Here's the function I use for sending emails (Python 3). def sendEmail(subject="", body_content="", to=[], cc=[], bcc=[], from_addr="[email protected]"): """Send a plain text email.

I just ignore that temp path for the sde connection file. Use the workspace properties to inspect the connection, find the appropriate dictionary key by comparing connection properties (not file path), and then update the connection properties from there. For example, my common use is updating the database instance from test to production. You would be looking up the connection properties from your dictionary connections rather than hard coding the value, but you would still update the connection properties similarly. for layer in map.listLayers(): if layer.supports("connectionProperties"): cp = layer.connectionProperties for key, value in cp["connection_info"].items(): cp["connection_info"][key] = value.replace("testInstance", "prodInstance") layer.updateConnectionProperties(layer.connectionProperties, cp) ...

Ah, yes, good point! You would probably have to leverage the await operator. ... View more

Are you sure they're in the right order when read into list_address and params? ... View more

Is the order based on a sorting definition for a particular field or set of fields? If not, you would have to reference the original order and copy each geocode row out individually in the order you want. ... View more

You can develop everything in your JavaScript Maps SDK 4.x app with plain, vanilla JavaScript. Although Esri notes on building with AMD: For new projects integrating the API into third party frameworks or build tools we recommend using local builds with @arcgis/core ES modules. You should build with ES Modules. Apparently esri-loader will be going away with the next release (4.29). heads up: esri-loader is deprecated in 4.29 of the... - Esri Community ... View more

This reminds me of the struggles people have with their HOA and local code enforcement authorities during events like No Mow May. Changing public perception about the nature of your landscape is a big hurdle. You might be interested in reading Nature's Best Hope, by Douglas W. Tallamy. ... View more

Human development of almost every kind has a direct, negative impact on climate change. It might be good to clarify that just because you're focusing on HOAs, that is only one of many developments that should be evaluated. Your hypothesis is focused on HOAs, but you are describing how you would survey home owners, which seems like it would kind of change the focus. If you were to somehow gather HOA development and landscape requirements as set forth by the city or county, it might be better to analyze the effect of those requirements on climate change. Or maybe how many or how much of the HOA developments actually align with those requirements as built. You can still use geographic methods (GIS) to analyze current land use and land cover of HOAs to quantify adherence to city/county ordinance. This would also prevent you from having to go door to door, which is time consuming (and possibly dangerous). Depending on the "climate awareness" level of the local ordinances, you could do some analysis to demonstrate what it would take (and what it would look like) for the HOA development ordinance to actually have a positive (or maybe less negative) impact on climate and the environment. In other words, find a way to make your research actionable! You could present your findings to your local government in an effort to initiate change. Personally, I have a strong appreciation for anything that increases awareness and education for planting native. I love the idea that you are attempting to demonstrate the shortcomings of "traditional" HOA development and propose a new standard way of thinking, like planting native grasses (and trees, shrubs, and groundcover). Golf courses are also notorious for their negative environmental impact, so there's another possible target for your research. ... View more

I can't find the documentation, but I recall that ArcGIS Pro does not store the raw path to SDE connections like ArcMap did. The "strange temp directory" is the best you're going to get. ... View more

I've used cx_Oracle, now pyhton-oracledb, to do SQL specific stuff. You could use PL/SQL insert statements into your db table. You might even be able to use an arcpy insert cursor, worth a try. There's also ArcSDESQLExecute, which may or may not work. ... View more
