@DuncanHornby, since Esri only supports a few versions in that drop-down list, one would have no idea if a tool was introduced in 3.1, 3.0, 2.9, 2.8, etc....  All someone could tell from the drop-down list is whether it already existed in version 3.2. ... View more

Since different versions of products have different versions of requirements, and even different requirements entirely at times, it is best to state the version you are using.  Also, ArcGIS Server itself doesn't have any .NET requirements, the .NET Extension Support feature of ArcGIS Server does, but that feature only has to be installed if you are using .NET-based server object extensions (SOEs) and server object interceptors (SOIs). ...

Given how straightforward writing a simple URL redirect rule is on IIS or Java web servers, I doubt Esri will invest the effort to add this functionality.  My organization deploys numerous IIS URL rewrite rules to block access to certain functionalities on our external web adaptors, e.g., preventing generating a token to access an authenticated service. ...

"Enterprise 11.x" covers 5 versions, so making general statements about software requirements should be avoided since requirements can, and have, changed over 2 1/2 years. No version of ArcGIS 11.x requires any version of .NET unless one is using Server Object Extensions (SOEs) and Server Object Interceptors (SOIs) and has installed the .NET Extension Support feature.  If that feature is not installed, talking .NET versions is moot. For the .NET Extension Support feature, ArcGIS 11.0, 11.1, and 11.2 depend on .NET 6 while ArcGIS 11.3 and 11.4 depend on .NET 8.  Given ArcGIS 11.2 is a short-term support release, and ArcGIS 11.1 enters Extended Support in May 2025, I would not expect Esri to make any big changes to those releases at this point. ...

Looking at the documentation, Geometry objects | ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers An open circular arc is represented by the c property. This is defined by an end point and an interior point. { "c": [ [<x>, <y>, <z>, <m>], [<interior_x>, <interior_y>] ]} It appears that the interior point of a circular arc cannot specify a Z or M value, only the end point can.  The same behavior with center points and control points exists for elliptic arcs and bezier curves. ...

I thought I have stated the following somewhere on Esri Community, but I can't find it right now, so I will excerpt one of my response on GIS StackExchange:  arcgis desktop - Calculate Sequential Values based on Boolean field - GIS SE. Looking to the section of the SQL standard that defines the behavior of cursors, ISO/IEC CD 9075-2 Information technology — Database languages — SQL — Part 2: Foundation (SQL/Foundation), it clearly states (at least through SQL:99 that I have seen in person, but I assume the same language exists in later editions): When the ordering of a cursor is not defined by an <order by clause>, the relative position of two rows is implementation-dependent. The importance of that statement can't be emphasized enough. Without including an explicit SQL ORDER BY clause, the user is leaving the order of records returned in a cursor up to the application or database management system. In this specific situation with ArcGIS Pro, Esri does not document how Calculate Field constructs the underlying SQL used to create the cursor. Additionally, many DBMSs explicitly state that no consistent ordering is guaranteed without including a SQL ORDER BY clause. For example, from Microsoft SQL Server SELECT - ORDER BY Clause (Transact-SQL): The order in which rows are returned in a result set are not guaranteed unless an ORDER BY clause is specified. With vendors either not documenting their ordering rules or saying no order is guaranteed without a SQL ORDER BY clause, a user can't know for certain the order ahead of time, and worse, the order may change over time even for the same data set. If one wants or expects a certain order of records, the only way to guarantee it is by using a SQL ORDER BY clause.  For file geodatabases, the unspecified order commonly is by ObjectID, but Esri has never stated that is a guarantee so they feel no need to share the internal mechanics of what may change row ordering in a FGDB table. ...

Thorough response, nice.  (Assuming generative AI didn't do it for you, but then maybe I should be impressed if it did) ... View more

@MarkZollinger, I made changes to the idea to focus on adding the information directly to the tool page itself like licensing information.  Please change the status of this idea since it isn't offered as now proposed. ... View more

The ArcPy Geometry constructors do not support true curves of any kind.  You will need to use AsShape—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation and feed it an Esri JSON definition based on the syntax from the 'Curve objects' section of Geometry objects | ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers ... View more

Although Esri supports "*" for fields with ArcPy DA cursors, they did so reluctantly, and it is a bad practice.  You should always explicitly list the fields in a cursor, then you always know the order regardless of the order of the fields in the table. ... View more

While ArcGIS Desktop/ArcMap was licensed at the machine level, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM), ArcGIS Pro is licensed at the user level, HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU).  The ArcGIS Pro license for a user can inherit from a machine-level setting if configured correctly before the user ever launches ArcGIS Pro, but it gets a little trickier once a user has launched ArcGIS Pro at least once, which is the case here. I have mentioned "user" multiple times, that is because what is important isn't what settings you have for Pro when logged into the IIS server but what settings the credentials running IIS or IIS application pools have for ArcGIS Pro.  Since you have not provided any details about your IIS and application configuration, I can't offer any specifics.  Your issue is in the registry. ...

For clarification after looking at your video, the layer isn't failing to draw, it is failing to load.  A layer has to load before it can draw, and nothing shows up in your TOC so it isn't loading. You state the provider shifted from ArcGIS Server to GeoServer, but every HTTP call I see in the logs is for an ArcGIS product, so I don't even see any attempts to connect to a GeoServer service. Your question makes it seem like there are multiple basemaps that aren't loading, can you provide the URLs for some that do and some that don't?   ... View more
