Hi David - in looking up reasons as to why I do not see the DynamicMappingHost in my Server Manager, I came across your post.  The short answer is no.  Hosted feature services use postgres.exe processes, not soc.exe processes so there is no need to increase the number of instances for the DynamicMappingHost service on the hosted site.  For the federated site, the rule of thumb is one instance per core per machine.  So I have 2 servers, 8 cores each. So that's a total of 16 instances for my federated site - enough to run 10s of services as part of the shared instance.  ... View more

Hi again Kathleen - just reviewing some posts and blogs in prep for the impending 9.0 upgrade and came across this again.  Yes, when you say: "This was by far the most painful and stressful upgrade I have experienced of any software, ever. Portal alone took 6 hours to complete and the entire system upgrade took just under 12 hours. I never want to do this again. But unfortunately, we will need to upgrade to 10.9.1 to take advantage of the new parcel fabric features. ugh!" I could not agree more.  Portal alone does take at least 6 hours.  For us, the entire upgrade time is beginning to approach 18 hours.  Portal, 2 hosting arcgis servers, 2 federated arcgis servers, relational data store, tile cache datastore plus the web adpators.  I would say the by far the most gut-wrenching part are the post-installs, where any kind of network failure at that point would hose the whole install.  Talk about panic filled hours.  That's a long time to have a system offline.  ESRI needs to do something to speed  this up- please ...

Hi - there seems to be an issue with Map Viewer Beta and coordinate transformation.  I have a hosted feature layer collection in Florida West State Plane HARN (2882) coordinate system.  The layer contains valve and irrigation head points.  When I add the service to the current map viewer (soon to be map viewer classic), the points are positioned correctly along the north-south (x-axis).  When I add this service to ArcPro 2.7.2 and apply the transformation (NAD 1983 HARN To WGS 84 2) the points are also positioned correctly along the north-south (x-axis).  However, when I add this same service to a map viewer beta there is a noticeable shift to the south of some 10 to 15.     Here are some screen shots: Map Viewer Classic:   Map Viewer Beta:   Clearly there is an alignment / transformation issue.  Sadly, the issue persists when I add a map (either built in classic or beta) to a 4.x configurable app such as the interactive legend app.   Here is my feature layer collection: https://sarco.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e71620a6b1a846ce8cb7ef5238f3a847       ...

Hi Jeff - how do I get Field Maps for Enterprise?  We are at the 10.8.1 release ... View more

Ok thanks for that, hopefully that helps out @M_M here.... ... View more

This may or may not help, but because of the way they are accessing via url, you may do better setting up the types as calculate on your columns instead of defaults and binding to esriType column. Otherwise I'm not sure. ... View more

Correct, that part is on Jim here.  I'm not sure where his layer is coming from.... ... View more

Hi Ken - I got this to work ok in CodePen: labelExpressionInfo: { expression: "$feature.MARKER_ACTIVITY" }, where: "MARKER_ACTIVITY IN ('Campground Camping', 'Sledding/Tubing')" }; regardless of a space (or not) following the comma',' after Campground Camping. Basically mimics this from the api: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-support-LabelClass.html labelClass.where = "MARKER_ACTIVITY IN ('Picnicking', 'Group Camping')";   ...

I would simply update / move the point locations' in the field using the GNSS receiver.  Then go in and calc the lat and lon in Pro afterwards.  ... View more

Hello again - I still do not know how to control the notifications feed.  Before the platform update this month, I only saw notifications in my notification feed for posts that I either generated or posts that I replied to.  Now, my feed contains every reply from every user for every topic that I am subscribed to.     Help!  Information Overload! ...

Hi Kathleen, not sure - I ran across a few things in this topic We use McAfee.  Our EIT Security made an exceptions group for the exe processes that need to run without scan - But our EIT security group just made the exceptions group... it was not in place when I upgraded.  I'm hoping that when I go to 10.9 that it makes things easier. Also, make sure they have all the ports open that you need on all the machines. https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/windows/arcgis-enterprise-overall-system-requirements.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_753566AB780B4EB9AD253CD654F1DB7Fhttps://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/install/windows/ports-used-by-portal-for-arcgis.htm We went from 10.7.1 to 10.8 as part of my regular upgrades - I did not go to 10.8 just so I could then go to 10.8.1.   To me though, I don't know how virus software can interfere with licensing portal, unless the virus software is somehow blocking the json file type from being read.  The appBundles are associated with the Creator and Viewer types, since you have different groups for both concurrent and named user - to me that is the issue.  Something is not being recogonized.  Have you opened your json file in notepad ++ and examined it?  Are there change between the 10.71 and10.81 files?   ...

You know, in general, the entire platform move has been disappointing.  I have been contributing solutions and feedback to this forum on all manner of topics as a student, as a tech, as an Analyst and as ArcEnterprise Administrator.  Not to mention as java script developer. All of us have lost bookmarks and threads.  All of us have lost threads. All of us have lost contacts.  All of us have had to re-learn a platform.  And for what?  Where is the benefit?  I can't find my responses under an avalanche of replies.  None of us need to see eveyone else's replies just because we are subscribed to a community! I applaud the 2 "Kudos' given for your reply - I hope those 'Kudos' mean 'thanks, because I too was wondering why my thread was also suddenly buried' ... View more

Thanks Michelle - that's fine and I will do that.  But I just want to say that I had already done that and something changed in GeoNet that flooded my notifications this morning, and continues now.  So, you know, not happy ... View more
