The ArcGIS Data Store is just a PostgreSQL DB under the hood. When creating an ArcGIS Data Store backup, all it does is create a PostgreSQL dump file. And typically (to my understanding), restoring from an older version to a newer version is supported within PostgreSQL. So, it makes sense to me that doing a fresh install of the ArcGIS Data Store and restoring from a previous version's backup will work from a PostgreSQL perspective. Of course, the unknown variable is all the stuff Esri adds on top of it to make the ArcGIS Data Store work within ArcGIS Enterprise. Depending on how that works, I can see how it might not be officially supported. But glad it worked in your case! ... View more

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily expect there to be any Esri documentation about it because this is something that is done at the Azure level vs. the Esri level. Just like how Esri doesn't really tell you how to create accounts in Azure. They just tell you how to link Azure to AGOL so you can sign into AGOL with your Azure login. ... View more

No, they don't necessarily need full access in your Azure AD tenant. All you need to do is invite them as an external user in Azure AD, which essentially adds them as a guest account in your tenant.  When you invite them as an external user, you do NOT manage their account (so no password resets, no email management, etc.). The contractor's organization is still responsible for that. The only thing you can really control is what they have access to within your Azure tenant (such as giving them permissions to AGOL).  On the AGOL side of things, you would manage it the exact same was as your internal users. And a final note, you can invite non-Microsoft accounts as well. They work just about the same as Microsoft accounts. ... View more

When you said you added it to the connector body as a link, do you mean you selected the hyperlink option in the email connector? Similar to how it’s stated here: https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=f859e81a-4433-49ab-9381-74cf0d9c7d01 ... View more

Is this a fresh installation on a machine that previously had 10.2 installed? If yes, it's possible that the Portal installation is still trying to use the 10.2 Portal content directories, even though it is a "fresh" 10.8.1 installation. If you are doing this to try and get around the 10.2 to 10.8.1 upgrade limitation, then that will not work. If it is truly a fresh installation and you do not need the old content directory, I recommend deleting it or selecting a different directory when doing the install. ... View more

You just need to configure the pop-up in Field Maps to contain a URL that launches Survey123. This documentation should get you started. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/get-started/integratewithotherapps.htm https://resource.esriuk.com/blog/getting-started-with-url-parameters-in-survey123/ ...

As long as the collaborations are still functional, I don’t see any reason to redo the collaborations unless you really want them to reflect the correct version. I know restarts are a part of upgrading Portal, but it might be worth restarting both Portals and then initiating a manual collaboration sync if you haven’t done that already. I encountered an instance where an existing collaboration would not detect a new workspace that was created until Portal was restarted, even after doing manual syncs. ... View more

Did support provide you any additional information about the bug? Like are all upgrades faulty, or just upgrades that meet certain conditions (like specifically upgrading from 11.5 to 12.1), etc.? ... View more

If you're referring to ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1, then I would say not. I can't find any documentation about this for 12.1. It's not in the "What's New" documentation, and when I try to navigate to the 12.1 documentation from the 12.0 documentation, the link is broken. According to Esri's documentation, Esri does not include beta features in long-term support releases. Assuming it hasn't transitioned to full support yet, then it would not be included in 12.1. ...

I'll start with the disclaimer saying that every organization is different, but I have a table that is versioned with 2.4 million records in it, with 17.3 million records in the archive table, and we don't have any performance issues with it. I don't think having a large archive table would impact the performance of a viewing the table in ArcGIS Pro. In this case since you are using a versioned feature class, it creates a separate archive table which ArcGIS Pro wouldn't be accessing when viewing only the feature class. Are you reconciling and compressing the database? That would be the first thing to look at imo. Also, when you reindex, make sure you're also doing the spatial index too and not just the attribute index. For your second question.......all I can say is to be very careful about that. I'm not going to say that it's impossible, but it is a table that Esri manages so you might experience unexpected behavior if you directly modify it. ... View more

Ahh, that's a good catch. I didn't think to check that. I kept the default tiling scheme, which was "Auto-suggest." So I'm not sure what it actually chose when I originally published it. With that being said, I tried again just now with WGS 1984 and my local projection and it still published fine when I set it to ArcGIS Online tiling scheme. Yes, my data is coming from an EGDB. ...

Does the account that is running Portal have full admin permissions to all of the various Portal directories? Including both your Portal directory in program files, along with the Portal content directory? I know that is super basic, but that is the first thing I think of when I see your error saying Portal can't open the file. ... View more

I am also using Pro 3.5 and Enterprise 11.5 and in my experience, it is not mandatory for the projection to be Web Mercator. Just to make sure, I validated this just now. I was able to successfully publish a referenced vector tile layer where the underlying data is in three different projections (WGS 1984, Web Mercator, and my state's local coordinate system), and all three published fine for me. I'm not sure what went wrong in your specific case, but in general, it is not mandatory for the underlying data to be in Web Mercator. ... View more
