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

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
