Hello, I have a use-case where staff need to be able to take non-editable reference data offline in their Field Maps projects—which is straightforward. The twist, however, is that these reference datasets are part of our Open Data catalog and have regular refreshes using various sources/methods, and we are not able to have enable the sync capability of a Feature Service on them directly. So very long story short, I wrote a Notebook to essentially create and maintain some 'Offline' versions of these reference layers, that would refresh from the source layers on a schedule, making sure our users always had an offline-ready version of these basic organizational datasets for their offline various projects. This has worked mostly well so far, with the exception of one major issue—the script can't complete its updates if there are any outstanding replicas on those offline copies. Since these reference datasets are not editable, I thought it might be okay to just add a step that clears out the outstanding replicas each time before attempting to update — however I'm uncertain how this might affect other editable layers within the project web map. The notebook doesn't directly interact with those at all, but I'm worried that when they go to sync those field edits from the layers that are actually editable, the missing replicas for the non-editable data may prevent the app from being able to sync anything in the project at all. Does anyone know what might happen in this case? I hope my question/situation makes sense. I figured I'd reach out here first to see if anyone knew or had experience with this, and potentially save myself the effort of setting up a big test project.   Thanks! ... View more

I'm experiencing an issue when using Tasks in ArcGIS Online Notebooks. I have a Notebook that runs as expected whenever I start it manually, but when I use the Tasks options to schedule it, it will fail sporadically in the very first cell when simply trying to import arcpy. See error below:     "startTime": "2022-10-13T03:33:04.3991322Z", "endTime": "2022-10-13T03:33:54.2327257Z", "type": "executeNotebook", "results": {}, "status": "FAILED", "username": "", "errors": { "messages": [ "An error has occurred.", "", "---------------------------------------------------------------------------", "Exception encountered at \"In [1]\":", "---------------------------------------------------------------------------", "error Traceback (most recent call last)", " in 7 import arcpy", " 8 from arcgis.gis import GIS", " 9 from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer", "", "/opt/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arcpy/__init__.py in 72 import _initagsenv", " 73 ", " 74 from arcpy.geoprocessing import gp", "", "error: WSLib: failed initializing arcpy. Check if environment was activated correctly." ]       The Task I have set up runs every 3 hours, and fails roughly 30-40% of the time. I've included a screenshot below of the recent results, but I've been seeing this behavior the past few weeks. It was not occurring this past June, when I last had it running with Tasks. I have not been able to identify any pattern to it yet, as the times vary. I will note, my Notebook is using Runtime 4.0 - Advanced. I have not had a chance to upgrade it to a newer runtime for this particular Notebook as some of the packages it relies on have changed in newer versions and will require me to rewrite how some portions of it work. I will get to that after hurricane season, but in the meantime I'm curious if anyone else has run into this issue, or if it has maybe already been logged as a bug? ... View more
