I'll admit I don't know much about Historical moments, but one quick way to accomplish this would be to just schedule the Geoprocessing Tool "Feature Class to Feature Class" to run. Depending on your knowledge level, you could also use this to build a basic model that would export the feature class with the date appended to it so it didn't overwrite the previous output. If you have an IT department though, I would definitely recommend making sure your machines are backed up. Always better to have multiple points of restoration!

I am getting this error when I try and validate the topology of our parcel fabric. The ESRI page for this says the following: "While this error can occur, it occurs so rarely that the typical causes have not been identified so no solution is available at this time." Has anyone seen this before? I'm not sure what to do. I've disabled and re-enabled the topology but the error still persists. I'm not sure what else to try. It seems like something has become corrupted in our fabric. Is there a way to rebuild/regenerate our fabric while preserving all of our historic parcels?

I was able to resolve the issue, through rephrasing the symbology expression to this: I am not really sure why that resolved the issue, but it did. When I use the shrink to seed tool now, it applies the correct symbology: If someone could fill me in on what the difference maker was, I would appreciate it! Just thankful to have it resolved either way, though!

I had the goal of adding a third symbology class to my standard parcel fabric set up. I wanted some sort of visual indicator on parcels that were outside of our error tolerance. For instance, if a parcels deeded (stated) acreage is 10 acres, but the calculated acreage is only 8.5, I wanted that parcel to be highlighted in red since it is outside our target threshold of 10%. Setting up the symbology was fairly easy. I just tweaked the existing symbology expression from this: to this: That allowed me to set up the symbology that I was going for: However, in my editing after, I noticed an unexpected behavior when using the "Shrink to Seed" tool. Rather than shrinking shirnking and applying the default blue symbology for a parcel seed, it shrinks and applies the error symbology. It seems to be recognized as a seed since it is getting labeled by the seed label class, but it is also getting labeled by the Error label class, and I can't quite figure out why. Are there any hidden facets to the "Shrink to Seed" tool that could be causing this? Have I just missed something in my symbology tweaks? I would greatly appreciate any assistance that anyone could provide!

We recently upgraded our ArcGIS enterprise server to the full ArcGIS Portal environment (data store, web adaptor, server and portal). What I'm struggling with is how best to use Portal. In the past, I have always published feature classes for online maps to AGOL. If those feature classes were updated by field editors, I would periodically manually sync them with the local copy of our data. As explained to me, the main benefit of Portal is that is allows you to publish your data from your enterprise servers to the portal. You can then add it to a web map, and it syncs immediately. As the field workers make edits, it should update in the enterprise database as well. That sounds great, but the first part that confuses me is that portal seems to be completely disconnected from ArcGIS Online. We have about 70 users in our AGOL setup, so it will be extremely inconvenient to have to move all of our users from AGOL over to portal. Is there a way to pass services published to portal into AGOL, so that AGOL users can make edits to data in our portal? The next area I don't understand is how best to manage content published to the portal. Our Enterprise was configured using a single-machine base deployment. The guy that help us set it up told me that he would recommend limiting the number of services published to portal. He said that if too many people started hitting the services at once, and you had a lot of services, it could cause performance problems. How can I figure out how many services I can optimally publish at a time? Building on that, how best should I publish services? We have around layers on our enterprise database, and of those, it would be helpful to have at least 60 of them published to Portal because they are regularly edited in the field. Should I publish each of those 60 services indidually? Or should I group them into one large service. Or is there an answer somewhere in between there? Ultimately, my problem is that I can't figure out best to implement portal while respecting our current hardware system specs. I love the features promised by portal, but I want to make sure I implement it in the right way.

I know what you mean. After tweaking the settings of the SSLCA tool many times, I was able to get it to do a pretty good job for the most part, but there are a few areas where I definitely noticed some of the kinking and weird curves that you mentioned. It's not a lot, but definitely enough to be an annoyance.

