Given how old this idea is, I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more votes and views. This is a major issue that is only going to get worse with time as more and more features are introduced into AGOL. Even at 10.7.1, my Portal is not in sync with the latest AGOL update. Why is this a big deal? Many reasons: I can't use distributed collaboration with newer apps that aren't supported in Portal; my end users get confused between why they can do certain things in AGOL and not Portal; and as an administrator, I have to keep on top of the changes in both platforms and wait patiently to do something in Portal that I know is possible in AGOL. What scares me even more is the future... what happens when AGOL introduces the new web map viewer later this year? According to a presentation I went to at the UC, the new map viewer won't be in Portal for at least two more releases. This means a completely separate experience for making maps in AGOL versus Portal for years and no ability for distributed collaboration with these maps. It's also frustrating as a mainly Portal user to have to wait so long for functionality that exists in AGOL. I know that the reasoning is complex, but I'd love for the Enterprise and AGOL teams to really sit down and think about the future and how they can get these two products in sync. Maybe an easier Enterprise upgrade where you can upgrade just Portal? I don't know, but something needs to change.

I just wanted to provide some information to the community after experiencing some major struggles with my 10.6.1 to 10.7.1 upgrade. This is just one of the major issues faced, but the fix is easy to describe for someone who may experience the same thing. I have a base deployment on a single machine that is a reverse proxy server (deployed in our DMZ). After upgrading to 10.7.1., my SAML authenticated logins and all of my configurable applications (Operations Dashboard, Time Aware, Compare Analysis, etc) except those built with WebApp Builder would not work. No one without built-in accounts could login to the Portal, and we could not view or create any applications from app templates. After doing some digging, I noticed that my SAML metadata file had changed after the upgrade to point to the internal machine name URL instead of the public-facing web adaptor URL. After debugging the application websites that weren't working, I found that they had a similar problem: resources were failing to load because they were pointing to the internal URL and not the web adaptor. It was obvious that this was caused by the upgrade, but the Enterprise tech support was unable to find a solution before I did (configurable apps and SAML are not within the scope of the upgrade specialists). I was able to talk to someone at Professional Services that provided the final fix. Though we installed and validated everything correctly during the upgrade, for some reason the internal machine name was propagated to various points within the software install instead of the public web adaptor URL. To fix this, you need to navigate to your portaladmin page, then click system, then properties. Update the properties by configuring and pasting the following code (note: my web adaptor is named arcgis): {"WebContextURL":"https://webadaptorpublicURL/arcgis","privatePortalURL":"https://internalmachineURL:7443/arcgis"} Click update properties to restart the Portal, and the issue should be fixed. Hope this helps someone! I was frantically googling and didn't find much on Geonet or Esri Resources directly related to upgrades and the machine name/web adaptor URL being swapped.

I've been playing around with the new Report functionality in Pro. I'm used to building reports in SQL Server Reporting Services so maybe I am just expecting too much in Pro, but it seems like there are very minimal options for being able to customize the report. Maybe I am missing something, but is there no way to have the report details (attributes) boxes grow or shrink based on the amount of text? For example, my report links to a feature class that has a narrative field. Sometimes the narrative is a lengthy description of an incident (a few paragraphs), sometimes not (single line description). How can I ensure that the report text boxes grow/shrink appropriately? If I make the text box in the Details section really big, then I can assume most of the lengthy narratives will all be shown. However, I can't guarantee a really really long description would display. Doing this also makes the report have a ton of unnecessary white space for the records that have minimal text and makes the report look really silly. I guess I'm looking for something more "responsive" that can grow/shrink based on the data. Another question/comment is: when I was creating the report, I checked the boxes for the majority of fields in my data set to be shown on the report (17 fields). The report generated with only 6 fields displaying, and some extra space where more could have been added. Is 6 the max? It looks like I can copy/paste new fields into the report, but this is also pretty clunky to do. Lastly - is there a way to add a Map to the report? It would be nice if a map in my Pro Project displayed on the Report Cover page underneath the title. This way someone could look at the map (I'm envisioning having point locations labeled 1-N on the map) and then see the details for each location in the report.

It depends - for the most common use case it would be 6 different views per feature service (one for each of our police districts/crime analysts) and each view would hide features. Most likely each analyst would create their own view of a countywide dataset that shows features for their district only, and there are use cases where they would also want their own symbology. This would allow them to only use/see a much smaller and more manageable subset of the full data but retain a near real-time version since it is registered with the EGDB.

