The behavior was on a version. We try not to edit the default. ... View more

We are on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 as well and using SQL Server 2022 for SDE. I tried as well with a referenced branched versioned feature layer. The editing was set to "Attributes only" and a standard account, owner account, and admin account could not edit the geometry in Web Editor. All the geometry tools were greyed out with the standard account. The move tool is available in Web Editor to the owner and admin accounts, but trying to move a feature causes it to snap right back to the original location. ... View more

If your SDE allows and you don't need any editing, you could try publishing the service with a read only data connection to SDE. That should at least cause SDE to reject any edit submissions. I would also recommend creating a support ticket with Esri because that is a serious data integrity issue if Web Editor is indeed bypassing the disable edit geometry setting. I am going to see how Web Editor behaves in my environment. ... View more

Currently we do not have any projects with more than three expenditures. If I have time in the next week, I will test our setup to see what 5+ related records do. ... View more

As long as the computer has an Intel or AMD processor, ArcGIS Pro should run. A computer with a dedicated GPU will give you better performance. Unless something has changed recently, ArcGIS Pro is still not compatible with ARM processors. ArcGIS Pro will not run natively on ARM and last I heard ArcGIS Pro would not run in emulation mode on ARM either. I hope all that changes now that the 2nd generation ARM processors for PCs should be coming to market sometime next year. ... View more

I have used a combination of the ArcGIS for Python API and ago-assistant.esri.com to clone items from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise or vice versa. However, that process has always been clunky. Not everything will clone, cloned items will sometimes be corrupted, and I have to go into the JSON of items to update item ID or service URL references. For the most part it works, but I would like to see something out of the box from Esri. ... View more

Did you ever find a way to use the profile option for storing and retrieving credentials? We have ArcGIS Notebook Server now but many of our scripts have to use credentials to access services and we use the profiles for that. ... View more

I would guess the account that ran the Add Join did not have permission to add an index to either the SDE layer or the hosted feature layer. I would recommend adding the indexes manually outside of the Add Join tool. For hosted feature services you can add an index on the item's Setting page. For SDE layers you can add an index from the Catalog pane through a database connection that uses an account that has permission to add an index. Expand the database connection in the Catalog pane, find your layer, right click properties, select the Indexes tab, and add an index on the join field.     ... View more

Making sure there is an attribute index on the joining fields on both the SDE and hosted feature layer side should help some. Also, I do not think hosted feature layers on AGO like massive single edit operations. If you look on Esri Community there are posts about doing batch edits using the ArcGIS for Python API. ...

We use the SDE schema for our geodatabase ownership (nothing wrong with DBO), but we create a separate account and schema to load GIS data into. We use branch versioning, so we set that up and use ArcGIS Enterprise's sharing functionality to share the service with those that need to edit. If you are not using branch versioning, I would create a group to add editors to, and give that group SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE permissions to your addressing dataset. We have it setup that way for separation of roles, even though most of the time I am the one managing all those roles. It provides better security and helps protect from mistakes. You can do it all under one account and schema which is more convenient to use, but also more convenient to modify and delete things when you do not mean to.  ... View more

This probably sounds crazy, but I think Esri should make an app, be it a web app or computer app, that allows you to modify or create what I will call solution packages. Keep the current solutions website and functionality but add a download link for each solution. Having an app to open, modify, save, and deploy solution packages would meet the needs of people needing offline support, allow exploring the solution before committing to deploying, and allow organizations to customize solutions before deploying. I think the app should be able to do the following: Work with online or offline environments. Reproject layers to a different coordinate system. Remove components that you do not plan to use or are not supported by your environment. This could be removing an entire item or being able to modify apps to remove parts of the app. Remove components that you do not have licensing for (seems to be becoming more of an issue with new solutions). Substitute solution layers with your existing layers. Create your own custom solutions to share with other organizations or deployments you have. ... View more

