Dedicated instances don't necessarily mean they will always be running 24/7. Dedicated instances will honor the min/max setting. So, if the min is set to 0, then they will not be running 24/7. Even if the min is set to 1 and the max is set to 5, only 1 will be running 24/7 and the other 4 will be running depending on the demand. ... View more

I'm not familiar with that error in this specific scenario, but you can try opening up your browser's dev tools and watch the network traffic as you replicate that error message. It's possible it might tell you some additional information. ... View more

ArcGIS Enterprise 10.2 was officially retired by Esri on July 1, 2019, so you won't be able to get any assistance from Esri regarding these issues. The recommendation will be to upgrade to a version of ArcGIS Enterprise that Esri currently supports. ... View more

I think there are various ways you could do this, but here is how I would implement what you're wanting. You mentioned that admin staff are reviewing each survey response. I'm going to assume they are reviewing the survey responses in a web map. As you mentioned, add some invisible columns to your survey that will not be visible in Survey123, but they will be visible in the feature service that will be used in the web map. One thing to consider though are the permissions of the feature service of the S123 form and the accessibility of viewing it in a web map. If the feature service is also public facing, then you will need to consider if you are okay with those fields being visible to the public (and also potentially editable). If you are not okay with that, then you have a few options. You could unshare the feature service. Or, if the public needs access to that feature service (to be viewable in a web map), depending on your needs, you could change the settings to show only records that specific end user has created. Or, you could keep the feature service unshared, and then create a feature service view and just remove those hidden/admin fields from the view, so they are not viewable to the general public. And then only share the feature service with all of the fields to your admins. It's hard to say what the best option is for you since I don't know what your requirements are, but those are some options to think about. ... View more

ModyBuchbinder already answered your question, but I have a couple more things to add to it. You didn't directly call this out, but just wanted to say that if you already have an EGDB and then create a new table outside of Esri (like directly through SQL), then you will need to register that individual table with the DB (register with geodatabase tool). But, you do not need to re-register that DB connection with ArcGIS Enterprise. As ModyBuchbinder said, once you register the DB connection, all future tables will be included. One other thing to note, which has got me a couple times, is that you are registering a specific version of the DB with the server. I've unknowingly been in another version of the EGDB that hasn't been registered with the server, and it asked me to register it when publishing. It wasn't until then I realized I was in a different version (of course this only applies if your data is versioned). ... View more

So as long as you didn't delete the actual record and only the attribute data, you can just join your Excel file to the feature layer in ArcGIS Pro, and then just recalculate the fields. Of course, that's assuming you have a unique ID field that can be joined between the two. That's probably going to be the easiest and simplest way of doing it. ... View more

It's possible, but I don't know for sure. We have two Enterprise environments with the config store in the exact same AWS FSx, but only one environment is having issues. The other is perfectly fine. In our case, what we notice is that the requests aren't even making it to IIS. When normally creating hosted feature services, we can see requests being sent in the IIS logs. However, when I receive the error, I don't see anything in the IIS logs. Since all internet traffic and requests go through IIS/web adaptors, I'd think that if it was a problem with Portal/Server/Data Store, the request would be logged in IIS. In order for Portal/Server/Data Store to return an error, it needs to receive a request first, but it's not being logged in IIS. So if my logic is correct, then the problem must be something at the web adaptor or IIS level. But I'm not sure where to look or troubleshoot any further. ... View more

Enterprise geodatabases and ArcGIS Enterprise operate independently of each other. I mean, they both must be compatible with each other. But both can operate independently of each other, meaning that upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise to 11.3 has nothing to do with creating new EGDBs. You might have compatibility issues with your 10.2.2 EGDB, but upgrading shouldn't have prevented you from being able to create new EGDBs. You should definitely NOT have to revert back to 10.7.1 because you're not able to create new EGDBs. However, you might have to revert back to 10.7.1 because a 10.2.2 EGDB is definitely not compatible with 11.3. You also most likely won't be able to upgrade a 10.2.2. EGDB directly to the latest version. You'll probably need to upgrade the EGDB in ArcMap 10.5, then again in 10.8, then again in ArcGIS Pro. I've had to do that with a few very old EGDBs. As far as the error in your screenshot, the error message references a log file you can check for additional information. Did you check that to see if it has any useful information in it? ...

Nope. Have an Esri support case open for 7 months and counting. I know at least one other person has an Esri support case open as well, and they haven't had a resolution either. Right now, we're getting towards the point of having to do a full uninstall and reinstall of the ArcGIS Data Store, and then restore it from a backup, because we're running out of other troubleshooting options. My recommendation is to open an Esri support case. The more people we have reporting this issue, the better. It might demonstrate that Esri has a legitimate bug on their hands instead of a random one-off issue. I'm actually hesitant to believe that the Data Store is the problem in the first place because what we found is that when we receive this error message, the requests aren't even making it to the IIS level. A successful publishing of a hosted feature service sends requests through IIS. However, an unsuccessful request does not. So, in order for the Data Store to be able to return an error, a request would need to be made to the Data Store first, which we would see in IIS. But, it's not doing that..... Of course, I don't know what all goes on behind the scenes, but that's my thought process on it. ... View more

I'm assuming you upgraded directly to 11.3 from 10.6? If so, that is not supported. This could be what is causing you issues. You'll need to upgrade to a lower version first, then upgrade to 11.3. Upgrade ArcGIS Enterprise—ArcGIS Enterprise | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise   ... View more

I was in this same situation. We needed something that could be used on Windows desktop PCs with offline capabilities, preferably using mmpks. Esri suggested that I use either ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Earth. With ArcGIS Pro, we have to eat the licensing costs, but it can be used completely offline. We also don't need an entire GIS program for our end users. We just need a simple data visualization app, like Field Maps. And ArcGIS Earth is clunky at best, very similar to Google Earth. ArcGIS Earth doesn't honor symbology set in mmpks which is unfortunate. Unfortunately, Esri appears to have at least partially abandoned us Windows users, providing us with limited data visualization options either via ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Earth. I've always found it odd, and frustrating, that Esri picks and chooses what is supported on Windows, vs. everything being supported on iOS/Android. ... View more

Hmm, that's strange. If you've exported multiple Portal licenses, it will need to be the most recent license file you exported that you will need to edit. One other thing that I've experienced in the past is Esri added additional accounts under the wrong version of Portal. For example, I needed 11.1 licenses, but they added them only to 11.2 and therefore I was not able to export a license for them because they seem to only add new licenses to the latest version of Portal and not all of them. When you look at your available licenses, make sure you are looking at 10.9.1. If you don't see any licenses available under 10.9.1, you'll have to contact your account rep to fix it. ... View more

Are you able to overwrite services using any ArcGIS Pro 3.x version? Because I believe you should still be able to open ArcGIS Pro projects saved in 3.3 in 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc. But generally, it's recommended that your ArcGIS Pro version and Enterprise version "match" each other. The further apart the two versions are, the more likely you're going to run into problems you're experiencing. I've unfortunately learned that lesson the hard way.   ... View more
