@SSWoodward can you please show the Export Features options for removing attribute rules? This does not seem to exist on my end. ArcGIS Pro 3.1. These options or environments are also NOT shown on the documentation page for Export Features tool. ... View more

@LISARAYBURGodot  Which fix worked for you? A few different things have been suggested so I am curious.  Also, are you using Dedicated, or Shared resource pooling? ... View more

I’m glad to hear these experiences. One of my coworkers has 3.2 Pro while the rest of us have 3.1 and the constant warnings about compatibility were not expected. We are definitely going to avoid any version mismatching in the future and will be enforcing 3.3 Pro across the board when we upgrade to 11.3.   I also have the SQL Server 2016 incompatibility issue with 11.3 but in my case I am going to migrate our SDE’s to Postgres instead of waiting on SQL Server upgrades (expected in 2 years 😔). ...

I'd like to pile on another request for absolute paths as a manual option for project data sources. My example is that I use network UNC paths for a shared network drive where we store a lot of GIS data and ArcGIS Pro project files. There are different windows file shares being served from that networked server for different reasons (e.g. one source is read-only for most users so they can't modify core data). I have use cases for using UNC paths sometimes, and mapped drives other times.   I have a project: \\networkedMachine\sharedFolder\ProjectFolder\Project.aprx   The project points to some data: \\networkedMachine\OtherSharedFolder\Data.gdb   If I open the .aprx from the network UNC path above, it's fine. But some users have \\networkedMachine\sharedFolder\ mapped as a drive (let's say G:\ drive) in Windows.  If someone were to open the .aprx from the G:\ drive like so: G:\ProjectFolder\Project.aprx The project will open, but the all the data paths are broken because ArcGIS Pro is trying to point data to G:\OtherSharedFolder\Data.gdb. This needs to retain the original UNC path (different file share path) as it was originally set in the project. If I'm not mistaken, Pro is basically was considering \\networkedMachine\ as a relative root folder of the project, and it is modifying paths relatively across the board within the project based on the root folder of the project .aprx being different when being opened from the mapped drive.   I'll also drop a line at the end here that ArcGIS Pro project file/content pathing behavior is unnecessarily opaque and simultaneously convoluted and hard to understand among the options of using "Save As", creating a new project from a Template, or copying an .aprx out of its home project folder alone and opening in a new folder. Specifically in regards to how Pro retains (or not) paths to original project default.gdb, default toolbox, if it creates a sub-folder for the project, etc. I don't see why we can have more explicit wizard-like options to control how we want ArcGIS Pro to treat project components when they are being copied, spawned from a template, etc. It's a big pain point trying to get my users migrated into Pro when our 'best practices' for ArcGIS Pro project data management sound like we're navigating a minefield just to spool out projects (and their associated data) in a deliberate, organized fashion. ...

I'd like to offer my unsolicited opinion that the ESRI Support app looks clean but in reality the functionality is absolutely trash... from my perspective. I'm feelin' spicy about it... I have no options for what notification types to get. I get 5 to 15 notifications a day and very rarely is it relevant to me.  I have no options for search or filter. Most importantly, the patch tab is only showing a handful of recently release patches, most of which have no relevance to me or my Enterprise build, and it's not even showing that there was a security patch from a few months ago (which I missed until this week because... guess what... you all have effectively have no security patch notification system).  I hope I am wrong and embarrassed by someone correcting me, but this feels like you all are ignoring very serious concerns about getting security updates as fast as possible in this day and age.   Please do not suggest that we automatically patch servers with no monitoring. However, if you can explain the command line tools available with patchnotification to 'flag' that an update is available so that I can write myself a little script to send myself an email -- without automatically installing a patch -- that would be useful.  ...

Update: I got a response from an ESRI engineer: Microsoft’s mainstream support of SQL Server 2016 ended in July 2021, and extended support ends in July 2026. Because Enterprise 11.3 is supported well beyond that date, we could not offer support for SQL Server 2016 with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3. And a separate response from an ESRI support rep:  Please refer to the screenshot that I got from this link as attached below:-       Just to let you know, the 'older ArcGIS clients' referred to in the picture are pointing to all old versions of software configured with ArcGIS Enterprise. This includes the SQL Server version as well and is not limited to the DBMS version.   As stated in the picture, you still can perform a normal task within the ArcGIS Enterprise and Pro, and as stated in my previous email, the connectivity between your Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise to the SQL Server will not be affected.   However, if you open any datasets that need a compatible version of the SQL Server, then only you will observe an error message as stated in the screenshot. Aside from that, I don't think it will give an issue to your deployment. ... View more

I've had the issue of domains not being correctly updated/reflected in web maps when republishing after changes were made to a domain. The 'fix' if you can call it that on my end seems to be some combination of closing all other instances of ArcGIS Pro except for the project I'm publishing from; close all but the map in question within that project being used for publishing; recheck domain settings/values  save & close the project and restart it to make sure it's loaded fresh;  republish again maybe do this twice? It's pretty wonky sometimes. I'm not sure why it takes sometimes and not others.  Enterprise 11.1, SQL Server 2016 for SDE, ArcGIS Pro 3.1 ... View more

Does anyone know why SQL Server 2016 is no longer supported? They list the SQL Server 2017 supported driver being the same ODBC SQL Server 17 driver that we use for our SQL Server 2016 instance currently. I'm not going to pretend like I know much about what's happening behind the curtain regarding RDBMS programming and functionalities that would lead a version to be supported or not, but I'm very curious if there's a straightforward answer.  I think my org will not be willing to update our SQL Server version above 2016 for 1 to 2 years at least for various reasons, unless there is a fire under our butts for some other reason besides Enterprise 11.3. I may have to set up a Postgres instance on a new machine just for my Enterprise Geodatabases instead in order to move forward with 11.3. ... View more

David, I just want to say thanks for the pointer. That seemed to the same issue I was having. I republished my feature service using Unique Values symbology based on my subtype field, instead of using Single Symbology option. I even collapsed my various subtypes into one symbology 'group' so that there is just 1 symbology for all subtypes. That works fine; the web map displays the subtype description rather than the integer code and has the proper domain-like drop down functionality now as well. I needed this for my field guys to be able to change subtype, but they didn't need to actually see different subtype symbology.  I have federated ArcGIS Enterprise Portal + Server 10.8.1 and as of today using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0. ...

Tripp and others, just want to say thank you for the pointers about using UNC paths to avoid the Project Template to not copy data, that was driving me nuts.  This seems like it could be an easy fix by providing additional checkboxes to RE-Confirm that you want NO data copied no matter what, and you're OK with links being potentially broken for people with alternative drive mappings. I'm on version 2.9 btw ... View more

I would really like this feature. They could even roll out a simplified form initially and then improve it in later versions. Just a simple indication of how the current layout is expected to fit onto your current printer page settings. Also, can't find options for quality of the export when printing, in case you want to do a draft print? There were a bunch of simple but useful options with ArcMap. Once again I'm kind of scratching my head why simple functionality in ArcMap that literally everyone made use of wouldn't be included in Pro, especially since so much effort was put into modernizing/expanding the Layout workflow. I do like that they included options for tile overlap though, that's actually going to be really helpful... but in context it's pretty lackluster when those are literally the only print options available to you, and there's no in-menu description, guide, or tooltip to tell you what exactly it does or how to use it effectively. (I'm using 2.4) ... View more
