From SDE 10.6.1 on SQL 2014 ENT, I have some ghost replicas left over from a years ago TS case. The feature services that spawned them are long gone. How to remove them?  SELECT ITEMS.Definition .value( '(/GPSyncReplica/ID)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS "ID" , ITEMS.Definition .value( '(/GPSyncReplica/ReplicaName)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS "Replica Name" , ITEMS.Definition .value( '(/GPSyncReplica/ReplicaID)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS "Replica ID" , ITEMS.Definition .value( '(/GPSyncReplica/CreationDate)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS "Creation Date", ITEMS.Definition .value( '(/GPSyncReplica/GPSyncDatasets/GPSyncDataset/DatasetName)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS "Dataset Name" from dbo.GDB_ITEMS AS ITEMS INNER JOIN dbo.GDB_ITEMTYPES AS ITEMTYPES ON ITEMS .Type = ITEMTYPES .UUID WHERE ITEMTYPES.

So I'm getting good feedback on the whole many maps and layouts in a Pro Project, and frankly, is the only "Carrot" I have to get folks to switch over. However, here's what's happening:  User will bring 5,10, 20 maps into a Pro Project, maybe make 5 layouts. These maps come from what were formally separate ArcGIS "Project" folders, none of them having anything to do with each other, but, hey, drinking the Kool Aid, we can now manage these maps in one Project, right? Keep in mind, each one of these "maps" is a map file I had set up and put in these widely distributed folders.  Another user also needs to be looking at the maps that the first user is manipulating. Let's say they have a Project with 13 maps in it, where 10 of those maps are coming from the same legacy folders that User 1 got his maps from.  This happened:  User 1 told user 2 he saved the project, and user 2 should now see the updates to those 10 maps. What neither realizes, is that those maps are now part of User 1's Project, and were NOT saved anywhere on a server in 10 different folders.  The explanation of "Well you have to "share" each map was interpreted as "That makes no sense. I saved my project. What's the problem here?".  Would be handy, if, in cat pane or view, there was a right click option on maps and layout to open, instead of add and  open, and an option to save that map as the same file it was opened from. In other words, I'm reading and writing to a mapx file and not bringing it through the aprx pipes and levers.  I'm aware that there is a Share Map and Share Layout Dialogue, and no, Portal is not a solution for this as we do not publish every single feature class we work with as a feature service, and never will.  Adding to this, I feel like I should be able to right click on a mapx in cat view and paste it to any folder as well, not just a project folder (which I can't do). Not can I drag a mapx file to another folder..... ... View more

In Pro, I know I can open up maps and layouts in the order that I want them in, but that rarely lasts, and I find myself, in general, wanting to move maps and layouts around in the top thingamajigger so I just "see and click" to switch between a map and layout. Sure would be handy if the Drop Down Doohickey allowed one to "drag" maps and layouts, so I can arrange items in the topthingamajigger the way that I want. (No, dragging them sideways really doesn't work well). My idea is that mouse-over the icon would invoke the drag up or down behavior....mouse over the text is what opens it.   In order to compel more upvotes, here's the idea in the context of Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - YouTube    ESRI, I know you'll listen The next version put this in I said ya, well What am I supposed to do Drag my maps is what I'm telling you So you think this is a great idea Pro causes me hyperpnea Start draggin' my Start draggin' my Start draggin' my MAP around ...
