Hi @RobertKrisher - in doing a lot more troubleshooting on this it does appear that the gp tool for validate un topology will now only run against a named user version... It simply will not run against the sde.DEFUALT version as the unowner portal account when connecting to the Utility Network service in Pro 3.7, or when trying to connect to portal via a python workflow, whether in the instant window, a model, or a notebook. Thanks @rlyding  ... View more

If this is true then this is a total disaster.  Are they telling me that I will no longer be able to publish different layers from the same file geodatabase source?  Or the same sde data source?  What's the problem?  Too many malicious AI's stealing publicly share resources and 're-publishing' as their 'own' resources? I can tell anyone who cares that an insurance company has been 'harvesting' our publicly available Image Server image services via a 'pythonx' method performing an 'export image'.  When I reversed the IIS call I could see that the company does 'predictive roof failure' analysis. In the meantime, my services are experiencing 10s of 1000s of requests per second.  All the company had to do is to ask for the imagery and we would provide it.  Instead, they decided to make their own shortcut.   Why? Because now they can. Will this 'service update' or 'service impact' address these BAD ACTORS??  Somehow I doubt it.  Probably the reverse. Have a nice weekend. ... View more

Yes thanks @RobertKrisher and that's what I told @rlyding - IDLE is simply when you right-click an *.py file in windows and select 'Edit with IDLE (ArcGIS Pro): DavidColey_1-1779473377706.png There is no configuration of that environment, other than like setting indents vs spaces, etc. Could be something with dot10 is messing it up for that tool.    ...

Yes @RobertKrisher the tool did run successfully inside ArcGIS Pro using the toolbox tool from both the default arcpy environment and then from the cloned environment (after I ran the conda install -c esri untools --insecure).   The validate portion of the script runs nightly from a Windows task where it calls the python.exe from the command and uses the unc path to the full script as the task argument - our standard Windows Task Scheduler procedures we've been doing for years. Regardless, when I try to run my UNMaintenance.arcpy script from the python IDLE window, I get the error.   All of my other scripts that use arcpy like FeatureSharing run this way and are just fine.  @rlyding  ...

Well I'm at a loss.  The tool simply will not run from the python IDLE, whether the arcpy environment is set to the default or to the clone. All of my other hundreds of scripts run just fine from the IDLE, including ones that use the: import arcpy arcpy.SignInToPortal(https://myorg.net/portal, 'username', 'password') L950SewerUN_Utility_Network = "https://myorg.net/agsfed/rest/services/CollectorServices/Sewer_Utility_Network/FeatureServer/950" arcpy.un.ValidateNetworkTopology(in_utility_network=L950SewerUN_Utility_Network, extent='474063.442811626 1070897.65903111 474156.933218947 1070963.47578807')   so who knows. Everytime I try this run from the idle as the unowner user it comes back as ERROR 004403: Unable to validate network topology because another session is currently validating.Failed to execute (ValidateNetworkTopology).     ...

Thanks for the replies @rlyding @RobertKrisher @gis_KIWI4  - We may have narrowed this down some.  I ran a test on a disconnected Service Connection sewer device in our Sewer UN.  I set up a version off the sde.Default, dropped the point disconnected to from its service line to create a dirty area and then used the Validate topology toolbar GUI tool. The validate was successful. Now - because I am our org admin I set up an arcpy clone so that I am able to take advantage of adding in packages and being able to update the arcgis. I switched back to the default arcpy environment, repeated the edit steps above except this time I ran the validate topology from the toolbox tool. The validate was again successful. Long story short, I may have a bad clone.  Typically when I upgrade pro I always delete the clone, perform the update, re-clone the environment to the default clone location then run the conda update -c esri arcgis command. However, when I completed the conda update and searched for the untools package, it was not present for 3.7.  Now it is: Last week, I did not get these options when updating the clone for conda install -c esri untools --insecure    The following packages will be downloaded:       package                    |            build     ---------------------------|-----------------     certifi-2026.5.20          |  py313haa95532_0         131 KB     untools-3.7.0              |          py313_0         867 KB  esri     ------------------------------------------------------------ So we'll see.     ...

Hello - if you look at the help, you do have to have a matching stylex file that you have shared as a Web Style to your Online or Enterprise org.  Otherwise you'll keep having this problem. ... View more

Yes this is a real thing.  I cannot share tile packages either.  However, I think this is an ArcGIS Online issue not a pro issue.  I can share a 450MB image tile package to ArcEnterprise 12.0 in seconds.  Where as trying to go to https://ourorg.maps,arcgis.com is completely hanging ... View more

Hello - looks to me like everything is a vector style-type symbology in the webmap.  Can you tell me what version of Pro you are on?  Are these hosted feature layers in ArcGIS Online or Enterprise?  If Enterprise, what version?  Finally, since you saying that once you use the ArcPy Feature sharing module to do sd overwrites - CreateDraft>Stage>UploadServiceDefinition - and that you do have "useCIMSymbols" set to True - do you have a stylex that you have shared as a webStyle in your org?   It may be that if you don't have a matching style in your org that may have some impact.   ...

Sure, it looks like this: portal120About.png Interestingly enough, this is showing an 11.1 (11.1 ?) patch as still being installed on my 12.0 deploy.  Granted I've rolled many releases on this current machine, but the 11.1 patch does not show as installed from Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features>Installed Updates so that's pretty wild.  }, "patches": {"installed": [ { "installDate": "3/3/2024", "qfeId": "PFA-111-P-1012", "productName": "Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Validation and Repair" }, { "installDate": "4/21/2026", "qfeId": "PFA-120-P-1406", "productName": "Portal for ArcGIS 12.0 Web App Embedded Element Patch" }, { "installDate": "4/21/2026", "qfeId": "PFA-120-P-1417", "productName": "Portal for ArcGIS 12.0 Security 2026 Update 1 Patch" }, { "installDate": "4/21/2026", "qfeId": "PFA-120-P-1417B", "productName": "Portal for ArcGIS 12.0 Security 2026 Update 1 Patch B" } ]}   ...

Yes @RyanUthoff  please do.  Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about WebAdaptor on our web server, not sure what the solution is for that other than to keep checking the Patches and Updates site from time to time. But at least for our clustered ArcServer machines, I only have to check 1 to know that I would need to run a patch update on all 4 machines.  Same for our 2 data stores . . .  ... View more

I do see the Installed Patches per machine in my About section.... but yes it would be great if the About could include 'Available Patches' as well.  I too have to periodically check using the patch notification tool on each machine in my deploy. ... View more

Hi @SusieDFG  - I would also mention that "communicating a response" when you ask a specific question like "How does one get a response in the ESRI community?" would also go a long way towards the community members actually responding.  I know we are all busy and all have other tasks and duties, but responding with a simple "thanks I'll look into that" or an "I appreciate the support, here's what I've done so far ..." can go a long way with others supporting each other in a professional forum. ...

Yeah I tried to do this myself a long time ago when the survey widget first became available to the Online ExB version but could never get it to work either.   The communication was always one way from the (Info and / or List widgets in my case) to the Survey.  I could not find a trigger action mechanism to make it work, and url parameter passing was not available yet. Using a data view of the survey-updated data for the list widget did work, sort of.  I ran into problems though with the data view not then updating an info widget in the map without a page refresh.  Since you're not using a map maybe that won't be an issue for you? Definitely interested if you solve..... ... View more
