Kyle, You can either create an empty featureClass based off of a schema that has the superset of the fields that are from all of the reference data, make a copy of one of the featureClasses, or just append to one of the featureClasses. Each one would use the "Append" GP tool and you will need to map each of the corresponding output fields to the destination featureClass. In the "Append" tool, you would select "Use the field map to reconcile schema differences" option and then for each output field select the "Add New Source" button to choose the fields from the input datasets that line up with the output field. You might want to set this up as a model if you are going to be doing this more than once. Brad

Kyle, I think you have a few options and I will list them in order, top being best. 1. Combine the multiple reference data sets into a single featureClass. This is an additional step but lets you take advantage of all of the new features for the new locators. You can create a featureClass that is in a schema that works for all of the data and ETL the other datasets into that new featureClass. 2. Add all of the locators separately to the MMPK in the order that you would want them. This works sort of like a composite but with less limitations. 3. Create locators for individual cities and combine them into a composite. As you already know, there is a limitation to doing this.

Kyle, It looks to me like you are using our new tool to build locators, "Create Locator tool". Is that correct? If so, I would recommend you create a multirole locator as opposed to two separate locators and then creating a composite. The locators created with this tool allow for multiple datasets to go into a single locator. Benefits include, size of the locator, performance, eliminating duplicate results, better reverse geocoding logic, and it is a single locator. All that being said, what you are seeing is a byproduct of mixing older technology and newer technology. The new locators return more fields when performing reverse geocoding but when you put that same locator in a composite locator, that additional information will no longer get returned. This is because the composite locator only ever returned the values for the input fields of the participating locators (typically this is Address, City, State, Zip) plus some other fields like Loc_name and Match_addr. Hope this helps. Brad

Lindsey, We did fix this already. You will need to create the locator again using ArcGIS Pro 2.4 and if you are publishing it to ArcGIS Enterprise you will need one of the following patches. ArcGIS Server 10.6.1 General Geocoding Patch ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 General Geocoding Patch

We have a script shared on ArcGIS.com that can be used to automate this process. See the link below. https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=54e8aab14f6e4c61b65b9dd9ab451503

John, As you know from one of my comments above, we have a patch for 10.7.1 for the issue with using magicKey. We will not be patching 10.7 but we are looking to create a patch for 10.6.1. At this time nothing has been released but we are working on it now. Brad

John, Yes, this helps. There is an issue that will be fixed in the next release of Pro (2.5) that addresses an issue with locators created with the Create Locator tool and added to a composite locator won't show suggestions locally in Pro. If you were to publish this locator to Server, you would get suggestions. As for the classic locators, I am unsure what is going on there but if you have the ability to move to the new locators, this would be the best approach because there are many benefits to these locators, including some enhancements to suggestions such as verifying the house number for addresses and suggestions for intersections.

John, I assume you used Create Address Locator to create your locators, right? If so, what locator style did you use (US Address - Dual Ranges and US Address - City State)? Is this composite locator published to ArcGIS Server or are both of the locators published to ArcGIS Server and the composite locator is not? Brad

John, This patch is not for locators created with the Create Address Locator tool (in ArcMap and Pro), only for locators created with the new Create Locator tool in Pro. I would need more details from you to understand what the issue you are having with, as we call them, the classic locators. What style did you use to build the locator? What is an example of the input data, the field mapping, the input placename you are trying to get a suggestion for? Brad

Kevin, Are your locators built withe the Create Locator tool in ArcGIS Pro or were they created with the Create Address Locator tool in Pro or ArcMap? Brad

Leon, We typically don't patch "dot" releases once a "sub-dot" release is already out with a fix or a patch (like is the case here). That doesn't mean we can't, we just hadn't planned on it. Is moving to 10.7.1 not an option for you? Brad

Thanks everyone for the feedback. You have uncovered an issue with composite locators that contain locators created with the Create Locator tool in ArcGIS Pro. Unfortunately a fix for this issue was did not make it into 10.7.1 but good news is we have created a general patch that fixes this issue as well as a few other issues that were found. The patch can be found here: ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 General Geocoding Patch At this time the patch is only for 10.7.1. Thanks, Brad

Michael, Currently there is no way to modify locator properties programmatically but we have had discussions internally about supporting this via Python. Is Python where you would want to perform this from? Brad
