Moving from a solution in AGOL to Portal

Laura — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 17:49:56 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone has started with a solution in AGOL and then went and launched that solution in Portal when it became available. Is this manageable? I would like to deploy the new cemetery management solution in AGOL, but ultimately would prefer this in Portal.. I just like the idea of waiting for the built out solution.

Hi Laura,

While I have not had the need to do it yet I would imagine it is similar to migrating from an older version of a Solution to a newer version. You would deploy the solution in Portal then migrate your feature layer data from AGO to the same Portal feature layers. The feature layers schemas should be the same so it should be pretty seamless, unless I am missing something.

@Laura Great question! Recommend to review the solution requirements and have a good understanding of the information products, components included. For instance these details can be found at Cemetery Management

Some solutions have been built to support both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise but some are not packaged for both. However, you can follow @ToddPlank2 advice and port over a solution per your deployment/implementation needs.

I have deployed the Cemetery Management solution and am building the database. I plan to build it in-house, the deploy wither on the portal or AGOL. I am disappointed that ESRI provide no documentation whatsoever for this solution. I was trying to find Entity Relationship Diagrams, Administrators guide, set up guide etc., to no avail.

I am currently attempting to deploy but running into issues joining/relating the owner and burials tables with the gravesites layer when following the deployment tasks. It is a major headache for some reason.

It took forever to me as well along with multiple calls to support.

Bummer! What was the solution? I still haven't gotten it to work... Starting to give it another go. When I validate my burial to gravesites join based on the gravesiteid field it comes back with no matches.... I checked for any leading or trailing spaces on the data and even removed and reindexed the join fields. No luck.

Don't use the join within the task folder of the solution. Just do it directly on the layer and table.

I just got it working.. Solution was a facepalm but I just need to close my attribute table. Even though nothing was selected in them, a row was being highlighted somehow is the best guess I have.

@Dakota - sorry to hear the tasks were hard to follow. I am aware that sometimes the tasks automatically make a selection of no records (see screenshot below), and that can cause issues with running the join/calculate.

Opening the attribute table and either switching the selection or choosing a manual selection should fix the issue.

If there are any other issues you're experiencing with the Pro tasks or overall solution, please let me know and I can log them as issues to fix in an update. Thank you!

@ToddPlank2's recommendation is correct. We are planning to release a version of Cemetery Management at Enterprise 11.2. The feature layers and schema will not change, so you will be able to export your data from your AGOL solution and load it into the Enterprise version.

A more complicated option is to re-create the solution's maps, apps, and views in ArcGIS Enterprise, either manually or with the help of ArcGIS Assistant. However, if you're okay with waiting for the solution to be available at Enterprise 11.2, that will be the best option.

Trying to deploy Address Management Solution in 11.2; however, will start to build and then fails with the error "failure to deploy solution." On inspect can see where all the components are attempting to deploy then failure. See error in image.

@Lacy_House, all the items that are referenced there in the error are Feature Services included in the solution. Could you try something to test if there is an issue with deploying hosted feature services in the portal?

From the Content page in your portal, click New Item
Click Feature Layer > Use a Template
Select the AEDs and then Next through all the other dialogs to create the service.

Does it successfully create?

Completely missing the option to create a new (Feature Layer).

Re: Moving from a solution in AGOL to Portal

It appears either your user account or Enterprise portal doesn't have the necessary prerequisites to publish hosted layers. See the documentation below for more information:

https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/use/hosted-web-layers.htm

Most solutions include hosted feature layers which require this functionality be available in the portal in order to deploy solutions. If you enable this ability you should no longer see this error when deploying.
