Hi There, I have a large tabular dataset (320,000 records) that I've zipped up in a FGDB and uploaded to my ArcGIS Online Open Data content. I've done this before and then used the hosted table as a starting point for adding on new records via FME workbench as the new data is created in the source data. Once in a while my FME script can fail, due to dealing with the objectID in ArcGIS Online and it not being synched with the objectID of the source table. When this happens I occassionally have to overwrite this table in ArcGIS Online. I have tried to do exactly this the other day and upload a new zipped FGDB to overwrite the existing one. However, it hung up forever and didn't appear to complete and now when I go into AGOL the 'My Content' page will not load in order for me to delete the table and start fresh. Any suggestions, and anyone have some tips for keeping these datasets up to date while hosted in AGOL? I've been using FME but wrapping my head around the objectIDs is only successful 60% of the time. Warren ... View more

Hello, I'd like to report some strange behaviour I've encountered while using Survey123 (v1.4.30). I've designed a survey to allow our field staff to collect details pertaining to city playgrounds. There is a repeat component of the survey where they enter various features that they would observe in the playground, some of these features (but not all) have additional fields that describe more specific characteristics of the equipment. To reflect this I've implemented fields that are only relevant to the survey if a specific component type has been selected. This methodology works fine until the current component has been added and a new repeat is initiated, the required field constraint from the previous component type persists despite the field no longer being relevant. It would seem that this only impacts iPad deployments of the survey (using iPad Air 2 - iOS 9.3.1), I cannot replicate the issue using iPhone6 - iOS 9.3.2). So far I have only been able to avoid this glitch by removing the required constraint from all fields within the repeat section of the survey. I've attached my survey form for review. If anyone else has encountered this problem or has some suggestions give me a shout. Thanks, Warren ... View more

Hi There, I've just noticed that I have a data set that has been orphaned on my Open Data site. I deleted the service that was the parent and now I'm left with a data set that doesn't have a source and is stuck in my data catalogue with the default thumbnail (this ruins my hard work making all the branding cohesive ). After searching GeoNet, this appears to be similar to what Courtney Claessens​ was discussing with Venus Scott​ back in 2014 but I haven't been able to resolve it with the methods they discussed. I've refreshed the index several times and scoured my group for any trace of the offending service or feature service and can't find anything. To the best of my knowledge, my site is up to date so I think this should have been resolved. Does anyone know how I can delete this and clear it from my site? Here is my site: Home | City of Waterloo Open Data and the data item: http://opendata.city-of-waterloo.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/fed19165446b4c0e9a3412e3d45cc9cb_4 Thanks, Warren ... View more

Hi There, I'd like to be be able to routinely update a table that I have published to my ArcGIS Open Data site. Has anyone implemented something like this? I've been creating it as a CSV and replacing it on our web server using a script but my Open Data site only references an external download. So users are unable to query and filter the data. Has anyone been able to update a table in a way that users can still interact with it as a feature service? Thanks, Warren ... View more