Hi Danny, The Portal was upgraded to 10.6.1 but this was an issue at 10.6 also (10.6 was a fresh installation). When I go to the link you sent using my username, the SAML-linked Portal group is NOT listed under my User Groups. However, in the Portal, I can see the SAML-linked Portal group under "My Organization's Groups". The group is set to Private (only viewable by group members) so in theory if I wasn't in the group, wouldn't I not be able to see it? Side note: I did not create the group with my username so owning it is not the reason I can see it. I also took a look the group page at https://<portalfqdn>/<webadaptor>/sharing/rest/community/groups/<samlgroupname>. It lists Provider as "enterprise" and has the correct SAML group listed as the provider group name. However, when I click on Group Users, only the owner is listed as a user. If it's easier we could continue this offline and I could show you screenshots, etc - up to you. I appreciate the help, I'd really love to get this resolved especially if it has nothing to do with the Bug. Shelby

They (tech support) seemed to think that is the problem?! I certainly hope it is. The groups are based on SAML role membership. And yes we technically could bypass the defect but I work for a very large organization and it would impact much more than just me, so my IT department will not make the change.

Danny - I meant to update this post. I recently came to a resolution with tech support. There is a bug on Esri's end that requests SAML:1.1 for the nameid instead of SAML:2.0. Hoping it gets fixed soon! For anyone interested, it's BUG-000114084. Shelby

I've had a ticket with Esri for the past few months trying to figure this out, but wanted to throw it out to the community to see if anyone else is having the same problem. I have Portal 10.6.1 and am trying to create Portal groups that are tied to enterprise SAML-based groups. I've followed all instructions here Create groups—Portal for ArcGIS (10.6) | ArcGIS Enterprise under the SAML-based IDP section, but still can't get it to work. Here's what happens: I create a group in my Portal (e.g. "Test Group") and set it to only be able to be joined by Members of an Enterprise Group. I type the name exactly of my SAML-based enterprise group (e.g. "SAML_Test_Group") to link to "Test Group". My enterprise username is a member of "SAML_Test_Group", so in theory I should be able to log into the Portal, see the "Test Group", and be able to share content into it. Here's where the problem is. I can see the "Test Group", but I cannot share any content into it. I've tried adjusting every group setting possible, and also have had many other people try a similar workflow. On the SAML side of things, our IT group sees the SAML assertions when I access the group, so I think everything is working properly on that side of things. I think it's in the Portal where something is going wrong. I've been going back and forth with Esri tech support unsuccessfully for a few months. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? Or is it working for you? I've searched GeoNet and can't find anything related. Thanks!

Thomas - have you happened to try this with Pro 2.2.1? I'm wondering if I should attempt to upgrade to see if it might have been "fixed". I'm still running Beta 2.1 because I don't want to break it.

Thanks. My DBA is doing some tracing on his end to see if it's related to the views too. Server is on one machine, Database is on another, Pro is on my desktop PC. Unfortunately since the servers are in the DMZ I do not have access to the Server or Database machines. I'll only be able to test anything related to these machines as a last resort with my IT team. However - I'm having absolutely no issues displaying the views in Pro on my machine, they load immediately, even ones with 3,000 features. The issue is only when they are published to the Portal.

So - the views are made of up datasets coming from multiple datasets/databases. In my enterprise geodatabase, some of the views are views of views on other servers... e.g., Select * from [View on one Database] as [New view in Enterprise Geodatabase]. I have issues regardless of whether they are views directly from the data sources or views of views. I need to check w/ our DBA to see if indexes are built on the data sources. That's one thing Esri was interested in. BUT -- the views all display lightening fast in Pro which makes me think that their performance isn't part of the problem. Also - the very first service that I created from one of these views a couple weeks ago has no performance issues, it's just every one I've tried since then that is having a problem. I also tried to create a true feature class inside the geodatabase (polygon - 3 simple features, nothing related to a database view), and even those 3 polygons had a serious lag in Portal. As for the Return Count Only query - I instantaneously do get the actual count expected, both for the service with only 100 features and for one of my larger ones with 2600. Thanks again for your help.

Also I should note that it does eventually draw, but if I zoom out again or pan around it has to re-load. The lag is definitely too long to expect someone to wait if they were using this in an application. Especially since this server is only 100 features and there are others that are closer to 2 or 3,000 that I need to use as well.
