I just got an email touting the new features of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1. It says that the new Map Viewer is now incorporated into ArcGIS Enterprise. I played with the new Map Viewer a few months ago and it wasn't great for some of my older applications, but I thought it would be extremely valuable on a new application we're building in Web AppBuilder. What I liked were the popups that supported a stacked column of information. We were already planning on implementing something vary similar using JavaScript, but I thought this would save us on customization. My question is do these stacked column popups that you can create in the new Map Viewer required the 4.X JS API to display or can they be displayed in Web AppBuilder using the 3.X JS API. Happy Thanksgiving! Nathan

Hi @KoryKramer, Yes, that is what I am talking about. I just don't understand why the jobs need to build up on my computer at all. If publishing was successful, why doesn't it get deleted. I had hundreds of successful map service publishing jobs. It just seems like an unnecessary step for me. Maybe there are other reasons it is there. I am just sharing my viewpoint. Thanks, Nathan

Sorry, this is really a question in ArcGIS Ideas, but I think Kory will do a great job answering it. I just noticed my hard drive was pretty full. Usually, it's Windows Updates that have built up over time. This time, I had 120 GB of publishing jobs that had finished and ArcGIS Pro was storing files of some sort related to the publishing process. Why is this necessary? If I had an idea, it would be to eliminate the need to do research and figure out why I have 120 GB of storage used up for jobs that published successfully. Why is this being stored?

Hi Allison, Yes, I tried renaming one of the layers and it validated easily and I ran the tool. When I renamed it back, the error message came back.

I have three layers in a map that have the same name for certain reasons. In the Apply Symbology From Layer tool, it clearly delineates the different layers in the map in the layer parameter pull-down menus by adding :n to the layer names. However, it will not work if the input layer and symbology layer have the same name, even with the :n distinction. It says they are basically the same. I think this should work even the layer names are the same. The layers are different and the operation makes sense.

Thanks Kory!

Thanks, Eric. I will look into that.

I'm working on customizing a widget and I need access to all of the layers and tables in the map to clear selections. I was imitating other parts of Web AppBuilder and using LayerInfos. I had no problem doing this with a custom class that was probably loaded later in the application loading process. However, this time around I am having some issues. Here is the code I am running: var layerInfosObj = LayerInfos.getInstanceSync(); var layerObjects = []; layerInfosObj.getLayerInfoArray().forEach(function (layerInfo) { layerObjects.push(layerInfo.layerObject); }); layerInfosObj.getTableInfoArray().forEach(function (tableInfo) { layerObjects.push(tableInfo.layerObject); }); I added this code to an event handler that subscribes to app/mapLoaded. The layer objects I get from the layers are all fully built out. The ones from the tables are somewhat empty objects. If I run the same code after the app is fully loaded, the layer objects for the tables are complete. I need the layer Objects for the tables to have the clearSelection method and they don't on app/mapLoaded. Is there another topic I could subscribe to that occurs later? I have no idea where to find documentation on these subscription topics. I searched for app/mapLoaded elsewhere in the code and I could not find where it is published. Therefore, I don't know how this works.

Yes, I had a similar issue and just wanted to add my experience to the list. I had a scheduled task that had been working for a while with no problems. All of a sudden, I stopped getting email messages from the script. The script wasn't capturing all exceptions in the code, just those in the main block of business logic. So, it was not catching this error, which was causing the Scheduled Task to fail with code 2147942401. Like you, I just opened ArcGIS Pro and signed into a named user account and the script started working. Could you explain Robert what might have changed? I haven't logged into ArcGIS Pro on that machine in a while, but it was working a few months ago.

I'm trying to design a new application and I want to know what is possible with popup highlights. I am considering the idea of using different selection symbols for each layer and using different popup highlights for each layer, but I see no evidence that popups can support anything more than one symbol per feature type. Is this possible? We have widely varying point symbol sizes and we want the selection symbols to outline the point features? As a side question, can popups exist independently of a map. For example, can a popup just display feature data without having a map. Also, can you have multiple popups in the same application or is there just one popup class tied to the map? I ask this because I am not sure if the InfoWindows that the Search widget displays are just using the map's InfoWindow or if the map has its own and the Search widget has its own. Generally speaking, I am trying to understand popups a little better so I can make them work well with our selections.

Hi Kory, Regarding your first point, the feature class was in a feature dataset and the table was at the root of the enterprise geodatabase. I don't know if you can make multiple selections and navigate folders between them. The last location is not consistently remembered. It seems to fail more when I have successfully added a dataset to the map and remember the last location when I hit cancel from the Add Data window, however, I have found exceptions to that. It fails 50-60% of the time. I was not aware of Favorites or Add To New Projects. That's a really valuable post.

I agree with Ken. It might be more efficient to add the database connection, then drag and drop the feature classes, but that is not natural. I just want to click Add Data, navigate to the layer, add a feature class, reopen it again, and add another feature class. Really, I think part of the issue is that there is no longer a concept of system-wide folder and database connections. So, when you want to just join two tables and export the result, it takes a lot longer to find your data and add it to the map than in ArcMap. In ArcMap, I have a database connection all ready to go. In ArcGIS Pro, I don't want to open an existing project and risk modifying it to get access to common database connections I use. So, I have to use Add Data and browse to the dataset or create a project for doing ad-hoc quick analyses, but I would prefer that the software was more user friendly versus finding cute workarounds.

Hi Kory, It's nice to know there is a history on that pulldown menu, however, I would never have thought that it was there. After testing Windows Explorer, it matches that behavior. I was asking more for it to open to the same folder you had open when you closed the dialog the last time. So for example, if I add a feature class from Zion.gdb, it would open up to Zion.gdb the next time I click on Add Data. After doing more testing, it does work sometimes. I have tried it several times and sometimes it works the way I want it to and sometimes it opens on the Projects folder.

I just added a feature class to my map using the Map --> Add Data --> Data option. I had to traverse a bunch of folders to get to it and took a lot of navigation. Then, I needed to add a stand-alone table from the same enterprise geodatabase. I had to start all over again and renavigate to the folder. I am just doing some quick geoprocessing in a project I will not save. Why can't the file browser remember the last folder it was in just like most apps in Windows?

I had a question to those who say the installation is very slow and the logs show progress. How often do the logs show progress? I feel like the installer is completely dead. No CPU usage on any of the installer applications. No entries in the Portal installation log for 30 minutes. Is that normal?
