It's possible you might need to complete these steps: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-automatically-sign-in-to-survey123-via-the-app-l-000021099 I know the article is talking about automatically signing into S123 via the app launcher in Portal, while you're talking about auto signing in via a custom S123 URL, but I suspect it's the same thing behind the scenes and that that support article might apply to your scenario as well. ...

I suspect this isn't possible with the out of the box functionality in Experience Builder, although I'm definitely not a professional EB user. It might be possible with a custom built widget. I do have a potential alternative solution though. You might be able to accomplish this in the web map pop-up configuration instead of using an EB widget. If you use Arcade, you can retrieve related records and do calculations. And you should be able to create charts based off your Arcade expression. This blog post has some examples. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/visualizing-data-from-related-records-using-arcade/ Also helpful, creating chart pop-ups with Arcade (it's for AGOL, but also works for Enterprise): https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-create-an-arcgis-online-map-viewer-pop-up-pie-ch-000030642 The downside is that the charts are going to be at the pop-up level instead of at the widget/app level, but it might be an alternative to using an EB widget. Of course the pop-ups will still be visible in your EB map, but it won't be through a widget. ... View more

You can kind of create unique IDs now. See this post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/creating-ticket-numbers-in-survey123-for-arcgis/ba-p/898870 You can also auto-populate questions from one form to another using custom S123 URLs. See here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/understanding-survey123-s-custom-url-scheme/ba-p/900291 I think the biggest question and issue to solve will be the people who come back a year later and using the same unique ID. The answer to this question will depend on your use case. It's very easy to accomplish if your users will be accessing this data through a web map. For example, business owner A goes into a web map and sees the previous survey they sent. They click on their previously submitted point and in the pop-up, a custom S123 URL appears that they can click, and it will launch the survey and auto-populate the unique ID. But if they will not be using a map, then that question becomes a lot harder to answer, and I'm not exactly sure how to accomplish that. ... View more

I probably won't be able to fully answer your question, but I can give you one piece of advice that I found out the hard way regarding Portal authentication and WebGISDR. The Portal initial administrator account in your new environment (the very first account you create when installing Portal) MUST have the same username and password as the initial admin account in your old environment (unless you have changed the username/password of your Portal PostgreSQL DB. See below for details). Otherwise, the WebGISDR will fail. Long explanation: Creating the initial admin account does two things. Create an admin Portal account. Creates an account for the underlying PostgreSQL DB that runs Portal using the same credentials as the admin Portal account. It is important to note that these two accounts are NOT connected to each other. So if you change the initial admin Portal account, the PG account will NOT change. What matters during the WebGISDR is that the username and password of the PG DB are the same. On a side note, you can change the username and password of the PG DB account here: https://portalURL.com/portal/portaladmin/system/database  To my knowledge, none of this information is documented anywhere (which seems pretty dangerous considering if you no longer have the credentials of the primary Portal account and/or PG account, it can render your WebGISDR backups useless). This may or may not impact the question you had about authentication.  Regarding running a restore only for Portal, I don't believe that is possible for a WebGISDR. I believe a WebGISDR is all or nothing, meaning your server and data store will also get restored. However, there are ways to restore specific components outside of the WebGISDR. For Portal, you can use the "importSite" operation found here: https://portalURL.com/portal/portaladmin/importSite  You mentioned you extracted the Portal backup from the WebGISDR, but I'm not sure if that backup will be compatible with the importSite operation. That's not something I have done before. Finally, regarding your last question, theoretically, a 12 month WebGISDR backup should be perfectly fine as long as the version of ArcGIS Enterprise has stayed the same and you haven't made any architectural changes to your enterprise deployment. It's just going to be a very old backup. ... View more

This might be possible using contingent values. It allows you to define valid field values that are dependent on values in other fields. It might be tedious to setup though. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/android/use-maps/fill-out-forms.htm You also might be able to accomplish this in Arcade, although it you might end up with a huge Arcade expression if you use a bunch of if statements. See this blog post. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/field-maps/field-mobility/common-calculated-expressions-for-arcgis-field-maps/   ... View more

There are two different ArcGIS Data Store log locations. One for the ArcGIS Data Store itself, and one for PostgreSQL database that the ArcGIS Data Store uses. ArcGIS Server Manager typically retrieves the data store logs, but not the PostgreSQL logs. It's a long shot, but it might be worth checking both of those logs to see if there is any additional details. I've solved a couple issues (unrelated to your issue) by looking at the PostgreSQL logs that would otherwise go unnoticed since Server Manager doesn't pull from them. Data Store: C:\arcgisdatastore\logs\hostname\server PostgreSQL: C:\arcgisdatastore\logs\hostname\database Besides that, what about disabling firewalls/antivirus on all ArcGIS Enterprise machines just to verify nothing is blocking it? Also make sure all the appropriate ports are open on all machines. Also just curious, do you have any existing hosted feature services that existed prior to you experiencing this issue? And if so, are you able to access them in Portal (like access the underlying data or view them in a web map)? ... View more

This is the real answer right here. Decoupling ArcGIS Solutions from ArcGIS Enterprise. Just like how Esri decoupled the Living Atlas content starting at 11.3. ... View more

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I went to the Damage Assessment help page here (Introduction to Damage Assessment) and it does not provide help documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2+. If you click the "Other versions" dropdown, 11.2 and 11.3 are greyed out, which typically means that feature or functionality is deprecated or retired at that version. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any official documentation regarding deprecation/retirement for the Damage Assessment solution. What's strange is that version 4.0 was released for AGOL, but not Enterprise, so I'm not sure what's going on with that. On a side note, I am running 11.2 and I also cannot find the Damage Assessment solution. I'm assuming that Esri removed that solution from Enterprise at 11.2+ ... View more

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. As long as you maintain the integrity of the backup files themselves, you can move them wherever you want and restore from them without an issue. You can specify the number of days to retain the backup files using the updatebackupretaindays.bat command. However, if you have slow transfer speeds to your NAS, the biggest concern I see is that you need to make sure you have enough time for your data store backups to transfer before the next backup cycle starts and deletes the old backup. Otherwise, you might get into a situation where the data store deletes the old backup while it is still transferring to the NAS. ... View more

Oh yeah, you can delete it. The web map is independent of the S123 form and is safe to delete. The web map contains the S123 feature service in it, but deleting the map won't delete the feature service or S123 form. ... View more
