I think this is impossible to implement.  Currently the Select Layer By Attribute tool is a SQL clause builder, and the available conditions in the drop down all map to standard SQL operators that nearly every data provider supports: SQL operator = is equal to <> is not equal to < is less than <= is less than or equal to > is greater than >= is greater than or equal to [NOT] LIKE begins with does not begin with ends with does not end with contains the text does not contain the text [NOT] IN includes the value(s) does not include the value(s) IS [NOT] NULL is null is not null When you go outside the common SQL operators above, the implementation of a given operator starts to vary widely across data provider, to the point of not being supported at all.  Additionally, all of the common SQL operators above operate on a given row where finding duplicates requires looking beyond a given row to an entire dataset itself. There are numerous ways to find duplicates via SQL, and someone can always write custom SQL in Select By Attributes, but that requires knowing what the underlying data provider supports for SQL. I understand the convenience factor of having such an option, but I just don't see it implementable without completely refactoring the tool. ... View more

Have you tried anything yet?  Which part of translating arcpy.mapping code to arcpy.mp are you stuck on?  I would start with Migrating from arcpy.mapping to ArcGIS Pro - ArcGIS Pro | Documentation, it has good code examples to at least get you to opening a specific map. ... View more

I just tested the text template in Pro 3.3, and it works fine for me.  Without more details about the exact workflow/steps you took to testing the expression, I can't offer anything else. ... View more

The OP's comment was more about the poor performance of shared instances after warm-up compared to dedicated instances, so raising the minimum instances of the dedicated instances that are already performing better isn't going to change anything. ... View more

The change was forced because of a Windows system limitation that prevents Portable Executable (PE) files, which include self-extracting ZIP archives, from being larger than 4 GB.  When the contents of a self-extracting ZIP archive get larger than 4 GB, a sidecar file has to be used. See 64 bit - what is the maximum size of a PE file on 64-bit Windows? - Stack Overflow for a bit of discussion on the topic.  ... View more

If these are virtual desktops, why not deploy an ArcGIS License Manager on the same network as the machines hosting the desktops and use Concurrent Use licensing?  Are you simply uninstalling and re-installing ArcGIS Pro or are the desktops being completely rebuilt every 6 months?  If the former, the license will be usable after the new version of Pro is installed because the Single Use license is held by the local license service and not Pro application itself. ...

You also didn't say your input data source.  If the source is a web-GIS layer, then it may have nothing to do with writing the data out but everything to do with reading the data set over the web. ... View more

As I commented to your question over at GIS SE:  arcpy - Describe Field Name? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange. According to Field - ArcGIS Pro | Documentation, "Field properties can be accessed through the ListFields and Describe functions." If you already have a Describe object for a layer, e.g., desc = arcpy.Describe(layer), retrieving the fields property will return a list of Field objects: desc.fields. ... View more

@HannesZiegler, thanks for the update.  I am not sure if there is an existing separate idea or not, but it would be great to add additional Python data structures to what can be used with the ArcPy Data Access cursors.  The default would have to remain the same to maintain compatibility but having a parameter/flag for returning SearchCursor records as named tuples and similar would be great. ...

What logging level are you speaking about?  Are you saying that at DEBUG level it takes ArcGIS Server a minute or more before it starts logging events?  I don't see that on any of my organization's deployments. ... View more

Make sure that WebView and ArcGIS Pro are both installed either Per-Machine or Per-User.  If you install WebView as one and try to install ArcGIS Pro as the other, you will get an error. ... View more

It is a quote in that linked page that gets to the heart of the issue: Older ArcGIS clients can open, query, edit, and save data in newer release geodatabases, but they cannot open datasets that participate in newer functionality. You will encounter the following error messages when you try to access a newer type of dataset from an older ArcGIS client: The version of the Geodatabase client is incompatible with the dataset and cannot open it. Failed to add data, unsupported data type. First, that is not the error message one receives when accessing tables or feature classes with new functionality in file geodatabases.  The actual error message is more verbose and yet less helpful in understanding what is actually happening. That quotes leads back to my question/issue, what tools are readily avaialble for an organization to determine compatibility beforehand?  Simply having users try and get an error message isn't a very enterprise-y way of going about it, not to mention the time it wastes. ...

@RyanUthoff, if you use GDAL at all, you might be interested in reading my answer to qgis - How to tell file geodatabase&#39; version using open source tools? - GIS SE where I give ogrinfo code for querying the RequiredGeodatabaseClientVersion for objects in a geodatabase.   ... View more
