update cursor will generate a RuntimeError instead of populating the field with "None": Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 4, in <module> RuntimeError: The field is not nullable.

I am glad you got a solution.  Since you are using a mobile geodatabase, I was going to suggest a more complex definition query, and it seems you went down that route on your own.  I will note that the code as shared here does not guarantee a single record for each GpsNumber (I am assuming each GpsNumber represents a different collar/animal), i.e., there may be edge cases where multiple GPSTime records exist in the layer for a single GpsNumber. ...

To quote myself from an earlier response: @JoshuaBixby wrote:   It helps to: Provide your data schema (field names, data types, etc...), or at least the relevant parts Even better, provide sample data.  If sharing data itself isn't possible, create an example dataset that can be shared. Share code snippets of what has been tried so far Share expected result and what results you are currently getting. Item #3 could be replaced with an explanation of a workflow instead of code snippets.  For example, how exactly are you interacting with the data?  You state: I have a dataset with 100,000 records, each one taken about every 15 minutes. I only need one per day for most cases. I'd like to make a view to grab just one record per day. Most cases?  What exactly does that mean, and what are the cases you wouldn't need just 1 record per day?   And what are you doing with a collection of 1 record per day?  Are you interacting with it in Pro for data exploration, are you making a static/hardcopy map, are you publishing it as a GIS service to make an interactive web map, etc....? Sharing what the requirements are will help people determine if there is a completely different approach entirely than focusing on how to manage date fields and objectids in a table view. ...

@HannesZiegler , great news, thanks for sharing and for getting the functionality fixed/updated. ... View more

For parameters names that are the same, e.g., mergePolicy and merge_policy, I understand how the difference comes about since Python's best practice for naming variables uses snake case while camel case is the convention with some other languages like C, C++, etc...  Where things get dicey for me is when the name itself is different, e.g., description and domain_description.  Even if one converts snake case domain_description to camel case domainDescription, they aren't the same name although they refer to the same item.  At least if the names were exactly the same and it was just a snake case versus camel case issue, it would be more straightforward to translate. Unfortunately, the discrepancy with handling parameter names propagates down into the accepted literals, which exacerbates the situation.   ... View more

Unfortunately, Python doesn't support parameter name aliases like some other languages because that would allow for a fairly straightforward way to address it. ... View more
