We have an ArcGIS stack hosted on MS Azure. We installed, configured, federated , and set up hosting servers: AGS, Portal for ArcGIS, and an ArcGIS Data Store. Now we could publish Survey123's. We quickly realized that we wanted to store Survey123 data on our local SDE instance - which happened to be on SQL Server. We looked into using the submission_url option and were quite pleased with the results. Deciding to save VM costs at Azure, and recognizing that we really don't need all the stuff that the ArcGIS Data Store offers, we put the 2 ArcGIS Data Store VMs on ice. Our existing Survey123 crew happily continued to march along, creating survey results and collecting data. This confirmed to us that the the ArcGIS Data Store wasn't really needed for Survey123. Until we wanted to add a new client to the Survey123 crew. At which point Survey123 informed us that "Survey123 requires that Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 or later and is configured with a Hosted Server and ArcGIS Data Store" So here's the rub: We've proven that existing Survey123s can consume surveys from Portal for ArcGIS where the surveys uses the submission_url option. This suggests that the ArcGIS Data Store isn't really needed in the Survey123 stack, except for the singular reason for Survey123 to connect to a federated Portal for only the initial connection. Once that connection is made, the Data Store is not used for anything ever again. And we're stuck paying the cost of maintenance on 2 VMs for the Data Store that (we think) isn't really doing anything. Which begs the questions: Does Survey123 really require the ArcGIS Data Store? If not, then how can we avoid the "Survey123 requires that Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 or later and is configured with a Hosted Server and ArcGIS Data Store" when attaching a new client. TIA ...

I working on map.infoWindow.resize(x,y) to resize my map popups based on the type and amount of content. This has begged the question: What is the default size of a map popup and how do I obtain this value? TIA ... View more

The error: {"error":{"code":400,"message":"Unable to complete operation.","details":["Error executing tool. Export Web Map Job ID: j56ff7247723a48e89f247ed4dfbb5d70"]}} The scenario: Local on-premise Portal for ArcGIS with federated ArcGIS Server Webmap which contains secured and shared on-premise map service and a remote secured map service. The remote map service is from ArcGIS Server that is not federated with their Portal for ArcGIS The local on-premise print geoprocessing service uses the same security as the local map service A resource proxy is used for both services - on-premise and remote. The local map service uses OAuth2 available via the proxy: <serverUrl matchAll="true" url="https://my.webadaptor.com/portal/" clientSecret="0dc210d467eat2me9e1a628767cec48b" clientId="MetY25mamaH20GSm" oauth2Endpoint="https://my.webadaptor.com/portal/sharing/oauth2/"/> The remote map service uses token authentication available via the proxy: <serverUrl matchAll="true" url="https://their.remoteserver.com" username="TheirUsername" password="TheirPassword!"/> The JSAPI code adds the proxy rules via esri/urlUtils: urlUtils.addProxyRule({ urlPrefix: "https://their.remoteserver.com/", proxyUrl: "my.webadaptor.com/dotnetproxy/proxy.ashx" }); urlUtils.addProxyRule({ urlPrefix: "https://my.webadaptor.com/", proxyUrl: "my.webadaptor.com/dotnetproxy/proxy.ashx" }); The URL via the proxy returns with the response above: https://my.webadaptor.com/dotnetproxy/proxy.ashx?https://my.webadaptor.com/arcgis/rest/services/Project/ExportWebMap/GPS…  When I connect to the respective REST catalogs I can successfully export with map services to graphic output. The webmap is created using the usual arcgisUtils.createMap method. The print dijit is created using the method shown in the sample:  Print webmap | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.18  In fact, if I modify the code in the sandbox to consume my webmap and use my proxy, it successfully generatesthe print if I use the Esri-host print geopocessing service. If I use my locally-hosted print geoprocessing service, the print fails with the same error shown at the top. So the question is, why can I not do this from my on-premise AGS + Portal? TIA ...

On premise we have the full stack of ArcGIS at 10.3.1: AGS, Portal, ArcGIS Data Store. The ArcGIS Data Store is an out-of-the-box configuration. The PostgreSQL geodatabase backend is used. I had my DevOps install and configure the ArcGIS Data Store for my hosted services (feature layers and Survey123). Following the instructions for publishing a hosted feature service here: https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2015/02/18/related-tables-exploring-new-ways-to-use-collector-for-arcgis/ (in fact, using the sample data from HydrantInspections!) I have enabled the feature service for offline use. GlobalID are there, etc. offline is enable in Portal, etc. In Collector I attempt to download the map and get the error below. I've looked in the AGS Server directories and do see the HydrantInspections.mxd and HydrantInspections.msd, so apparently those directories are visible when the feature service is created. However it appears that the path to the msd is not visible to the "Create Feature Service Replica" process. So... Can anybody give me a hand with this? ... View more

Usually they appear in title bars and message boxes. I've experienced this in Survey123 on iPad (3rd) and just today on Survey123-Connect on my MacBook (see screen snap below). I have an iPad Air (2nd) that I have not experienced this on. I can't recreate this, although in general it seems to happen after I do "a bunch of stuff", and so far as I can tell some network traffic may be involved. Has anybody else experienced this and don't anybody have any advice for avoiding it - particularly when I am giving demonstrations   TIA ... View more
