Are the data sources stored locally on your computer or a shared network drive? ... View more

When asking about data management-related issues, it is helpful to state what the back-end data source is because whether something is a shape file vs file geodatabase vs enterprise geodatabase can make a difference. ... View more

What is the context?  Is this for labeling, visualization, analysis, etc...?  Knowing the context can open the door to context-specific options.  Regarding SQL, it is complicated because SQL support depends on the back-end data source, and the more advanced the SQL the less standard the support becomes.  That is, SQL isn't always very portable as a solution. ...

Although ArcPy Data Access (da) cursors are newer, and better in nearly every way, Esri continues to maintain the original cursors for backwards compatibility.  You should be able to run old code and even write new code using the old cursors, so are you encountering errors?  If so, what are the errors? ...

When you say "relies on," are you importing ogr2ogr.py or calling it as a command?  If the latter: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Library\bin\ogr2ogr.exe ... View more

Huh, interesting.  It may be a defect in the Copy Snippet functionality.  I am glad it is working for you now. ... View more

Why are you prepending "memory\" to the name of your layer?  That is likely confusing the Delete tool. ... View more

The inclusion of "memory" in the layer name makes me think the OP is trying to create something in an in-memory workspace.  Make Feature Layer always creates a temporary layer, and that layer is not stored in an in-memory workspace.  The Delete tool likely is looking in an in-memory workspace given the path passed, and since feature layers aren't stored in an in-memory workspace, nothing is there to delete. I think the tools are not being used correctly, which is causing confusion for them. ... View more

Lessons learned?  Since you didn't say where exactly you are deploying, e.g., on-prem or in a cloud, it is hard to provide specifics.  What I would say is make sure you really need high-availability before deploying it.  What I have seen numerous times are "high-availability" deployments that have multiple single points of failure so they are high availability in name but not in reality.  Doing truly highly available deployments comes with a non-trivial cost. ...

Start by looking at ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript Life Cycle.  The oldest supported version is 4.24, which supports down to Safari 14, but that version of the SDK also is retired on 12/01/2025.  ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 was the last version to support Safari 15, and it doesn't retire until 11/01/2026, so that is probably your best bet for now. Although Apple sometimes backports critical security patches to unsupported versions of iOS, it isn't guaranteed, and Apple currently supports iOS 18 and newer.  Supporting unsupported software is one thing, doing new development on unsupported software is something else entirely.   ...

This is by far the best workaround currently available at Pro 3.5.  I will say, the minimum webmap definition needed to get ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject to work is: {"mapOptions":{"extent":{}}} ... View more

How frequently is this happening, that is the best bar to use for deciding whether it it worth chasing down the issue.  If it is happening daily or multiple times a week, then it is probably worth looking into.  If it is happening every couple or few weeks or months, I personally would not spend the cycles chasing it down.  Then again, maybe you have a whole lot more free time on your hands than I do. Regarding the setting itself, it depends.  If the service is optimized well and response times are < 5 seconds, then getting timeouts indicate you are getting a lot of traffic and adding more SOCs is probably the better approach.  If the service's performance is poor, averaging half the timeout or more, then I usually push back on the service publisher to improve either the data structure, map structure, or both.  Although one can throw resources at a poor performing service by increasing SOCs and timeouts, that is usually treating the symptoms and not the root cause. ...

Did this work with previous versions of ArcGIS Pro?  What OS is the user running? ... View more

Did you publish this exact same dataset to ArcGIS Online using Pro 2.9, or were you speaking in general about pushing to ArcGIS Online from Pro 2.9?  If this dataset was copied or created with a newer version of ArcGIS Pro, it might be one of the datasets has an incompatible data type. ...

The maximum running instances setting is per machine/node of an ArcGIS Server site.  If you have a site with 2 machines and a max of 4, then it is possible to have up to 8 running across the site. Are you running a multi-machine site?  ... View more
