Hello, Thanks for submitting the BUGS regarding the 50x errors, I am getting SO very many of these with the post-survey script I am trying to run to the point its beyond frustrating. The python script is using the update cursor to populate records of data collected in the Field Maps app. When the script successfully runs it will run for an hour. At the moment between yesterday and today I have not even been able to make it thru 275 records in the hosted feature layer to update without getting these timeout errors to the point I've gotten 5 in the last hour. I am at the office and have a good wired network connection. At the moment the script I am using does not have the logic to trigger it to retry the loops. I am a pretty novice programmer and am happy to have the script working as it should with the tasks/metrics needed that I am completely annoyed now to be getting server connection errors. Some days even the AGOL hosted feature layer tables are data error after data error yet the AGOL health status is all good. Its hard to feel very confident in using the Esri cloud if these services are so intermittent in these script connections, or viewing in AGOL, and also there are the sync errors for apps like Field Maps that need to connect to these services to sync data or when downloading an offline map. Seriously its hard to have much confidence in the cloud. In the last 5 minutes I've seen three 504 timeout errors as the scripts displays messages. Very frustrating and in reviewing the BUG status even though they were submitted 2 years ago with High severity nothing seems to be done except for users to add logic/workarounds to compensate.

Hi @ChristalHigdon_USFS , I wish I had a solution to share or explanation, but I am also commonly getting the ERROR 160231 error in python scripts and also now just running the cell within an ArcGIS Pro Notebook. In the table I have there is only ~1000 records. It is very frustrating though as these scripts are commonly getting errors like "Internal server error. (status code 500) and other 5xx errors that I need to try and catch so the scripts can actually complete what I've tried to set up. Are other folks commonly getting the status code 5xx errors as well? I get these commonly on the office network in addition to at home. Thanks, Kathy ... View more

Hi @Anonymous User , One of the groups was out surveying yesterday and the one surveyors had a frustrating time with the tracks not working for a great distance and then repeatedly cutting in and out. The entire time the surveyor is seated in the plane. I've attached the troubleshooting log from yesterday and below is just one section where you can see the tracks are having an issue. The surveyor is using an iPad Pro with Garmin Glo external GPS. 5/6/21, 10:31 AM Tracking started 5/6/21, 10:31 AM Tracking stopped 5/6/21, 10:31 AM Deactivating snapping 5/6/21, 10:31 AM Activating snapping 5/6/21, 10:30 AM Failed to update last known location 5/6/21, 10:30 AM stationary updating LKL service with last location 5/6/21, 10:29 AM Failed to update last known location 5/6/21, 10:29 AM stationary updating LKL service with last location 5/6/21, 10:29 AM Regenerating lines 5/6/21, 10:29 AM Regenerating lines 5/6/21, 10:29 AM Regenerating lines 5/6/21, 10:29 AM Regenerating lines 5/6/21, 10:28 AM Failed to update last known location 5/6/21, 10:28 AM stationary updating LKL service with last location 5/6/21, 10:28 AM Regenerating lines 5/6/21, 10:27 AM Location Manager failed: The operation couldn’t be completed.

Thanks for your insight as to what might be happening. I believe this is similar to Shane Shepherd's experience as well. Thanks, Kathy ... View more

Hi @Anonymous User , Thanks again for the information and review of the log file. It looks like after today's survey both tracks from yesterday and today uploaded so that is good news. I also appreciate the work-around for trying to trigger the tracks to upload. We've had two of the surveyors not be able to get the tracks to be captured and one of them had successfully been collecting them for months until that last update. When I say aerial surveys these are in Alaska on Cessna and Super Cubs, so much smaller than the larger commercial aircraft. The department has been using ArcPad for years in some areas for fisheries management, but in the last year have been migrating from ArcPad or from paper. Here is a web app showing one area survey's. Southeast AK Herring Surveys 2021 (arcgis.com) The biologists have the external GPS up on the dash of the aircraft that are blue-toothed to the iPad Pros. The tablets are just in their hands as they look out the window. Hope this information is helpful because I feel like wildlife/fisheries surveys are a pretty common use case. Thanks, Kathy ...

