Actually the minimum number of instances is 0 (1 is the default when you create a new service). If instances are set to zero you save a lot of memory with the trade off that there will be a delay as the instance starts the first time the service is accessed (over some time period, usually 10 seconds to 1 minute). Instances=0 is a good option when you have a large number of published feature services (think Open Data) but only a few of them are active at any one time.   Rich ... View more

Other have addressed dealing with the addressing, but your second question was about 'two point files with one polygon | differences of the placement'. I suggest trying the Near (ArcMap) or Generate Near Table (ArcGIS Pro) command. Summary Calculates distances and other proximity information between features in one or more feature class or layer. Unlike the Near tool, which modifies the input, Generate Near Table writes results to a new stand-alone table and supports finding more than one near feature. This, along with the address information, should help you associate the points correctly. ... View more

Interesting "valid horizon of this coordinate system" implies the wizard has been extended to support 3D data. It is probably not handling Z=No Data correctly.  Secondly, ESRI must have also added some new 'error checking' at 10.6 that was not their before (I've never had a buffer 'clipped' based on a selected coordinate system). For example, UTM zones are not necessarily mathematically limited (i.e, east-west UTM Zone 19 coordinates can be used to reference a position that would fall within UTM Zone 18 or 20, that is because we use false eastings in the UTM definition). https://maptools.com/tutorials/grid_zone_details ...

Found the issue. In ArcMap when loading a feature class contained in a feature dataset you could actually IGNORE the dataset name when building your path. In ArcGIS Pro they required the dataset name (as should have been done in ArcMap). In addition there is a feature class factory that can be used to build your connection in Pro. LayerFactory.Instance.CreateFeatureLayer(uri, mapView.Map, 0, theShortName); Easy solutions is to create a layer file that contains the sde connection information vs. trying to connect directly. In Pro the path formats are: * string url = @"c:\data\project.gdb\DEM"; //Raster dataset from a FileGeodatabase * string url = @"c:\connections\mySDEConnection.sde\roads"; //FeatureClass of a SDE * string url = @"c:\connections\mySDEConnection.sde\States\roads"; //FeatureClass within a FeatureDataset from a SDE <-- what I'm doing * string url = @"c:\data\roads.shp"; //Shapefile * string url = @"c:\data\imagery.tif"; //Image from a file * string url = @"c:\data\mySDEConnection.sde\roads"; //.lyrx or .lpkx file ...

The Renumber Nodes tool is available via ArcCatalog or ArcMap. If accessed via ArcMap you need to open the Catalog tab and open the System Toolboxes folder. In pre-ArcGIS Desktop 10.4.1 installs this toolbox was available from ArcToolbox but at 10.5.1 it is not (you can add it to the ArcToolbox as well by navigating to the toolbox at c:\program files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.5\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes). See image below Rich. ... View more

ArcInfo Workstation uses an ArcInfo (a.k.a., Professional license). This is the same license as you can use with ArcGIS Desktop. In short you just need to have some one load ArcInfo Workstation on your machine (an ensure they set the license server name correctly during the installation).   Msiexec /I setup.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL LICENSESERVER=<your server name> /qb ...

Since you are at ArcGIS Desktop 10.2 you should run the 102UninstallUtility.exe that came with your software and see what you have installed. There is also a ArcGIS 10.3.1 Uninstall Utility as well that does the same thing and would allow you to remove any pre 10.3 software. ... View more

most likely, but in some pure python code I've seen code similar to  getParameter(param0.Name )  you might try arcpy.getParameter("in_features"), were in_feature is a name of a parameter, and see if it works. If it does let us know :-) ... View more
