The issue is the extent of the cache is wrong in the xml - way bigger than the extent of the actual data.  So say you had one image in Oregon, Texas, and New York.  You set the AOI so that only tiles are built in those 3 areas not the entire country.  But the tool sets the extent of the whole country anyway.  Then when AGO sees the extent it guesses the number of tiles to be massive. Same basic thing with the export tool. The extents are not set correctly in the xml which causes all kinds of problems. In my case I am using the tools in ArcMap.  Not the server tools and not having AGO build the tiles.  I build the tpk then upload it. ... View more

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 ... View more

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. ... View more

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.

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<module1>", line 21, in <module>   File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\lib\site-packages\arcrest\agol\layer.py", line 740, in query     return FeatureSet.fromJSON(json.dumps(results))   File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\lib\site-packages\arcrest\common\general.py", line 590, in fromJSON     for feat in jd['features']: KeyError: 'features' Also is there any docs on any of this.  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. ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ...

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.) ... View more