Hi @Anonymous User , Thanks for the information regarding the tracks and how they upload. We actually had another user yesterday that said during their offline use/aerial survey the tracks showed up great, but I did not see any of their tracks uploaded to AGOL. Can you recommend what the user should do to now get those tracks uploaded to AGOL since their other survey data all synced? I have uploaded the log that shows the pending tracks and failed to upload. How do we get the tracks????? These tracks are from aerial surveys and colllected offline after hours of flying and right now daily flights. Is this the same bug and will it become a cumulative issue for today's flight and not being able to access the tracks? We really need the tracks to extract the altitude values to be used in survey estimate. Also regarding tracks not showing up at all as @Shane_Shepherd mentions below. This was also the case for another user in which I included the troubleshooting log from 041921. While the tracks can work great at times we have had a number of issues where tracks cut in and out or the user can't get them to work at all such as what Shane describes below. It would be great to have more information to troubleshoot and get the tracks to work in these cases. Having the tracks display within the app is a great addition to data collection, but at the moment the tracks seem less than reliable in some cases. I appreciate the information for the enhancement for showing pending tracks, I think this will be a good addition. Thanks, Kathy ... View more

Hi @LanceCole  and @Anonymous User , I would also like to see the 'Zoom to current location' disabled or have the option to disable. Our organization is using Field Maps for aerial surveys and time is very limited in documenting observations. One surveyor said that using the work around above of 'Collect Here' adds an additional step compared to just clicking the 'Add +' button where the menu of editable features is immediately visible. These folks have been using ArcPad for a number of years and have their methods fine-tuned for using apps for aerial surveys. I'm going to add this as an idea for Field Maps I would imagine a lot of folks don't want the default to be zoomed to an area. I mean if they are making these apps for folks surveying hydrants and have a lot of time they might not see this as an issue, but currently it causes a lot of unnecessary zooming on the app. Thanks!, Kathy ...

Thanks @DougMorgenthaler , Based on your response, it sounds like it isn't currently possible to dock the menu on the right. I will add it as a new idea. Thank-you, Kathy ... View more

Hello @Anonymous User , I'm sending troubleshooting logs from Field Maps from one of the users that continues to have issues with the tracks. They are using an iPad Pro and Garmin Glo 2. They have had the tracks work but inconsistent and yesterday they didn't work at all. Could you also explain how ArcGIS Tracker and my tracks within Field Maps coordinate? Would it be more reliable for a user to enable/disable tracks using ArcGIS Tracker than just within Field Maps? The reason I ask is another user also using iPad Pro and external GPS had turned their tracks off within Field Maps, but then forgot they had initially enabled the tracks in the ArcGIS Tracker app. That particularly user has had great success lately with consistent tracks. However this has not been the case for a couple other users who are having difficulties. Hopefully the troubleshooting logs help identify the issue. Looking forward to your response, Kathy ...

Hi @Anonymous User , Currently there have been 3 users that are having tracking issues all using iPad Pros. I've included the log from one of the users. This person has been using the same device for the past few months and for the last weeks using tracks daily. They haven't changed any of the accuracy settings within Field Maps. However it wasn't until last week that the surveyor was unable to get the tracks to work. What's really strange is the tracks worked on a morning survey, but then the surveyor could not get the tracks to work for the afternoon survey. The troubleshooting log is included and at the very end/earliest time you can find info on the tracks. They were just trying to use the integrated iPad Pro GPS but had been also using Garmin Glo. I will be sending info from another surveyor that has been getting those accuracy messages consistently since the update. They also have an iPad Pro and Garmin Glo 2 I believe, but will confirm.  In their testing prior using both the integrated GPS and external they did not receive those errors. They officially started surveying late last week/weekend just in time for the tracks to be very inconsistent which is unfortunate on the timing. More info from those logs soon. Thanks in advance for your help in solving this, Kathy   ... View more
