Portal to AGOL collaboration currently only works for items shared to public. We have multiple secure datasets that are to be shared with our AGOL organisation to secure clients and cannot do this at the moment. Our data is also constantly changing (1 minute refresh) so cannot do this with a data copy. The only way to achieve this is to give external clients logins to our AGOL and also our enterprise portals. This function already exists for AGOL-to-AGOL collaboration so why not Portal-to-AGOL? ...

There is a lot of support for multi-dimensional data in the desktop environment but when publishing to ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Image Server there is no ability to cache a multi-dimensional or time aware service. The WMTS standard does have a dimension component, which has been implemented in other software. My organisation (weather bureau) publishes forecast and observational data, vector and raster data types, to the public and gets billions of hits a year. Our radar service in our app delivers ~15 billion tiles per month. This amount of usage cannot be supported by a dynamic service, even using CRF. To support this requirement we are currently using a third party software that adds a lot of overhead to our it support and complexity to our development of services. The new ArcGIS Imagery for ArcGIS Online beta did seem to have some of this functionality as it prompted to add a tiled service from a multi-dimensional NetCDF or CRF. Even adding the ability to request an image service in tiled mode to enable the use of a CDN would be great. Example endpoint: https://server.domain/arcgis/rest/services/radar/time/z/x/y.png   ...

Hi,   We have secured services and have to make them available to non-esri js applications. Currently we generate a token for each session and send that with each request, which is easy to find in the network traffic and subsequently be used by others. Is there a way to have the application have authentication in such a way that the end user doesn't see any of the authentication? We are using ArcGIS Server federated with ArcGIS Portal.   Cheers, mark ... View more

When using Enterprise Sites or AGOL Hub a user can not preview or use the API explorer to view or help them construct an API call. Our users require OGC services but have difficulty finding services and get the impression that the WMS does not work when viewing from the Site as all they get is a blank base map compared to a nice preview of features when looking at the map image service. ...

When publishing from ArcGIS Pro it would be great to be able to select from a drop down or search ahead list of existing tags. This would achieve at least 4 benefits: The list of tags in the portal would not have typos or spelling errors Users would know what others and the portal admins are using as tags e.g. water vs hydrology. Users would not have to go into an item after publishing and update the details. Limits the list of tags and saves time for admins in clean-up of bad tags ... View more

Hi,   I have a multidimensional image service published from a mosaic dataset and also one published from CRF. When requesting a range of multiple times and changing the mosaic operator from mt_first to any of the others the same image is returned. I have tried this with a range of 30 time-steps and mt_sum looks exactly the same as mt_first. example requests https://xyzxyzxyzxyzxyz.com.au/arcgis/rest/services/dev_awra_historical/physical_day_mosaic_multivariable_all_data/ImageServer/exportImage?f=image&renderingRule=%7B%22rasterFunction%22%3A%22dd%22%7D&time=1547251200000%2C1597276800000&mosaicRule=%7B%22mosaicMethod%22%3A%22esriMosaicNone%22%2C%22ascending%22%3Afalse%2C%22mosaicOperation%22%3A%22MT_SUM%22%7D&bbox=10522572.706631279%2C-7037490.874982109%2C18633458.652025748%2C819012.6402793587&imageSR=102100&bboxSR=102100&size=829%2C803 https://xyzxyzxyzxyz.com.au/arcgis/rest/services/dev_awra_historical/physical_day_mosaic_multivariable_all_data/ImageServer/exportImage?f=image&renderingRule=%7B%22rasterFunction%22%3A%22dd%22%7D&time=1547251200000%2C1597276800000&mosaicRule=%7B%22mosaicMethod%22%3A%22esriMosaicNone%22%2C%22ascending%22%3Afalse%2C%22mosaicOperation%22%3A%22MT_FIRST%22%7D&bbox=10522572.706631279%2C-7037490.874982109%2C18633458.652025748%2C819012.6402793587&imageSR=102100&bboxSR=102100&size=829%2C803   ...

Hi, I am trying to work with designers and developers on mapping applications and I have noticed that the scales for each zoom level are different when using the AGOL/google/bing tiling scheme depending on if you are generating raster tiles or vector tiles.  This is causing havoc and mis-alignments between the geospatial team and the web developers where we get a spec saying roads are visible from zoom level 5 but depending on if the app is using vector vs raster tiles it is different. It is also effecting the combining of these layer types. The vector tile layer scales are zoomed in one extra level compared to when the same map is created with raster tiles. The table below gives a small example of what I am seeing. The attachment shows what I am seeing in the Pro. zoom level raster scale vector scale 9 1,154,142 577,071 10 577,071 288,535 Can anyone explain why the tiling schemes with the same name would be different? I have seen this on ArcGIS Pro 2.2-2.5 Mark ... View more
