Good afternoon,   We are using the current working versions of the ArcGIS Maps plugin for both 64 bit versions of Office 2016 and Office 365. On the ESRI side, our servers are all at 10.8.1 and our Desktops are at 10.8.1 AM and 2.8.1 AGP. The tech I am working with now did have us do some tests in Fiddler and he is analyzing the files from that now. ... View more

Hey Kory, I had a chance to discuss this with the analyst that found the issue and we walked through the process they would use daily and here is what we see. Sorry, not quite sure a way to record it, but I have a video of the steps as an MP4. I will detail in case the video does not work. A user will have a project open, and will add table data to their project from SQL. Let's use Traffic Incidents for this example. They run a query for only 2020 Traffic incidents. They open the table and see the selected records. They go to the upper right of the table on the 'hamburger' and select Export. The Export Table window opens as a floating window now. Input rows are the table data from SQL, TRAFFIC. Output Location, they need to save to a different location so click the browse folder option to navigate to a different location. When the Output Location opens, they click on the Databases folder on the left pane but it shows 'This container is empty' however you can see the Database connections on the Catalog pane on the right of the project. Why is the Output Location no longer showing the Database connections without having to go to the bottom of the window and use the Dropdown list option. Our users are stating this is what changed?? Now once you choose the Database options, you do see your DB and can select it. Previously, according to our users, you then, under Output Name, also had a drop down list that would allow you to browse that SDE workspace to select a previous table if you were going to overwrite a table which is frequently their option. Since no drop down, you are correct. They will need to think ahead and have the Catalog pane open and the Database connection open and expanded to see the existing table names, thus the extra steps. Thought they could drag and drop the table they wanted to overwrite but get an error on that method. If they copy the table name of the existing table, that gives the warning it is going to overwrite. The copy/paste seems to work. I think what is throwing everyone off is the pop out window now, and not from the Catalog Pane, and then having to use the drop down to select Databases. Just my best guess here.  ... View more

Hey Kory,   Thanks for the update. We seem to find new problems each week with the 2.6 update, so I will try to take another look at this today. I do remember working through this with one user who first realized it was no longer working, as previously, since the analysts use the export daily, all day. I believe, after looking through the documentation provided, it may be just a change to the way the tool is run from the previous 2.5.1 version, and not sure I have a machine with that version installed. Stand by. ... View more

Thanks Dan and Kory if you can advise.  ... View more

Hey Dan, Thank you for the reply. Yes, those are the links to the documentation. However, it does not mention why these process windows have changed within the app for the user (pop ups now instead of working within an intuitive pane as before). What was a very simple to use option, now requires more steps to the user. So far, this 'update' has not made our users happy at all.  ... View more

Have 2.3.1 installed and STILL no freeze option. ... View more

Thanks for the vote link. Guess I missed that one. Voted up now and as several mentioned, Map Notes is not the answer. Blessings, George A.

Right now our biggest issue the learning curve of “where is everything” from our users. They will try it, not like it, and not use it. Icon styles were an issues so we downloaded some new styles from ESRI and that helped. A/C not being there is one of my two biggest complaints. The other is in using the Find tool in AM had a great work flow I used all day, every day after finding the address and then the right click option to add a point and then add a text box to that location. Not an option in AGP from what we are being told (see below from ESRI UC AGP Team this week). Right now, and we are just starting to work with importing our large MXD files into a new blank AGP Project, we are finding this extremely time consuming on the import and the projects are VERY slow to open if they have SDE connections. Here is the work flow for example in AM: Right click to add a call out text box, for example. Here are the steps in AM also and snap of what we are looking for in AGP: Take any AM .mxd Use the Find Tool to search an address using our own Address Locator, for example our ROADS locator From Find Window, select the Locations Tab, choose our ROADS locator, plug in the address in the Full Address line, hit Find. Our address appears From there you right click on the address in the Match_Addr and you have all the options on what to do. Where are these option in AGP?? From ESRI UC Pro Team in response to the above: “it’s not there. The reason is that the end result is graphic text (mostly) and graphics are not supported in Map Views in AGP. They’ve heard from many customers that they want graphics support so they are strongly leaning in that direction to implement – perhaps 2.3 (scheduled for end of the year)” Blessings, George A.

Michael, We are not using AA. Blessings, George A.

Michael, That seems to be what I am seeing. We are fully SQL for all DB’s and SDE. The little work I have tried with our server connections in AGP has been very limited and what I have done has been much more difficult to navigate compared to working in AC. It may very well be the learning curve to move from a full AC app to the AC Pane in AGP but will take some getting used to. Our users do not like that area of AGP. Overall, AGP seems to be on the right track, but there is the learning curve and issues of things no longer available in AGP that were in AM or they are there partially or they are there but the work flow requires more steps?? We are also experiencing extreme slow response when in AGP and connecting to or working with our SQL connections, compared to AM for example. As and FYI, we are a Microsoft 7 Enterprise shop, 64bit, Arc 10.5.1/10.6 and AGP 2.2 running on Dell Workstations that have been upgraded to meet the GIS demands of the data we work with.

I have been working with one of the ESRI Instructors on several AGP issues and had them check in with the Pro Team at UC this week regarding some of the problems we had with Pro. Here is and update from the AGP team regarding Arc Catalog: "there is no plan for an AGP equivalent for AC but in 2.3 they are implementing the start of AGP in “Untitled” mode meaning you don’t have to create a *.aprx initially just to start using AGP.  So theoretically one could start AGP in Untitled mode, use the Catalog Pane to manage data, and close AGP without saving." ...
