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. ..........   ... View more

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?     ...

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 ...

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

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? ... View more

Yes, same here.  Issue is fixed. ... View more

Here's how I've always done this in the Python IDLE if it helps anyone:   # Import system modules import sys, os, arcpy, time, smtplib from arcpy import env from datetime import timedelta # Local variables... message = "" current_time = time.asctime() starting_time = time.time() arcpy.SetLogHistory(False) env.configKeyword= "DEFAULTS" env.overwriteOutput = True def stageSDDraft(mp,lyrName,summary,lyrs,descript,folder,tags,sdfolder): sddraft_out = "C:/ArcProProjects3x/PortalUpdates/" + sdfolder + "/" + lyrName + ".sddraft" draft = mp.getWebLayerSharingDraft("HOSTING_SERVER", "FEATURE", lyrName, lyrs) draft.portalFolder = folder draft.tags = tags ##draft.allowExporting = True draft.summary = summary draft.description = descript draft.overwriteExistingService = True draft.exportToSDDraft(sddraft_out) return try: portal = arcpy.SignInToPortal("https://webserver.ourorg.net/portal", "myUserName", "MyPassword") aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('C:/ArcProProjects3x/PortalUpdates/PortalUpdates.aprx') for m in aprx.listMaps("Trans Layers"): print("Map: " + m.name) for lyr in m.listLayers(): if lyr.name == 'Thoroughfare': lyrList = [] lyrList.append(m.listLayers(lyr.name)[0]) print(lyr.name) stageSDDraft(m, lyr.name, "The Thoroughfare layer contains existing and planned roadways for Sarasota County, supporting a variety of transportation, evacuation and transportation planning efforts.",lyrList, "The Thoroughfare layer contains existing and planned roadways for Sarasota County, supporting a variety of transportation, evacuation and transportation planning efforts", "TransportationLayers","Transportation,Planning,Services,Safety","Transportation") print(lyr.name + " Draft Created") arcpy.StageService_server('C:/ArcProProjects3x/PortalUpdates/Transportation/' + lyr.name + '.sddraft', 'C:/ArcProProjects3x/PortalUpdates/Transportation/' + lyr.name + '.sd') print(lyr.name + " Service Staged") arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server('C:/ArcProProjects3x/PortalUpdates/Transportation/' + lyr.name + '.sd', 'My Hosted Services', "","","","","","OVERRIDE_DEFINITION","SHARE_ONLINE","PUBLIC", "SHARE_ORGANIZATION","Transportation Layers Group") print(lyr.name + " Service Uploaded") message = message + "\n" + "1. " + (lyr.name) + " Service Uploaded"   So it looks like I am going to have to adjust my tags string here in the stageSDDraft: "Transportation,Planning,Services,Safety" to "Transportation", "Planning", "Services", "Safety"  or to ["Transportation", "Planning", "Services", "Safety"] @Jamie_Leitch_CNF  ...

Definitely thank you for this @Jamie_Leitch_CNF  - I've been using this method since 1.x (or ever since they created the arcpy sharing module) to create sddrafts, stage the sd file, and upload same in order to keep our weekly Enterprise hosted feature layers current.... ... View more
