Aaron: Thanks again...most appreciated.  That was crucial for me as I needed to learn if I'm at least on the right path and trying to edit the right file 😊. I now have something on which I can work.  I will certainly use your Developer Tools suggestion too...every little bit helps.   ... View more

Aaron: Thanks for the response and the direction.  I was reviewing the oauth.js...I just wasn't sure if that was the right file.  Now that you have reaffirmed that for me I can approach this with a little more confidence.  I'm not a developer, but what I'm trying to do isn't that major either.  I'll keep plugging away at it and something "should" work eventually (and I'll make sure I make a copy of the file(s) before I start poking and prodding too) :-). I seem to be in the habit of clearing the cache often so that should be a relatively easy task.  That is the path I'm using to find the oauth2.js file too.  Does it matter which file I edit (i.e. oauth.js or oauth2.js) or should I ensure that whatever I do to one file I should also do to the other? Thanks again. ... View more

Bramantiyo: I should have asked you...which segment of the oauth2.js file did you edit?  Can you provide a screenshot? Thanks ... View more

Bramantiyo: Thanks for the help with this.  I am now (finally) upgrading our ArcGIS Enterprise (we're currently using 10.6.1) and as soon as I have it up and running I will definitely look for the oauth2.js script and make our changes.  You're the first person I have seen who has had success with this...and there are quite a few people asking this same question :-). Once done I will get back to this page and let everyone know how it went. Thanks again ... View more

I was under the impression that one is able to add text and instructions to the Portal login page since version 10.7 or 10.7.1.  Is this not the case?  This has been requested since before version 10.6.1, so I'm just curious. ... View more

Hey Luke: I don't process imagery that often in our organization (and we don't have ESRI's Image Server because we cannot justify it yet), so the time-lag in between our orthophoto acquisition is usually the reason I'm usually having issues processing orthophotos (i.e. I usually only process them once every 3 or so years and have to relearn it LOL). However, we got new imagery a couple of weeks ago and I followed your suggestions above and it did work, and it worked well.  I resampled the image using the cubic convolution method (instead of allowing the default of Nearest Neighbor) and I have to think that this was the big difference.  The image output turned out perfectly. We usually get TIFF imagery from a consultant and the only way I have been able to find to bring that into ArcGIS (and Pro) is using one of the ESRI Mosaic tool sets.  However, I also need to publish this image to our Portal for staff to review and it is my understanding that unless one has Image Server one cannot publish a Mosaic, so it has to first be exported into a single (flat) image first, and this is where I was having all of my issues. Once a single image is created I can then easily publish that to Portal, and then cache the image (which usually takes 2 or so hours), and from there it usually works perfectly for staff. So thanks again for your advice...it is very appreciated most useful, and a major time-saver. ... View more

Bramantiyo: Thanks for the feedback...most appreciated.  I did see this discussion (they are basically saying that the answer is "no"...customizing the login screen is not possible).  However, this was also a discussion from August 2017 (almost 3 years ago), so I was sort of hoping that "maybe" this has now changed.  Probably not...but knowing that is good too because it means I won't have to keep chasing something that is not attainable :-). ...

Thanks Dan: I was looking at this tool in ArcGIS Pro, but it seems to want direction offset for one direction, whereas the formula I have requires two...unless I'm missing something: I was sure that the way to do this was to create a custom projection, but I cannot find much anywhere that explains how to do that.  That and  the direction offset options are dd, dms an ra...whereas the output needs to be in UTM. I think the problem right now is that I have no idea how to use this Corrections tool LOL. ... View more

Dan: OK...I will play around with this code and see what I can do (knowing this).  The problem I believe I was having was trying to get the script to run without any quotes around the variable at all...but then ran into syntax issues.  There must be examples of how to do this properly online somewhere. ...

Thanks again Dan: I have tried variations of your example using a variable, but I run into syntax errors every time...I still don't see how this works.  Using "MMSI = '316003484'" works hard coded, but how should this look when using a variable? "MMSI = '(record11)'" will (obviously) just turn the variable into a literal. As mentioned above, my issue "might" be really about the data type.  In the file geodatabase MMSI is a "double": However, I haven't seen any data type options in Python for this...only "int", "float" and "str".  Why does a single quote work for the hard coded option then?  All I'm trying to do is "Select Attributes"...I'm not trying to calculate anything, so I would think that this should not be an issue...is it? Is my alternative perhaps to change FME to convert that field into a string first (i.e. I don't know why it was originally coded to be a double as it's not really necessary - it's only an ID field)? ...
