Trying to use the field calculator processor in a Geoevent service to look at an existing field and generate a Y/N value that gets written into a different column based on the values of the other field -  I know VB doesn't work in the field calculator, so I'm wondering how to code the expression -  basically it's this: IF field1 in ('AF','AM','AV','IH') then field2 = 'Y' else field2 = 'N' Can this be done in the simple field calculator processor?  Hard to find documentation on coding these expressions.

I have what I think is a fairly straightforward scenario in GeoEvent processor - Points as input, going into a filter that uses two geofences, if a point is in GeoFence 1 or in GeoFence 2... The output feature class that gets written to has 2 attribute fields to accept the Name from GeoFence1 and GeoFence2 - fairly simple so far. So I have a GeoTagger processor to grab the Name field and map it to the appropriate attribute in the output feature class.  All works well for a single Geofence, but what I am wondering is if you can have the GeoTagger create field names for both GeoFences, so that the geotagger definition has GeoFence1 AND GeoFence2 Category/Name in the output - something like this: Is it possible to get this done with a single GeoTagger?

Having a really hard time working with some GeoTaggers in GEP (v. 10.5).  The generated definitions from the GeoTagger take a while to become accessible (via a field mapper, for example), sometimes never appear, and sometimes disappear (usually after making an edit to the GE Service). I found this thread, which describes very similar behavior but for 10.3.1 version of GEP: https://community.esri.com/message/525325?q=GeoTagger  This issue is only for GeoTagger-generated definitions, any other system- or user-generated/owned definitions seem to be fine and reliably available. We are going to significantly bump up the CPU/RAM on the hosting server (it's Virtual, with 1 core and 8GB currently but doesn't have huge amounts services with huge amounts of data running - yet), as it is under-powered currently, so I cannot rule that out as the culprit here but wanted to see if this issue has cropped up for anyone working in 10.5 GEP.

We have added a large 😧 drive to the virtual server where our primary Portal site is installed.  We also have ArcServer installed here (federated) and datastore for hosting capability (all Enterprise 10.5) We need to move the datastore to this 😧 drive (from the C: drive on the same machine) as we are rapidly running out of space.  Yes, in hindsight this should have been done at initial install.  Lessons learned... I wanted to confirm that the steps to do this are essentially the same as those listed here, for moving the Datastore from 1 machine to another: Move a relational or tile cache data store—Portal for ArcGIS (10.5.x) | ArcGIS Enterprise  It seems like it would be quite similar, but hoping to get confirmation before we map out an execute the move.

We have created a geoprocessing service that uses a modified version the Reportlab pdf generation from the ESRI Public Notification app.  The script takes an address or  parcel, buffers it, generates 1 pdf for property owners in the buffer area, and a 2nd pdf for the Neighborhood Associations officers for the NHA where the parcel is.   The script runs as desired, and generates the output pdf's in the scratch directory on the ArcServer machine (C:\users\username\documents\ArcGIS\Scratch). My issue is that when creating a web app with a Geoprocessing Widget that uses the script published as a service, I don't know where the output goes.  It runs successfully, but the output remains out of reach.  The Public Notification application opens a new browser tab with the PDF mailing label output - I would like to have the same behavior with my custom script but am not sure how to set this up.   The output_file variable is actually part of a list so that the script can loop through to generate the owner and NHA pdf's as separate files, but it is currently coded as follows:    labellst = [[arcpy.GetParameterAsText(5).replace("\\",os.sep)+"owners.pdf","parc"],                    [arcpy.GetParameterAsText(5).replace("\\",os.sep)+"nha.pdf","neigh"]]   The script has the output file as a derived 'output' parameter of type 'file'.

Working in AGOL WAB with the query widget - excellent tool.  However we're working on having 1 relatively large query available for users, so I'm wondering if you can have more than 1 spatial filter configured per query with the OTB version of this widget.  For example look at properties that are (sp. filter 1) within X distance of a railroad line and (sp. filter 2) with Commercial zoned areas. I understand there are work arounds, but we want this to be REALLY simple for the user - not having to turn on any layers or anything, or run multiple queries. Thanks -  Allen ... View more
