Before we start testing out disconnected editing with Collector, I wanted to make sure we have the correct software in place. What is the minimum required versions of SDE and Server for disconnected editing to function properly? Thanks in advance!

If I were to rename a feature class and related attachment table, would this cause any harm to the attachment relationship and functionality?...or would it continue to work?...Would I need to alter the attachment relationship properties? For example, I have a feature classes named: FCTest and the attachment table is called FCTest__ATTACH. If I were to rename the feature class to BuildingTest and the attachment table to BuildingTest__ATTACH, would this screw things up? If so, is there a workflow that would preserve the attachments to continue working after renaming the feature class and attachment table? Thanks in advance!

I am using the Attribute Assistant to try and auto-populate a field. I am trying to grab the nearest road name within 200 feet of a created point. The rule I have written in the DynamicValue table works, but only when I seem to have a limited number of features/layers within the map document. If I have just the point feature, the road layer and the DynamicValue table within my map document, the rule works as expected. However, if I start adding layers to ArcMap, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Below are the screenshots of the AttributeAssistant log file after a successful run and an unsuccessful run. All I have done to the map document is add layers between the successful and unsuccessful run. I have not altered the source data. Anyone have any ideas why it can't find the Roads feature class when failing? Success Error

First of all, in our case, the app is hosted on our web server, not ArcGIS Online, so if your app is hosted on AGOL, the solution may be different. To get the app to work, the app needs to registered on your ArcGIS Online site and the registered AppID you receive needs to be correlated to your app. These are the steps I took: 1) You need to add a web mapping application item to your AGOL site pointing to your app 2) Once added, you need to register the app. For the Redirect URI, I put in the URL to the web app, which again, in our case is hosted locally on our web server, not on AGOL. From what I've read, the Redirect URI is the URL you'll be redirected to once a successful login is made. When registered, you'll get an AppID. 3) Since our app is hosted on our web server, the AppID can then be entered into the config.json file at the root of the application folder (around line 12 of our config.json file). Once this was all in place, when I hit the URL of the app, I was prompted to login to AGOL. Once a successful login is made, a token is generated and you won't have to login again...unless you clear your browser cache. Hope this helps...and I hope I've explained it correctly. Anyone can feel free to correct me if needed.

I am receiving the error below when trying to add the Attribute Table widget using the Developer WebApp Builder 2.0 Beta. I'm assuming it has something to do with the characters used by the SHAPE field within a SDE SQL Geometry polygon -> Shape.STArea(). Is there a way to fix this?

I am using the developer WebApp Builder beta 2.0 and have an app built that uses a web map that is part of a private group on our AGOL site. When I download the app and deploy it to our web server and try to load it, I am prompted to sign in to view the web map. When I click OK to do so, I'm getting an invalid redirect error, show below. Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can't be the only person after an auto-incremented field within the database. Is there a way of doing this within SSMS with a trigger, stored procedure, etc...?

Is there a certain criteria where it would work and where it wouldn't? For a typical feature class, registered with the geodatabase, versioned or non-versioned (if versioned, I'm assuming it'd need to be on the A table if it would work). I'm really just after a good way of assigning an auto-incremented field in the table that is NOT the OBJECTID.

Is it possible to use the Identity property within SQL Server for a feature class?

Coming back to this topic...has anyone tried implementing a sequence to auto-increment a field within SQL Server...? Are sequences only available at SQL Server 2012 and above?...are they available within 2008 R2?

I have just started playing around with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and trying to insert a map into a report using our GIS features stored in SDE (SQL Server 2008 R2). It seems pretty straight forward, but I'm not getting the desired results. I'm trying to insert a map that centers and zooms to the parcel the report shows. I have a parameter set and my dataset is filtered by the input parameter. That all works fine as the information displayed is correct for the GPN (id) entered in the parameter. What isn't working though is the map. The map doesn't show anything. Our parcel layer is around 100,000 features. The feature class I'm pulling from is in Web Mercator projection. A couple questions / issues: 1) Does my feature class need to be in WGS84 in order to overlay a Bing basemap? --> The coordinate system is set to planar since this is a Projected coordinate system. Can you not switch the coordinate system to Geographic within SSRS and have the data re-projected? 2) Why is my spatial data not being filtered the same way as my field data? 3) Are there certain properties of the map that I'm overlooking? --> In the map layer properties, the 'Use spatial data from: ' property is set to 'Spatial field in an analytical data region' with the SHAPE field being used. The filter property is set to GPN = @prmGPN. I have also tried removing the polygon layer and adding just the Bing basemap to get the coordinate system into Geographic and then adding the polygon layer through the add layer wizard. When I do this, I get the error: 'Must declare the scalar variable "@prmGPN". What exactly does this mean? Any ideas / suggestions / thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ashley Seim‌ - We haven't had any issues when it comes to having the ability to add attachments on a mobile device using Collector. For the most part, I believe most of our users are using an Android device. The issue we were having is we had users trying to add attachments from their laptops through ArcGIS Online and it just didn't seem to work. We could browse to the photo we wanted to attach, but the photo wouldn't attach for whatever reason. For your issue...first of all, do you see the option to add an attachment in Collector? If memory serves me correct, once you create a feature, the ability to add an attachment is symbolized by a paper clip icon while filling out the attributes. If you don't see the paper clip icon, I might try re-publishing your service with feature access capability enabled. If you do see the paper clip icon and are having issues getting the attachments to post, that could be a whole different issue...internet connectivity, cellular reception, etc...

I went to open Operations Dashboard and it tries to update but fails. I've attached the log file produced when failing. Any ideas? I've tried using a username with Admin rights and it also fails there too.

Jake Skinner‌ Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I'm trying to export the contents of a map document to shapefiles and then zip the folder that contains the shapefiles. Below is the script I have written so far. It only exports 1 layer instead of the 3 layers that are in the map document. I'm wondering how to iterate through the data sources and export each one? import arcpy import os import glob import shutil import time MapDoc = r'\\...path to mapdoc.mxd' ShpDirectory = r'\\...path to ShapefileOut folder' ShpZip = r'\\...path to ShapefileZip folder' mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(MapDoc) lyrs = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd) for lyr in lyrs: try: print(lyr.name,lyr.dataSource) except: print('Unable to retrieve layer information') inFeatures = lyr.dataSource inFeatureName = lyr.name arcpy.FeatureClassToShapefile_conversion(inFeatures, ShpDirectory) shutil.make_archive(ShpZip, "zip", ShpDirectory) del mxd I'm wondering what needs to be done to export each individual layer's data source? Thanks in advance!
