Hi Tiffany, Can you share the URL to the misbehaving service? Does it act any differently in a different browser? I might try clearing your browsing history. I've gotten some funky behavior in AGOL that was fixed by doing that. Finally, can you hit Control + Shift + I to bring up the developer console, go to the Console tab, and see if there are any browser errors? That might give some more troubleshooting info. Micah ...

Hi George, There's not enough information in your post for anyone to offer you assistance. Here's what I'd recommend: Explain how your process is supposed to work Clearly state what the problem is - don't forget to give an example! Post your code using code formatting ("syntax highlighter" in the format menu) Micah ... View more

Hi Bob, You should be fine having attribute indexes in your master geodatabase and using replication with your file geodatabases. The help docs for Importing a replica schema—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS Desktop indicate that attribute indexes are ignored during schema comparison: Some changes can be applied to individual replica geodatabases but have no effect on data synchronization. For example, adding or removing an attribute index is not detected or even synchronized during schema synchronization. A replica may have indexes that the relative replica doesn't have, but since data synchronization is not affected, this difference is ignored. It's probably a good idea to use the Rebuild Indexes tool after synchronizing your replicas for performance reasons. See Rebuild dataset indexes using the Rebuild Indexes tool—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS Desktop. Happy replicating/syncing! Micah ... View more

Hi Molly, A couple questions/thoughts that might get you going: What kind of geodatabase are you using to store the data? What is the intended purpose of the GUID field (are you using it as a primary or foreign key to relate to another table or feature class)? Did you try creating an attribute index on the field with the "unique" option set? Add Attribute Index—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop  Would a GlobalID field be more appropriate? GlobalID - GIS Wiki | The GIS Encyclopedia  Would this widget in the production editing toolbar work for ya? Populating the GUID field—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  Hope this helps!

Hey John, Dan and Steve raise good points. To expand on those points: Work in file geodatabase rather than shapefile (shapefiles are difficult to index efficiently which will slow down your process) Use The in_memory workspace if at all possible - it'll run faster because the data need not be written to your hard drive or network location Process the data locally on your C drive if in_memory doesn't work. You can pick your own place or use the Scratch GDB, which will do the work in your user profile. Finally, one question: do you need the spatial join? Depending on your cell size, the characteristics you are trying to portray, and your accuracy/precision constraints, you may just be able to run polygon to raster directly on your census blocks and skip the whole spatial join step. Good luck! Performance issues can be tough to handle but they make for good learning experiences. Micah ... View more

Hey Melissa, Is the table actually empty after you use delete rows? You might try using Truncate Table—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop instead. Also, I would connect the output of your alter field tool to the append to get the correct order of operations. Micah ... View more

Ah, now I see that URL in the REST queries being made in the network traffic dialog. Thanks, good to know! ... View more

I think you're correct! How did you find it? I typically open the developer console in my browser and examine the Sources tab looking for anything that looks like a REST services directory. In this case I couldn't find one that looked right. Edit: Looking at the source HTML, I see the following code block: function init() { var point = new esri.geometry.Point([-120.001280,44.793310]); var map = new esri.Map("map_canvas", { center: point, // longitude, latitude zoom: 6, logo: false, showAttribution: false }); var basemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("https://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"); map.addLayer(basemap); var firemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("https://tmservices1.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/LiveFeeds/Wildfire_Activity/MapServer"); map.addLayer(firemap); } dojo.ready(init);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ So would it be https://tmservices1.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/LiveFeeds/Wildfire_Activity/MapServer? ...

Hiya Charmaine, Sounds like it could be your network connection, contention, and/or network latency. Is there a GIS/IT admin or manager to whom you can report this issue? In general, drawing over 1000 features in one web map extent is know to cause performance problems. Also, a ton of other users accessing the same service (or others) can lead to a lot of network contention. Good luck, Micah ... View more

Yes sir, it does! Nice use of the field mapping object, by the way. I may be able to make use of that technique in some of my own scripts. Cheers, Micah ... View more

Hi Juan, It would help to understand the business requirements for the workflow. What is the purpose of Collector and Navigator in this workflow? Meaning, why not just use Google Maps? If you need to integrate mapping, routing, and data collection, have a look at Workforce for ArcGIS. It does integrate Navigator, Collector, and Survey123. Micah ... View more
