I am trying to publish a Feature Access service from our enterprise geodatabase to portal with the ability to take attachments.  I am publishing from ArcGIS Desktop to our service servers and then using this in our portal.  Arc flags an error when trying to publish this service with Sync enabled because the relationship is based on OBJECTID.  Basically I want to allow users to new points as well as the ability to add an attachment.  Any help? ...

Why is Pro lacking this?  If data schema is set up to not allow easy querying of data, how else am I supposed to limit what is displayed in the layout.  I used this function all the time in ArcMap. Generally, I am continually disappointed in the layout and generally how difficult ArcPro is when creating layouts and finished mapping products.  It seems that I spend a few hours getting things set up in Pro only to be let down by it missing something that I need or options are not readily available.  Options are divided in to options in the ribbon and in a panel.  I spend a lot of time digging through both to try to figure out where the options are the I am needing to adjust. In the end I wind up going back to ArcMap just because Pro is lacking or takes too long to use. ... View more

I installed the ArcGIS_Runtime_SDK_DotNet_1025.  I do not have the ESRI project templates in VS. What am I missing?  According to the Install Guide, everything should be contained in this SDK. I am running Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, newest .NET SDK, and Arc 10.2.2. ... View more

The problem is that we have more than one company logo.  Is there a way to make this user selectable?  Otherwise I will have to double or triple our predesigned templates. My ideal solution would be our main logo, right click and use a check box or drop down to select a different one if desired. I don't know if ArcMap already has some type of solution in place or whether I can do this with ArcObjects or Python. Thanks ... View more

I am working on a script that will walk a directory and change the source for a layer. This way when we move data I can just set this script to go update everyone's maps. In my own folder I can get it to run down to printing the layer source, I just can't get the replaceDataSource function to work. Any help? This is in 10.1 Also will I be able to replace a source to something that is loaded from a group or basemap layer? #import site-packages, modules and set enviroment import arcpy, os #initialize variables extList = ["mxd"] mappaths = [] targetDir = r"Z:\Working\MXDs" oldPath = r"Z:\Working\MXDs\Export_Output.shp" newPath = r"Z:\Working\Export_Output.shp" #Loop through each MXD in the folder and writes path to a list for root, dirs, files in os.walk(targetDir):     for filename in files:         splitFilename = filename.split(".")         if splitFilename[-1] in extList:             fullpath = os.path.join(root, filename)             mappaths.append(fullpath) #prints list for maps in mappaths:     print maps     mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(maps)     for layer in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):         if layer.supports("DATASOURCE"):             if layer.dataSource == oldPath:                 print "Layer: " + layer.name + "\n  Source: " + layer.dataSource ##                layer.replaceDataSource(newPath, "NONE") print "End Script" Results when running the code: >>> Z:\Working\MXDs\BrkLyr_Map_2.mxd Layer: Export_Output Source: \Working\MXDs\Export_Output.shp Traceback (most recent call last): File "Z:\Utilities\Python\Wes PYSCRIPTS\Tests\FindBrokenLayers_2for.py", line 41, in <module> layer.replaceDataSource(newPath, "NONE") File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 181, in fn_ return fn(*args, **kw) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\_mapping.py", line 680, in replaceDataSource return convertArcObjectToPythonObject(self._arc_object.replaceDataSource(*gp_fixargs((workspace_path, workspace_type, dataset_name, validate), True))) ValueError: Layer: Unexpected error ...

My problem is this. I track and map parcel data and this is stored in an SDE feature class.  Also in this feature class is larger polygons like neighborhoods etc.  I want to be able to run a Geodatabase topology only on my parcel data.  The topology doesn�??t find cracks if there is a large neighborhood polygon behind it.  I cannot make a change or split the feature class its self because it would require a schema/architecture change to the database.  Also there are lots of views, services etc. that would not work if there was a change to the way the data is stored. Could I create a map topology for a view since those are stored as feature classes?  That way I could edit and change the original feature class, then the changes would get pushed to the view, and then pushed to the topology? ...
