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. ... View more

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? ... View more

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? ... View more

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. ... View more

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? ...

We have recently upgraded to Maps for Office 5.0 (from 4.1) and our initial testing has hit some issues with sharing layers and/or maps. Are there any mechanisms to log further information from the product or general troubleshooting guidelines? The current behaviour is that the layer/map hits 20% when sharing before an error of "the map could not be shared {"log":"false"}" appears. The underlying hosting server & datastore FINE logs indicate no issues and even suggest that the publishing was a success. When you attempt to access the hosted feature layer, the table has no records or fields. As the same dataset can be added to Portal via the 2D map, my content or using 4.1 without any issues, we are currently pointing the finger at M4O 5.0. ... View more
