I have a quality control script that recreates features from a line work layer to ensure all our taxing districts are following the tax parcel boundaries. We have been running this script every year since version 10.0 We recently upgraded to 10.5 and ran into a scenario where the union tool was creating features (in a file geodatabase featureclass) that have a shape_length value but the shape_area was zero. These features are tiny slivers (usually on curves) that appear to be lines (but are really polygons). The script copies the fallout features from the union layer to a quality control featuredataset in SDE using arpy.da cursors (search and insert). where these areas are zero we started getting the following error: SystemError: error return without exception set running a quick test, I tried to use the getArea() method to put in an exception for areas equaling zero. layer = r"\\path\to\featureclass" with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(layer, ["SHAPE@"]) as cursor:    for row in cursor:       if row[0].getArea() == 0.0:          # do something what I ran into was sometimes it worked and sometimes it through an error: AttributeError: '_passthrough' object has no attribute 'getArea' so then I decided to just print row[0] and my results have mixed geometries... <arcpy.arcobjects.mixins._passthrough object at 0x1585D610> <geoprocessing describe geometry object object at 0x0297E0C0> <arcpy.arcobjects.mixins._passthrough object at 0x1585D610> <geoprocessing describe geometry object object at 0x0297E0C0> <arcpy.arcobjects.mixins._passthrough object at 0x1585D610> <geoprocessing describe geometry object object at 0x0297E0C0> what is this all about? I have never seen these arcpy.arcobjects.mixins._passthrough objects. can someone please explain the difference between these geometry types? and was this just introduced in version 10.5? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks, Kathleen ... View more

We have a base map service that displays different layers (with different cartography) based on the zoom level of the map. In our AGOL web app we use the print widget which works fine when printing to the current map scale. When we select a different map scale in the print widget, the base map does not display correctly because the widget has passed the currently view able map layers to the widget for printing. But often times those layers are not visible at the scale selected for printing, and different layers are visible. However, the print widget does not seem to accommodate for the visible layers at the selected print scale. I have tried to customize the print widget to zoom to the selected print scale before sending the print command. But the map is passed to the widget as soon as the widget is launched. I even tried to redefine the map reference in the widget after the zoom takes place... but this did not seem to work. We cannot possibly be the only company who has scale dependent base maps that have users who require scale specific print levels. I believe this is a bug in the print widget. Can someone from https://community.esri.com/groups/technical-support?sr=search&searchId=728c33bd-5b7e-4333-9727-fff1a829433f&searchIndex=2 or the https://community.esri.com/community/developers/web-developers/arcgis-online-developers?sr=search&searchId=1cf08b7e-9cba-4fe2-84ad-5e9a7247544d&searchIndex=2 Team please look into this issue? Thanks! ... View more

We have an ArcGIS Server 10.4.1 site that runs in IIS 7 through the Web Adapter on port 80 (HTTP only). I installed 3 Web Adapters several years ago for different access points to this server. All these installs were done silently as required by the name and site number conflict using the wizard. Now we have decided to upgrade to 10.5 and we want our new server to use HTTPS. We also want to install Portal. So we are creating brand new sites and installs for these on new virtual servers. I created the two new sites in IIS (one for the new ArcGIS Server and one for Portal) I was having trouble installing the new 10.5 Web Adapter silently from the command line. So I closed CMD and re-opened it using the Run as Administrator option. The Web Adapter installed fine on the first try on the site I dedicated to ArcGIS Server, but I cannot for the life of me get it to install on the second site I was dedicating to Portal. The weird thing is, it goes through the entire install process and everything looks like it worked just fine (no errors), but when it finishes, it just isn't there. I am positive I am assigning a unique name, and the site number is correct. All the permissions are set the same for both sites and the bindings are set on both for port 443. Does any one have any incite on this? Has anyone else tried to do a silent install and it looks like it works, but never actually gets installed? Here was my exact process below... (and yes i even tried to use port 80 and that didn't work either. Run cmd as administrator cd C:\Temp\ArcGIS_10.5\WebAdaptorIIS\SetupFiles msiexec /I setup.msi /qb VDIRNAME=arcgisserver WEBSITE_ID=9 PORT=443 ADDLOCAL=ALL (installed first try) msiexec /I setup.msi /qb VDIRNAME=arcgisportal WEBSITE_ID=10 PORT=443 ADDLOCAL=ALL (will NOT install) ...

We just upgraded ArcDesktop from 10.4.1 to 10.5 and I am curious why ESRI has removed the address number prefix and suffix elements from the Single House SubAddress locator? Similarly, why did they decide to get rid of a second sub address option? We have thousands of addresses with both building and unit identifiers. And we have thousands of addresses that have address number suffixes.   It seems to me that this last release has gone backwards in functionality and usability. Is there any plan to bring this capability back to the Single House SubAddress locator in future releases? ... View more
