Here, I am talking about the ability to take a scanned map image, say from https://davidrumsey.com and bring that image into ArcGIS Online to georeference it. Yes, there are workflows to go from the Desktop to ArcGIS Online, but this would allow many users to completely untether from desktop GIS. There are currently a couple of web-based georeferencers available, including the aging MapWarper, implemented by NYPL here: http://maps.nypl.org/warper/, as well as Klokan Technology's Georeferencer, which can be experienced at https://www.davidrumsey.com/view/georeferencer. Klokan also provides a "pay to play" service that allows users to host a limited number of map images for georeferencing and provides GeoTiff download, WMS, WMTS and other services on the resulting data.  The Klokan georeferencer leverages the https://iiif.io/ Image Interoperability standard, which is quickly being adopted by many orgs in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) community for serving, sharing and manipulating imagery collections, including cartographic materials. DavidRumsey.com, as well as other venues like OldMapsOnline.org are using IIIF extensively, so a georeferencer that supports IIIF would instantly provide access to hundreds of thousands of historic  cartographic resources, including the Library of Congress' Sanborn Maps Collection, which will soon begin moving into the public domain. This is really the last bit of major functionality needed to make ArcGIS Online a true replacement for Desktop GIS applications, particularly for academic research in the Humanities. ... View more

I'm trying to hit my geocoding servers REST API:[https://locator.stanford.edu/arcgis/rest/services/geocode/USA_StreetAddress/GeocodeServer] (ArcGIS Server 10.6.1) using the POST method (which, BTW, could use an example or two, there only seems to be this VERY brief "note" on WHEN to use POST, not HOW: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geocoding-geocode-addresses.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_351DE4FD98FE44958C8194EC5A7BEF7D). I'm trying to use the requests.post, and I think I've managed to get the token accepted, etc..., but I keep getting: {'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Unable to complete operation.', 'details': []}}‍ Which, based on my experience with using the GET method, means something is wrong with the way I am formatting the submitted data? Though, I've been cutting and pasting directly from the Esri Help file examples for GET, but I'm not sure that's what is needed for POST. Any thoughts on how to proceed are welcome. I'm about to see what adding headers might do? Here's my code: # import the requests library import requests # Multiple address records addresses={ "records": [ { "attributes": { "OBJECTID": 1, "Street": "380 New York St.", "City": "Redlands", "Region": "CA", "ZIP": "92373" } }, { "attributes": { "OBJECTID": 2, "Street": "1 World Way", "City": "Los Angeles", "Region": "CA", "ZIP": "90045" } } ] } # Parameters # Geocoder endpoint URL = 'https://locator.stanford.edu/arcgis/rest/services/geocode/USA_StreetAddress/GeocodeServer/geocodeAddresses?' # token from locator.stanford.edu/arcgis/tokens mytoken = <GeneratedToken> # output spatial reference id outsrid = 4326 # output format format = 'pjson' # params data to be sent to api params ={'outSR':outsrid,'f':format,'token':mytoken} # Use POST to batch geocode r = requests.post(url=URL, data=addresses, params=params) print(r.json()) print(r.text)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I've altered the attribute names for my service, as seen here: Address Fields: Street ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: Street or Intersection , required: false , length: 100 ) City ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: City or Placename , required: false , length: 40 ) State ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: State , required: false , length: 100 ) ZIP ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: ZIP Code , required: false , length: 10 ) ...

We're experiencing failure of tools in the Spatial Statistics toolbox, on all machines. Checked our ENV paths, did a reinstall, etc... nothing seems to fix it. Here is the error we get.  Executing: SpatialAutocorrelation places POP2000 NO_REPORT INVERSE_DISTANCE EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE NONE # # Start Time: Thu Dec 08 10:31:01 2016 Running script SpatialAutocorrelation...

I'm trying to deploy our installation batch files [GitHub - StanfordGeospatialCenter/arcgis-install-batch: Batch files and supporting documents for installing ArcGIS Deskt… ] and am finding that the ESRI_LICENSE_HOST parameter documented in the Silent Installation dox doesn't seem to be working in 10.4.1. Can anyone confirm that? I've created a reg file to write the registry entry at the end, but I'd rather be using the MSI parameter, if I'm missing something obvious. Attaching the bat and reg files here for troubleshooting. Can't find anything on StackExchange, so here I am at Geonet. Thanks in advance.  Stace ... View more

When I deauthorize the currnet year licenses in order to update, the borrowed ones will remain outstanding. If I have users that need borrowed licenses return the old license before they expire, the LM will just give them back the same stale license until after the expiration date, instead of the shiny new ones, because LM distributes the older licenses first. The LM should default to providing the license with the latest expiration date available on the server, leaving the stale ones once they are returned. ... View more

I have a user on borrowed license who is now experiencing 16 minute "import arcpy" delays. If he connects to VPN, the delay goes away, so I suspect a FLEXLM_TIMEOUT weirdness going on. Anyone seen this and have a fix? ... View more
