Most organisations would handle this with an appropriate software management system, e.g. SCCM. It is then a decision as to whether you push out updates, have a beta/early adopters group for the latest release, keep 2 versions live in SCCM etc. This is a question that should be handled & answered by your IT team and not necessarily the GIS team (assuming they are separate).

G'day everyone, We are attempting to design & confirm a configuration of ArcGIS Enterprise (single machine deployment) that can be used to provide core services (basemaps, geometry service, geocoding etc) in an active-passive configuration. The current design is two single-machine deployments of ArcGIS Enterprise behind a third party network load balancer. Installed components: PFA 10.7.0 AGS 10.7.0 Web adaptor (portal, server) Data Store 10.7.0 (relational) Citrix netscaler load balancer which presents a virtual IP with the active-passive VM's sitting in that pool Relevant configurations: Datastore is registered to AGS via fully qualified domain name (e.g. vm1.domain.com:6443). ArcGIS Server is federated to Portal via the NLB services url (e.g. NLB.domain.com) and the FQDN admin url (e.g. VM1.domain.com:6443). Portal has IWA web tier authentication. Portal webcontexturl set to https://nlb.domain.com/portal. Both virtual machines in the active-passive configuration are identical and from a user/client perspective, the above configuration provides a seemless SSO experience through the NLB to both VM's. Using the webgisdr workflow to migrate changes from active to passive, we encountered an issue on importing the webgisdr site. Failed to get SHARED_LOCATION property in "webgisdr file". Malformed \uxxxx encoding. Any ideas? The only discrepancy I can see from the documented workflow here is that we have not altered the hosts file. Our justification for using this workflow is to migrate ad-hoc changes to our core services offering, upgrade underlying operating systems and reduce 'in place' ArcGIS Enterprise upgrades. Perhaps there is an alternative? Cheers, Angus

I'd look at your network log (browser developer tools) to see if anything is blocked, failing or erroring out.

What version of ArcGIS? I would not apply CORS handling at the iis tier for 10.6+ in my experience. Have you added any servers to the trusted server list in Portal? Are the CORS errors happening across all clients & domains, or only a subset? In he response headers, you want to be seeing access-control-allow-credentials set to true and access-control-allow-origin the appropriate FQDN.

I have users working on client machines who access our internal Portal through a web proxy. The IE browser experience is not single sign-on, but the browser does prompt for proxy authentication which passes through and signs the user into Portal. Is there a mechanism to set these settings in ArcGIS Pro? We can see that the Pro session is hitting the proxy, despite no underlying reference to it in the application, so it clearly is picking up on WinINet settings. FYI, we cannot replicate this behaviour with ArcGIS Desktop due to the connections proxy configuration capability in ArcCatalog.

Yes, that example aligns exactly with our experience. It's the double edged sword of an open platform that allows users to collaborate on data.

Just as an FYI, the hosting gis server can have extremely high CPU utilisation for javaw, along with significant network sent/received associated with javaw when running expensive queries against a hosted feature layer. You can diagnose this by looking at the response times in the postgresql datastore logs. We had 20+ users querying a poorly designed dataset within seconds of each other which caused the hosting server to grind to a halt. In this case, a single user accessing this hosted feature layer had more impact on hardware than all other users combined.

In Enterprise 10.6.1, is it possible to represent date values as dd/mm/yy in Operations Dashboard? Several widgets i.e. date picker or charts) will present date values as mm/dd/yy. Is ISO 8601 only supported in some widgets/applications in Portal?

I have configured my map, project and all operational layers to use the same thumbnail (company logo). When I create the .mmpk to side-load onto the mobile device, the thumbnail shown is a generic screenshot of the default extent. Looking under the hood of the mmpk, I can see that it is referencing "thumbnail\thumbnail.jpg". Is there any easy way to set this in the application space (Pro or Explorer)? Or, will I have to manually go into the file and change the thumbnail directly in the xml? The end goal is for a disconnected transfer, but I could in theory upload the mmpk to a Portal, change the thumbnail in the Portal item details page and then download the mmpk again if that sets it correctly?

In previous versions of ArcGIS Server, CachingControllers and CachingTools were the primary avenue for configuring and monitoring caching activities. Now at 10.6.1, it seems the job goes to CachingToolsEx which is not exposed in Server Manager. The only method to monitor if the job is running is to remote onto the server and look at core utilisation. CachingControllers instances will still increment to reflect the number of jobs running, but there is no exposure of the server utilisation. It does seem that the number of instances for CachingToolsEx is defined by the number of instances set in CachingTools. But, instances in use for CachingTools will remain at 0 even if all cores are being used by CachingToolsEx. Is there any documentation on what CachingToolsEx is? And, how can we expose this to users so they can confirm their caching job is running correctly on the server?

In ArcMap, it is possible to configure the temp working directory through a system environment variable ARCTMPDIR. http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/supplement/temporary-files-created-by-geoprocessing-tools.htm Is there a similar capability for configuring this windows default temp location for ArcGIS Pro? Ideally, we wish to set this at an application level to override the windows settings.

I am currently testing Pro 2.3.0 rollout for production users and the only issue that has currently been highlighted is that the python api in jupyter notebook is considerably slower. Pro 2.2.4, API 1.4.8 from arcgis import GIS from datetime import datetime <name of gis> = GIS(url=”<GIS url>”, username=”user@domain”) print(gis.properties.user.username) print(datetime.now()) content_manager = gis.content all_content = content_manager.search(query=”*”, max_items=9999) print(len(all_content)) end = datetime.now() print(datetime.now()) Time Taken = 0.7 seconds Pro 2.3, API 1.5.1 from arcgis import GIS from datetime import datetime <name of gis> = GIS(url=”<GIS url>”, username=”user@domain”) print(gis.properties.user.username) print(datetime.now()) content_manager = gis.content all_content = content_manager.search(query=”*”, max_items=9999) print(len(all_content)) end = datetime.now() print(datetime.now()) Time Taken = 4 minutes 9 seconds FYI, the above is just a sample script. Most of my scripts at 1.4.8 are now almost unusable at 1.5.1 because they take hours to run rather than under 30 seconds. Did anyone else experience this degradation going from 1.4.8 to 1.5.1?

In my experience, a full webgisdr backup of a QA environment (no data) should take between 15 - 30 minutes. When this is scaled up to a production system with thousands of users? Between 3 to 10 hours. Luckily for us, the ArcGIS Enterprise platform is quite stable and we have ICT mechanisms to provide resilience. My advice would be to: Host the webgisdr utility on a dedicated VM (perhaps a web adaptor server) so that it does not compete for resources Have the shared location & backup location set to \\portal VM\MyBackups on an appropriate drive If required, exclude read/write anti-virus scanning on the above locations If required, exclude any security measures that would monitor webgisdr (I believe it runs as a java process) - correct me if I am wrong. The above tips reduced our FULL backups from 10 hours to 3. Ultimately it is a conversation between the business, GIS team and IT on what is an unacceptable risk and whether webgisdr can mitigate that risk.

Unfortunately using Fiddler will not be possible. However, I can confirm that the server & portal logs align closely between a 4.2 and 5.0 session of M4O. There are no WARN messages and it almost appears as if the entire publishing/sharing process was a success as a hosted feature layer is created - just empty. Also, as an FYI, the blank hosted feature layer has delete protection turned on by default which I find odd. In terms of dataset, I am just testing with a simple 2 row table, so it is not data specific. E.g. ID,Lat,Long: 1,1,1. Is there no other application logging avenues other than using network inspectors?