Michael, That is actually my idea thread as well! Bezier curves are defined by a set of control points. Here is an example of lines with Beziers. True curves are curves that are defined by coordinate geometry like direction, radius, and arc length. In my case, Bezier curves completely broke the fabric when working on parcels that contained them. Thankfully, with Tim's help, I was able to clean my dataset on them. Based on my conversations with Tech support, I believe ESRI is updating their documentation and looking into a way to implement a native function for tracking down these curves since they seem to cause issues with the fabric.

@AyanPalit You might want to check with @TimHodson. He was able to help me find a temporary solution that is not currently possible without an add on.

@AyanPalit 1. This does work, however the problem is that it makes no distinction between bezier curves and other types of curves. When working with our parcel fabric, that means manually review almost 30k curves. 2-4. I think these methods might have worked if they were done prior to migrating to the parcel fabric, but the documentation makes no mention of bezier curves. I know that these tools would probably work on the fabric, but I'd prefer to not densify our entire parcel dataset when it's really just a handful of parcel that we are looking to modify. There should be a targeted way to address them since they break the intended functionality of the Parcel fabric @GavinMcDade When referring to Bezier curves, I mean the curves that are controlled by the "handles". I should have said "converting them to circular arcs". Regarding your current data, I would definitely recommend doing a small batch test then. The issues will be immediately apparent. Attempting to use any of the Parcel Fabric tools (at least for me) on features with Bezier curves will make the software lock up. One of the tools (not sure which as I didn't catch it right when it happened) also ended up creating a black hole of points and lines that resulted in about 50k additional points and lines being created in small area which almost resulted in me having to start the parcel fabric from scratch. I always ended up having to manually kill the process and restart the software. I then went and manually converted the bezier curves in one of the features that was having issues to circular arcs, and tried the tools again. Had no issues at all once they were removed. I have since worked with ESRI tech support on this issue and they were able to reproduce it on their end as well, so it is a verified issue. I think if you densify your current data before running the Simplify by Straight Lines and Circular Arcs tool, you should be good to go. My problem is that that was not mentioned so I didn't find out until after I was already in the fabric and having these issues.

I recently converted our parcel data to the parcel fabric. At no point in the conversion process are you warned about Bezier curves. I wasn't even aware my parcel data contained them or even how they were introduced into the parcels. They break the parcel fabric. Almost any interaction with a parcel fabric feature that contains them will lead to software freezes, crashes, or bugs. I verified this by manually converting them all to true curves and retrying the same processes that produced these issues and they worked like a charm once the bezier curves were gone. Currently, there is no easy way to identify bezier curves and there is no way to remove them short of manually converting each segment, one-by-one. When you are dealing with more than 100k features, this is obviously not practical. I would propose two things. The parcel fabric documentation should be updated to mention that bezier curves are not supported. It should also document a procedure for removing them from your data prior to converting to the fabric. There should also be a software function for finding them and converting them to true curves. That way, if you are already in the fabric, you can at least track them down and fix them rather than stumble upon them unexpectedly.

I'm not really sure how I ended up with Bezier curves in our parcel fabric, however, I recently came across an area that contained quite a few of them. They seemed to cause a ton of weird issues while editing. I manually converted them all to circular arcs, and that resolved the problem, but now I'm wondering if there are any more in my data. Is there an easy way to find and remove them? I would have thought that running the "Simplify by Straight Lines and Circular Arcs" tool did that, but it seems not because I ran my entire dataset through that prior to migrating to the parcel fabric.

I have never had to use tangent curves but for some reason that is always the default in arcgis pro. I know you can change it under the traverse menu for the current project, but it would be great if there was an option in the application settings that would allow that you to select the default for all projects.

Before shrinking to seed is it recommended to delete all lines associated with that parcel or just the interior ones? Yesterday I was only deleting the interior lines. I'm going to take another stab at it later today and I'm starting to think maybe I should just delete all lines and points associated with the parcels being edited prior to shrinking to seed.

If so, I'm not familiar with how to do that. I've only used basic topology rules for sliver detection prior to this. I'm not really sure how to go about configuring a setup like that.
