I am happy to report that there is a solution to this!  In working with support last night we were able to perform certain queries and updates to certain tables contained in the the portal gwdb, all via the postgres command line interface.  The updates will remove and then add languages, and upon completion of the workflow, the English language pack is fully available, thus enabling (for us) the Instant Apps template and config pages, as well as restoring Map Viewer Symbol symbol categories.  I cannot speak to a re-gain of the Esri Basemaps content as we did not lose that part first reported here by @ShelbyZelonisRoberson  I am not able to relay what we did exactly, but anyone affected by this should be able to work with their support analyst now to affect this repair. Support cannot yet say whether the fix will be included as a patch for 11.2 now or as part of the 11.3 release (or both) - they just don't know yet. FYI the Instant App issue for the Sidebar app does still exist, where the 'Sidebar' has become a "Footer' and the Filter tool is non-functional, and some other css issues, so looking forward to 11.3 for this fix, @KellyHutchins  @ThomasColson  @StevePoladian  ...

Yes and this affects any page, web app, etc, that still uses 'DOMNodeInserted' - basically anything that still references the DOM.  Not just Enterprise, but Online as well, including this very GeoNet page. ... View more

Here are the results of my language try: https://dnsname.scgov.net:7443/arcgis/portaladmin/system/content/languages/remove   Error One or more requested language(s) cannot be removed as they are not yet configured, language=en.   {   "error" : {     "code" : 500,     "message" : "One or more requested language(s) cannot be removed as they are not yet configured, language=en.

What release of Enterprise are you working in?  If 11.2, there are problems with some installs where the style gallery(ies) did not install properly. ... View more

None so far @ThomasColson Support wants me to try and remove and then re-add the English language from portal admin with the idea being that upon an 'Add' our missing content may come back.  Although it seems straightforward from the help, I don't know what to expect in terms of downtime, interruptions, or behavior. ...

I moved over to Catalog and was able to batch calc raster statistics for 835 tif files in like 6 minutes.  Fortunately I still have an 10.8.2 install on a laptop... ... View more

Yes I am still working through this issue with support, and as noted above by @StevePoladian, our latest search of the postgres gwdb for  -c "SELECT username FROM gw_users WHERE username LIKE '%esri%'" returns  esri_apps esri_solutions esri esri_livingatlas esri_demographics esri_boundaries Support just suggested that the return for this query should have shown: "Based on the what languages the user has disabled at Portal Admin, we should not expect the following users to be returned: Bulgarian - Български - bg (false) Catalan - Català - ca (false) Hungarian - Magyar - hu (false) Slovak - Slovenčina - sk (false) Slovenian - Slovenščina - sl (false) Ukrainian - Україна - ukr (false)" Which are the languages portal has disabled by default.   Perhaps support meant for me to perform a query for languages?  Are languages in fact usernames?  I don't know, but to me this doesn't follow. I replied to support and we'll see what's next, but they are suggesting that through Portal Admin I disable the English language and then re-enable, with the thought being that by re-enabling the English language that will bring back or re-sync missing or mis-directed content.  I've never done this so I am not going to attempt this just yet - I don't know how Portal will be affected @ThomasColson  @ShelbyZelonisRoberson  ...

I can't even get past 2 tif files without the either the tool freezing up or my python script just hanging after taking 3 - 5 minutes per file, no matter if I am using a local workspace or across the network.  Typically, I run something like:   import sys, os, arcpy, time, smtplib from datetime import date, datetime, timedelta from arcpy import env # Local variables... message = "" current_time = time.asctime() todaysDate = date.today() priorYear = str(todaysDate - timedelta(days=547)) #547 starting_time = time.time() arcpy.SetLogHistory(False) env.configKeyword= "DEFAULTS" env.overwriteOutput = True try: env.workspace = "D:\\Imagery" #env.workspace = r"E:\\Tiles\\GeoTIFF\\Property" # Had to go into directory and give account full control - see if works for loop, after 2 files locks up #env.workspace = r"\\networkshare\\imagery\\2024\\GeoTIFFs" rasters = arcpy.ListRasters("*", "TIF") for raster in rasters: print(raster) arcpy.CalculateStatistics_management(raster, "1", "1", "", "SKIP_EXISTING", "") print (raster + " stats calculated") message = message + "\n\n" + raster + " stats calculated" 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)     And like I said, it won't get past 2 tif files before just hanging.  I should mention I have almost 900 of these - out entire county, 3 band tif images, 4" resolution.  I used the same script workflow above to BuildPyramids, that took about 8 hours.  Not great, but I can live with that.   @KenBuja  - would you happen to have any ideas?

