To my knowledge, that is not going to be possible. I also just installed 10.9.1. You can configure email with Portal, where if a user forgets their password, they can reset it. They will receive an auto email from your Portal to reset it. However, they MUST answer their security question. I'm going to argue that having security questions does not defeat the purpose of anything. Security questions are designed to be remembered easily. If a user cannot remember their own security question (for example, the city they are born), then I think you might have some bigger problems with your users. And to my knowledge, there is not a way to ask the user to change their password upon logging in for the first time like AGOL. What you might be able to do is set their password upon creating their account, then immediately resetting their password and sending that to them. Then, it should ask them to set a new password (that's how it works with 10.6.1, haven't confirmed with 10.9.1). ... View more

Have you tried closing all of the other connections to the DB and trying again? It will fail if other users are connected. You might have to kill all the connections directly through SSMS. ... View more

Yikes, Esri designated that as "low." How can Esri release a "new" map viewer that they are showing off and making it sound like we should switch over to it when they don't even match the existing functionality in their existing map viewer? If Esri is going to release a new product that replaces an existing one, there at least needs to be feature parity at release. It's like ArcGIS Pro all over again. Encouraging everyone to migrate to Pro when it doesn't even have feature parity with ArcMap, and having to wait years for that to happen. ... View more

Wow, I did not realize that the map viewer does not include related table support. I was just able to replicate that in our dev 10.9.1 environment (we're still using 10.6.1 for production). How does Esri leave out such critical (not to mention basic) functionality? I understand that classic still exists in Enterprise, but related table is basic functionality that I would expect to exist in the new map viewer. https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.9.1/use/limitations-and-compatibility-mv.htm ...

Yep, anti-virus identified ArcGIS Monitor as a security threat. Thank you! ... View more

All of your hosted feature services you published are in there as tables/views. So, if you publish a parcel table as a hosted feature service, that will show up as a table in the ArcGIS Data Store in the PostgreSQL database. With that being said, you can't just go in and create/delete tables (well, you could, but Esri wouldn't recognize them). All of the interactions you do with the tables needs to be through Esri. Although, editing data directly through the DB should be fine, in theory. Doing anything with the data store outside of Esri is still a risk though. ... View more

All the ArcGIS Data Store is is a PostgreSQL database. You can connect to it through PGAdmin or any other PostgreSQL tool. From there, you can query the tables, monitor sizes, etc. like any other PostgreSQL database.  As far as backups, you can manage the backups through Esri here using the backupdatastore command: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/data-store/latest/install/windows/data-store-utility-reference.htm ...

For what it's worth, the export does work correctly with PDFs, although that doesn't do me much good since I need a picture format. I also tried this on multiple computers, one with ArcGIS Pro 2.7, and one with the latest release. Also, it seems to more of an issue with large format exports (for example, 48 x 36). It seems to work correctly at small sizes. Finally, it seems to work correctly when using the native coordinate system (web mercator), even at large sizes. But if I change the data frame coordinate system to be Robinson, that is when it no longer exports out some of the colors. Yes, it is publicly accessible. https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/RS8mqPfEEjgYh6uG/arcgis/rest/services/flight_routes/MapServer I was able to retrieve the underlying data and re-create the map myself and export it correctly with color, so it's not too big of a deal. I was just curious if anyone else had this issue. ... View more

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it! We're doing a full migration, so our GIS and DB servers will all be migrated at one time. We won't have any VPN tunnels linking AWS GIS to on-prem DB. We know that latency would probably be a nightmare.  Since everything is being migrated, all hostnames, DB servers, etc. will be staying the same, so I'm thinking there won't be any FQDN or registered data source issues. I'm not aware of any modifications that will need to be made (besides the DNS pointing to AWS instead of on-prem, but that's beyond my scope of responsibilities). We considered WebGISDR, but it's kind of our backup method in case list-and-shift doesn't work. The lift-and-shift method is a little more straight forward for us to use. Anyway, thank you for your response! I was just making sure we aren't setting ourselves up for failure, and I'm glad to hear that other people have used this migration strategy before. ... View more
