One thing I did notice are changes to webgisdr. When I access Program Files>ArcGIS>Portal>tools>webgisdr>lib directory the only files in place now are the webgisdr-service.jar and the webgis-manager.jar java runtime files. Also, the 7zip directory is now gone. I was able to perform a full backup with my bat file that calls my updated myfullsitebkup.properties - so I can only assume that the updated webgisdr tool doesn't need all the previous library files since 3.x is now gone thoughts?

Without knowing anything about your deployment, all I could say is it would depend on how far along you are with the upgrade and whether or not this is a production deployment. I think at this point you should work with support if possible.

There are likely issues with accessing the items in the portal postgres db..... There is some kind of missing or mis-configuration of some config files. You really need to file a support ticket.

Hello - Just putting this up for the community. Our Enterprise upgrade from 11.5 to 12.0 went well. So far: The deployment content and functionality are fine. Responsiveness is fine. Living Atlas content access is fine. The Instant Apps, Experience Builder and Field Maps Designer edit config pages are fine. Existing Instant Apps and Experiences Builder apps from 11.5 are fine. The Portal, ArcGIS Server sites and DataStores are all updated, no registration issues with datastores or registration issues with any of the web adaptors. Overwrite of service definitions is fine using Pro 3.6, ArcPy sharing module or the arcgis api Publication of new hosted feature services form Pro 3.6 is find. The only thing that came up for me is that I was unable to re-disable the services directories after upgrade for the ArcGIS Server sites using the following: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/disabling-the-services-directory.htm Open the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory and sign in with an account that has been granted administrator privileges. Access the Services Directory settings by clicking system > handlers > rest > servicesdirectory > edit. Uncheck Services Directory Enabled and click Save. When performing step 3 – “Uncheck Services Directory Enabled and click Save” the check box control immediately reverts to its ‘checked’ state, leaving the Services Directory ‘Enabled’. It turns out this is a known bug and is in review. Support provided a simple workaround to adjust a json file setting, but they have not publicized the bug or workaround yet. I would say if disabling the services directory is important to your deploy, then contact support as soon as your upgrade is in place and they will tell you the fix. If you are ok with your services directory being visible, then no worries. Hope this helps others.

not from me, the last feedback I received was from @TonghuiMing last month. It's not something that is fixing itself on its own, apparently.

If your users will not own any items and only need the ability to edit registered or hosted feature layers that have been shared with them then you can move those user types from Creator to Mobile.

Interesting side note on this - our hosted server site is a 2-machine cluster. whenever we have to restart the machines (after Windows updates, etc) the logging error re-appears until I go into server admin and re-enable / re-disable the services directory. Once I do that, the SEVERE log entries cease.

‎11-12-2025

Good day - The repeating SEVERE-level log entries reporting a source errror: Logged At Component Id Code Level 10/24/25, 2:00:48.165 PM 624 9,000 severe .......... Source Message Hosted/Street.FeatureServer Hosted/Street/FeatureServer: null Has been resolved. I do not know why, but once I re-enabled the services directory on our Hosting site, the log entries ceased. After a 15 minute wait, I re-disabled the services director on the Hosting site, and the log entries reporting a null source error have remained absent. So for us, the action re-enable re-disable the services directory solved this issue.

So it turns out that the access prompt is a new feature in Chrome: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/local-network-access Because our Online webmaps that populate our instant apps and experiences are consuming layers from our Hosted Enterprise Site by-reference collaboration, the calls to the layers in said webmaps are causing Chrome to throw up the Access Prompt that I show in my earlier screen grab. If the on-network user clicks 'no', the apps still work but throw CORS errors in the console. If the on-network user clicks 'Allow', no errors.... Who knew? Not great but what can you do? @ZachBodenner

Yeah I mean we're only working in the Online builder so we're obviously not compiling from the dev edition and hosting on our web server. If I hear anything I'll post back as well. But I'm seeing all kinds of problems all over the community spaces since the October update and the Living Atlas 2025.2 content update for Enterprise. Last time I saw anything like this was with 11.3 Enterprise not updating properly - that turned out to be a culture / local issue - e.g. 'en-US'

Hi @ZachBodenner -At times, opening an ExB app in Edit mode in the Online ExB Editor I will receive the prompt that I need to enter my credentials for our Enterprise Portal. I enter them and then I'm fine. All of the layers we use are collaborated over from Enterprise by reference but all are shared 'with everyone' on both sides. Nevertheless, I'll still receive the prompt from time to time. After the Online update, we started to receive non stop source error reads in our Server logs for 'null' reads: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/request-error-percent-alerts-by-the-thousands/td-p/1660624 Recently, in the last week or so we now get this little prompt from Chrome while opening an Experience on our Network: Fortunatly I'm not seeing this prompt off-network, i.e when I open one of my ExB's on my phone.... I've got a case with support but who knows. We've been grasping at straws.

Hi @TonghuiMing - would it be possible for you to share more of what you are seeing in the console log, for which app or service, and where you are locating it this descrpancy in the console? The only vector-tile service I have listed from my host site that could possibly match the url stub I see in your screen shot is this: https://ags3.scgov.net/server/rest/services/Hosted/SarasotaCountyBase/VectorTileServer And this service does not show 0,0 for a minScale, maxScale Thanks

@Ke_Xu , @TonghuiMing - Good morning. After much examination and troubleshooting, this issue appears related to the Living Atlas content update and the ArcGIS Online update. That is, I examined one of my Enterprise 11.5 portal hosted experiences and they too show this same basemap issue. I upgraded the Living Atlas content to 2025.2 for our Enterprise on 10/21 and it now appears that any basemap where I am mashing custom vector tiles with Living Atlas reference layers, and that custom basemap is used as the webmaps' default basemap, will create the 'duplicate' map in the basemap tool. @MattiasEkström

Ok so this whole thing turns out to be a false positive. That is to say, the 'true curve' warning has nothing to do with being able / not being able to create this feature in Field Maps. Instead, this is all about the contingent value class and setting a 'require' on the edit form: This is for Field Maps only, for the web map edit edit widget or an edit widget in an app it is - once again - much more forgiving: You can't set a 'require' for the form element for the contingent value attribute that defines your edit template. You then also cannot set a 'require' on the 'dependent' contingent value attribute if <NULL> and <ANY> are allowed as a contingent value pair in your contingent value class. Doing so throws an 'unsupported form element' error in Field Maps. Once <NULL> and <ANY> are removed from the class, a 'require' can be set on the dependent attribute form element. This threw me off because Pro complains if you do not have NULL and ANY - but only until you open the attribute pane and add the dependent value. I consider this now solved and will mark it as so if no one else does.

Hello - I have a point layer with contingent values that Field Maps Designer in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 thinks has true curves. When I look at the layer in the 'Offline' settings in Designer, it shows that this layer has true curves: I've never seen this before ever, How is that possible for a point layer? Needless to say, the layer cannot be edited in Field Maps. It edits in Map Viewer and it edits in a Sidebar with the Edit widget
