Hello, so I want to deploy my python add-in for any of the users to use, and I have my connection to a SDE feature class hardcoded in the script , which works fine. I got this connection from ArcCatalog.  C:\Users\jthomas\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcCatalog + featureClass Now if someone else installs the add-in, they'll have their own connection to the SDE feature class. How can I ensure other users will be able to reach this feature class, and the script won't break? ... View more

Hello. I've been trying for 3 days to get the query widget to do a simple spatial query (return points in a polygon), and can't for the life of me figure out why it's not working (Query Fail! error every time). We are using Portal 10.3 with web authentication. I am not an administrator, but do have a publisher role.  Both the point layer and the polygon layer are within my organizational services. I've tried small datasets against small datasets, copying the data to the server, merging the polygon into one shape...etc. I can't figure out why this is so difficult. Anybody have any ideas? ...

I'm wondering what's going on that when I add a feature class from our SDE instance, it comes in as a standalone table, rather than the feature class that it is. It works properly in ArcGIS Desktop, but I have this issue in ArcGIS Pro. ... View more

Hello, I was wondering if somebody might be able to shed some light on what I'm doing wrong here. I have a file geodatabase with some tables in it. I want the script to iterate through each of the tables, look in one specific field ("PHOTO1"), and then look at the existing URL path that is there in the field, and do a replace on the string. Where it sees "\Photo\", it will change it to "_Patrol\Photo\". It seems like what I have should work, yet I get an error that says "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable". Any ideas? import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\Users\jp8439\Desktop\temp.gdb" tableList = arcpy.ListTables()                                        #list the tables in the geodatabase for table in tableList:                                                    #iterate the tables     cursor = arcpy.UpdateCursor(table)                             #place update cursor in the first table     for row in cursor:                  str = row.getValue("PHOTO1")                                  #get string value in PHOTO1 field         rep = str.replace("\\Photos\\", "_Patrol\\Photos\\")       #variable to replace "photos" with "_patrol\photos"         row.setValue("PHOTO1", rep)                                   # do the replace         cursor.updateRow(row) del cursor, row ...
