Thanks for shedding some light on this issue. So if I upgrade to 10.4 (giving me the ability to set a time zone) can I expect to resolve the issue or would it still require javascript date object hacks? ... View more

It returns a date for the previous day instead of the day specified. I don’t know that its always the previous day. It may be whatever the day is when the expression is originally setup. I should also mention that our date fields will sometimes have hours minutes and seconds populated. Specifically, we have date/time for a scheduled inspection. Whatever date is selected from the calendar in the widget the results are returned incorrectly. I’ve tried to format it as a string instead of a date but that won’t work either. ... View more

I have a little bit of insight from my own troubleshooting of the camera related crashes. Zooming the camera works for the first four photos. Zoom on the 5th photo = crash This happened using Large and Medium sized photos and on two different ipad airs. I don't think that the resolution/data size is the culprit. It seems to be zoom related. Without zooming we tried sending eight photos and experienced no issues. Above it was mentioned that you could use an aftermarket camera app. This makes sense since you would necessarily be taking photos outside of Collector thus you would not be zooming with Collector being active (can't crash if it isn't on, right?). I would speculate that you really don't need a different camera app but if you need to zoom in and out while taking photos, that you would need to exit Collector first (for photos beyond the fourth). Thoughts? ... View more

Yep. Good info. Thanks. Xubuntu is same as Ubuntu but with XFACE instead of Gnome or Mate or whatever Ubuntu standard is running. All the same under the hood though. It uses Ubuntu repos. ... View more

I just built a postgres geodatabase on it. That works and seems reasonably quick. As for Distro Wars, I wouldn’t be that amazed. You guys have selected Red Hat as the officially supported linux distro for servers…but then you selected Ubuntu 12 for AppStudio. It would seem distro wars have arrived at ESRI already ☺. Casting my vote for Xubuntu or CentOS with two big thumbs down to any non-free distro. Thanks, Vince -Scott ... View more

Thanks, Vince. Avoidance is probably the best and simplest answer. I'm constantly having to remind myself to be a realist rather than an idealist when it comes to ESRI products. Just because, ideally, I should be able to utilize this linux box's 6TB of storage for geodata, doesn't mean that I really can. Realistically, linux isn't one OS. It's thousands. So I get why it's hard to support. That said, an official ESRI linux distro would be awesome. Let's say with postgres pre-configured and samba pre-configured. Pretty please with sugar on top? Ubuntu-based? (Now I've went and sparked a distro debate...) ... View more

On my samba folder, I did a chmod –R 777. I can read and write anything other than a file gdb from an external source (like another geodatabase on a different server). Do you have any special parameters set in smb.conf for that share or globally? You’re using 10.1 right? I’m on 10.3. Could be a difference maybe? ... View more

Here’s what I get. See pdf. ... View more

Filip, Can you import or copy in a feature class from elsewhere? I can create things too (file gdb, feature class in that file gdb) but feature class to feature class bombs every time. ... View more

Xubuntu 14.04 (doesn’t work in CentOS either), samba 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7, 10.2.2 or 10.3 ... View more

In general. You can create a file gdb in a samba share and it will have some functionality but you can’t import to it or do anything that creates a schema lock. I think locks get written and then can’t be unwritten regardless of permissions and such. I’ve long since given up on the file gdb and moved on to using postgres on that box. That was really painful to implement but it works. ... View more

Is there really any use for some crazy custom-made set of ssurgo attributes? SSURGO geodatabases have a ton of good info...most of which is really not pertinent to local government. Why couldn't you guys on the LGIM team at least use the same field names when calling for a common dataset? I'm beginning to think the LGIM team is being led by the Riddler. WTF? ... View more
