@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. I removed some of the file paths. 2026-05-29 17:24:06 Beginning of the execution for: removeService 2026-05-29 17:24:06 The json file cannot be opened OR File not found: \ArcGIS\Portal\framework\support\nasetup_properties.json 2026-05-29 17:24:06 Invoking Remove Windows Service....... 2026-05-29 17:24:06 First stopping the service before removing it 2026-05-29 17:24:06 Issued stopService control signal to . 2026-05-29 17:24:06 OpenService failed, retrying...123 2026-05-29 17:24:16 OpenService failed, retrying...123 2026-05-29 17:24:26 OpenService failed, retrying...123 2026-05-29 17:24:36 OpenService failed, retrying...123 2026-05-29 17:24:46 OpenService failed, retrying...123 2026-05-29 17:24:56 OpenService failed after multiple attempts183 2026-05-29 17:24:56 Failed to stop the service before removing it 2026-05-29 17:24:56 Beginning of the execution for: customActionCall 2026-05-29 17:24:56 The json file cannot be opened OR File not found: \ArcGIS\Portal\framework\support\nasetup_properties.json 2026-05-29 17:24:56 The json file cannot be opened OR File not found: \ArcGIS\Portal\framework\support\classpath.json 2026-05-29 17:24:56 Invoking Custom Action Call....... 2026-05-29 17:24:56 The command that will be executed is: 2026-05-29 17:24:56 The create process failed: 87 2026-05-29 17:25:01 End of the execution for: customActionCall [2026-05-29 17:36:52] [error] [ 9224] The specified service already exists.

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. See the comment from @xlt208 on 06/03/2025. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/how-to-allow-local-file-upload-with-the-analysis/td-p/1575550  ... View more

Not through the Reporter Instant App, but you can create a companion Manager Instant App. Usually, the Reporter app will use a view that only allows the Add editing capability and the Manager app will use the source layer or another view with at least Update editing capability.  More on controlling who can edit what can be found here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/manage-editing-hfl.htm  ...

Hello @GlenterpriseUK , I had not seen that post. I ended up deleting and recreating the entire collaboration to get the version numbers in sync. To be honest, we are starting to consider moving away from distributed collaborations and going back to Python scripts that truncate/append from ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online. Our distributed collaborations keep having consistent, yet random, issues. Collaboration items on ArcGIS Online will randomly have their permissions changed from Everyone (or specific groups) back to Private. Collaboration workspaces will eventually start failing to sync. How long they run successfully varies. Sometimes they will be fine for months, other times weeks, and sometimes only days. The logs on ArcGIS Enterprise usually have something about failure to create replication package and it tends to happen with enterprise geodatabase feature layers more than hosted feature layers. Creating separate workspaces for hosted feature layers and enterprise feature layers has helped some. I have stopped marking feature layers as Authoritative in ArcGIS Enterprise for collaboration items because that flag seems to make the workspace sync fail more often. I have been going over the issues addressed lists and I see things that are supposed to be fixed that we still have issues with, or the same BUG number is referenced in more than one release. I am planning on going from 11.5 to 12.1 once it is released and completely rebuilding our distributed collaboration one more time. If we are still having issues after that then I will have to move us back to our old Python scripts. ... View more

It has been 7 years since this idea was posted. I am curious if anyone from Esri has even reviewed this idea. My comment from 2024 is still valid today. My organization has workflows that cannot be done in GIS simply because there is no support for multiple coded domain values throughout the ArcGIS software stack. Could the Survey123 implementation be ported over to the REST API? ... View more
