The current functionality: REST services directory is either on (publicly available) or off (disabled) in an ArcGIS Enterprise setup with federated ArcGIS Servers. The problem: We are in an organization where we have to disable access to any resources that do not require authentication.  This means shutting off the REST services directory(ies) in an ArcGIS Enterprise.  However we have developers and data scientists who would benefit from access to this directory. The solution: place the REST services directory(ies) that are part of an Enterprise behind the same authentication regime set in the Portal. If this is already possible to configure, please let me know - as I am operating under the assumption that this is not currently possible. ... View more

I'm a newbie to the Portal API for Python, and I am just trying to figure out how to go from geojson loaded into memory (say, a WFS response object) to a feature layer on an ArcGIS Enterprise portal.  I'm happy to read documentation and follow examples, but everything I've seen involves messing around with CSVs and pandas (which then requires cleaning up field headings etc). Additionally all the questions seem to presuppose you have a geojson file sitting around, but what about when you want to avoid the IO overhead?  Seems silly to write the content out to a file, only to read it right back in again. Is there a more-or-less direct path to go from the data in the buffer, in json format, right to a new feature layer? ... View more

I have a custom geoprocessing tool that currently takes raster layers (DSMs and DTMs).  However, to scale it up and reduce the need for end-user research, I built large raster mosaics of the input data needed by users.  Then I published those as Map Services on ArcGIS Enterprise.  So far good to go.   However, nothing I've tried will allow my tool to set those loaded service layers as inputs to my tool.  Just for clarity, in the picture below I need to pull in the content annotated by the red rectangles.   For Parameter types, I've got: ['GPRasterLayer', 'GPRasterDataLayer', 'GPMapServerLayer', 'GPMosaicLayer']   but none of them will see the map service layer I'm trying to bring in.  How do I access this content as a parameter type? ...

Dear Esri, I would like to see the ability added to ArcGIS Pro to share out a geoprocessing tool without the hassle of running it and then publishing it from the geoprocessing history. When you share out the tool from GP history, it uploads all the data used for that particular run.  I believe this is a bad way to do things because first, you could have non-constant data that is very large.  For example, I tried sharing out a short tool to my Enterprise portal, but the data I ran the tool against was a mosaic on the large side (10s of GBs).  I do not need to publish the mosaic. I only want to share the tool. I do not think the answer "just run it against something smaller" is correct.  That actually highlights a flaw in the way this workflow is designed.  Ultimately we need something like this image:   Let me just share the tool. This would be much cleaner.  Unnecessary default values are left blank, and it is up to the analyst/dev to link to any constants (flat files, db's, service endpoints) in creating the tool.  There is no need to run the tool, generate a history record, and then publish from the record which feels very cumbersome. If the history record workflow cannot be changed, please at least offer users an option for which data NEEDS to be uploaded with the tool - all, some, or none.  This wouldn't be perfect but would be a big improvement. ...
