Just reading the latest blog post regarding this. Do I understand correctly that Level 1 users, previously available at no cost to an organization, will now cost $100/user/year? Do I understand correctly that in order to use field data collection apps like Collector, each user will now cost $500/user/year? Currently I have no cost associated with users using these free app. We currently use ArcGIS Online as a front end to our onprem ArcGIS Server. We are moving towards an ArcGIS deployment with Portal and a federated server. Will these same costs now be applied to ArcGIS Portal? ... View more

Is there a way to visualize query results (like a Query Table or layer) in either of these IDE's? I know you can leverage the arcgis module in Jupyter, but here you're beholden to a web GIS. What if you're just running queries against an SQL instance? I really like both of these IDE's but at least if you're using the ArcGIS Python window (Dan Patterson‌ don't shoot me!) you see your results displayed directly (as a table or layer). Any thoughts? Maybe I'm missing something really obvious here. Thanks! ... View more

I know there are several similar threads here related to this, but there are some additional details I'd like to get feedback/insight on. Background: I have 2 feature classes. One is a FC of polygons which represent areas of different forest activity, and these areas can be associated as groups based on a unique identifier [i.e. polygons are organized into groups; each group has a unique value]. The other FC contains dissolved polygons based on each group and contains the unique group identifier as an attribute. Therefore, these FCs have a 1:N relationship. Objective: Automate the update process (select>dissolve>append) of the second feature class. Discussion: A simple option here would be to simply delete all records in the 2nd FC and repopulate based on a fresh dissolve process at some interval; there are only ~20k records here so it's not that big of a deal. I'm hoping to find a more elegant solution here (with logic that I can then apply to other processes). One alternative I've read about is building a dictionary from the source FC and then evaluate the target FC. The closest example I've found is here. Questions: Could anyone comment on the general logic here based on what I'm trying to achieve? Any alternative ideas jump out at you? Most of the script in the other thread I understand, but at the moment I'm not really solid how to implement the evaluation process I need in the cursor. Thanks in advance for any insight you might have!! ... View more

Having gotten more comfortable with the Python API, I'm looking to see who is using it to manage portal content and how you're doing it...not specific code, but just examples. One thing I'm hoping to achieve is a degree of content conformity (like assuring that all map services are properly documented and adhere to naming conventions, but I'm not yet sure if the API can drill in that deep. ...
