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

@DavidColey just to make sure I understand this correctly. You ran the restoredatastore command on the backup of the 12.0 version of the relational data store with ArcGIS Data Store 12.1 installed? So, the restoredatastore command upgraded the backup from 12.0 to 12.1 as part of the restore process? ... View more

Hello @jill_es , I do not understand what the ArcGIS for Portal patch has to do with the ArcGIS Data Store issues that have been mentioned. I am glad to hear that the ArcGIS for Portal issue has been identified and resolved. Could the team now look at why Data Store upgrade is encountering errors? Issues I have seen mentioned on Esri Community are: 11.5 to 12.1 upgrade the ArcGIS Data Store service fails to start after upgrading (possibly due to the Data Store reliability patch). The 11.5 to 12.1 upgrade failing to upgrade the relational data store. Error encountered during the pg_restore process because the "st_geometry_accum_func" is missing from the st_geometry.dll. The 12.0 to 12.1 upgrade failing to upgrade the relation data store. The process fails with a dsadmindb not found error. I have already had to roll back our environment from 12.1 to 11.5 once and I really do not want to do that again so soon. I only have a production environment so I cannot just hope the Data Store issue #2 went away because I restored from a backup. ... View more

@DavidColey if you still have the failed upgrade arcgisdatastore folder, in the pgdata folder is there a folder called "pd_upgrade_output.d"? Inside of that were the logs that detailed why my relational datastore was failing to upgrade. I was getting this error whether I tried to run the upgrade through the website or command line. 2026-06-01 12:37:49.231 CDT [9372] ERROR: could not find function "st_geometry_accum_func" in file "C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/DataStore/framework/runtime/pgsql/lib/st_geometry.dll" Apparently the 11.5 relational datastore is running on pg16.x as well. I even went My Esri and got the standalone PostgreSQL v18 st_geometry.dll from the ArcGIS Pro 3.7 and ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 pages. The upgrade still failed with those DLLs. ... View more

@ZachBodenner we are not using only hosted data, and you are correct that dynamic date filters can be set before publishing for referenced data. I do feel like this idea applies to both hosted and referenced layers, but the bigger need is for hosted layers. If dynamic date filters are supported at the web map level then it does not matter what kind of service is involved. ... View more

@JonEmch would the Portal for ArcGIS Security 2026 Update 1 Patch D have anything to do with fixing the issues mentioned in this thread? I am guessing it does not. Even though I rolled back to 11.5, I am guessing my relational database still has the st_geometry_accum_func function stored in it somewhere and the 12.1 st_geometry.dll does not have that function. Is that function supposed to be removed from the database during the upgrade? Was it supposed to be removed during a previous upgrade (my relational data store goes back to at least 10.9.1) ...
