Same on my 10.5.1  Never noticed before! ... View more

Great Craig! Thank you. I had to log out and in again in order to see it but you made my day! ... View more

Hi Amir Bar-Maor‌, Gert Van Maren‌, just to report that yesterday I downloaded (deployed, downloaded, extracted) the solar calculation solution. I ran the analysis for a dataset and everything was fine. This morning I opened the last project of yesterday, created a new scene, connected a new folder with a new dataset, and when I tried to open the same task I got the error message and the red exclamation mark. I solved by extracting the same package in another location, open the project, exporting the task to a .esritasks file and imported in my project. It looked totally random to me as nothing has changed during the night. (solution deployed and downloaded yesterday, so I guess the last available version - ArcGIS PRO 2.2.4) ... View more

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
