I republished my viewing services for our utility networks after removing any asset groups or asset types that we are not using at this time. Now I can remove the old utility services, add the new utility network viewing services, and the map will now save in Map Viewer. @PierreloupDucroix  We are using Microsoft IIS web adaptors, but it seems I am hitting a max upload size somewhere when saving the web map. However, I am not seeing anything in the server logs about a limit being exceeded. @RobertKrisher  I think my workaround will be sufficient for the time being. As we expand into collecting new asset types available in the utility networks, I will open a support ticket. ... View more

Hello @prmhara we are also on Enterprise 11.5 and use distributed collaboration to sync between ArcGIS Enterprise (AGE) and ArcGIS Online (AGO). At this point, I just sync my feature services as copies to AGO and build my public facing maps and apps in AGO. If staff need to use that public app as well, I add the app as a new item in AGE using the URL from AGO. When I have tried to sync maps or apps as copies I have often received a login prompt in AGO as well. Usually because something in the map or app is still pointing back to AGE when it should be pointing to the AGO version instead. If I manually fix the issue the next sync would just undo the fix. However, according to Esri's own documentation what you are trying to do should be possible without any additional configuration on your end. "Organization utility resources included with an app, such as printing, are updated to use the recipient's corresponding utility services." https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/share-maps/share-content-with-collaboration-participants.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_62623E63071D428F8DD1F64E70C9DC1C  ...

That does sound like an authentication issue. You might want to double check if you are using web-tier authentication for ArcGIS Enterprise because that requires additional configuration for any print service. If you go to the link you provided (https://<organization.com>/arcgis_local/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/) does the page open correctly or do you get an error message? Is anything showing up in the ArcGIS Server logs or ArcGIS for Portal logs? You could try going into ArcGIS Server Manager and re-share PrintingTools from there. Sometimes the sharing permissions between ArcGIS for Portal and ArcGIS Server get out of sync. You could also try opening your web browser's developer tools (usually F12 on the keyboard) while Experience Builder is open, go to the Network tab in the dev tool window, and then try to add the print service in Experience Builder to see if there is a more detailed error in the network traffic. According to the documentation "arcgis_local" should not be an issue, but I have never used an underscore in the web adaptor name before. ... View more

@DEWright_CA sorry to hear you ran into an issue as well. I created this post to provide a warning since I could not find any warning either, also to get this on Esri's radar, or see if someone found a workaround. I have found over the years that Esri Community is the best place to check to see if there are any issues with upgrades to newer versions of ArcGIS Enterprise. Posts seem to show up here long before an advisory is put out by Esri. ... View more

There was an issue at 11.4 with the print widget failing to load in Experience Builder, but that was supposed to be fixed in 11.5 ( https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/print-service-issue/td-p/1597421 ). Here are some troubleshooting ideas: Do you get any errors when you try to access PrintingTools directly through the REST API? Can you add PrintingTools to the print widget when all the items in the Experience Builder app are publicly shared? Are you using web-tier authentication for ArcGIS Enterprise (see this article: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/11.5/publish-services/windows/printing-maps-that-contain-secured-services.htm ) We are on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 as well, but we use a custom print service for all of our printing. ...

@bsanders69 migrating the data to a RDBMS is not very difficult and @AyanPalit provides a great resource on how to do it. The more time-consuming part is then utilizing that RDBMS data in a solution. It is possible but you have to be very comfortable using ArcGIS Online Assistant to swap all the references in the solution apps, maps, and forms to your RDBMS based services. Things to keep in mind are: You will have to publish your own "views" of the source data using ArcGIS Pro. Make sure those services have the exact same fields available and editing permissions to match their hosted counterparts. Save a copy of the original JSON of an item (app, map, etc.) before making any changes in ArcGIS Online Assistant. If something breaks you can always add back the original. Experience Builder and sites/hubs are a bit tricky to update through ArcGIS Online Assistant because of their draft functionality. I think in both situations updating the JSON there only updates the published version. Depending on your RDBMS, you may have to change field names in the JSON. For example, the hosted feature service may have "OBJECTID" but your RDBMS created the field as "objectid". You just need to verify that the casing is the same or change it in the JSON where needed. If you create attribute rules make sure there is not a form expression accomplishing the same thing. For example, check the editing map in Map Viewer for a form expression to calculate an asset ID before creating an attribute rule that does the same thing. ... View more

Hello @MikeDagle I guess I am thinking about a solution that handles the creation and management of workorders in general that ties into all of the other solutions for asset management. It would be something deployed completely independent of the other solutions but as you deploy the other asset management solutions they can be linked to this workorder solution. I would also like to see it work with the Citizen Problem Reporter solution. For example, a request comes in from the Citizen Problem Reporter about a defaced street sign, the request is assigned to Public Works, Public Works generates a new workorder from the request and assigns it to a field crew, the field crew gets the assignment and generates a new inspection for the sign, the field crew inspects the sign and makes any needed changes to the asset in GIS. From there it all propagates back up to the initial citizen request. Now there is a record of what the citizen requested, the work done, and what was found in the field. Web hooks could be utilized to facilitate notifications and passing attributes back and forth between the solutions (at least until attribute rules come to hosted feature services). I am not looking for a workorder system that rivals dedicated solutions from other vendors. Just something that has the basics that fits in with and utilizes what Esri already offers. I can see this working great with the upcoming "vibe solutioning". That can be used for assets that do not already have a management or inspection solution. ... View more

Also, this might be something to keep an eye on from the ArcGIS Solutions team. Honestly, I have not had much interest in AI/vibe coding until I saw this post. If Esri can add attribute rules to hosted services, this announcement and web hooks could greatly change how we use GIS at my organization (and possibly replace some other software we use). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/scott-oppmann_sneak-peek-vibe-solutioning-in-arcgis-activity-7470094638679486466-jf5l  ...

I wonder if this would be something the ArcGIS Solutions team would like to collaborate on. Surely there are many small to medium sized utility companies or municipalities that could benefit from a light-weight ArcGIS based asset management solution. However, I do not think it would be feasible until attribute rules come to hosted feature services because there are things with workorders that you would want to calculate automatically in the background. ...

I just want to let people know that at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 in 2026 this workflow is still needed and works. All this is done through the ArcGIS Server Admin URL. All views must have these values set "hasStaticData" : false and "sourceSchemaChangesAllowed" : true The source layer then must have this value set "sourceSchemaChangesAllowed" : true. I know Esri says it auto calculates based on the views but that was not the case for me. I had to manually set it to true. Make sure your browser cache is cleared and then you should be able to add fields to the source layer in ArcGIS for Portal. ... View more

@DavidColey thank you for the explanation. I have not heard anything from Esri about the issue that I encountered. My initial ticket with them was about the portal issue and that was closed with the updated patch. Support told me to try the upgrade again and hopefully the data store does not crash this time and to open a new ticket if it does. I do not see how the portal patch would fix my data store issue of a missing function in a DLL. I am trying to figure out my options to move forward with the upgrade of the data store should the same error occur. I think because our environment has been upgraded many times now, the missing function was supposed to have been removed during a previous upgrade and failed to do so. ... View more
