Another issue newly discovered is that - if you try and use the C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\tools>disabledatastore command, the command is no longer recognized. Probably because the last store registered in the Data Store happened to be the Object Store. I am guessing 're-tasking' a single machine a tile Cache store in primaryStandby mode as a single instance Object store wasn't considered? maybe? not sure... but this is what you get: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore\tools>disabledatastore 'disabledatastore' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Its really a Catch-22. If I upgrade to 11.4 first, and then try and run the disabledatastore command, it won't work, or at least it certainly isn't working at 11.3 So what I will do is go back into the utility and unregister the object store data store from the hosting site. Then, after re-starting my 2-machine host site cluster, go in and re-run the disabledatastore --tileCache command to remove it from the site. Finally, go back and re-add the object store as a single instance....

Sadly I should have paid attention to this: Data store type Default mode Other mode option Notes Object store Single instance Cluster Single instance mode supports a single machine. Cluster mode must be deployed with three or more machines. You cannot change modes after deploying an object store. For any others out there, if using the configuredatastore utility: Don't specify a mode. There is no 'single instance' mode option when configuring an object as on of the command parameters: Supported configuration options: [--stores [relational][,][tileCache][,][spatiotemporal][,][graph][,][object] [--mode primaryStandby|cluster] [--roles [coord][,][data]] So you have to not put in that arg. Wish that were better detailed, since you cannot change modes for an object store...

My apologies @MarceloMarques - I misread the blog and misunderstood the intent. I now see what you are communicating. I don't think I was clear with my use case workflow. I am still at 11.3. I am going to use the same Windows 2022 VM that is currently used as the tile Cache store, because we currently have no content in the tileCache. It is an empty shell. I will then configure an object store on the same server as the tileCache store using the configuredatastore utility and specifying an object store, still at 11.3. The object store then is registered with the hosting site. I'll go back into the machine and run the disabledatastore command to unregister and remove the tileCache store. Then I will proceed with the enterprise upgrade to 11.4, and when I reach the step to upgrade the object store, it should be recognized and be up-gradable...

I don't really understand what this is supposed to be, other than a how-to guide for a very high level deployment that most of us don't have: As of the 11.4 release, the tile cache data store is deprecated. In a future release, it will no longer be supported. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-blog/as-of-the-11-4-release-the-tile-cache-data-store/ba-p/1564829/jump-to/first-unread-message I can understand the reason for the blog. The help is clear on the deprecation. But the rest of us could certainly use some guidance. So, what's up @MarceloMarques and @George_Thompson ? Its just I haven't seen anyone else in this space complaining about this particular use case. Maybe one of you could provide a comment to what I am asking....?

As far as I know License Manager is not being removed at 11.4, it is just no longer required at 11.4. We are still on the concurrent use license manager for Pro 3.4 and Enterprise 11.3. We can't move to the named users method yet because we haven't yet purchased the Professional and Professional Plus seats that we need to do so. So I believe until 11.5 the concurrent use license manager will continue to work since named users are different from concurrent users. Anyone please feel free to correct me as we're trying to make sure we covered.

Actually, this looks like it will be easier than I thought. This is from the esri AI Chatbot: .......... Yes, it is possible to configure an object store on an existing tileCache data store server and then remove the tileCache data store. Here are the steps to achieve this: Backup Data Stores: Take a backup of both the relational and tile cache data stores using the backupdatastore utility. Remove Standby Tile Cache Data Store (if applicable): If the data stores are configured to be highly available, use the removemachine utility to remove the standby tile cache data store. Unregister Tile Cache Data Store: Use the unregisterdatastore utility to unregister the tile cache data store from the hosting server. Restore Tile Cache Data Store (if needed): Use the restoredatastore utility to restore the tile cache data store from the backup on a new machine if required. Configure Object Store: Run the configuredatastore utility on all machines to be added to the object store cluster. Use the following command: ./configuredatastore <serverURL> <serverAdmin> <serverAdminPassword> <directory> --stores object --mode cluster Ensure the directory path does not contain spaces. If you intend to use multiple machines in the object store, specify --mode cluster. Remove Tile Cache Data Store: If the ArcGIS Data Store cannot access the machine, specify --force true to remove the machine from the tile cache data store using the following command: ./removemachine tilecache3 --store tilecache --force true By following these steps, you can successfully configure an object store and remove the existing tileCache data store. If you need further assistance, please contact Esri technical support. ..........

It also occurred to me that I could just reconfigure the current tileCache store as an Object Store now at 11.3 before I upgrade, since I don't have any scene caches or 3D mesh layers now, and so the tileCache store is empty. I could then run the disabledatastore --store tileCache https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/migrate-scene-services-utility.htm and then maybe go back into the machine and re-register it as an object store?

