Hi Chris, many thanks I will have a look! I thought you could set up custom roles only on Portal! ... View more

Hi Robert,  yes, I was just wondering if there was another way to create custom exception without altering the existing sharing model. But is not there (yet). A (maybe stupid) example that comes to my mind is Facebook: I share my content with all friends except to: X person or X Group. ... View more

Rebecca, thank you. Yes I have thought already to start with LM and Desktop as they are less concerning. Then starting with Server.  Are the upgraded desktop connecting without problem to your server? (I have admin and publisher connection from my desktop 10.5.1 to  another server 10.2 but I have never used them for managing or publishing service, I use another desktop 10.2.2 for that). Thanks for the advice on the custom toolboxes, I haven't thought of it. Are you thinking to upgrade to 10.5.1 because you are waiting for 10.6.1? In my case is not going to be a clean install, but I will make sure that all possible backups are made. Thankfully Portal is not installed yet..... Federation is out of our plan too right now, tomorrow I will know more about all the services and data.  ... View more

Jonathan , thank you. but your answers have generated more questions, sorry    When you say "the biggest impact federating will be on clients is by default, all services will become secured." -----> web maps created and online already (created with API for JS, App studio or Web App builder.....), will become empty, because the layers are not accessible? or what?  What is missing in my picture is the real effect. Believe me, I read the docs many times. For the time being (I will check tomorrow) I don't even know if the services are secured or not and how the security is generale on this server. "If you want to use Collector, (again, ideally testing in a staging/test environment first), federate your Server to Portal," ----> in this case federation is the only option? collector works only in a federated environment? "Another thing you should consider is externally available feature services pose a security problem as anyone can edit the data."   Are you referring to the share with everyone in portal? Another question not related directly to the previous: is an upgrade of  4 versions (AGS from 10.2 to 10.6) advisable? or should I go for a gradual upgrade (considering also LM and Desktop) ...

Thank you Nathan,  I had to uninstall everything from that machine and now I am re-installing for other reasons. I will open a case with esri as soon as everything is set up again. ... View more

Update. I published in 10.5.1 in a non secured folder. added the item, but in insights I get this: Can it be related to a certificate issue? When I open the feature service in a map in AGOL the layers are visible and navigable. ... View more

If you have access to MyEsri you can give a try to "Recover Lost Licenses" under My Organization> Licensing> Recover Lost Licenses. You deauthorize a license in minutes without opening a case. It saved me days of work already. Especially when Esri Support works when I sleep and the other way round. I would proceed always in this order: 1. You have access to your machine: try the deauthorization tool as per Jayanta  and Dan  suggestion 2. You don't have access to the machine you can use the "Recover Lost License" in My Esri 3. As last I would call Support. ... View more

Hi Nathan, thank you for the answer. I see the problem you mentioned and it is pretty expected. I tried to publish on 10.5.1 on a testing environment but I cannot as I think there is a problem with certificates. I don't understand the problem and at the moment I cannot even add the item in AGOL as I keep on getting errors. I will let you know. ... View more

Hi Aravind, just tried and no, doesn't work. Same behavior.   (Same environment as my first attempt) ... View more

I agree, it is true it can generate confusion but LONG is recognized automatically as X, from my "ADD XY" tool in 10.5.1 and always been in previous versions. When I read that the point have been plotted elsewhere I always think that either the two field were inverted or a wrong coordinate system was chosen. ... View more
