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 ... View more

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 ... View more

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?

I am running this command in a python script arcpy.ExportTileCache_management(unzipedTPK, pathTPK, justfilenameTPK, "TILE_PACKAGE", "#", "#", boundryFile) It works fine if I run it in PyScripter.  It also runs fine if I run it from a batch file.  But if I schedule that batch file with Task Scheduler it dies with this error. ExecuteError: ERROR 001132: Failed to export cache ERROR 001485: Failed to create tile package : \\hnrgad\vancouver\GISFiles\Projects\MobileMap Data\CurrentBuilds\BC\TPK\BCSettings.tpk Failed to execute (ExportTileCache). I found old bugs that it does not pick of the user correctly but nothing that is recent.  It seems to die on trying to create a subdir.  It will create the main names dir and conf.cdi, conf.properties, and conf.xml but not anything else.  The task seems fine and has rights in every other part of the script (runs Create Tile Package to same location fine). The user is in the Admin group. Any ideas? 10.3, Windows 7 Enterprise Thanks ... View more

I am trying to figure out how to set the default style of a python addin (add-in) button so that it shows both the text and image icon.  It will only show the icon until I manually change it to Image and Text in customize. I found this in the forum but it does nothing. showCaption="true" Thanks ... View more

We had a checkout replica go corrupt on us and just seeing if anyone had any info.  The replica disappeared off the list on both the check out and the db it was checked out from - even though no one was trying to check it in.  A table showed up in the checkout GeoDB called ORG_NameofFC where NameofFC was the name of the only FC in the GeoDB.  This table had 108 records in it that seemed to be random - main FC has 6,650 records.  They did not line up at all with the changes that had been made in the checkout nor were they recent data at all.   The only thing I have found searching is that ORG_ tables should be system tables.  This user has been using checkouts and checkins 6+ times in the last few weeks with no issues.  But again they were not even trying to check in.  The replica log shows nothing on that day.   Any info on any logs, properties, or anything else I can look at to track it down would be great.   Thanks ...

Is there a way to find the relative replica of a replica in a script?  Synchronize Changes tool needs the name of the relative to sync to.  Instead of having the user pick I want to find it myself.  When running the Synchronize Changes tool through a right click it seems to know where the relative is - even though you can change it, it does default to the correct location.  I can not find any properties that tell me this.  Where is it getting this value and how can i get it? ListReplicas gives me the name of the replica but not where the check out replica came from. Any ideas? --------------------- code replica_gdb2 = ??? arcpy.SynchronizeChanges_management(replica_gdb1, replica_name, replica_gdb2, sync_direction, conflict_policy, conflict_detection, reconcile) Thanks ...
