I'm evaluating Insights 2.1 on Portal 10.5.1. I am attempting to access spatial data from Lat, Long columns in a table drawn from a SQL Server table view. The source data has approximately 242,000 records (parcel centroids for a local county government). I can load the table without issue into Insights, but if I attempt to enable a location (using the Lat, Long coordinates) I get a message that says "Something went wrong". No more details. This seems to be a problem with the SIZE of the table to process. I CAN enable location on an subset of the source data using a SQL "select top 10000" table view.  I just want to confirm that this IS a limitation with the number of location features? Is there a work around? I have also added a HOSTED feature service layer and this is able to display successfully, but I cannot link the Hosted feature services to SQL Server business tables.  Is there a better approach to getting large number of geospatially enabled features into Insights, and get them linked up with SQL Server business tables? ...

Using ArcGIS Pro 1.3.1, I can apply an LYRX file with symbology (natural breaks classfication with 5 classes and out of range class) using the ArcGIS Pro interface and with arcpy (Apply Symbology From Layer).  However the "Exclusion Clause" that you can set in the "Advanced" section of the Symbology dialog is not applied to the target layer when the LYRX is applied.  I can see the Exclusion clause in the LYRX file (in a text editor as seemingly valid JSON), but I cannot get the Exclusion clause applied through this method.  I CAN get the exclusion clause applied in a completely interactive manner through the Symbology interface, but not via the Apply Symbology From Layer tool. My goal is to render a natural breaks legend on one column, while excluding values equal to zero in a second column. And to do this all programmatically via arcpy python tools, so that an output feature class is automatically rendered on the map as desired. I want to avoid needing to reference a normal layer specific definition query (through arcpy or interactively) and instead have the "definition query" embedded in a template symbology LYRX file as an "exclusion clause". snippet from the JSON LYRX file: "exclusionClause" : "Tracts_PopWeightedCenterPoints_SUM_CORRECT_POP = 0", "exclusionLabel" : "Excluded - zero population", "exclusionSymbol" : {...some symbol content here... } Is this something that is just not there in ArcGIS Pro 1.3.1 yet, am I doing something wrong, or is there a work-around? Thanks for your help! ... View more

Using a python script tool in ArcGIS Pro 1.3.  I am not able to save the edits I make to the "Validation" script editor (in the default built-in editor window).  I have also tried to use an external script editor (PyCharm) and the editor opens the file, but I am unable to save my changes so that they show up in ArcGIS Pro.  The editor opens a file in a location like this: C:\Users\amurdoch\AppData\Local\Temp\ArcGISPro1944 I was earlier able to make changes, but something changed (perhaps when I set up an external script editor?) and now I cannot edit validation python code. I've tried closing and restarting ArcGIS Pro, and removing the external script editor link in geoprocessing options, but without positive effect. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong and what a potential work-around would be? ... View more

I've been receiving disturbing warning messages in the Chrome dev tools console window while working on a WAB dev edition version 1.2 application.  I think I'd seen (and ignored) the messages earlier, but I believe the warning about features that "will be removed" in April 2016 is a recent addition to the warning message. Here is the first message: The XMLHttpRequest progress event property 'position' is deprecated and will be removed in M50, around April 2016. Please use 'loaded' instead. See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5044837464145920 for more details. and the second message: 'KeyboardEvent.keyLocation' is deprecated and will be removed in M50, around April 2016. Please use 'KeyboardEvent.location' instead. See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/4997403308457984 for more details. Both messages show up referring to "dojo.js" lines. Am I right to to be very afraid of these warnings?  Will applications built on Dojo and Esri (WAB 1.2 / JSAPI 3.14) cease to work with Chrome browsers when the version 50 update occurs (latest version of Chrome is currently 49.0.2623.110 m)?  What are my options to prevent that from happening? Does the latest version of the JSAPI (version 3.16) resolve this issue? It seems from some poking around that these are core Dojo issues:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27175603/the-xmlhttprequest-progress-event-property-position-is-deprecated-please-use Any insights into this situation are greatly appreciated!
