It is also happening with oracle but not all the time. We have 122 Open data layers that we export daily through Pro/Python script run through a windows batch file. All but a handful of them work and previous to a week ago all have worked. We have run in to this before but could manually run overwrite the webservice out of ArcPro but now we get the fairly useless ERROR 999999: message even when manually trying to update the hosted features. The other 118 still work both manually and through the script. The log gives no extra information. We are using: Windows server 2012 R2 ArcPro 2.5 Oracle 12C ArcGIS 10.7 geodatabase We have done all the suggestions from all posts I could find (see below). Most suggestions also assume that it hasn't been working for months before suddenly getting this error. Works fine on roughly 118 or 122 hosted services that are updated through same method/script Has worked for months all arcpro documents are in same folder location on the local machine data all from same geodatabase, same db owner Connected as database owner same AGOL user and hosted folder, share setting etc  tried to a new hosted layer - no luck have pro pointing to local directories for it's processing rebooted machine Lots of room on local comuter tried coping layers to new map > no luck deleted temp files file path is not too long, working ones have longer names plus it worked previously No analyze errors Also checked geometry checked symbology No new domains No relationship classes feature class size, one Display field in Pro is valid using default python environment in Pro Used fiddler while trying to publish. Nothing pops out  SDDraft is created in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Staging\My Hosted Services (NAME) Possible problem with creating index (no log.txt in Maps>index>LAYER folder) > rebuilt indexes > no change Missing  publishingResults.json in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Staging\SharingProcesses\<Job ID>\ and found missing the publishingResults.json  Is it actually failing on Consolidate data?  vs Staging is set to E:\ArcGISPro\Staging\SharingProcess but it is putting it in  C:\Users\adminsde\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Staging\SharingProcesses It would be nice if Esri would add all of these checks and what ever else is making it fail to the analyze tool so we can understand what the issue is or give better error messages when things don't work. Any other suggestions of what to try are welcome. ... View more

I totally agree. We were using tracking layers for several apps only to have to apologize to staff that they no longer work. Worse still what is supposed to be replaced with doesn't really exist outside of demos at conferences. On top of that we are on an ELA so have to purchase tracker up until the end of our ELA and then negotiate to have it included in the renewal. It is great that Esri has ELAs but what is the point if they randomly remove functionality and them make you pay for a re-imagined version of what we just lost. I would be happy to pay for something new that I need but in this case what was offered worked for us and now we are being asked to pay for functionality we don't need and complexity we don't want (if we use the enterprise version portal/data store/track viewer). We had a simple workflow: tracks are created as a tracking layer in AGOL daily and them imported each night in to our geodatabase. Yearly tracks are removed from AGOL. Very simple, users only need to use one app. Is there any documentation comparing functionality, restrictions, costs and data model of Tracker for AGOL vs Tracker for Portal? We have several questions about how to export the tracks to our current geodatabase layer and how easy it is to truncate the tracks from AGOL or Portal periodically.  The way the tracking layer was removed and tracker was released was very poorly executed.  ...

Charging extra for tracker is total BS. We are long time Esri users on on a ELA. We were using tracking in ArcCollector just fine up to the new version which doesn't support it anymore. Tracker has not automatically been included in our ELA so we have to wait to negotiate it the next time we renew or purchase outside the ELA? What is the point of an ELA when working functionality is replaced with something that is not included. Same thing happened with ArcGIS Monitor except it's pricing is hugely out of whack. It's a great product but most of us GIS types just want to monitor our services with it and not use it as a network monitoring solution which it is priced as. Esri has increased the complexity of the servers with portal and have taken away the piece to monitor it with. So frustrating. ... View more

Please create a proper executable instead of the AppxBundle. The entire program should be able to be installed using the install files. The windows store is too flakey and involved between firewalls, security group permissions, azure active directory connections and side loading is not an option for many organizations. Please just release it as a proper program and not an app for windows. Please up vote this idea to make a proper install for Collector on Windows 10 https://community.esri.com/ideas/12845-make-collector-for-arcgis-on-windows-10-available-for-download-directly-from-esri ...

The options seems to have been removed, is there a new way of doing this? ... View more

Here is an article sent to me from Esri (but not Esri supported) about installing these bundles on Windows 10 that may help: https://www.howtogeek.com/285410/how-to-install-.appx-or-.appxbundle-software-on-windows-10/ As well the newest version currently is 18.0.2 and it can be found on Esri Downloads  ...

We ended up adding a loop to look for an exact match. I still think you should be able to just have a search function return an exact match directly.  # Find the SD, update it, publish /w overwrite and set sharing and metadata print("Search for original SD on portal…") #Check that it found the correct layer match=0 layerno = 0 while (match == 0): sdItem = gis.content.search(query="title:"+ sd_fs_name + " AND owner: " + user, item_type="Service Definition")[layerno] foundlayer = sdItem.title if foundlayer == sd_fs_name: match = 1 print("Layer Returned: " + foundlayer + " vs " + sd_fs_name) else: match = 0 layerno = layerno + 1 print("Layer Returned: " + foundlayer + " vs " + sd_fs_name + " Index No: " + str(layerno)) #sdItem = gis.content.search("title:{} AND owner:{}".format(sd_fs_name, user), item_type="Service Definition")[0] sdItem = gis.content.search(query="title:"+ sd_fs_name + " AND owner: " + user, item_type="Service Definition")[layerno] print ("Search title:{} AND owner:{}".format(sd_fs_name, user)) print("Found SD: {}, ID: {} n Uploading and overwriting…".format(sdItem.title, sdItem.id)) sdItem.update(item_properties={'tags': itemtags, 'snippet': itemsummary, 'accessInformation': itemcredit}, data=sd, thumbnail=itemThumbnail) print("Overwriting existing feature service...") fs = sdItem.publish(overwrite=True) if shrOrg or shrEveryone or shrGroups: print("Setting sharing options…") fs.share(org=shrOrg, everyone=shrEveryone, groups=shrGroups) rundate=datetime.datetime.now() print("Updated: {} – ID: {}".format(fs.title, fs.id)," at " + rundate.isoformat()) ...
