I hope that is not the case, but it is what it is. This is what I get when I try to view the bug on Esri Support. JoshuaYoung_0-1782835178446.png I know I will not be trying another upgrade off of 11.5 until at least a workaround, if not a patch, is posted. ... View more

Another example that comes to mind is the Special Event Operations solution from ArcGIS Solutions. We recently deployed this solution and in the solution there is one service, one map, and one app for people to edit what is happening with an event. After showing the solution to Fire, Parks, Police, and Public Works they pointed out that are different aspects that each department is responsible for and they were concerned with accidentally modifying some other departments edits. Currently, I will have to recreate the solution by making copies of the service, map, and app for each department so that each department can edit what they need to but still see what the other departments are doing for overall operational context. It would save so much time to be able to even at just the service level control edits and views for different groups and that propagates up through the map and app. Then I have just one service, map, and app to manage special event operations but different controls for the different groups accessing it. ...

Based on what I am seeing on Esri Community, I expect it is more of an issue with the ArcGIS Online update than the deployment of the solution. If you have not already done so, I would recommend opening a case with Esri Support for the issue so they can start working on a fix. ... View more

Did you deploy the solution to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise? I believe ArcGIS Online was updated just yesterday. Either way, I would try signing out and then delete the site cookie for ArcGIS Online or Enterprise and your browser cache. I have not seen those specific errors before, but it looks like something is either unavailable or is being looked for in the wrong location which old cookies or cache could cause. ... View more

@CordulaGöke in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.7 I just used model builder to select some points in a geopackage and ran the Calculate Field tool on that selection putting the results in a new field. The process was: Make Feature Layer - input was the point feature class in the geopackage Select Layer by Attribute Calculate Field - typed in a new field name to store the results I tried the Multi Values to Points tool but it would not let me use point feature class in a geopackage as the input. Doing so generated an error that the file was not supported. I tried to get around that by using Make Feature Layer first. The Multi Values to Points did run after that but failed with an error and the point feature class was deleted from the geopackage. I also tried Extract Values to Points but if I try to put the output in a geopackage it keeps appending ".shp" to the end of the output name and there is no way to remove it. Running the tool obviously generates an error. Running the Extract Values to Points tool with the input points coming from a geopackage and the results being stored in a file geodatabase works. I would recommend opening a support ticket for the Multi Values to Points and Extract Values to Points tools failing to output data to a geopackage. The Multi Values to Points tool overwrites the input points file, so if it is trying to save the new points as a shapefile inside a geopackage that would explain the table being deleted. ...

I have noticed in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.7, you can add fields and use tools that add fields when interacting with feature classes in a geopackage in the Catalog Pane or Catalog View. Interacting with a feature class in a geopackage through a Map treats the feature class as read-only (a warning is visible when trying to add a field through the Contents Pane). Currently, file geodatabases support things like datasets, attribute rules, topology, utility networks, parcel fabrics, domains, and other Esri specific functionality. I think the another difference is file geodatabases are able to compress the geometries stored and geopackages cannot. I am not sure what you mean by "full functionality", but I do not expect geopackages will support any of those Esri capabilities because the purpose of the geopackage format is interoperability between software. There are also Esri mobile geodatabases which is kind of a hybrid between file geodatabases and geopackages. They do not support everything that a file geodatabase does, but they do support most of Esri's database functionality. Mobile geodatabases are also built on SQLite but use ST_Geometry to store the spatial data. My recommendation would be to use either file geodatabases or mobile geodatabases and then export to a geopackage when you need to share the data with someone that does not have access to Esri software. ...

Our ArcGIS Server instance is on a different server from ArcGIS for Portal. I have never checked the RAM usage on our ArcGIS Server when doing I portal patch. I will keep that in mind next time. What you are describing sounds a lot like what I went through trying to upgrade 11.5 to 12.1. The install completed but most of the directories were empty. Checking the installer logs it looked like the 7zip process to extract the patch files crashed with an error but the installer just kept trying to do things with missing files until it finished. The Portal for ArcGIS Security 2026 Update 1 Patch D for 11.5 is supposed to fix that 11.5 to 12.1 issue but I wonder if it needs to be installed before doing any other 11.5 portal patches? ...

I ran the Portal for ArcGIS Security 2026 Update 2 Patch on 11.5 last night and did not see anything out of the ordinary. RAM usage was normal during and after the update. We have been on 11.5 since last summer and have installed every portal patch as they came out. So, I installed Portal for ArcGIS Security 2026 Update 2 Patch on top of Portal for ArcGIS Security 2026 Update 1 Patch D for 11.5. I manually execute the patch MSP files. Did you use PowerShell to execute the MSP file? That might have something to do with it. Two things that come to mind are the patch file needs to run with admin permissions and sometimes security/antivirus software can mess up portal patches/upgrades. We use separate physical servers, so I do not know much about snapshots. Restoring the folders to a time before installing the patch should have removed the patch files. Does the Patch Notification show the patch installed? ... View more

The way to do that is using a related table to track the repairs using a one to many relationship. Unfortunately with the way ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise currently work, you will have to republish your layers after creating the relationships between the asset layers and the repair tables in ArcGIS Pro. Here is Esri's documentation on relationship classes: https://doc.esri.com/en/arcgis-pro/latest/tool-reference/data-management/create-relationship-class.html?tabs=dialog  I would recommend one repair table for each asset layer you have, instead of trying to relate one repair table to many asset layers. For example, a sprinkler point layer should have one related table and a valve point layer should have a different related table. ArcGIS Field Maps has much better support for related tables now. Select an asset on the map and in the popup there should be a button to add a related record to the asset. Also, the ArcGIS Solutions Irrigation System Data Management solution already has a related inspection table for its assets that you can add a repair cost field to. ... View more

I have never seen anything official from Esri about OS patching. I will say, unofficially, I patch and reboot servers running ArcGIS Enterprise in the order of database server first, then services server, and finally the portal server. I wait for each server to come back up before rebooting the next one. Over the years if I do not reboot them in that order or reboot them all at the same time, I have had ArcGIS Enterprise sometimes behave oddly until one or more of the services running the programs were restarted.  ...
