@DavidColey I am upgrading a multi-machine deployment. The antivirus was disabled during the upgrade on all machines. I have tried repairing the install, restarting the ArcGIS Data Store service, and restarting the server. This has been the most troublesome upgrade I have had in many years. ... View more

@NicolasGIS I did have the "ArcGIS Data Store 11.5 Reliability Patch" installed before the upgrade, but the ArcGIS Data Store service starts without any issues after the upgrade. It is during the upgrade of the relational data store that the process throws an error and quits. In the pg_upgrade_output.d folder there is a log that has this: pg_restore: creating FUNCTION "sde.st_geometry_accum_func("sde"."st_state_data_type", "sde"."st_geometry")" pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC: pg_restore: from TOC entry 6768; 1255 18361 FUNCTION st_geometry_accum_func("sde"."st_state_data_type", "sde"."st_geometry") sde pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: could not find function "st_geometry_accum_func" in file "C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/DataStore/framework/runtime/pgsql/lib/st_geometry.dll" Command was: CREATE FUNCTION "sde"."st_geometry_accum_func"("sde"."st_state_data_type", "sde"."st_geometry") RETURNS "sde"."st_state_data_type" LANGUAGE "c" AS 'st_geometry', 'st_geometry_accum_func'; ...

I just found that I am getting a missing function error in the st_geometry.dll. I have tried the ST_Geometry downloads from My Esri for ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 and ArcGIS Pro 3.7 and they are apparently missing the function as well. pg_restore: creating FUNCTION "sde.st_geometry_accum_func("sde"."st_state_data_type", "sde"."st_geometry")" pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC: pg_restore: from TOC entry 6768; 1255 18361 FUNCTION st_geometry_accum_func("sde"."st_state_data_type", "sde"."st_geometry") sde pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: could not find function "st_geometry_accum_func" in file "C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/DataStore/framework/runtime/pgsql/lib/st_geometry.dll" Command was: CREATE FUNCTION "sde"."st_geometry_accum_func"("sde"."st_state_data_type", "sde"."st_geometry") RETURNS "sde"."st_state_data_type" LANGUAGE "c" AS 'st_geometry', 'st_geometry_accum_func';   ...

@NicolasGIS I was able to get past the ArcGIS for Portal issue after Esri Support provided the registry key after all and a repair of the installer. Now for more hours than I would like to admit, I am stuck on an issue with my relational datastore upgrade. So far, I have found nothing useful in the logs and have tried repairing the ArcGIS Data Store install. Are you running into the issue below, and if so have you found a workaround? Attempt to configure data store failed. Caused by: No valid connection to ArcGIS Data Store configuration store established. Caused by: FATAL: database "dsadmindb" does not exist ... View more

@NicolasGIS could you share the registry values to update? On second thought, don't share that here. Esri Support would not provide them to me yet until I try just a repair first. So, I guess if they won't privately provide me that info then it should not be shared here. ... View more

I wish I had search Esri Community before starting my update. I can confirm this just happened to me going from 11.5 to 12.1. ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 was fully patched before starting the update. I am seeing stuff like this in the arcgis_install_log.txt in the ArcGIS->Portal->framework->support folder.

Yes, please mark this as implemented. I did not even think about looking at the change log for 3.6 first. I will keep that in mind in the future. ... View more

We are on ArcGIS Pro 3.5. We use ArcGIS Enterprise so we always try to match paired versions (3.5 and 11.5 currently). We plan to upgrade to ArcGIS Pro 3.7 and ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 when they are release. It looks like the what is in your screenshot is what I had in mind and I would rather have the undo/redo than a confirmation box now that you mention it. ... View more

We have run into the same issue with Waze requiring different closures where the road name changes. The problem that we have is we are using the Road Closure solution 2.0 and the relationship type between the closures and detours is one-to-many. We have a separate hosted feature service that a Python script does ETL from the road closure layer to another one formatted for Waze. I tried leaving the closure combined in the Esri layer and splitting it in the Waze layer but the next sync wipes that out. Currently if a closure has to be split due to a name change, I will draw the detour in twice the same way for both closures. In theory if you created a new relationship based off of the Closure ID instead of the GlobalID then you could get one popup for the detour. However, if I remember correctly some functionality in ArcGIS Online/Enterprise does not like relationships that are not based on GlobalIDs and it is easier for related data to get accidentally orphaned. There are also many-to-many relationships but Esri's support of them has not been great in my experience, especially in ArcGIS Online/Enterprise. Personally, it would be easier if Waze was smart enough to recognize the two road names in the road name field and process the closure accordingly. You would think in the age of "AI" that would be possible. ... View more

I would add that it would be nice to be able to enable a setting in Portal for ArcGIS to send an email to named users with the Administrator permission that a patch is available once it shows up on the "About" section. ... View more

I am planning on deploying the following: Damage Assessment Emergency Debris Management Emergency Management Operations Emergency Shelter Management Special Event Operations My current plan is to: Deploy all of them, except Damage Assessment, to both AGO and AGE On AGE create a distributed collaboration workspace to sync public facing views from AGE to AGO by copy Use AGO Assistant to swap the distributed collaboration layers on AGO in the public facing apps on AGO Then delete all of apps, maps, and layers from the solutions on AGO that are not public facing I deployed the Damage Assessment last summer during our flood response and cloned the items to AGE. That created some issues that I had to use AGO Assistant to resolve. I think I am going to start over with a fresh deployment on AGO and do the following: Use distributed collaboration to create a two-way sync by copy between AGO and AGE for the layers Manually recreate the necessary maps and apps on AGE that staff need to use Delete the maps and apps that are not public facing from the solution on AGO I was just curious if there is a better way of going about this. ...

@JaredPilbeam2 I found a more definitive answer for you in another post. As of June 2025, what you are trying to do is not possible with AGO Notebooks and custom web tools in Experience Builder.
