We were looking at deploying it on AGE 11.2 to evaluate what we could use for the upcoming April 2024 eclipse. We are expecting internet to be spotty at best on the day of the event so I am trying to minimize our reliance on internet based resources for staff such as AGO. If the solution has a lot of internet based data then it makes sense to focus on AGO.   ... View more

@KoryKramerit has been a few years since this post. Is there any interest from Esri to add this functionality to feature classes, tables, feature services, etc.? It seems like this functionality is fairly common in most software these days. ... View more

This has often been a defining limitation of ArcGIS that has cause other departments in my organization to go find a different solution to meet there business needs. It seems like this is a simple and common business need. I recently created a CIP dashboard and had to come up with an interesting workaround so users could see all the different types of infrastructure improved by a project without double counting the project. It would be easier to be able to select "Transportation; Water Distribution; Wastewater Collection;" in one field and be able to filter by any one of those values. Something else that would be cool would be to create symbology for the individual domain values and have ArcGIS combine the colors in the symbology based on what values are selected. I will also echo that the original poster provided a simple solution to enable this functionality. ... View more

@FPGIS_FrancescaRohrdid you ever find a cause or solution for this issue. I have just started trying to use distributed collaborations and I am running into this same issue. A service that has been shared with the public will eventually be set back to private on its own. ... View more

In case anyone is interested, here is an Arcade expression I created to work around the 11.2 limitation. You will need to: add the closureglobalid field to the Blocks and Detours forms set the field visibility to hidden make sure editing is disabled set the field to not required create a new Arcade expression using the code below and assign it to the closureglobalid field // This expression is intended to be used with // Road Closures version 2.0 for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 // Set the field names from the Closures layer var closureidField = 'closureid'; var globalidField = 'globalid'; var createddateField = 'created_date'; // Set the buffer distance and units var bufferDistance = 10; var bufferUnits = 'meters' // Get the closure features var closures = FeatureSetById($datastore, 1, [closureidField, globalidField, createddateField], true); // Get an array of all closures within the specified buffer distance var intersectingClosures = Intersects(closures, Buffer($feature, bufferDistance, bufferUnits)); // Check to see if any closures were intersected if (intersectingClosures != null){ var lastCreatedDate; var lastClosure; // Loop through all the intersected closures and return // the GlobalID of the most recently added closure for (var closure in intersectingClosures){ // Get the created date from the first intersected closure if(lastCreatedDate == null){ lastCreatedDate = closure[createddateField]; lastClosure = closure; } // Compare the last closure the the next one in the loop // and keep the most recent one else{ if (lastCreatedDate < closure[createddateField]) { lastCreatedDate = closure[createddateField]; lastClosure = closure; } } } // Return the GlobalID for the most recent // intersecting closure return lastClosure['globalid']; }   ...

@ChrisFoxI am not seeing a Blocks or Detours section in the editing form in Experience Builder or Map Viewer. They do show up on the Configure Form page in the web map   ... View more

I think the new feature service functionality is fairly close to what I had in mind. What would be great is to have a way to add those dashboards created with ArcGIS Monitor data as new tabs in the Organization->Status->Dashboard section if that is the direction Esri is going with ArcGIS Monitor.  What I had in mind is a tab in the Organization->Status->Dashboard section that showed indicators for server health and ArcGIS Enterprise software health. Basically, a simple one stop place for admins to look at within ArcGIS for Portal to know what the overall health of the portal is. Then if there is an issue clicking on the issue launches the federated ArcGIS Monitor site to get more information. I am looking for something that lets me stay within ArcGIS for Portal and only go into ArcGIS Monitor if there is an issue to troubleshoot. ... View more

I am not sure why they have that requirement for the upgrade. My guess would be a copy of the contents of the directory are made during the upgrade. I know that is what happens to the content directory for Portal for ArcGIS. I would highly recommend following Esri's recommendation to manually create backups of all your data stores before proceeding with the upgrade. As for your last two questions, the describedatastore command will show you where your backups are currently saved and the configurebackuplocation will let you change the location if needed. I hope that helps. ... View more
