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

I am having difficulty applying mask files (GML) as footprints to a mosaic dataset that contains Airbus DIMAP data. The mosaic dataset's name field (sourced from the DIM 'dataset' tag) has 1:1 cardinality with the GML 'parent ID'. When adding these products 'as raster' to the mosaic, the footprint is defined by the raster extent. Is there a capability to leverage the underlying mask file programatically? ... View more

The below issue was caused by a change in domain controller for the Portal's IWA identity store config.  "Wal files size exceeded the maximum size" These errors occur in the portal logs every minute and began to occur at the same timestamp as the IWA config change. No other change occured on the Portal machine at this time. Despite these errors, the ArcGIS Enterprise (10.6) is functioning as normal and the underlying postgres db seems to be behaving fine. The walarchive is consistently increasing as per the 60 minute archive setting in postgresql.conf. These archive dumps are all 16,384 KB and have modified dates AFTER the above change and errors began to occur. Therefore, I do not believe anyting is actually going wrong and impacting users, but there is clearly a config/setting somewhere which is tied to the old domain controller. Any thoughts as to where I can investigate further? The underlying postgres logs indicate no issues in this space. FYI, we do not use webgis DR and do not plan on using this as a solution moving forward due to the scale of our deployment (some incremental backups took 7+ hours to complete). ... View more

I am unable to get past step 9 (https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/documentation/install/mapping-charting-solution/latest/configuring-arcgis-for-maritime-server.htm) while configuring maritime server. After adding the SOE, I receive a pop up loading bar which hangs indefinitely. I am experiencing this issue across two environments (10.6 and 10.6.1). Thoughts? ... View more

Referencing the recent Randall Williams's Blog‌, how would you deploy this in a disconnected (no internet) environment? We currently download the patches.json file (https://downloads.esri.com/patch_notification/patches.json) manually and store on a web server within the disconnected environment. We then alter the hosts file to reference this ip address for requests to downloads.esri.com. This provides the capability to run the patch notification utility to list the current patches available for each component of our ArcGIS Enterprise. It would save us a lot of time if we could also bundle in the functionality of deploying these patches as well. What else would we need to configure/alter to allow this functionality? ... View more