@Jennifer_Parmeley this prompted me to finally work on a Python script to sync the v2.0 schema with the v1.0 schema. This may not be the most optimal way to do this, but here is the Python script we are now using. The script takes the v2.0 service and translates the data to match the v1.0 service. Then it compares the content of the v2.0 service to that of the v1.0 service to see if an update is needed. If the data matches the script exits, but if there is a difference then the v1.0 service is truncated and the new data is added. For all of this to work the v1.0 service needs to have supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds set to True and Sync cannot be enabled on the service. The GlobalID setting is needed to copy the GlobalIDs from v2.0 to v1.0 otherwise new GlobalID are created. The GlobalIDs are needed for the comparison. Sync must be disabled or the truncate operation will fail. I am running this on ArcGIS Enterprise using ArcGIS Notebook Server Standard, but it should work with ArcGIS Online and/or a standalone Python file running as a scheduled task with some adjustments to the code. from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features import GeoAccessor import pandas as pd import numpy as np gis = GIS("home") # Get the Esri road closures layer using its Item ID item_esri_closures = gis.content.get('<InsertEsriItemIDHere>') # Get just the closure lines layer from the Esri road closure item layer_esri_closures = item_esri_closures.layers[1] # Convert the feature layer to a spatial Pandas dataframe sdf_esri = GeoAccessor.from_layer(layer_esri_closures) # Create a column to store the Waze "type" value and default it to ROAD_CLOSED sdf_esri['type'] = 'ROAD_CLOSED' # Create a column to store the Waze "reference" value and default it to organization ID sdf_esri['reference'] = '<InsertWazeOrganizationIDHere>' # Replace the Esri "reason" values with the Waze equivalent sdf_esri['reason'] = sdf_esri['reason'].replace({'Construction':'ROAD_CLOSED_CONSTRUCTION', 'Event':'ROAD_CLOSED_EVENT', 'Hazard':'ROAD_CLOSED_HAZARD'}) # Replace the Esri "direction" values with the Waze equivalent sdf_esri['direction'] = sdf_esri['direction'].replace({'Both Directions':'BOTH_DIRECTIONS','One Direction':'ONE_DIRECTION'}) # Rename Esri columns to match Waze column names sdf_esri = sdf_esri.rename(columns={'reason':'subtype', 'closureid':'identifier'}) # Keep only the columns that match the Waze schema sdf_esri = sdf_esri[['street','subtype','description','direction','altroute','pocname','pocemail', 'pocphone','url','identifier','activeincid','type','reference','globalid', 'created_user','last_edited_user','created_date','starttime','last_edited_date', 'endtime','SHAPE','SHAPE__Length','objectid']] # Get the Waze road closure service using its item ID item_waze_closures = gis.content.get('InsertWazeItemIDHere') # Create a feature layer object of the closure lines layer from the Waze road closure item layer_waze_closures = item_waze_closures.layers[0] # Convert the feature layer to a spatial dataframe sdf_waze = GeoAccessor.from_layer(layer_waze_closures) # Compare just a subset of the fields from both services # Apparently the SHAPE and SHAPE__Length are modified slightly when applying the edits # so they will not match compare_fields = ['street','subtype','description','direction','altroute','pocname','pocemail', 'pocphone','url','identifier','activeincid','type','reference','globalid', 'created_user','last_edited_user','created_date','starttime','last_edited_date', 'endtime'] sdf_waze_compare = sdf_waze[compare_fields] sdf_esri_compare = sdf_esri[compare_fields] # Make sure the null values are the same between the dataframes sdf_waze_compare = sdf_waze_compare.replace(np.nan,'') sdf_waze_compare = sdf_waze_compare.replace(np.nan,'') # Make sure the dataframes are sorted the same way using the GlobalID sdf_esri_sort = sdf_esri_compare.sort_values(by='globalid', ignore_index=True) sdf_waze_sort = sdf_waze_compare.sort_values(by='globalid', ignore_index=True) # Set the index of both dataframes to use the GlobalID sdf_esri_sort = sdf_esri_sort.set_index('globalid') sdf_waze_sort = sdf_waze_sort.set_index('globalid') # Check if the number of rows are the same equal_indexes = sdf_esri_sort.index.equals(sdf_waze_sort.index) print('Row Count Equal: ' + str(equal_indexes)) # Check if the number of columns are the same equal_columns = sdf_esri_sort.columns.equals(sdf_waze_sort.columns) print('Column Count Equal: ' + str(equal_columns)) # Check if the data in the dataframes already match exists = sdf_esri_sort.isin(sdf_waze_sort.to_dict(orient='list')).all(axis=1) equal_values = False if all(exists): print('Data Equal: True') equal_values = True else: print('Data Equal: False') equal_values = False # A list of the check values checks = [equal_indexes,equal_columns,equal_values] if all(checks): # If all the checks are True then everything is # exactly the same and nothing needs to be updated print('Nothing to update') else: # If one of the checks is False then update the Waze service # Convert the translated dataframe of the Esri service to a FeatureSet featureset_esri = sdf_esri.spatial.to_featureset() # Remove all existing rows from the Waze feature layer layer_waze_closures.manager.truncate() # Add the road closures from the translated Esri dataframe to the Waze service # The supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds must be set to True on the Waze service # or the edit operation will fail layer_waze_closures.edit_features(adds=featureset_esri, use_global_ids=True) print('Updated Waze service')   ...
