I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.2 Last week, I set all the fields in one feature class in a map as Read Only in preparation for sharing it to the portal where I don't want any to edit the data.   Today, when I went to work on the map, I saw a data error that I wanted to correct. I made sure editing was turned on and clicked on the cell to edit.  Nothing happened.  I couldn't edit the cell directly.  Then I tried Calculate Field.  When the tool opened, the target field was not the one I was trying to edit.  I changed it to the field I wanted to edit, and proceeded to make and save the edit.  When I tried to edit another field, the same thing happened.  Not trusting this weirdly behaving layer, I started to investigate.  Then I remembered that I had set all fields to Read Only. I came across this behavior by accident, but now I am concerned.  I thought that Read Only protected a field from being edited (except if one manually went into Data Design and turned off Read Only).  Is Calculate Field supposed to be able to edit Read Only fields? ...

I have ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2.  We will be upgrading to 11.3 in a few months, but in the meantime I want to work with migrating my data into the asset package from the Water Utility Network Essentials.  Essentials is not available in 11.2 so I cannot deploy it via the Solutions app, which only shows me 11.2 compatible solutions.  I can deploy it from ArcGIS Online.  So my question is, can I deploy it from ArcGIS Online, get my data migrated into the asset package, and then, once we upgrade to Enterprise 11.3, create the utility network?  Or do I need to start with an asset package from an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment?  Is there a difference in the asset packages from ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise?   ...

I have an SQL 2016 geodatabase that has been registered to our Portal (10.9.1) on a Federated Server site for years.  Until now, we have not done editing through the portal using a feature service (I've been editing through Pro directly on Default).  It's now time to change that.  We will be moving to the utility network so I need to become familiar with branch versioning. In order to get this working for branch versioning, I had to add a new data store to the portal, although the default database was already registered to the portal.  Was this because when it was originally registered it was set to traditional? I created a branch versioned feature service with version management checked.  I then brought the feature service into ArcGIS Pro, created a named version and switched to that.  I could update and save attributes, but when I click on the map to create a new feature, the Create Feature tool pops up this error message: When I check the ArcGIS Server Manager logs, it shows: Decided to try editing in a web map from Portal.  I could update attributes in Default (I haven't figured out how to create a version for use in a web map, yet. One step at a time 🙂 ), but when I tried to  save a new feature, the following would pop up (no more helpful than those 99999 error codes): The Server Manager logs showed the following: Where does the problem lie?   Cheryl   ...

We have an enterprise SQL database and ArcGIS Server and Portal 10.9.1.  Up until now, we haven't worried about versioning because most of the time there has been a single editor meticulous about the quality of edits.  But things are changing, and we will be having other people edit through feature services.  Because their edits need to be vetted before they are committed to the database, I need to set up some form of versioning.  I am somewhat familiar with traditional versioning, having played around with it to learn what it was about.  However, I believe that Branched Versioning would be the preferred way to go in my scenario. I tried to register a dataset as Branch versioned, but immediately ran into problems because our editor tracking has been using database time, and it appears that Branch Versioning requires UTC.  Database time is preferable in our case because all of our work is done in one time zone, and it is what our workers would understand.  Is there a way around this UTC requirement, or is there some way to make it so that the users would see database time?  Or do I need to go back through all my datasets that would use branch versioning, disable editor tracking and convert their date fields to UTC so that timing is at least consistent withing the dataset? Thanks for any advice. Cheryl ... View more
