Have you thought about having the ability to sync the data over to SQL like the Survey123 guys script does?  I tried using that script for other HFS but it fails.  A sync to SQL is more handy then just a download. https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/12/14/migrating-data-from-the-survey-feature-service-to-an-enterprise-geodatabase  ...

I am trying to edit the script to use created_date instead of CreationDate.  The HFS has created_date whenever editor tracking is enabled before a publish to AGO.  (why the two ways use different names is beyond me). But I can not seem to edit a imported toolbox script.  I found some posts that maybe it is a bug.  When I right click then edit it does not save the changes and then script fails saying it can not find it. If I do an export then import the changes are there but I get this error? Any hints? ... View more

Esri support said that they line is referring the normal steps such as Global IDs.  They did say though the biggest thing is to make sure ALL replicas are perfectly in sync before creating another one when using the register existing data option.  Rec and Post and Compress first is not required but it is a good idea. ...

This seems to only support creating from something that is hosted already.  It does not seem to be able to tile say internal SQL data.  I built 50+ a week all from a dir of maps that link to a SQL db. Does it use the standard Esri cache tools in the background?  If so there are 4 bugs open (by me) on the Create tile package, export tiles, and manage tiles tools that have been open for over 2 years now.  Most are issues with how the xml file is built.  It causes issues in several of our tools. Also a note the 1gb limit is below what almost all of our caches are.  That is mostly due to the fact that the tools do not truly respect the AOI parameter due to the xml issues. I have also found last week that Manage tool incorrectly lists all levels in the xml not just the levels asked for.  This causes the cache to disappear when zooming past the cache level made when using in ArcMap. I have built 100s of caches the last 2 years and these issues have caused me hours and hours of time. Thanks a lot ... View more

After republishing twice it starting working again.  No idea what happened. Thanks ... View more

Yep I turned it off and on again to see if that worked.  It did but added the extra fields now. I can not republish this data.  The URL is burned into 100+ tablets so it would be a major effort to change.   Again 2 of my 3 are fine but the 3rd and a new one i made will not work.  I published via ArcMap 10.2.2.  The brand new one I tried today has never worked. Why did AGO go off on its own naming convention?  This has been causing me issues for years! thanks ... View more

I turned tracing off then back on again.  It started working again BUT it now created the other named fields also.  So now I have 2 tracking fields for each.   I also have 2 other exact same services and are still working just fine. Can someone shed light on to why this all changed and how to fix it back to the way it was. thanks ... View more

Yes I can share to another Org but only via a group.  I read all the changes and nothing about sharing to another Org that I see. Organization administration Administrators can now configure an optional Shared Theme to support consistent branding of web apps and Open Data sites created by members of the organization. Four new privileges are available for custom roles. Members can now be assigned the privilege to create and own groups that allow members to update all items in the group, a privilege previously reserved for default administrators. Privileges to view organization members, view content shared with the organization, and view groups shared with the organization have also been added. Together, these privileges allow organizations to limit access to content for some members by giving them only view access to content shared with them through groups to which they belong. To take advantage of one or more of these new privileges in an existing custom role, edit the role, add the new privilege, and the save the role. Administrators can now assign groups and credit limits to members during the invitation process. Organizations that use enterprise logins can now automatically synchronize member profiles with the latest account information from the identity provider ... View more

You can bring up and old one from the sent box, change, then resubmit.  That way you have a record of both. ... View more
