I recently tried to share a Python Script with a non-python user but they were unwilling or not permitted to install python.  I tried py2exe but that did not work.  What is the best way to share a python script with a non-python / non-GIS user?  I have read a bit about Jupyter Notebook and I have proposed an "Idea" on GeoNet for ESRI to provide a Jupyter Notebook server within ArcGIS Online.  But I wonder if this is the best solution.  Is there an easier way to share python scripts that will allow non-python / non_GIS users to execute the scripts? ...

Stephen,      I have a similar problem.  I am trying to embed our ArcGIS Server REST services directory in an iframe and I am getting the same error Miguel saw.  Here is the page where I am trying to use the iframe:  Getting More out of GeoNB - slide 5  It is a slide deck built with deck.js - use the arrow keys to advance the slides.  Some of my iframes work but several iframes that reference our REST services directory do not work.  This is confusing because our REST services directory is public - no login required: http://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services Is this iframe restriction controlled by the ArcGIS Server config or is this a web server config issue? Thanks, Bernie. ... View more

Although Esri provides guidance on embedding a WAB app in an iframe not all WAB widgets will work in an iframe.  Here are some details on problems we are having with the Splash widget: I walked through the Javascript code for the Splash page widget.  The Splash widget is trying to get the application ID from the URL.  It does this when it first tries to open.  Unfortunately, the way it does this will not work for an application in an iframe.  I would consider it a defect in the function that ArcGIS uses to determine the URL where the widget is located. The Splash widget’s “onOpen” function is ultimately calling a utility function to try to extract the application ID from the url:         z.getAppIdFromUrl = function() {                        var b = !0                          , a = window.top.location.href;   A cross-domain site in a frame can’t access those values so the browser is denying it.  The utility function isn’t catching the error and behaving gracefully, so it just hangs.   You either need to not use the Splash widget, or contact Esri support and explain the issue to them, and see if it can be repaired or if there is a suggested alternative.  This getAppIdFromUrl() function should be putting a try/catch block around its attempt to read the HREF and if it fails it should be falling back to trying to get the appID from elsewhere.   So where does this leave me?  Any suggestions on how I can keep my WAB app in an iframe but also use the Splash widget? Thanks, Bernie. ... View more

Hi,      we currently manage our own ArcGIS servers and publish numerous map services to the Public.  Back in 2009 when we launched our ArcGIS Server map services the Flex Viewer was the only tool that met our needs for publishing web maps.  We have published many Flex Viewer apps since 2009.  Our server environment includes DEV servers, TEST servers, and PROD servers.  Our Flex Viewer apps must pass through the DEV and TEST stages before we can move them to the PROD servers and make them available to the Public.      We plan to abandon the Flex Viewer and migrate to ArcGIS Online hosted map templates or Web App Builder.  Our IT department tells me we still need to maintain a DEV, TEST, PROD cycle for deploying map viewers to the Public.  My question is "How can I replicate or simulate a DEV, TEST, and PROD environment within our ArcGIS Online subscription?? Can I do this with groups or is there a more robust method? Thanks, Bernie. ... View more

I recently deleted the old ArcGIS app from my Android phone and replaced it with the Explorer app.  I was surprised to discover that the Explorer app does not support personal accounts.  Which Esri apps still support personal accounts? Thanks, Bernie. ... View more
