Yes, I have talked at UC about this a couple of times. The answer I got was to host a feature service and query against that. Explaining that you can't do the level of search logic with that work flow as a geocoder/locator would seemed to fall on deaf ears. I think the reason there is AGOL relies on PostGIS as a backend much like Portal does; so there is no real geoprocessing backend like you see with AGS. ... View more

Maen Khamis‌ I think you should preface that example with the "Street Name" locator to say if your business case allows. Since this has the potential if not used/applied properly to create significant location issues that the user trying to look for a address may not realize. For example; State Highway can run for 10s or 100s of miles, and span multiple jurisdictions; so not finding a Point Level or Interpolated Address Range location and rolling down to the given Street Name could have you off spatially but a significant margin. Now as GIS Practitioners we get that; but a casual/non-GIS user who is using a app in Portal or even ArcGIS for Office who geocodes a list of addresses may not get that nuance. ... View more

The drawback here is that W3W goes a very different direction. ... View more

No I was asking as a extension of his question; we actually run Full FME Desktop and Server. We still have a license for Data-Interop; but that is used by other folks that don't need the full power and flexibility of FME. ... View more

Bruce Harold‌ why would ESRI decide to disable/limit Data-Interop reading GeoJSON? I know Full FME does this without question; so this was a ESRI choice. I'm just curious of that thought process...  ... View more

I would be interested to hear how this has been addressed? As far as I know all I have been told is "pay for it now". ... View more

No this is not a "Correct Answer" and this has not been addressed offline; this is a question to the users about their opinions. ... View more

This had previously been included as a component of the EEAP; but I was just informed this has now been pulled. So this gives on less reason to pay a hefty annual cost to ESRI. ... View more

I export them as logical blocks; export a given Zipcode, County, State, Watershed etc... ... View more

If you are selecting a point based on the map; what are you only doing a centroid of a 1k Poly? The full calculated location should be able to be returned. ... View more

Or shift the function of assigning the license to my.esri.com to keep all that kind of administration function together? ... View more

I find wrapping a Try/Catch deeper sometimes will get me more detail when the larger scale task is losing the context. In your case, try wrapping your: with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(tableName,field) as updateRows: loop; to see if you might have something that is escaping the SQL process. ... View more

I would add to this to also automatically send the Error Dump files from Services to ESRI Support. I have written jobs to do that monthly; but that being a core function would be a huge step forward. ... View more
