Rule #3: When entering a date field, a default time of 12:00 am is entered when a time is not specified. There seemed to be a suggestion this could be overcome using publishing options for a hosted feature service, that doesnt seem to be the case for an ArcGIS server feature service on Portal (please show the light if i'm wrong). Currently users are inputting a date only, which takes the current UK time back an hour to UTC, and subsequently 11pm the previous day. Is there any workaround other than correcting the times post-edit?   Cheers ... View more

Awesome thanks Andres, I'll need to delve into those tools. How have you found matching up the URLs and what looks like incremental content references in the config of Web Maps/Apps etc in Test and Prod? ... View more

I'd set the parameter as FeatureSet and apply a point FC's schema to it. ... View more

More to see whats under the hood, whats the actual output and tool doing? ... View more

You might find if you add a template schema (point feature class) to your input parameter on the tool before publishing, it should limit the options to point (also try the smart edit widget first, as it might have better customisation without having to resort to this). I'd also like to know how to limit it to one point only. ... View more

In your code are you setting the parameter e.g. arcpy.SetParameter(your_result, x)? ... View more

I would say so, do you have a tiling scheme set up for Palestine_1923? This would need to be supplied if it's to be cached. ... View more

I'm guessing the indentation is just messed up from a copy/paste? Is this published with full messaging enabled, and is this the error from running it on desktop aas a service, or on AGOL? Maybe the feature is locked out and/or needs to be edit mode for the cursor operation, or you could try without the with statement and delete the cursor after? ... View more

Hi, I'm guessing IDLE or otherwise is disabled by policy?  ... View more

There's better workflows, but for a beginner to GIS I might advise: 1. Create buffers from all your points - e.g. buffer all points by 100m 2.Run the Count Overlapping Features (Analysis)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation tool. (if you don't have pro this may be a bit harder and need some spatial joins etc. let me know if this is the case) 3. use the 'select by location' tool (having selected only those buffer features with an overlap count >= 3) to find the original points within those areas. ...

Asynchronous processing might be best for longer processes, something to try at-least. ... View more

Mostly yes, How I see it is: 1.Create a dictionary with polygon IDs as Keys, and a list of datetimes as Values - using a cursor to evaluate geometry(SHAPE@).disjoint . 2.run through all the Keys in the dictionary with a simple sorted() list of the values, and grab the first index (they are datetime objects than can be ordered, probably best to create another dictionary with key as ID and value as that lowest date value) 3.a final update cursor to replace the date value for matching polygons IDs ...
