I've got a number of python scripts that download copies of ArcOnline feature services as part of a nightly backup routine (in lieu of anything simpler). At present, the python script logs into ArcOnline, accesses the hosted feature service and exports a copy of the data to a feature class in a GDB on our server. This python script is then called by Task Scheduler on a nightly basis (user logged off with highest privledges). Last month (while I was on leave), the server was moved from physical on-premises to cloud based, and we started getting the below Error: Exception: 'LOCALAPPDATA' I can't find anything online that really points out what the error is or how to fix it. I assume it's an issue accessing the temporary data environments. When I log in and run the script manually (even through Task Scheduler), it works without any problems. It only happens once logged off.  I tried running the following script in IDLE, but that also didn't yield any positive results.  import arcpy # Reset geoprocessing environment settings arcpy.ResetEnvironments() I've tried finding inbuilt environment settings in IDLE (for ArcGIS Pro) but couldn't so don't know where else to look. I've included my script below so that you can analyse it more in depth.   from datetime import datetime, timedelta, date # *****Update the below 6 lines***** name = "FS Name" #Name of dataset for use in error email notification url_fl = "https://services3.arcgis.com/#X#X#X#X#X#X#X#X#X/arcgis/rest/services/FSName/FeatureServer/0" # Service URL for feature layer to download as feature class destGDB = r"\\server\ArcGIS Online\AGOL Backups\Backups.gdb" #The GDB where the backup feature class will be created destFC = "FC Name" #The backup feature class name (no spaces - user _ or CamelCase) monthlimit = datetime.today() - timedelta(days=30) # number of days to keep daily backups yearlimit = datetime.today() - timedelta(days=365) # number of days to keep monthly backups (1st day of month only) - everything older will be deleted while True: #If something fails in the main script under "try", the "except" section emails a notification to the GIS Inbox try: import arcpy from arcpy import env from arcgis import gis from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer import getpass import json import requests from time import strftime import datetime def getSecrets(): # Secrets from file stored outside of revison control with open(r"\\server\file.json") as f: secrets = json.load(f) return secrets secrets = getSecrets() # Get login credentials # http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/ s = requests.Session() url_gis="https://org.maps.arcgis.com" s.user = (secrets["username"]) s.pw = (secrets["password"]) #SIGNING INTO ARCGIS ONLINE print ("Signing into ArcGIS Online") source = gis.GIS(url_gis, s.user, s.pw) #signing in print ("Signed into ArcGIS Online") # CREATING BACKUP OF FEATURE SERVICE # https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/using-arcpy-to-copy-a-portal-feature-service-to-a-fgdb-feature/m-p/4285#M394 fl = FeatureLayer(url_fl) fs = fl.query() print ("Exporting backup of feature service") Outputfs = destFC + "_" + strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S") fs.save(destGDB, Outputfs) time.sleep(10) #add 10 seconds delay to allow export to complete print (name + " feature service exported to backup GDB: " + destGDB + "\\" + Outputfs) print ("Filtering past backups") arcpy.env.workspace = r"\\server\ArcGIS Online\AGOL Backups\Backups.gdb" FClist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(destFC + "*") for fc in FClist: datestamp = datetime.strptime(('{}'.format(fc))[-15:], "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S") day = (datestamp.day) print (fc + "..........Backup date:" + str(datestamp)) if datestamp < yearlimit: #data more than 365 days old print (" Older than 12 months: delete backup") arcpy.management.Delete(fc) print ("Deleted") elif datestamp < monthlimit: #fc more than 90 days old if day == 1: print (" 1st of month & 4-12 months old: retain as monthly backup") #fc from 1st of Month and more than 90 days old else: print (" Older than 3 months and not the 1st of the month: delete backup") arcpy.management.Delete(fc) #fc NOT from 1st of Month and more than 90 days old print ("Deleted") else: print (" Less than 3 months old: retain backup") print ("Script finished") break # Stops script here except Exception as e: from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText import smtplib fromaddr = "us@org.com.au" toaddr = "us@org.com.au" msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = fromaddr msg['To'] = toaddr msg['Subject'] = name + " backup process failed" # Enter email body text below body = "There has been an error backing up the feature service.

When you open ArcGIS Pro, the notification pops up saying there is an update to install. So I start the process and it downloads 2GB+ of install files then asks for administrator credentials to continue. I enter some credentials and hit enter - except they're the wrong ones. Instead of getting an option to try again (i.e. call our IT department and get their credentials), it just exits the update process. This means that next time I attempt to run the update, if the install files have been cleared, it downloads all the files from scratch. It's also annoying have to open ArcGIS Pro from scratch.  It would be good if instead of exiting the update process, it came up with the Options to either Exit, Retry or return to the existing version of ArcGIS Pro.    ...

In short, what I want to know is can custom basemaps be enabled for offline use? I've followed the guide in this blog post to create and share Custom Basemaps with my org, but I don't seem to be able to use them in a webmap and have that map enabled for offline use in Field Maps.  Extra info: my custom basemaps either use the ESRI Terrain or ESRI Imagery basemaps with a Custom Vector Tile Package overlaid within the basemap group of the webmap share to the Custom Basemap Gallery group. The Vector Tile Package is enabled for offline use, as are the webmaps.      ... View more
