Hello Pro users, I am re-organising 150GB of ArcGIS compatible file based data with ArcGIS PRO and ArcCatalog 10.8 (indispensable). I set up indexing for each data type using the ArcGIS PRO indexing and include options for creating thumbnails set to "once". None of my projects ever show that thumbnails generation has started. PRO has been my staple product for 4+ years but it is yet to create a thumbnail for data for me. Currently I am restricted to using a tool I have written in C# to batch create thumbnails in ArcCatalog. Indexing datasets in pro is pointless where duplication exists and one cannot see a thumbnail. Four images attached. One showing the thumbnail embedded in ArcCatalog Metadata, same showing in ArcGIS Pro Catalog view metadata, ArcCatalog thumbnails and the ArcGIS Pro index results not showing the thumbnails. I can see the thumbnails in popups but not in the raw search results.. surely I am not expected to run my cursor over 100's of results to see what they are. Thanks in advance Neil

Sorry it's taken years to reply to this but I am just getting back to WOFE after a break. I was involved in WOFE with ArcVIEW in the mid 1990's and then with ArcMAP in the early 2000's. To understand WOFE read Graeme Bonham-Carters' book "GIS for Geoscientists". The code examples are very easy to follow. Also Graeme's early papers. For other easy to understand papers look for papers by Gary L. Raines. For more recent work than Gary's look for papers by Vesa Nykanen from Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). Vesa has done a lot of this sort of work and worked with Gary Raines. Search for Mark Mihalasky and WOFE to find some other papers e.g. WOFE modelling sediment hosted gold deposits. Mark's PhD is a good read for the basics of WOFE. GTK has released code for WOFE for ArcGIS PRO. See https://github.com/gtkfi/ArcSDM Older "versions" of the Spatial Data Modeller for ArcGIS 10 can be found at https://www.ige.unicamp.br/sdm/ The logic for WOFE is very robust and it is relatively easy to program. What is difficult is manipulating the and finding appropriate data sets and understanding the contrast curves etc.

ps.. where is the script to identify duplicated data??? There is no way I am going to iterate through feature compare to 10,000 shapefiles because the comparisons are exponential.
I have used C# to generate checksums for the shapefile components as a group so that I can identify duplicated data.
The GIS world I see is not what the ESRI developers are testing on.

I have been using ESRI products for 30 years and have been a GIS Consultant for 16 years. I cannot work with ArcGIS PRO unless I also have ArcCatalog 10.8 open on another screen. All of my clients are told to make sure they have ArcMAP installed as they CANNOT be serious about managing GIS data with PRO alone. None of my clients (which includes large organisation) use ArcGIS Server and day to day work is still File based. ArcGIS PRO is the way ahead and I do all map creation in it but as for data reviews and management.. forget it. Desktop 10.8, Python and C# is my only solution. C# and arcobjects are used to create thumbnails en masse (where is the tool for that), Python to bulk edit metadata fields based on data set name components and Desktop 10 is absolutely vital to assess where data sits when it does not have a project assigned to it.

I have been trying to join two file geodatabase tables in ArcGIS PRO 2.9.1 and getting an error "ERROR 160333 The table was not found" despite the tool running from within the APRX and the tables are clearly seen. The solution to this problem was to run the arcpy.management.AddJoin() tool from within the python window after setting arcpy.env.workspace to the geodatabase containing the tables.

I am automating map iteration over 40 fields in a table and are refreshing the map by setting the reference scale each iteration e.g. map.referenceScale = 80000 This refreshes the map and legend in particular and the pdf contains the updated result.

Anyone serious GIS Professional who "believes" in the data fed to them without checking it is a fool. If critical decisions are being made with spatially located data then you have to be *certain* that the data is located correctly. Removing the projection of the data is the first step in checking for this. Once I have a data set that I know is *correct* and proven to be so then other data sets are compared to this with projection set to unknown. I have been using Python for nearly 20 years with Arc and it has no value in solving this problem. Arcmap -> clear projection on data frame -> clear projection on data -> compare with swipe if using raster.

I have the same problem using Pro 2.7.0 and have never managed any success with the indexing in previous versions. This is pathetic ESRI. I suppose we are all supposed to buy ArcGIS Server. The best search tool was in the old version of Arc where you could right-click on a directory in Catalog and find data under that. Neil

I had the same problem in PRO 2.5.2. Creating a query layer worked despite it looking at the same data via the query. My OID is autogenerated unique numeric value. If you go to the properties of the data layer it appears that ArcGIS Pro by default is choosing the first non-nullable text field as the unique identifier. As my OID is autogenerated it ignores this until I go to properties and edit query layer and chose "OID". OID is created in SQL using ROW_NUMBER() OVER( order by blah blah blah) +1000000 What a terrible assumption for the programmers to make. OID is my first field in the table and is unique. Why not this? I make sure that the coordinate fields used to create the spatial view are not null and that there are no spaces in the field names. Geometry is created using GEOMETRY::Point Seems that query layer with this version is the only way to go.

After 28 years of using ESRI software this sort of thing is enough to make me give up. The old Raster catalogs with .dbf base were so easy and so fast. I can't believe that this sort of code object cannot be taken forward.. I bet QGIS will deal with them.. I had to use QGIS the other day to convert a large contour dataset to dxf for a consultant because ArcGIS 10.6 and 10.8 couldn't cope and crashed.

I use arcpy_metadata to bulk update ISO 19139 format metadata for ArcGIS 10.4-10.7 It works well for the basic fields that you may need in a company. You cannot update every metadata entry with it currently. My files tend to follow a naming convention where underscores separate the name components e.g. topo_NSW_Lidar_2015_AreaA_05m_DEM.img so my code separates the name into keyword tags. It's very easy to update just one or two of the fields where they are all the same info e.g. the place keywords or the processing keywords. I generate a file of Descriptions and supplemental information in Excel and read through that to update individual files where they need something different from the en masse processing It's unbelievable that ESRI have not built in the ability to work with metadata in Python as metadata is the greatest chore in GIS management. I personally wouldn't waste my time on etree as arcpy_metadata has already dealt with most of the issues. Neil

Raster catalogs are so sweet and fast. Just a minute or so to make a catalog in python for 178 aerial photos and to then visualise them in place. Tell me how I will do that in PRO without shelling out $A millions for a license for Standard.

I've seen it done in ArcCatalog in C# and have butchered the code to use myself to bulk create thumbnails but for file system and geodatabase data so haven't tried on SDE. The logic is that you iterate through the selected data sets and preview them capturing the thumbnail. The code activates the "Create Thumbnail" button for each of the data sets Definitely something that needs adding to the wish list as making thumbnails for all the data sets is so painful.. Neil

I was with Jimmy when we sorted this problem (I hope). Jimmy was connecting to the data by UNC paths and the servers had been changed to dfs servers and the path was too long. Connecting to the mapped network drive letter solved viewing the ECW in 10.4
