Unable to enable Location Tracking

[Jean-SebastienLauzon]

Although we have Tracker for ArcGIS App Licences, when I try to enable Location Tracking under our Organizations Extension, I get an error message "Unable to enable Location Tracking"

Anyone's had this issues before and know how to fix it?

Can you search all items in your organization using this query

typekeywords: "Location Tracking Service"

do you see anything returned?

If you do not see any items, then I suggest you open a case with customer support as it may be specific to your organization and will require further debugging.

Thanks for the suggestion!

There was an issues that customer support was able to fix after a few days.

We're up and running now.

Hi Jean-Sebastien,

I get the same error message. Do you know how support fixed the problem ?

Hi Aaron,

What if the search result is a location tracking hosted feature service owned by an administrator other than myself? Should I delete the item or change the owner (to myself) before enabling the location tracking?

hi @Anonymous User ,
I got error when click organization > settings

Unable to find the location tracking service: https://****/****/rest/services/Hosted/location_tracking/FeatureServer

I try to reconfigure location tracking but got same error. I try delete all layer "Location Tracking Service" but  1 layer cannot be delete.

Do you have any suggestions?

Hi @Izzat,

I also had the "ghost" service issue preventing me from enabling the location tracking service. The only solution I found was to delete the service trace in the underlying datastore database with PgAdmin. Please note that this operation is not recommended by ESRI.

Do you mean the deletion failed? Or that you don't have the option to delete the service in UI - it's intentionally blocked in UI on the item details page.

You should be able to delete it via the REST API or via the Python API wrapper unless there's an issue on the server/db.

The deletion failed even via the REST API or Python API.

We have identified the request that fails while trying to enable the location tracking service :

https://***.com/portal/sharing/rest/portals/self/isServiceNameAvailable?name=location_tracking&type=... 

returns

{"error":{"code":500,"message":"Internal Server Error"}}

So we deleted the item directly from the datastore database, we updated the Portal index and we enabled location tracking successfully.

It seems that the location tracking service no longer existed on the server but was still referenced in the datastore and Portal.

Hi @RonanHervé ,

how you delete the item directly from the datastore database? 
Do mind share your step to delete it manually.
