Suggest you give an upvote and use case to ArcGIS Pro Help should start showing version numbers (e.g. 1.0-2.1.2) . ESRI is under the impression that you upgraded to 2.2 the day it was released, and will continue to upgrade to the latest version 3-4 times per year with every SP and version change (https://community.esri.com/thread/217032-what-happened-to-the-online-21x-help?sr=inbox ).  ...

I tried to repro this in 2.2: I moved 5 points all on top of each other, selected them, Right Click Only Select This, Modify, Move, and it only moved 1 out of the 5 points. Additionally, if I just click on the point, it only moves the "top" one. I would try upgrading to 2.2.... ... View more

Just that one service? Are you able to publish it again, but with a different service name, and same error? If yes to both, the problem is with your data. Need more details on your set up, where the data is, versions, DB flavor, etc..also, it appears you're not using https. Not sure how you're set up, but not using https causes a lot of quirky mysteries in Arc GIS Server.  ... View more

set logging to debug and try again. Also, how is the data being referenced? From an SDE, PTL Hosted Data Store, non-federated server data store, FGDB on a network share? I'm thinking you have a permission problem somewhere.  ... View more

No, because with temporal data, you're not creating "keyframes" and "positioning cameras". The bits and pieces that would be considered the "animation" are just the raster (or feature) that changes with time, and in Arc, the Export Movie tool just exports the data frame sequentially and then stitches them together. Never was impressed with that tool, so I prefer to use the python method which allows me to export to a higher quality JPEG then use my favorite Adobe software, or anything really, to stitch them into a movie. Neither workflow appears to be available in Pro.  ... View more

This case finally closed, there were a lot of issues found but ultimately the issue causing the problem was a configuration error (Configure your portal to use a reverse proxy server—Portal for ArcGIS (10.6) | ArcGIS Enterprise ). Two bugs originated out of this BUG-000114839 Overwriting an existing service from a federated ArcGIS Server instance from ArcGIS Pro fails and BUG-000115083 When viewing the catalog window in ArcGIS Pro. Double clicking in the name field of an offline feature service causes all text after the @ symbol to disappear (because in our environment, the grandchild version name is getting an @ character after the user name) Rendering the local child un-usable as it cannot sync back to its parent. We spent a lot of time reviewing the disconnected editing workflow using Pro and versioned feature classes, and came to the stunning but "by design" discovery: When a non DBO created a child version from Default, and publishes a feature service from it, any offline edits to that feature service in Pro will create a grand-child version. Upon sync and remove, the editor will then be reverted back to child version (the one driving the feature service). No dispute as to how the versioning workflow works, but what do you think those editors are going to do? "Crap, my edits didn't take! Let me do that again.....". But wait, it gets better. So no disputing that one has to reconcile and post grand children to children for those deltas to hit the feature service. Well-documented behavior. But guess what? Only the DBO (sysadmin) can do that! Because.........the service account running the GIS server/Ptl is the owner of the grandchildren, not the person that created the child off of default....unless....the child version is changed to public, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of versioning (you know, so no one else messes with my data....). In a nationwide application with potentially hundreds of editors and several children of default telling folks that "Pro is better!" doesn't carry a lot of weight.  Sure, we can python automate the rec and post process, but call me old-fashioned, the point of rec and post is to see where conflicts pop up and make human decisions about how to resolve them (like when the editor whom correctly inferred their edits didn't take downloads and edits the same offline feature service 3 times).  Thanks to tech support, they got a lot of folks involved that had "Engineer" in their title.  FWIW, Offline Editing in Pro where your stuff isn't versioned still blows Arc Map out of the water and has the added side benefit of making the same data mobile-editing-ready. Think I'll stick to non-versioned feature classes and just eat it on data quality and protection.  ... View more

So  Create a multidimensional mosaic dataset from a set of time series images—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop turned out to be easy enough, but to answer this question, as far as I can tell, no, you can't do this in Pro. I ran into two problems: The "Export to Video" tool is missing from the Time Ribbon (and slider) in Pro, and as it turns out you can't access the time property of the data frame (as far as I can tell) https://community.esri.com/thread/217460-does-pro-py-have-a-method-to-access-the-time-property-in-a-time-enabled-layer . The time slider and animation performance was far better than in Arc for 100+ rasters, but Pro is somewhat useless if I can't export the results. However, I may not just be finding the right button to export, and it's buried in some right-click context menu.  ... View more
