Good Day All, I hope I am posting this in the correct section. I have an enterperise database (SQL) and ArcGIS Server (Portal) 10.8. The organization would like to share out data and we have set up a open data site. Using this open data site we have publishe out several datasets as hosted layers (using ArcGIS desktop). Seems to work fine as the data is available to download in several formats. Data download options do not seem to work for Feature Layers that is published as referenced data. Of course for us, this would be ideal. The issue arises when the question of data update is asked. We were hoping that the way it was published that the data would be automatically updated, but as we find out this is not the case. So it seems that updating the hosted Feature Layer is done manually. (assuming that the service definition is still present). So Questions: Are we missing or is there a method or process that the Hosted Feature Layer can be updated automatically from the Enterprise GDB? Can non-hosted feature layer be set up to allow download options? IS there any advantage in using ArcGIS Pro for this process? Could this process (updating Hosted Feature Layers) be accomplished though model builder or python script? Any other suggestions or ideas on this open data site issue would be appreciated. James A.

Josh, thanks to the insight. I believe this is the process that I need. The current issue is that when importing the table (csv) into the Enterprise GDB, an Object-id field is created. This seems to casue a duplicated field. Unfortunatly, I dont seem to be able to delete the ObjectID field in the new table. Ay ideas?

Ok, here is the senario: I have a some line and point data, (Water Lines and Hydrants, amoung others). Both the water line and hydrant data have attributes, but not the ones that are needed. Athese feature classes are contained in a Postgre database. These feature class have been published to a Portal and are to be consumed in a dashboard. I have an excel table (from a third party) that has a number of attribute data the we desire as we want to use them as part of the previously mentioned Dashboard. After publishing both FC and the table, I tried to join them within a Web Map. A big issue is that such a join creates a hosted feature set that is no longer connected to the orginal publish feature class. This is important as there are edits being done to the Enterprise Data sets and FC. I have tried to join the FC and table in ArcGIS Pro before publishing, but it errors out 99999. Overall, Im not sure I am thinking about the process in the correct way. Any ideas anyone?

IN ArcMap Desktop, there is an ability to manage symbology of a feature layer (in this case a line layer) to a Style by way of Match to Symbols in Stlye: Can this be done in ArcGIS Pro? If so how, as I have been working on this for a couple of days and have not found much. I have imported this style from desktop into Pro. I can change the symbology manually, but it would be great if this could be done much like in Desktop.

ok, as usual I was thinking too much about this and could not see the answer. If case anyone else needs the answer, here it is. With the URL to the Site page, add content as an application using the Site URL. Pretty simple really. James

Im working with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8. I have created 5 Enterpsrise Sites over the last 6 or so months. These sites are contained in a Portal Group called "Enterprise Sites". This groups is being used as the Feature Content Group, so all of the Icons are list on the Portal Home page. 3 of these Enterprise Sites can be clicked on and the result is the Site itself. The other 2, result in the Details page being returned. In the Contents page, I have a folder called Sites and it contains all 5 Sites Applications as well as 3 Mapping Applications. The mapping applications, when viewed, resolve to the correct Enterprise Site. The other 2 do not have a associated web map application. I have been looking for differences in the 3 sites that have associated web mapping applications and the 2 that do not and can not find any. So I am wondering is someone might have an idea on how to create a web mapping application from a Site Application. Bottom line is that I would like to present the Enterprise Sites on the portal home page in the featured content and have the icons present link to the Site Application and not the the details page. If interested, here is the link to the PORTAL I am working on: https://wa.lrcog.org/portal/home I have also added a screenshot of my Sites folder in the Content page on the Portal site. Thanks in advance. James

I have really been having a time trying to get the Data Store configured on this portal site. With some great help from ESRI tech support, Data Store has been successfully validated. So now, I am publishing a vectored layers from my Enterprise Data Set (this is coming from a read only "warehouse' version of the Geodatabase). I am able to successfully publish the data to a hosted layer on the Data Store. This data is shared with everyone as well as a group created for a Enterprise Site set up for sharing data and allowing the data to be exported. I have read in the ESRI documentation and other help online and have determined that the published Hosted Feature Layer IS NOT set for down load and the setting needs to be changes.. No Problem, right??? Well going into the service page of the Hosted layer, I check the setting to allow "others to download data". then in clicking save I get the error as shown in the attachment.. Does anyone have an idea or suggestion on this issue? I just would like to share several data layers from the Enterprise GDB to the public for download.