Hi - I prepping for upgrade from 11.3 - 11.4, I just now saw the deprecation of the tileCache store at 11.4 and the reccomendation to convert/standup an objectStore. Can I re-purpose my current tileCache store server as an Object Store server? Any recommendations on this? Thanks-

Hey @tcaulum_WPPI - can you tell me if you guys were on a concurrent license at 11.3? I'm getting ready to move to11.4, but we are still on the concurrent license manager at 11.3 for our Pro3.4 users (mostly because we don't have the funding yet to purchase the Professional and Professional Plus user types for GIS staff). So I'm trying to figure out the implications... thanks

Thanks @JakeSkinner - yeah it still doesn't like it: or like this: org_group = ['dc0c980751374bf796f3965b720154ba'] portItem_grp.remove(group=org_group) But it does like this: org_group = 'dc0c980751374bf796f3965b720154ba' portItem_grp.remove(org_group) This 3rd syntax removed the layer from the group. More than one group works like this: org_group = 'dc0c980751374bf796f3965b720154ba,da28c73ec47344df87290ed58e09f533' portItem_grp.add(org_group) Thanks for your help! David

Hi - I am trying to use the new Sharing Module at 2.4 like this (I still like to use the IDLE for testing): from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.gis._impl._content_manager import SharingLevel gis = GIS("...myorg.net/portal", "myUsername", "myPassword", verify_cert=False) try: portItems = gis.content.search(query="owner:myUsername", item_type="Feature Layer", sort_field="title", sort_order="asc", max_items=5000) for portItem in portItems: if (portItem.title == "SchoolBoardDistrict4"): portItem_sharing = portItem.sharing portItem_grp = portItem_sharing.groups type(portItem_grp) print(type(portItem_grp)) # I am getting the correct type <class 'arcgis.gis._impl._content_manager.sharing.api.SharingGroupManager'> org_group = ["Planning Layers Group"] # This works portItem_sharing.sharing_level = SharingLevel.EVERYONE #portItem_grp.add(group=org_group) portItem_grp.remove(org_group) # won't remove the item from the group portItem_grp.list() print(portItem_grp.list()) # [<Group title:"Planning Layers Group" owner:dmcoley_portal>] except Exception: # If an error occurred, print line number and error message import traceback, sys tb = sys.exc_info()[2] e = sys.exc_info()[1] print(e.args[0]) print ("Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno) message = message + "\n" + "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno message = message + "\n" + str(e) Based on this sample from the Sharing Group Manager in the API reference: # Usage example: >>> from arcgis.gis import GIS >>> gis = GIS(profile="your_organization_profile") >>> org_item = gis.content.get("<item_id>") >>> org_group = gis.groups.search("Storm Data Group")[0] >>> item_sharing_mgr = org_item.sharing >>> item_grp_sharing_mgr = item_sharing_mgr.groups >>> item_grp_sharing_mgr.list() [] >>> item_grp_sharing_mgr.add(group=org_group) True >>> item_grp_sharing_mgr.list() [<Group title:"Storm Data Group" owner:web_gis_user1>] It just doesn't seem to want to take the org_group object I am setting up. Any Ideas? @jcarlson @JakeSkinner

Using the download manager, I did not experience this issue going from 3.3.2 to 3.4

So you may find this interesting @Jamie_Leitch_CNF - when I tried to overwrite my layer like I detailed above, the arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server('C:/ArcProProjects3x/PortalUpdates/Transportation/' + lyr.name + '.sd', 'My Hosted Services', "","","","","","OVERRIDE_DEFINITION","SHARE_ONLINE","PUBLIC", "SHARE_ORGANIZATION","Transportation Layers Group") failed with five 9's - 99999 something unexpected.... Turns out that where I am specifying the group to be shared with, "Transportation Layers Group" in my case I now need to specify it as a list: ["Transportation Layers Group" ] Once I did that, the Upload Service Definition method works

Hi @MonicaBeaton - can you describe your deployment? Is this a base deployment or is this a fully distributed deployment, with the web server hosting your web adaptors, the Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server and the ArcGIS Relational Data store on separate servers? We use Sectigo certs. Because we are on a fully distributed system using F5 as our front door (can't really call it a reverse proxy) the web server is only aliased on the F5, and not in the DNS. This is so that the full Sectigo trust chain can be or is first setup on the web server. Then, at initial setup for each component, I needed to import both the root and intermediate certificates. finally, I needed to import the pfx generated by our EIT Security team. If this is a base deployment, with all components on a single server, I would think that as long as the trust chain is in place, and your IT has provided you with the root and intermediate certificates and a pfx you should be able to re-import them. Once in place, you can remove any old certificates.

Also @brianHerbel are you using the download manager to update pro or are you using the downloaded exe from your MyEsri?
