currently approx. 5-10 simustaneous field data collectors current SQL Server Express instance with all SDE gdbs is ~5GB current ArcGIS for Server 10.3.1 Standard Workgroup; 2-core license current Win Server 2008 x64 8GB RAM box functions as: 5TB RAID5 array that stores all SQL db data/logs, and also file data that's shared via SMB runs ArcGIS for Server runs IIS7 web adaptor current published feat. services as added as peroxided items in AGOL current box is always running at 97%+ physical memory, we need more memory and I also want SQL server to utilize more then 1GB of memory, hence the upgrade to Standard. New box. 6-core, 32GB RAM old GIS box will continue to be file server new box will run Hyper-V Core as host OS, with 2 guest VM's, each will be Server 2012 Std: VM-1 Active Directory Domain Controller SQL Server 2012 Std VM-2 ArcGIS for Server 10.5 Standard Workgroup; 2-core ArcGIS Web Adapter on IIS7 Active Directory Domain Controller How should I configure the physical drives in the new box; how about his? Single physical 60GB SSD 7.2K RPM drive for host OS, Hyper-V Core (I don't want to go down the thumb drive route) One Big Raid10 array with 4x500GB SSD 10k RPM physical drives = 1000GB of space. VM-1_OS.vhd -- OS (120GB) VM-1_SQLdata.vhd -- SQL Server Data (500GB) VM-1_SQLlog.vhd -- SQL Server Logs (200GB) VM-2_OS.vhd -- OS and ArcGIS Server and AD DC (120GB) Edit: looks like DC's are incompotible with both SQL server and ArcGIS Server. I'll find a different solution for it. Too bad MS Server 2012 R2 Std didn't come with more then 2 VM licenses...We just cannot justify the datacenter edition price.

same issue here. I rem. this happening last March also.

ArcGIS online popup config, custom attribute display. I included a link to survey123 in the correct format, but I cannot pass data from the clicked feature to any survey123 fields that are type: "note" or "hidden". &field:hidden_name={featureService_fieldName} I checked the schema field type of the hidden and note field and its string, this matches the feature service attribute type. passing data to a survey123 type: "text" field works fine, but it has to be editable, i.e. read_only = "". I'm just trying to link clicked features to forms, WITHOUT the field being editable in survey123. If you pass a string to a type: "text" field in survey123 it works, but what happens when the user edits that field...you no longer have joinable data. This is why I wanted to pass a value to a hidden or non-editable field but I just cant.... any ideas?

I always get that error with that tool (as my heart sinks--lost field data) unless I have the .geodatabase and output .gdb file on the C:\ drive prior to executing the tool. I have a special folder, C:\failedSyncs\ I thought ESRI was adding a supported USB data dumping method? There sure seems to be a lot of "my device won't sync" posts, always has been.

Occasionally we have a field crew member that cannot get their device to Sync. Devices are usually iOS, so they dump the .geodatabase file using iTunes and send it to home base; not a huge deal. **off-topic: Where is the ESRI supported USB method of dumping data from Collector, thought that was in the works? Anyway, I then run the "copy runtime geodatabase to file geodatabase" tool, which converts the .geodatabase to .gdb format. Depending on the number of edits the field crew member had, (especially having to re-link feature attachments), the "Manual" sync process done by me can take some careful planning, consideration and time. I'm sure many others have found themselves in "Manual" sync land, how do you do it? I'm not looking for "I add a field to save the GLOBALID so that I can later batch-update the REL_GLOBALID in the attachment table"....kinds of explanations. 1) have you scripted manual sync's? 2) do you somehow use the "Synchronize Changes" tool? thanks.

sde geodatabase / feature dataset A WGS84 UTM Zone 11N - meters file geodatabase / feature dataset B NAD83 State Plane Arizona East - US Feet Question: When I export (feature class to feature class tool) from feat. dataset A to feat. dataset B, what geographic transformation is used to convert the datum from WGS84 to NAD83? Can this be specified, like you can when using the projection tool? thanks.

same here, we receive "error performing submit job operation for export tiles on export cache." I tried both the AGOL imagery and topo basemap and both give the above error. ESRI, please advise. thanks. EDIT: I removed the ESRI topo basemap and added a cached map service from our 10.3.1 server as the basemap and the download in Collector worked fine.

ArcGIS Server 10.3.1, feat. service published and added as item to AGOL. After adding the item to a map, you cannot export data via analysis/manage data/export data. Error: Data owner(s) must first allow others to export. I am logged into AGOL as the admin, still doesn't work. I'm assuming this functionality is only available for hosted feat. services. Can anyone confirm? Any GUI methods in AGOL to export non-hosted feat. service data to .csv table, FGDB, or SHP? What about upgrading to Server 10.4, I did read about a new "extract" capability in feat. services. thanks.

With the collection of a point, I want to display a unique ID on the attribute form. Simple, just display (read only) the OBJECTID or GlobalID field on the popup config in AGOL; this works great in AGOL. Problem is Collector does not display these fields in the attribute form, regardless of AGOL popup settings. I can see why: the OBJECTID and GlobalID values will likely change pending a sync with the master db in offline mode. Any other workarounds to generating a unique ID with every point collection? thanks.

same issue here, saw the server task mgn reported 90%+ of memory was being used. Just ordered another 4GB of RAM.

Yes, geometry is important. The polygons represent fixed survey area "units" that are walk-able in a single day. The client (editors) will simply "drop" the survey area polys where they want us to survey. Field surveyors will load the same webmap in Collector and know exactly where to survey. It's a way of having the client definitively tell us where they want our surveyors to go. The only workarounds I can think of: 1. I did create a point symbol that draws at the correct dimensions and is automatically scaled according to the reference scale set in the data frame properties. While this works in ArcMap I highly doubt it would act the same in AGOL. 2. Create a web app. using the JS API, have the client use the web app to drop the survey polygons. Include the feat. service in an AGOL web map that the surveyors will use with Collector. As long as all the surveyors push/pull sync each morning before heading out they will be continually "updated" as to where surveys should take place. This should work, but quite a bit of hassling around for a very basic task. I'm open to other suggestions.

I have an existing polygon that has correct x/y dimensions. I would like other editors to simply select the polygon from the feature template and drop it onto the map in a location of their choosing. The catch, I want the editors to do so using ArcGIS Online. This would be simple in ArcGIS Desktop, but since there is not a "copy feature" tool in ArcGIS Online, I was trying to figure out a way to accomplish this using feature templates, which are supported in AGOL after publishing the .mxd to a feature service.

ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3 Q1: Anyway to select a polygon from a feature template and single click the map to add a completed pre-defined polygon? Much like you select a point from a feature template and single click the map to create the point. Q2: If this is possible, does it carry over to feature service - and AGOL? thanks,