Angela, Thanks for your help. I was able to wrap my head around what you were saying regarding the featureset vs feature. The following code works and is relatively quick to respond. James Armstrong

Thanks Angela; I see what you mean about using the other Functions. Below is the espression using the Intersection function and the result (Illegal Argumemt). do you see where the illegal argument might be? Any help would be great? James

I have two layers: 1-Parcels, 2-Soils. I am trying to create an Arcade expression that would return the percentage of soil types within the selected property. I have been successful to some degree, but it appears that the percentages return are not clearing. The expression is below. I have published a web map application which uses the expression for purpose of illustration. Any suggestion, advice, or idea is most appreciated. - James Armstrong Soils Calculator --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- var gensoils = FeatureSetById($datastore, /* GeneralSoils */ "1") var soils_int = Intersects($feature, gensoils) var numsoil = Count(soils_int) var sum_area = SUM(soils_int, 'Acreage') var results = 'There are '+ numsoil +' type(s) of General Soils.'+TextFormatting.NewLine for (var s in soils_int){ var soilarea = s.Acreage var percent = (s.Acreage / sum_area) var soilname = s.SOIL_NAME2 var soilpercent = Round(percent,2 ) * 100 +'%' results += TextFormatting.NewLine + soilname + '---- ' + soilpercent } return results

Robert, Ok, I realize I am being a bit dense here. Im not sure what you mean by: Have you tried this search in the browser just using the rest end point to see if the time needed to perform the search is just due to the speed of your service? Would you expand on you previous responds? I have included the urls associated with the data set. here is the url to the data: https://services1.arcgis.com/hGdibHYSPO59RG1h/ArcGIS/rest/services/L3_TAXPAR_POLY_ASSESS_gdb/FeatureServer/0 item detail: https://massgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=9adcceca9df44b949c1041195982e5a6

I am using Robert's eSearch widget in an application created through WAB-DEV. As usual, his widgets are pretty slick. in this instance though, I am running a search against 2,528,552 parcels (from a feature service (state wide parcel set)). For this particular search, only the 3996 parcels within one town are needed. There is a definition filter at the webmap level so that only the parcels within the Town are shown. Similar, in the eSearch widget configuration, there is a definition expression that (i am assuming) limits the search only the parcels with the Town's ID code. Town_ID = 277 The thing is, in using the eSearch, the search for either the Parcel ID or the Owner Name takes along time. Many times to what I am thinking is a time out failure. Does anyone have suggestions how this search would resolve quicker?

I got the web appbuilder to properly install and work. The Issue 'seemed' to be in the wifi setting. I found a post that indicated if the wifi (or internet connection) was set to Public, there would be some Certification inconsistencies. The quick fix for me was to switch from a Public setting to a Private setting. While this worked, I make sure any internet connection that I set to Private is somewhat trustworthy. In other words, no coffee shops, etc. James

Thanks Robert, I will let you know if having multiple instances of WEB-DEV on laptop causes any issues. I agre with you though and don't see why there should be any. I installed and registered WAB-DEV this past Sunday. Everything looked good to go. This afternoon when I returned to this project, I found I was unable to start WAB-DEV. Clicking on the Startup.bat, the CMD window opens and is seems that the programs is running up as the browser (EDGE) opens and the URL is pointing the my machine_name:3344/webappbuilder. As you can see by the attached screen shot, the process freezes. I saw where going tom the server folder and killing the signinfo.json may clear it up but I don't see and such file.. Would you have any clues? I have deleted everything and reinstalled, but still no go. thanks for all you do!! James
