I am trying to convert a Model Builder script into a Windows Scheduled Task.  I have broken it into multiple scripts, and then call each script successively from a BAT file. Each script runs the arcpy.TiledLabelsToAnnotation_cartography tool for a specific scale.  It basically creates annotation feature classes. The first and last map scales run, but the other scales do not run.  There are also no error messages in my log files (that should write within the except clause).  I initially tried running this as a single script, but it would stop during the second scale (without any messages). It almost seems like Python is crashing for some reason.  From my log file, it takes about 2 hours for the first scale, and about an hour for the last scale. Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be happening?  I can share the scripts, if needed. ... View more

I'm working on converting a map app from Leaflet.js to the Esri JS API (4.x).  I have a field that contains the URL to an image.  However, not every record has an image. I was planning on using the code below to add the image to the pop-up.  However, I was wondering if there is a way to control the pop-up logic so that the image only appears if the value in the field is not false (technically null)? Thanks for the help. const popupTemplate = { title: 'Survey Location: <strong>{expression/display-location}</strong>', expressionInfos: [ { name: 'display-location', title: 'Location', expression: "DefaultValue($feature.Loc_ID ,'Not Defined')" },{ name: 'round-latitude', title: 'Latitude', expression: "Round($feature.LAT, 3)" }, { name: 'round-longitude', title: 'Longitude', expression: "Round($feature.LONG, 3)" }, { name: 'format-area', title: 'Area Surveyed (sq. ft.)', expression: "Text($feature.Area, '#,###')" } ], content: [ { type: 'fields', fieldInfos: [ { fieldName: 'expression/round-latitude' }, { fieldName: 'expression/round-longitude' },{ fieldName: 'expression/format-area' } ] }, { type: 'media', mediaInfos: [{ title: 'Survey Location: {expression/display-location}', type: 'image', value: { sourceURL: '{IMG}' } }] } ] };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I am developing a mobile data collection workflow that will be using the Collector App.  Currently, staff takes photos with a camera, and notes on a printed map the location and directional-orientation for where they take the photo. Whenever they start using Collector, will the directional-orientation for where they capture a point (north, east, etc) be stored in the data?  If so, how can I access that property? If it's not stored in the data, I'll have to add a field to capture their directional-origination.   ... View more

A couple weeks ago, we began experiencing an issue with our web server.  Any sort of asset (image, css file, regular page), can only be accessed through Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer. In Chrome, the message is "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET". In Firefox, the message is "PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR." We have Microsoft Server 2019, and IIS 10.   Our IT staff also noted that "If you use Chrome or Firefox it is using TLS 1 and doesn’t load, even if I change my Internet Option settings to use only TLS 1.2 it still tries to use TLS 1. So to me it seems like that is at least part of the issue. Not sure why it is forcing those browsers to use TLS 1 but from the captures that is what appears to be happening." Anyone experience this issue? Anyone have any tips to resolve? ... View more

I have had a Python 2/ArcMap script to compress enterprise geodatabases.  The script has worked fine for a while now.  I recently converted the script to Python 3/ArcGIS Pro. Now, I keep getting the same error (see below).  I've tried referencing the sde connection files using os.path.join and as a single variable (drive/letter/file). I'm looping through a list of geodatabases. Error: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid. ERROR 000837: The workspace is not the correct workspace type. Failed to execute (Compress).
