We are using a two-factor authentication technology called DUO (The Trusted Access Company: Duo Security  ) for connections to our Enterprise Geodatabase (Oracle). Because ArcGIS Pro is a multi-threaded application it creates very many database connections when you use it. For me this means that my DUO app on my phone asks me to  verify my identity once for every new database connection. It is basically unusable due to this. I spend more time authenticating than actually using the software. What do other folks who are required to use mutli-factor database authentication do? Do you have any suggestions for what we could do so our users don't have to authenticate 6+ times for doing simple tasks in ArcPro?  ... View more

I want to be able to report on how all feature services in my ArcGIS Online instance are shared (i.e. which groups they are shared with). But getting started on this I am running into confusing results, like even just a simple search like this fs = gis.content.search(query="*",item_type="Feature Service", max_items = 1000) ‍ returns seemingly random feature service items that are not even owned by users in my ArcGIS Online instance. Why is that? How would you go about reporting on how all feature services in your org. are shared? ... View more

Many users assume that the locate button will center and zoom the map to their location. Currently the locate button only centers the map (scale level is not affected). Please allow for an (optional) configurable parameter that lets the author specify a zoom level to which the locate button should zoom the map. Thanks! (Any pointers as to where to change that in my own copy of the code much appreciated, too.) Story Maps ... View more

We have been trying to get to the bottom of this error message for quite some time without much success. I'm wondering whether anybody else has any insights or ideas from troubleshooting this message in a similar environment. Oracle 12c, ArcSDE Geodatabase version 10.3 ArcGIS Server 10.3 and/or 10.4 (single server site) We see it on most or all services when they need to spin up a new instance. Hardware resources are not likely the culprit. What makes it difficult to troubleshoot is that I can't reproduce the error very consistently. We're looking at a lot of variables but so far without too much consistent success. ... View more

We recently encountered the issue that the checkbox that states "Geodatabase is accepting connections" (in Database Properties --> Connections tab) was found to be unchecked and the Geodatabase indeed did not allow any new connections. Once discovered it was an easy fix, we just connected as SDE user an checked the box. The question is how did it get unchecked? We can narrow down the time window to when it must have become unchecked based when scheduled tasks started to fail, and can use Oracle audit to verify that no connection as SDE was made during that time window.  Has anyone experienced this before? What factors could trigger it? Is this a known bug? DB: Oracle 12c GDB: 10.3 ... View more
