For some reason I named my AGOL username as <oldemail>.  Now that email has been replaced, and I want to change the username to something more current - <newusername>.  Unfortunately changing usernames is not permitted.  So I have been instructed by tech support to 1) create a new account with new name. 2) transfer content from outdated email-named account to the new account. 3) remove old account.  Apologies if terminology is incorrect.  This is all within one organizational account, and the members within it.  My worry is...I have 3 years worth of content --> something bad will happen to some content.  Let's say all the content solely contains content owned by <oldemail> user and will be transfered to <newusername> user.  Does anybody envision any issues with this workflow?   thanks, Zach ...

Fundamentally confused.  I made a Python Script Toolbox with multiple tools (hopefully proper terminology):   Each tool works fine, and the basic Python code/structure is as shown below.  NOTE! I am only showing one of the Tools (metadata_mcm) and not update_attr or xml_element_csv_creator - but they are the same in basic structure.  Skip to my questions below before diving into code.   class Toolbox(object): def __init__(self): """Define the toolbox (the name of the toolbox is the name of the .pyt file).""" self.label = "Toolbox" self.alias = "toolbox" # List of tool classes associated with this toolbox self.tools = [metadata_mcm, create_xml_element_csv, update_attr] class ToolValidator(object): """Class for validating a tool's parameter values and controlling the behavior of the tool's dialog.""" def __init__(self): """Setup arcpy and the list of tool parameters.""" self.params = arcpy.GetParameterInfo() def initializeParameters(self): """Refine the properties of a tool's parameters. This method is called when the tool is opened.""" return def updateParameters(self): """Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal validation is performed. This method is called whenever a parameter has been changed.""" return def updateMessages(self): """Modify the messages created by internal validation for each tool parameter. This method is called after internal validation.""" self.params[1].clearMessage() if self.params[1].value is None: self.params[1].clearMessage() else: if os.path.exists(self.params[1]): self.params[1].setErrorMessage('output path already exists') else: self.params[1].clearMessage() return class create_xml_element_csv(object): def __init__(self): self.label = "xml element csv creator" self.desciption = "create inventory of xml elements relevant to fields" self.canRunInBackground = False def getParameterInfo(self): """Define parameter definitions""" param0 = arcpy.Parameter( displayName="Input Feature", name="fc_in", datatype="Layer", parameterType="Required", direction="Input") param1 = arcpy.Parameter( displayName="Path/to/file.csv", name="fp_csv", datatype="DEFile", parameterType="Required", direction="Input") params = [] params.append(param0) params.append(param1) return params def isLicensed(self): """Set whether tool is licensed to execute.""" return True def updateParameters(self, parameters): """Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal validation is performed. This method is called whenever a parameter has been changed.""" return def updateMessages(self, parameters): """Modify the messages created by internal validation for each tool parameter. This method is called after internal validation.""" def execute(self, parameters, messages): """The source code of the tool.""" fc = parameters[0] desc = arcpy.Describe(fc) fp_fc = desc.featureClass.catalogPath fp_csv = parameters[1].valueAsText st0, st1 = os.path.splitext(fp_csv) # csv if st1 == '.csv': pass else: fp_csv = '{}.csv'.format(fp_csv) flds = [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(fp_fc)] vals = np.column_stack([flds, [None] * len(flds), [None] * len(flds), [None] * len(flds)]) # attrdef = definition # attrdefs = definition source cn = ['attrlabl', 'attralias', 'attrdef', 'attrdefs'] df_fields = pd.DataFrame(vals, columns=cn) df_fields.to_csv(fp_csv) return   I don't understand a couple things: 1) Can the ToolValidator Class work with multiple tools?  It's odd that I have essentially hard-coded the paramaters positionally in updateMessages for ALL subsequent tools.  I want to ensure that the output file does not exist prior to running tool.  This is argument 1 for create_xml_element_csv but doesn't exist for the two other tools.  So can I create a ToolValidator Class and only apply the validation to one tool in the toolbox? 2) Is my syntax within ToolValidator/updateMessages method correct?  Found this syntax from a StackExchange response. The tools run BUT the validation of if os.path.exists(self.params[1]): self.params[1].setErrorMessage('output path already exists') is not being performed.  I can pass an argument of a path that exists, and no warming is issued, tool overwrites the existing file.  No bueno.

I'm pretty low-maintenance, but at this point it's worth the 15 minutes to google, ESRI Forum, strike out, then create this post.  How do I change the "Pinned" ( for lack of a non-Windows term) folders when opening a new project? "Open another Project" button shows this:      I have no idea how these got set.  I want to remove them and add new Favorites. Thanks, Zach Pro 3.0.2 ... View more

I'm confused.  I got a new work email.  I updated the email associated with my named user account using ArcGIS Online, and then yes, verified it.  But my profile still displays [my name | old email] in the yellow box in the lower left under Users.  Ditto for in my profile on AGOL, etc.  Note that the account I am using now is my personal account.  I cannot find a way to change that??  Seems like this should have automatically updated and/or have a simple solution. ...

Dusted off a project from a few months ago. Pretty minimal interaction - fixed some broken paths in preparation to share as Project Package (ppkx).  Hit Analyze and Errors emerge -  "00001 Map does not have layers".   The errors are not really the issue.                      The errors referred to maps that are NOT present in the Catalog.  I cannot find them, delete them, open them via the catalog. I can click "Select Map in The Contents Pane" and the map opens up. I strongly suspect it's because upon opening the project today, I had to agree to format it for Pro 3.0.2 (my current version). This project was created and save in Ver. 2.  I've never seen this before.  Seems to be a bug?  BTW, the maps are in the project: aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") m = [m.name for m in aprx.listMaps()] m # Prints 5 map names, including the two from the error message # and the three in the catalog   Help please?  Zach    ...
