Not to get hung up on semantics, but the title and description say "Search Cursor" but the code says "UpdateCursor".  I assume the code is correct? ... View more

I updated the code in my original post, try it out and let me know. ... View more

If you want to run a cursor against the selected records then pass itemsToRetire to the cursor since it is a table view or layer (depends on data source) that has the records selected. ... View more

When you say "it fails to access the services," what exactly is happening?  Giving specific error types and codes is helpful. ... View more

It is best to keep a post to a single question because asking multiple questions in the same post tends to make the comments a mess when some people will reply to one question, some to the other, and some to both.  These two questions are closely related enough one could argue it is just one question, but please keep this in mind for future questions. Regarding your first question of Get Count, it is expected behavior.  As its name states, Select Layer By Attribute works on layers, not data sets.  Somewhere back a few years ago, Esri decided to augment Select Layer By Attribute to accept an input data set and it will create a layer, select on it, and return it.  This is what is happening in your case.  When you use Get Count on the data set directly, it is returning the total number of records on the data set, which is should. ...

Esri seldom share this information ahead of time, unless it is maybe a couple or few days away.  That said, one can make a reasonable guess now that ArcGIS Enterprise has jettisoned support for the ArcMap runtime and ArcGIS Pro has a more frequent release cycle.   Since ArcGIS Enterprise contains the ArcGIS Pro runtime, the releases of ArcGIS Enterprise seem to be getting closer to releases for ArcGIS Pro.  I suspect April release, May at the latest. ...

Comments like "that didn't work" aren't helpful.  If there was an error, what exactly was the error, and provide a traceback if one exists.  If there was no error but the results are unexpected, state what you expected and what you got. ... View more

I can't say I have seen documentation specifically addressing that question, but I have never seen ArcGIS Server change a certificate on its own, i.e., I have always seen it stick with the expired certificate if that is the certificate it is told to use. ... View more

@CharmiPatel21, welcome to Esri Community.  Esri Community is a great resource for Esri users to learn about ArcGIS products, and what helps users learn is providing documentation or references to documentation when talking about good, bad, or any time of practices. The certificate that ArcGIS Server, Portal, etc... use is explicitly specified as a machine-level setting (webServerCertificateAlias) in Edit Machine—ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers.  Whether there is 1 certificate, 2 certificates, or 10 certificates on the machine; it is only the one specified in the property that is used by ArcGIS so leaving the original self-signed certificate does not create any risk of confusion for the software. ...

It would help if you provided a bit more information.  It sounds like you are talking about an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment with portal and federated ArcGIS Servers (as opposed to stand-alone ArcGIS Server), correct?  When an ArcGIS Server is federated with a portal, the authentication goes through the portal except for the built-in PSA account.  The portal provides a token to use with the federated ArcGIS Server, you don't login directly to AGS with portal credentials.  What REST calls specifically are you using? ...

Although referring to earthquakes and not subsidence, the same abbreviations are used:  Peak ground acceleration - Wikipedia During an earthquake, ground acceleration is measured in three directions: vertically (V or UD, for up-down) and two perpendicular horizontal directions (H1 and H2), often north–south (NS) and east–west (EW). Sigma is the uncertainty around the value. ... View more

If one is working with SQL Server geometry data type, it does conform to OGC Simple Features 1.1.0 and SQL MM.  From Spatial Data Types Overview - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn There are two types of spatial data. The geometry data type supports planar, or Euclidean (flat-earth), data. The geometry data type both conforms to the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Simple Features for SQL Specification version 1.1.0 and is compliant with SQL MM (ISO standard). I believe the issue you are running into is less about how the geometry object is stored and more about differing geometry models.  Esri has its own geometry model that is not a one-to-one match with the OGC geometry model.  Looking at Check Geometry (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation After a feature's geometry is repaired using the OGC option, any subsequent edit or modification may cause the geometry to no longer comply with the OGC specification. This statement exists because Esri tools operate based on the Esri geometry model, and since the Esri geometry model isn't exactly the OGC geometry model, taking an OGC compliant geometry and processing it with Esri tools may result in a non-OGC compliant geoemtry. Even if this was a geometry data type storage issue, which I don't believe it is, implementing this idea would involve Esri creating their own spatial data type in SQL Server, which is not a trivial effort.  ...

In the Admin API page, there is a "Choose File" button.  That button isn't about giving ArcGIS Server the path to the file on your machine, which it can't do anything with anyways, that button is actually uploading the contents of the file in the browser session so that when you hit Submit the file contents can be sent. ...
