Starting to seriously contemplate better failover. Any using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831698(v=ws.11) in this scenario? ... View more

So I have a custom GP tool, takes an input FC, does some stuff (Calculate coordinates a bunch of different ways/formats). Want to share it to a standalone server (10.7.1) from Pro 2.4 (but I think an ArcMap answer will work here). When publishing, complains about blah blah  blah is not registered (the input layer) and will be copied to the server. In the Pro sharing dialogue I see  But what I want is for the user to pick whatever fc they want, not the FC I used to generate the GP History item (needed to publish). I vaguely recall being able to do this with %scratch% and model builder (https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/gp-service-step-by-step-watershed.htm) but a solution to my issue doesn't manifest itself from that tutorial (which BTW needs to be updated to the Pro workflow). https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/analysis/geoprocessing/share-analysis/quick-tour-of-authoring-and-sharing-geoprocessing-services.htm seems to suggest that I have no choice but either copy the data, or reference a datastore. Am I attempting to do something with sharing a custom GP that isn't possible? Sure would like to get all my GP's converted to services.  ... View more

I really think this is a bug, but here goes:  I have a project with a gazillion maps I want (2) in this new layout I just fired up So I go to Map Frame and.....after scrolling up and down for 4,002,132 years, I eventually find it Note how the sort order in the Map Frame drop down.....is not sorted in any way I can determine, nor can I control it.  Same if I do this:  I realize I can just drag the map over into the layout from the cat pane, but that gives me a map zoomed to the extent of the basemap layer (world), which I was sadly told is not a bug ...

In Pro Project Management, sometimes I need to add (or import) many maps (mxd's), I don't necessarily want to sit there and wait for them to open. E.g I want to import all of my Bear Management MXD's, or add the 20 .mapx files my intern created for a resource study. In both cases, I just want them in my project for future use, I don't want to open them (now).  Currently I can drag mapx, pagx, and mxd into Pro and it will add (or import)them, but with the unwanted addition of opening them as well. I think that functionality should stay, and the "Add to Project" option added for those that just want the item unopened in their project.  ... View more
