Can multiple forms use the same external choices sheet? If so can I then update itemsets.csv in AGO and the new choices are available to all the forms? thanks

Tech support finally confirmed this is a big with the Manage Tile Cache tool. The tool (and apparently all the tools) do not respect the AOI part of the tool. The extents get all messed up. The issue is known and has been assigned. I have an open ticket on the export tool as well with the same bug on extent. Many months lost on these bugs. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks. I do not necessarily think the number of tiles is wrong since this is high res imagery. But what I can not understand is why it goes from 8 GB to 1 PB.

I have a tpk that is 8.5 GB and uses a custom scale from 1:2400 to 1:40. This is high res 1 inch imagery but the areas covered are not very large. When I go to publish the tpk in AGO the Manage Tiles button tells me there are 26 Billion tiles! ( Even after I remade it using 512x512). Manage is telling me it will be 1 PB just for the 1:40. It just keeps spinning and refuses to unpack anything. Why is it showing such an enormous size when the tile cache is just 8.5 GB on disk? I did a Mange build with a AOI. I did a one image test before and it worked fine - total of 7,000 tiles. I can share if needed. Thanks

Do you use the rest to get around the feature return limit? That seems to be an issue with using the layer file - it will only return the first X records as set in the service. The create replica script worked great. The query script gave me this error C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\lib\site-packages\requests\packages\urllib3\util\ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available.

There are many options in the Create Replica but nothing on what they mean. I was wondering if I could get a locals copy that will show as a replica and then I can sync back and forth with it. It seems like you can get a copy locally or keep the replica around but not both. All i can find is the comments in the code replicaName - string of replica name layers - layer id # as comma seperated string keep_replica - if the replica does not have returnAsFeatureClass set to true, the feature service creates a permanent copy of the replica. If this is just a pull, then erase the replica in order to prevent build up of replicas. layerQueries - In addition to the layers and geometry parameters, the layerQueries parameter can be used to further define what is replicated. This parameter allows you to set properties on a per layer or per table basis. Only the properties for the layers and tables that you want changed from the default are required. Example: layerQueries = {"0":{"queryOption": "useFilter", "useGeometry": true, "where": "requires_inspection = Yes"}} geometryFilter - Geospatial filter applied to the replica to parse down data output. returnAttachments - If true, attachments are added to the replica and returned in the response. Otherwise, attachments are not included. returnAttachmentDatabyURL - If true, a reference to a URL will be provided for each attachment returned from createReplica. Otherwise, attachments are embedded in the response. returnAsFeatureClass - If a local copy is desired, set this parameter to True, else the service will return information on how to download the json file. out_path - Path where the FGDB will be saved. Only used with returnAsFeatureClass is True. thanks

I now have it working in a toolbox run from within ArcMap. Turns out my lyr file went bad somehow. Would still like any input on stand alone though.

I have a simple script to grab the data from a HFS. It works great if the HFS sharing is Everyone but I can not get it to work with a username/password. I know that arcpy.SignInToPortal_server was removed (even though it worked great). I have also tried using he script in a toolbox then run inside of ArcMap but that does not work either. I do have ArcMap open and signed in. I use a layer file that points to the HFS. Any help on the proper way to do this is great. I am using 10.2.2 but could use 10.3.1 also. import arcpy localDB = r"something.gdb" justPlots = r"JustPlots.lyr" # Load in from AGO HFS arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(justPlots, "plots_lyr") arcpy.Append_management("plots_lyr", localDB + "\\Plots", "NO_TEST") Thanks

Do you turn on edit tracking after you publish (in AGO) or before (in ArcMap)? It creates totally different fields (for some reason) depending on when you do it. I have had luck turning on editor tracking first in ArcMap then publishing.

The way it is now you have to click the feature template you want, then add the feature, then close the attribute box, then click the feature template again to go on to the next one. We need to do some fast feature adding and this slows us way down. It seems like you can click the feature template again and that removes the attribute box but is there a way to default to the last feature template used or have it just stay selected (or a default one or something). That way we could add features one after the other without all the extra clicks. For example if a point I want to be able to just click, click, click and immediately add 3 features. (This IS possible in ArcMap). I even have just one Feature template and it still unselects it after each feature add. At this point we will have to not use Arc Online for this project. Just plain too slow. Thanks

10.1 will let you export Esri layers to a tpk. It was taken out after and was supposed to be back for 10.3.1 but was not.

‎09-02-2015

10.1 will let you make a Tile Package of any online layer including ESRI basemaps. I keep a old machine around just for this. I have gone up to a 9 gb tpk with no issues (we use this one unpacked though since it is faster). This was taken out due to "licensing" I heard and was supposed to be put back in at 10.3.1 but it was not. We use a 3rd party product that lets us use 80+ tpk files and turn them on and off like layers (not just for basemap). It also lets us use a SD Card so we can carry around 30+GB of tpks covering all our area. In testing the sd card was just as fast if not faster than internal. Really hope Collector gets this at some point.

The app seems to be for allowing mapping of Excel table data in a map. But is it possible to instead see the attribute data of a ArcGIS Online service in an excel table? Hopefully then I could set it to a pivot table, etc. In other words I would just like to browse my attribute table in a excel sheet. Thanks

I have a standard weekly maintenance script that runs Compress, Rebuild Indexes, and Analyze each weekend (python script called from a bat file). It runs fine on 9 of our 10 servers (slight ram increase but not so much it is an issue). But 1 server runs up the memory to the high 90% range then either gives a out of memory error and ends the script or it completes the script but leaves so little memory left that I have to reboot the server after. When I run it manually I can see the ram steadily creep up and up - 2-10% increase for each db it hits - there are just 5 sde dbs. A fresh reboot will run ram from 25% to about 75%. At the end of the week the server is at about 55% and runs to 95-98% then gets mad. Most Dbs the rebuild takes 1-4 minutes but I have one db that takes 13 minutes - and this db seems to grow the ram the most. I have tried everything I can think of but it still happens every single weekend. It has replica copies of the same DBs that other servers have so not sure why this one server has an issue. The rebuilds take about the same about of time as other servers. I did find several bad spatial indexes (9999999 to -9999999 on the extent) and fixed them all but still does it. Have checked all regular extents and all good. I then set the max ram in sql but it still goes right past it and runs out. This server is part of a VM that had log issues once that affected memory but that has been all cleaned up. I do see that it lists the GeoDB version as 10.1 where we are 10.2.2. In the Domain, Resolution, Tolerance tab I have a min Y of -9998099.99992653 and a Mix X of -5120899.99993323 which seems odd. This is a UTM 10 db. Any other ideas on what I can try? Win 2008 R2 Server Enterprise 64 bit Arc 10.2.2 SDE MSSQL 2008 R2 Thanks

Also tried Psexec with no luck. For now I have to leave the user logged in and just pray that no one logs it off or a reboot does not happen. (It runs over the weekend so I can not babysit it.)

I have now found that it will work if the scheduled job option is set to "Run only when user is logged in". But this of course does not help me much. There is some security option deep in there that is wrong.
