The error message you are receiving is telling you what the issue is. You can't do a backup/restore from Windows to Linux. Like, you can't take a WebGISDR backup from a Windows environment and restore it to a Linux environment. And the same goes for the individual components too, I believe. Like Portal, Data Store, and Server. I'm not aware of any workarounds except manually recreating all of your content.

I'm following this guide: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-enterprise/administration/migrate-to-a-new-machine-in-arcgis-enterprise-two/ They are brand new servers, but added an entry to the hosts file so our DNS alias resolves to the new machine with the web adaptors are installed. Also, I can confirm that the WebGISDR restores files from the backup on the new Data Store and Server machines (by looking at the files and config-store) and it started to restore it on the Portal machine, it just didn't finish.

I am attempting to move our production environment to a new set of servers using WebGISDR. After two attempts, it fails for the same reason when restoring Portal: {"error":{"code":500,"details":null,"message":"This connection has been closed."}} After some research, I found this bug: https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/when-attempting-to-restore-a-portal-for-arcgis-backup-t-bug-000160000 While it's referencing the Portal importSite operation, I imagine that WebGISDR is probably performing the same operation where I'd encounter the same bug/error. The bug says it was fixed in 11.1, but I was wondering if there are any workarounds for this? Are there any workarounds to fix this bug in 10.9.1?

Hmm, that's interesting. We have two ArcGIS Enterprise deployments. One on 10.9.1 and one on 11.1, and I'm only having issues with 11.1. Our 10.9.1 environment actually has higher demand, with our 11.1 environment having 100 ArcSOCs running at any given time. But, the services we have are pretty large. I'm just curious, how are you determining this happens when ArcSOCs are initiating at the same time? Like what tools do you use to determine that? I'm looking to upgrade it to 11.2 in the next couple months, and if that doesn't fix it, I'll open a support ticket. It's just difficult because I can't force reproduce the issue.

Todd, Experience Builder absolutely does NOT offer the solution for us. Field Maps provides workflows for disconnected environments, whether it's using the sync capabilities in a feature service or downloadable MMPKs. Experience Builder does not provide us with this capability.

@ErikLash4 I transferred my "idea" as a comment in the other thread.

‎03-08-2024

I originally created a new idea, but it was marked as closed as it was considered a duplicate with this idea. Below are my comments from my idea. With the sudden and abrupt end of support with the Amazon AppStore on Windows 11, users will no longer have access to Field Maps on Windows 11 devices. Considering that other Esri COTS apps have Windows 11 support, it just makes sense that Field Maps would also have Windows 11 support. It doesn't make sense that Esri's flagship data collection app (Survey123) has Windows 11 support, yet their flagship GIS data visualization app (Field Maps) does not, especially considering they are often integrated together using URL launch links. Furthermore, the predecessor apps to Field Maps (Collector and Explorer) both had Windows support, and Esri's official guidance (Collector Deprecation Notice) on how to migrate off of Collector encouraged users to use Field Maps on Windows 11 and now we're suddenly told "we have no intention to build a Windows 11 version of ArcGIS Field Maps" per this post (Windows Support as Amazon Store is End of Life) despite telling their users to migrate to Field Maps on Windows 11. This entire situation is incredibly frustrating to say the least.

Also, let's not forget that just 4 months ago, Esri provided official guidance (https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/collector/field-mobility/deprecation-notice-arcgis-collector-on-windows-platform-to-retire/) to transition to Field Maps on Windows 11 from Collector (which was also supported on Windows) because Collector was being deprecated. And now suddenly we're being told that it's no longer going to be supported.

‎03-06-2024

With Microsoft's and Amazon's decision to end support for the Amazon AppStore on Windows 11, this means users will no longer have access to Field Maps on Windows 11 devices. This very sudden and abrupt decision means that organizations will have to come up with other solutions for users on Windows 11 devices (such as running an Android emulator or changing to Android or iOS which is might be cost prohibitive for organizations who have already invested in Windows 11 devices). My ArcGIS Field Maps idea is for Esri to release a native Field Maps app on Windows 11. Considering that other Esri COTS apps have Windows 11 support, it just makes sense that Field Maps would also have Windows 11 support. I'm not sure why some parts of the Esri ecosystem support some platforms, while others do not, especially considering that the apps are often integrated with each other with app launch link URLs. Furthermore, the predecessor apps to Field Maps (Collector and Explorer) both had Windows support, and Esri's official guidance written just 4 months ago (https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/collector/field-mobility/deprecation-notice-arcgis-collector-on-windows-platform-to-retire/) on how to migrate off of Collector and Explorer encouraged users to use Field Maps on Windows 11. But now with Field Maps no longer being supported on Windows 11, users who followed this guidance will now be completely forced off Windows 11. If there is any official guidance from Esri regarding this decision that would impact my idea to release Field Maps for Windows 11, please feel free to post the link.

Unfortunately, there is no "recycle bin" functionality in Portal. Once it's deleted, it's gone. Your best bet is to perform a WebGISDR restore of your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, assuming you're making backups. Alternatively, doing a server level restore of the server if you have those kinds of backups.

This is the expression I use to get a total number of ArcSOCs running and then displaying it in a chart (we have multiple servers so we select multiple "ID" and split by the name field to we can see the number of ArcSOCs per machine. If you only have one machine, you'd only select your one machine).

Thank you for submitting that, I appreciate it. As I anticipated, it was not a bug because technically, it is working as designed. It's just a terrible implementation of these new field types by Esri. This issue, caused by Esri, has totally wrecked our Python workflows. How Esri can release new functionality without specifying a "non-high accuracy option" within the Register with Geodatabase GP Tool is beyond me.

This might be what you are looking for. Basically, you'll need change switch out your data source from your old SDE connection file with SQL DB authentication to a new SDE connection file with SQL Windows authentication. You should be able to do it with a little bit of Python. Although, disclaimer, I have attempted to do this and it ended up not working quite right and I just had to do it manually. I'm not sure if I was just doing something wrong or what. But regardless, I think this page will help you bulk change the data sources. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/updatingandfixingdatasources.htm Depending on how many layers you need to change data sources on, it might be faster to just manually change them as opposed to trying to write some Python code to do it. Just depends on how fast you are and how well it works for you.

We're good with Windows Updates and we're not noticing any network issues. We have two different ArcGIS Enterprise deployments and both are configured the same way. Only one of them is having this issue and we're not seeing any network related issues.

I'm having an issue with one my ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 deployments where the two machine, active-active server site randomly re-synchronizes with the site which causes a partial outage. Specifically, I get these error messages in the logs: The server machine 'machine name' is synchronizing with the site. This will take a few minutes and during this operation all administrative operations will be blocked. Resetting the synchronization flag on the machine 'machine name'. Resetting the synchronize flag as synchronization is now running. Failed to update the security configuration. Exception Could not connect to the ArcGIS component at URL 'https://machinename:6443/arcgis/admin/local/manageHandler'. The ArcGIS component on that machine may not be running or the machine may not be reachable at this time.Error: Connection refused: connect There were a couple other variations of that same error message from above. But after a few minutes, it finishes and everything goes back to normal. And while it doesn't happen at the same time, this has happened on both machines. So, it's not isolated to one machine. Is there any reason why this is randomly happening? There are no other errors in the server logs. No errors in Windows event viewer, and the ArcGIS Server service doesn't get restarted or anything. Technically, we don't experience an outage because the other ArcGIS Server site handles the load until the other server site comes back online. But, it's also not ideal for one of our servers to essentially be inoperable for 20+ minutes while this is happening.
