I am using distributed collaboration between by Enterprise 10.9 and AGOL instance.   I found some TileLayers on AGOL (not created within my organization) I would like to replicate by reference into my Enterprise.  These TileLayers are shared anonymously/publicly, so are accessible by everyone.  I know I can just add the tile service URL to my Enterprise instance, but I also want to make sure I replicate the metadata and item info if the owner updates that on AGOL, so have decided to go with Distributed Collaboration.   Inexplicably, one of the TileLayers replicates to Enterprise correctly, but the other doesn't replicate at all, and I can't tell what might cause this inconsistent behavior.   The item ID of the item that does replicate is ba711890a6f24720bf63a77c5aeb1e64, while the item ID of an item that won't replicate is 6ab79dc5de5743adb3e3b6e3c803aa59.  I don't see any difference between the two items except the "size" of the map service, which shouldn't come into play since I am only replicating by reference and not trying to copy (which I couldn't anyway because it's a tile service).   Anyone have any ideas here? ...

Currently in order to publish a FeatureService (for editing, sync, extract, replication, etc.) by reference from an enterprise geodatabase, you need to also publish the associated MapService (enabling "feature service" in the process.   However sometimes all we need is the FeatureService (e.g. for extract workflows with visualization on datasets that don't need a mapservice to power visualization).  It would be nice if there was an option to just publish the FeatureService.  I imagine that might reduce strain on server resources, minimize the number of Portal assets, and lessen confusion to users (especially new users), when looking at a FeatureService and MapService of the same exact data.   ...

The developer dashboard on developers.arcgis.com allows me to see my API token usage.  For instance, this lets me see how many stored and non-stored geocodes my API key has been used for per day.  I'm curious if there is a way to obtain this information programmatically.  The only API access to this data I can see is through AGOL reports (the API key is linked to an AGOL account not a Developer subscription), which doesn't provide the same level of granularity the Developer dashboard does for API key usage.  ...

I believe that the post from 2018 (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/arcgis-api-on-aws-lambda/m-p/785315#M1344) does not necessarily still apply.  In short, would like to access the ArcGIS Python API in AWS Lambda for basic scripting.  So what I'd like to do is install the --no-deps version of the ArcGIS Python API (https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/install-and-set-up/#install-with-minimum-dependencies), along with required dependencies.   The documentation on the minimum dependencies is a little off - for example the documentation says one of the dependencies is requests_toolbelt.  For conda, it needs to be specified as requests-toolbelt.  Pip has a package requests_toolbelt.  The same goes for ntlm_auth (Conda it is ntlm-auth and Pip it is ntlm_auth). It also seems like there are some other dependencies that are not included in the documentation: cachetools, lxml, and reqeusts_oauthlib are two of them that are required when trying to leverage the --no-deps version of the ArcGIS Python API with Python3.9. Lastly, unclear on exactly what process should be used for implementing this in an AWS lambda layer (if this is even possible).  Conda to build environment (which packages the Python runtime as well so makes the layer even larger).  Pip to build?  What directory structure is needed for the .zip file?  These are all things I'm struggling with that I feel like other folks might have solved.   I have heard AWS lambda has issues with certain libraries built with C, and also can't accept zip folders larger than a certain size (even if uploaded to S3 first).         ...

Curious if someone has a dockerfile example to build a container to run simple ETL scripts.  I imagine this would install the no-dependency version of the arcgis api along with required minimum dependencies listed in the documentation, as well as other libraries (e.g. pyshp, boto3, sqlalchemy, etc).  I am someone new to Docker, and am having issues with creating a conda env in Docker from a yml file and then installing the various dependencies.  Curious if folks generally use pip for this, or conda works.  Some preliminary research suggests there are some differences when using conda in a container vs. not in a container.   ...

I have published a Map Service and associated Feature Service (feature access to enable editing) off my enterprise geodatabase.  It results in a Map Image Layer and Feature Layer in my federated Portal.  The Feature Layer points to server API resource (.../FeatureServer) and the Map Image Layer points to server API resource (.../MapServer).  I have tried to share the Map Image Layer publicly while keeping the Feature Layer just accessible to me for editing purposes (see screenshot)  However, if I navigate to my REST endpoints on server as an anonymous user (using an incognito window to ensure no credential caching), I can see both the MapServer and FeatureServer What's more, as an anonymous user, I can query and edit the features via the Feature Service API endpoints (delete, add, etc).   We are working on a fully patched 10.9 Enterprise with federated Portal.  This seems like it is not working as designed, and it also seems like I can't be the first person to experience this if its some undiscovered bug.   Is there anything I could be doing wrong / anything I'm missing? It really seems to undermine the security of the entire system if otherwise.      ... View more