Hi @ShelbyZelonisRoberson - I can tell you support escalated our case yesterday on this as multiple orgs are affected, so fingers crossed ... View more

Ouch.  No basemaps or Instant apps. Yeah I hear ya.  There are problems with this release for sure. .  Some orgs got lucky apparently, ours (yours) did not.  And agreed, the update did go very smooth for me, with the exception of the install setup.exe would hang for like 45 minutes between 'estimating size' and 'install'.  But once it got going, they were fast.  and then post-upgrades went fast.  Server was very quick, as was datastore. Our rep was able to escalate our case, so fingers crossed.   ... View more

See my post here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/11-2-upgrade-instant-apps-config-won-t-come-up/td-p/1404024 We lost the Instant Apps configuration page and all but basic shapes in Map Viewer and Map Viewer Classic symbology picker when we upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2.  So we cannot create an Instant App or re-configure any of our existing Instant Apps.  Nor can we modify anything but basic symbology in the map viewer. I did receive 2 warnings during and after the post install.  The first came during the post-install from our Carbon Black:  "Threat Blocked".  The second was a Post Install notice that said there was a problem with the language pack install.  Since I could do nothing about either notice, I did nothing. In the meantime: I have been working with support for over a month and there is no solution found.  For us, we did not lose basemaps from Living Atlas, but losing the other components (for us anyway, just as bad). From the console logs, the Instant App config page appears to be looking for js and ts scripts as well as calcite components that for whatever reason did not install. I say 'did not install' as opposed to 'did not install properly' or 'did not install in the right location' because my webgisdr backup files are now 2Gb smaller than my 11.1 webgisdr backups.  We didn't delete 2Gb of items, layers etc so to me that suggests alot of libraries, etc didn't install. Anyway, support asked me to search the portal gwdb for a user 'esri_en', items owned by user 'esri_en', and groups owned by user 'esri_en'.  'esri_en' as a user is not found, because 'esri_en' is either a language or a culture tag in an items info, but not a user.  I do however recall seeing 'esri_en' in older versions of Living Atlas maps and layers. At this point, they have now suggested to maybe try and Export Site and Import Site operations, based on information that those ops can sometimes repair corrupted installs.  I'm not so sure.  Plus there is not much help on this from the Portal rest api help. I am more inclined to try a new install of 11.2 on a new server and perform a Join Site, as this is something we just did at 11.1 Wish I could help more.  Our rep is going to try to escalate our case for us...         ...

I recently went through this exercise as well - we were migrating to new Windows Server 2022 VMs from 2016 VMs.  And although I didn't run into issues joining the portal site, once I removed the old portal machine from the site the federated and hosting server sites would no longer validate. What I did was go into the SecurityConfig in the ArcGIS Serve Administrator Directory at ....6443/arcgis/admin/security/config and I could see that for Portal Properties I needed to update the Private Portal URLs:   "privatePortalUrl": "https://OldDNSName.org.net:7443/arcgis", to  "privatePortalUrl": "https://NewDNSName.org.net:7443/arcgis", Once I did this, then the federated and hosting sites validated just fine.   ...

Yeah that's crazy.  I normally am clearing browser cache several times a day for 'all time' with everything being cleared, form entries, etc.  I did that again, and then went into the device's Settings > Apps >Chrome and cleared the Cache from the 'Storage & Cache' area.  I then went into incognito mode, copied in a link, performed a search, and the behavior is not present.  So that's good. But, after repeating those steps again, I opened a link back into 'regular' tab mode and the behavior re-appears.  So not so good . . . but I do now have something to tell mobile users on Android.  Hopefully it's one of those things that disappears with the next Chrome update on Android. ...
