@TianWen any update on the filter by extent coming to the table widget in Experience Builder. ArcGIS WebApp Builder was just retired, and I moved most of our main apps to Experience Builder only for my users to point out that this functionality is not there in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3. The recommended work around is not great for our use case because my users alternate between viewing all the records and filtering to the extent when needed. Using the map trigger makes it always on with no way for the user to turn off. ... View more

So WebApp Builder was retired before the filter by extent functionality was added to the Experience Builder table widget? I just moved our main maps to Experience Builder, and this was one of the first things brought to my attention. Just encase someone from Esri reads this, the extent changes work around is not practical because my users used to toggle the filter on as needed. They do not want the filter by extent on all the time with no way for them to turn off. ... View more

I believe this is because of how Esri takes feature services offline. When a feature service is taken offline the user is actually taking a version of the data offline and not the base data. Since the db_datareader role can only read and not write, an error is thrown because the account does not have permission to write the replica to take offline. Or if you data is a traditional version then db_datareader cannot create the new tables for the replica. Esri's way of handling offline/sync has long been a problem for me. I had a similar problem when I wanted to make a feature service published from a SQL Server view table be part of a distributed collaboration with ArcGIS Online. Even though the data the view referenced was setup for offline/sync use, the view's feature service could not be setup for sync because ArcGIS kept trying to create a replica off of the view table and throwing an error. ...

Three things come to mind: Any time Esri updates ArcGIS Online (AGO) I would recommend clearing your browser cache. Sometimes changes to AGO make some cached files no longer compatible with the website and you get odd behavior.  You could try saving a copy of the experience and see if the copy also has the issue. This option could be risky, but you could try using the ArcGIS Online Assistant to remove the Measure Widget you added by editing the experience's JSON. Before changing anything, I would highly recommend copying the existing JSON as is and save the JSON to a file on your computer. That way if removing the widget does not fix the issue you can put back the original JSON for Esri Tech Support to troubleshoot against. Those steps have help me resolve issues with ArcGIS Enterprise content in the past, I would assume they would work for ArcGIS Online as well. I do wish Esri would provide a way to download a copy of items that would allow users to have a backup before making changes to critical items. Then if something goes wrong you just upload the item package as a new item or, even better, have a way to overwrite the original item. ArcGIS Online really needs some built-in backup functionality across the whole platform to be honest. ... View more

Insights 2024.1 is up on My Esri as of this morning, but I have not seen an annoucement yet. ... View more

Have you tried creating a custom print service and see if it has the issue as well? David is correct that the last several versions of ArcGIS Enterprise (AGE) have had this issue with print services and it usually requires a patch to fix. Be sure to log a support ticket with Esri, the more people that report it the more likely it will get fixed. Also, if you are using an existing custom print service Esri has recommended publishing it again after any AGE upgrades. I re-publish our custom print services, geoprocessing services, and locators after each upgrade and have had fewer issues after AGE upgrades. ... View more

Several years ago we moved our geometric network data to a seperate geodatabase and have deliberately kept that geodatabase at the same release level as ArcMap 10.8. That said, I have started encountering odd behavior in ArcMap when trying to edit our geometric networks. Ayan is correct that with the coming deprecation of ArcMap, organizations like us will either have to migrate to Utility Networks or basic feature classes (at the lost of network functionality). I mention both options because moving to a Utility Network is not a simple task. Even if you wrap your head around how your data fits into a Utility Network there is still the hurdle of data cleanup and transformations to make the move possible. ... View more

Just an FYI, ArcGIS Insights always lags several weeks behind an new releases of ArcGIS Enterprise. At least Esri now has something in the upgrade instructions about verifying app compatibility before upgrading. I just wish Esri would have something in the upgrade instructions that explictly states that if you are using apps x, y, or z do not upgrade ArcGIS Enterprise to the latest version until the new compatible versions of the apps are released, and then update the text once the updated apps are released.   If you have Esri apps configured with your portal, ensure you are at a version that's compatible with the 11.3 portal after upgrading. If you configured ArcGIS Insights, you do not need to uninstall it prior to upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise. If you are upgrading both ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Insights, it is best practice to complete the ArcGIS Enterprise upgrade first, including the post-upgrade steps, before upgrading ArcGIS Insights.   ...

A work around is to open the web map in ArcGIS Pro and add the map to a layout. The sketch layer can be added to a legend element in the layout. Most of my coworkers do not have access to ArcGIS Pro, so it would be better to be able to add a sketch layer to the legend in a web map. Here is one ArcGIS Idea to vote on for this functionality: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/portal-new-map-viewer-sketch-layer-show-in-legend/idi-p/1401447  ... View more

I have gotten around that issue by creating a profile using the ArcGIS API for Python. I create the profile outside of my script and then reference the profile in my script. Just remember that you have to create the profile under the account that will be running the script otherwise your script will not be able to find the profile. For example, if you are using Windows and Task Scheduler, the profile has to be created using the account that is executing the task in Task Scheduler. Here is a link describing how to create and use a profile: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/working-with-different-authentication-schemes/#storing-your-credentials-locally ... View more

Please add a search bar to Options to make it easier to find a setting. The list of settings to configure continues to grow which is a good thing but it is getting harder to find things. Adding a search box similar to what most web browsers do for their settings would make it much easier to find things. Maybe have the search box directly under Options in the upper left corner and have it filter the items under Project and Application. Then when you click on an item, the settings of the item show with search results highlighted and expanded if needed.   ... View more

@ArchitSrivastava thank you for the information but I am trying to get distributed collaboration with database views working through a copy/sync operation instead of using a reference. Based on my further testing yesterday, I do not believe it is possible for a database view to participate in a sync operation. Looks like I will be publishing copies of the database views to AGO instead and use a scheduled python script to overwrite the data on AGO. Distributed collaboration would be great if it was not so limited. ... View more
