It may be useful to allow users to enter / view hexadecimal numbers in the ArcGIS Desktop Color Selector. This would make it easier to match colors with ArcGIS Online.

I would like to see a couple usability improvements to Table to Table and Feature Class to Feature Class Add the ability to reorder the output fields Currently we can only reorder input fields This will allow users to permanently reorder fields into a new table or feature class, which is something many people want. Reordering fields would be useful if we accidently delete an output field in the field map. Add the Ability to reread the schema for the field map (Model Builder) If the schema of the input feature / table changes it may be impractical to another feature class to feature class tool. The option to reread schemas would fix the available fields in the Add Input dialog box. Rereading the schema would be useful if our input table / feature class is changed and we are dealing with many fields

Please consider adding a model builder tool that can shutdown and start up ArcGIS Server. This would be useful to add to a script so we can shut down the server, update the gis data, then start the gis server back up. In addition it would be useful if the tool could shut down services on a remote computer so I do not have to log into the server to shutdown or startup services. Thank You

This would also be useful for symbology based on joined tables. I have two seperate road condition files, one for 2007, and another for 2011. Through label expressions I can create a difference, percent change, and etc. However symbology is limited to normalization to compare one year to the next.

Chris and others, If the topology between the line and polygon features were perfect, that would work. However, the problem I face is that the data is originating from two different sources. If the line is off from the polygon boundary by up to 25 feet or so I still want to consider that line as “running along the boundary.” The first thing that came to mind was that I could buffer polygon boundaries. The purple line would correctly be located within the buffered 18-028005-0 polygon, and the buffered 18-028004-0 polygon. However, a fraction of the endpoints would also be located within the 18-028001-1, and 18-028003-0 polygon. I am not really sure how to deal with a tolerance. Thanks Sincerely, Mark Volz, GISP

Hello, I need to figure out a way to determine if a line is along a boundary of two polygons. If the line is on the boundary, or within a tolerance of the actual boundary line, then I will need to credit each of the polygons by 50% of the length. If the line runs through a polygon then that polygon will get 100% of the credit for the portion of line. How can I do this in ArcGIS Advanced? Thanks

Hello, Please consider adding a tool in ArcCatalog that will alow us to create a model that will update data that is stored in ArcGIS Online (AGOL). Useful features: Warn if the schema is different between the existing feature class and the new feature class. If the schema is different give the user the option to abort, or ignore updating the data. If a user is updating data from a regular feature class, then keep the existing symbology from ArcGIS Online. If a user is updating data from a layer file, then ask the user if they want to update symbology with the .lyr file, or keep the existing AGOL symbology. Rational: Currently we use model builder to publish data from a production Geodatabase to a published / presentation Geodatabase. In addition to updating data that gets consumed by ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server, it would also be useful if we could add a tool in our model so that the data in AGOL can get updated as well. Thank You!

It would be useful if users could print an AGOL presentation to a PDF. Thank You

Our GIS Server has a copy of ArcGIS Basic on it so we can set up web applications on it. It would be useful if we could use ArcGIS Basic to create new datasets within SDE

Hello, We can set up several types of symbols in Layer Properties -> Symbology -> catogories. I noticed there is checkbox to turn all other values on or off quickly. Please consider adding a checkbox by all of the symbols so that we can easily turn "County Roads" on or off with a click of a button while keeping the other types of roads on. Thanks

Samuel, I am closer to a solution. I figured out that by default the backup for SQL Server appends data instead of deletes data. I fixed that part by deleting the backup file before running the backup script. I still am having trouble as I can manually run the .bat file, but it seems that the task scheduler will not. I will take a closer look at the link that you provided to see if that will help out. This is what my batch file looks like now: cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup" del MyBackupFile.bak "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" -i"C:\SQLBackupScripts\MySQLFile.sql" -S "localhost\sqlexpress" cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup" copy MyBackupFile.bak \\AnotherServer\AShareOnTheServer$\MyBackupFile.bak /y cd /d "C:\SQLBackupScripts" The SQL file has not really changed: BACKUP DATABASE [MyDatabase] TO DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup\MyBackupFile.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'MyDatabase-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO So once again, the above code works fine now when I manually run the backup script. Now I need to figure out how to automate the backups.

Hello, I would like to try to create a script so I can automatically backup my ArcSDE data that is stored on SQL Server Express. I am using ArcGIS for Server Workgroup Standard v 10.2.2. My SQL Server is MSSQL Server Express 2008 R2 which is shipped with ArcGIS 10.2. I have create a backup sql and batch script on the server, however when I try to restore the database using ArcGIS Catalog then ArcCatalog crashes. The batch file looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" -i"C:\SQLBackupScripts\LQPMonday.sql" -S "localhost\sqlexpress" The SQL file looks like this: BACKUP DATABASE [ParcelsLQP] TO DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup\LQPParcelsMonday.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'ParcelsLQP-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO Results: The backup appears to run and it creates a backup file in about four seconds. The file size is about twice as large compared to when I create a backup using ArcCatalog-->Database-->Administration-->Backup. Question: Is there a way to automate backups for SQL Server Express? Thanks
