My workstation was recently updated to Windows 10, and I'm suddenly unable to access my Portal for ArcGIS (10.4 AND 10.6 instances) from IE 11. I can access through Chrome, however my issue is that trying to authorize ArcGIS Pro 2.1 with my Enterprise forces a login popup which is IE (and cannot be changed), and therefore fails. While I'm not the administrator of my computer's security settings, I am the administrator of ArcGIS Enterprise. Is there anything I can change in my Enterprise to allow IE 11 / Windows 10 to connect? OR, what do I need to tell my friendly IT folks to change on my computer so I this issue goes away.

Thanks - that worked! It seems like the definition attribute isn't listed in the documentation. Also, I was able to get the operation to work by doing the following: srcData = srcMap.get_data() destData = destMap.get_data() destData['operationalLayers'] = srcData['operationalLayers'] destMap.update(data=str(destData))

I would like to use ArcGIS Python API (v. 1.4.1) to copy the operational layers from one map to another in the same 10.6 Portal (for a development map / production map environment where I make changes to the development maps' symbology, layers, popups, etc., and then just copy the entire operational layers object to the production map), but I can't get it to work (even though it worked on a previous version of the API / previous version of Portal). Here is my old code, which worked in a previous version. In this version, the code successfully runs, but the destination map isn't changed. from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.gis import Item import arcgis.mapping portal = GIS("https://portalurl/webcontext", "username","password", verify_cert=False) srcMap = Item(portal, "5959197ba01748ccb51cf097597b4cf4") destMap= Item(portal,"e326e343d5aa45668a448e54acc4d06d") opsLayers = srcMap.get_data()['operationalLayers'] mapDestObj = arcgis.mapping.WebMap(destMap) mapDestObj['operationalLayers'] = opsLayers mapDestObj.update()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I've also followed instructions located at Using and updating GIS content | ArcGIS for Developers , but that doesn't seem to work either. mapDestObj has a layers attribute, but mapDestObj.layers = opsLayers throws an AttributeError (can't set attribute) I've also tried the following: which successfully updates the mapDestObj.layers attribute, but doesn't save the map when I run the update command. for index, layer in enumerate(mapDestObj.layers): mapDestObj.layers[index] = opsLayers[index] webMapObj.update({})‍‍‍ Does anyone have a working prototype for this workflow?

Thanks so much - very clear and it worked. I think some of the documentation might be out of date at Distribute Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS (Windows) through Portal for ArcGIS—Portal for ArcGIS (10.6) | ArcGIS Enter… , but glad to have it working!

I'm a little confused on how to configure operations dashboard web app for ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6. I have used the desktop app to create Operations views, which I can save back to my Poral and see as items in my content, but there is only an option to view the operations views using the desktop app. I'm unsure what I have to do to enable Portal to use the web app to interact with operations view (or create operations views). Any help here? The instructions at Deploy Operations Dashboard to Portal for ArcGIS—Portal for ArcGIS (10.4.1) | ArcGIS Enterprise say to download OperationsDashboardUtility.exe from the MyEsri site, but all I could find in my Esri under ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 downloads is Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS 1.0. This post (https://community.esri.com/community/gis/applications/operations-dashboard-for-arcgis/blog/2018/01/24/operations-dashboard-and-arcgis-enterprise-106 ) says to use Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS 1.0, but I'm unclear what for or what instructions to follow... Ultimately, I want to be able to use the web app to view and create operations dashboards, and I can't now.

I have to change the config-store and server directories location for my 2-node ArcGIS Server cluster (10.4). Is there any preferred methodology other than logging into manager and editing the config-store and directories section directly? For instance, chaning the directories before the config-store, or vice versa. Or pre-copying the physical folders to the new location before changing the directory location in server manager. Or stopping all services before editing the directory locations. Or anything really that might make the process faster or more stable. All I know to do is edit the locations in Manager and once everything is done, copying cached tiles directly, but if there are other best practices I'd love to know them. Thanks!

I've been following some of the documentation at arcgis.gis.admin module — arcgis 1.4.1 documentation trying to modify users in my 10.6 Portal, but keep getting errors. Here is my code: import arcgis.gis.admin as admin from arcgis.gis import GIS myPortal = GIS("https://myportal/mywebadaptor","username","password", verify_cert=False) users = admin.EnterpriseUsers("https://myportal/mywebadaptor", myPortal) users.get("username") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This returns a whole bunch of errors, but primarily HTTP Error 500. Anyone have experience with this? What I'm primarily trying to do is update IDP usernames using this API, as documented in the EnterpriseUsers.update method, but the get method doesn't work either.

Turns out if the Arcade Expression uses single quotes, the export map tool won't work, but if it uses double quotes, it will.

So far have been successfully using CSV for a 2 node ARcGIS Server cluster with no issues (at least no issues related to the CSV). Here's hoping that keeps up!

It had to do with the publishing tools service having some bad parameters due to an interrupted upgrade. Once I fixed that, the issue was resolved

I have been having great success using the Python API to export web maps to PDFS on Portal 10.6 However, I'm running into this strange issue that whenever I add a FeatureLayer to my web map and then symbolize the feature layer by an Arcade expression, the web map doesn't print the layer. It prints the other layers in the web map, but not the feature layer symbolized by the Arcade expression. However, I am able to correctly print the web map using the print tool within the map viewer itself - however, I'm more interested in automating the printing of web maps. Anyone else running into this issue?

Talking with Esri Support, and looking at documentation, it seems like the only supported architecture for a 2+ node ArcGIS Server cluster is using a network share for the config-store and other arcgisserver directories. I'm curious if anyone has had success with using Microsoft Windows Server Cluster Shared Volume (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/clustering/2013/12/02/cluster-shared-volume-csv-inside-out/ ) instead? This is a feature of Windows Server 2008 R2 and above that can operate as another shared location between two or more servers - Esri support tells me a network share is the only supported architecture, but I'm curious if that's because they haven't fully tested Cluster Shared Volume, or actually found issues with using Cluster Shared Volume. Thanks!

I recently upgrading my server site all to 10.4.1 from 10.4, and for some reason am experiencing issues publishing and overwriting map services from my 10.4 ArcGIS for Desktop. A strange thing occurs: the publishing actually works. If I check my MapService in Server Manager or the hosted layer in Portal, the dates and information reflect the details when I published. However, ArcMap says the publishing failed. In the geoprocessing results window, I get an Upload Service Definition Error: ERROR 999999, failed to execute (UploadServiceDefinition). If I look at the details, when comparing to a service that successfully publishes on a different system, I notice the SOAP Service URL and REST Service URL is missing. That being said, the service does actually publish, but ArcMap throws and error. Any ideas here?

I had a fully functionality ArcGIS Servedr 10.4 site, but it has recently said the site is not initialized and prompts me to create a new site or join an existing one. Through various troubleshooting, I've learned that the config-store-connection.xml and machine-config.xml files are missing from C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\framework\etc, so I imagine my ArcGIS server doesn't think there is a site to begin with. All of my server folders (config-store, arcgissystem, arcgisjobs, etc. etc.) are still available and aren't missing any content, it's just those two files. My server is federated with a portal and also has a data store configured, so I don't want to blow the whole thing out, but don't really know what to do. Is there any way to recreate those two files?

Thanks! This was very helpful. The library I'm using ends up creating an svg dom node that I would like to use as the symbol. Unfortunately referencing innerHTML of the dom node isn't sufficient, as not all svg properties are captured (although I have no idea why). Do you know, more generally, if there is a way to set a symbol to be a simple dom element in any of Esri's JS symbol classes?
