I went to the trouble of creating a new field in our address points GIS layer to store parcel IDs and populated the field with the ID of the parcel that intersected the address point. However, when creating a new Locator and mapping the ParcelJoinID for the Parcel Role and the Point Address Role nothing is different about the functionality of the locator. Searching for a parcel ID returns the parcel ID and no address information and searching for an address point returns just the address point and no parcel information. The same is true when doing a reverse geocode. The reverse geocode will return either a parcel ID with no address information or an address with no parcel ID. I am testing with parcels that have both a parcel ID and an address point. What does the ParcelJoinID actually do?

My organization is also experiencing this issue. A member of the hub team was in an edit session to update some of the content on that particular site, but when they went to save they got a 404 message. I am now getting the error as well when I try to edit the site. We have another site and it is still working so far. I have tried different browsers and using InPrivate sessions to clear any caches or cookies.

I ran into the "Error happened while transforming data" issue a few weeks ago. After some troubleshooting and confirmation from Esri Support, we figured out it was because I have some roads with true curve segments. Upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 2.6 fixed the bug, and for ArcGIS Pro 2.5 exporting the roads to a shapefile fixed the problem because it removes the true curves.

Sorry, I forgot to post an update here. I contacted support and they were able to provide the info I needed. I modified a copy of the script that you provided to do incremental backups. So now I have two scripts, batch files, and webgisdr.properties files to handle full and incremental backups on a schedule. I am running the script on a machine that has ArcGIS Portal installed but I didn't realize that the Python environment for Portal does not include the dateutils module. After I got dateutils installed everything is working as expected. Thank you so much for your script. It really helps manage the backups.

I see the new email capability in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 sends emails based on how soon licenses are expiring. I would like to expand that to create custom delivery schedules for emails designed by admins (separate Idea Add an HTML Email Builder for Emails sent from Portal ). Have the ability to pick one or more dates and times an email should be sent out. This would be great for things like scheduled maintenance. There should also be a UI to see a queue of past and pending scheduled emails, and a way for admins to manage that queue.

I know this thread is old but just in case others are having the issue of hosted feature services being in a hybrid state where ArcGIS Portal thinks the service is a standard feature service but ArcGIS Server thinks it is a hosted feature service. In troubleshooting a different issue I stumbled upon a solution that worked for me. In the Contents directory of ArcGIS Portal every item has a iteminfo.xml file associated with it. This is apparently where Esri marks a feature service as a hosted feature service. In the "<typekeywords>" section make sure there is a typekeyword set as "<typekeyword>Hosted Service</typekeyword>". That is all I had to do. I did not have to restart any services or processes, I just had to refresh the item page in ArcGIS Portal and there were all the settings and options for hosted feature services again. Creating views and changing settings are available again and work. Hosted feature service views require two typekeywords, "<typekeyword>Hosted Service</typekeyword><typekeyword>View Service</typekeyword>". I still wish I knew why the 10.6 to 10.6.1 upgrade stripped the "Hosted Service" typekeyword from ALL the hosting feature services that existed at the time of the upgrade. A year and a half of hosted feature services were rendered unmanageable because of that bug. Hopefully this helps someone else and I would recommend making a backup copy of the XML file before modifying anything.

I am looking to start doing daily incremental backups in addition to our weekly full backups. I am having trouble finding documentation on how incremental backups operate. Are incremental backup files automatically deleted once the next full backup is created or do I need to delete them manually? Can multiple incremental backup files be in the same backup directory or do they need to moved to a "Previous" folder as well? I really appreciate the script provided here and all the documentation Esri has on how the full backup process works.

That is true, but I have many users that want things as simple as possible and some that do not know how to bookmark a website. So being able to use Site items, or maybe even Experience Builder items, as a Start Page would be very helpful. I was thinking that a group could be used to curate which items should be in the Start Page dropdown list. That way admins can control what is available in the list and the list does not get long with unnecessary choices.

Is there a technical reason you cannot enable Living Atlas access through the ArcGIS Portal settings. I believe this has been an option since 10.5. Here is Esri's help documentation: Configure Living Atlas content—Portal for ArcGIS (10.8) | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise

Please add the ability to set a Site page as the Start Page for a user. This would greatly improve engagement with non-GIS end users.

I am using ArcGIS Maps for Office 2020.1.1 with an ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 connection. I get a warning every time I login to the addin in Excel that says "Functionality such as the following will not be available due to the configuration of your ArcGIS Server: Select features by drawing a rectangle, Find near selection". The odd thing is both of those features work as expected. I am using the latest version of ArcGIS Maps for Office as of July 15, 2020 both on my computer and the Portal components. Our Portal has a geocoding service running and the geometry service is running. I only have one ArcGIS Server and it is our federated hosting server. I have validated the federation and it is good. How do I get that warning to go away? I am assuming it is a bug since I have not been able to find functionality that is not working.
