Have a simple GEV Service that sends an email - input FC > Spatial Filter w/ Geofence > Email. All works well, with the only hitch being that it sends an email every few seconds, and we really only need the initial email. Not able to figure out if/where you can modify a component of the service to limit it to one email.  I've also gotten this to work with an Incident Detector w/ Geofence, but had the same issue w/ multiple emails being sent.

Having an issue getting fields from GeoEvent to show up in the body of an email.   Message format is html, and I can use HTML language to format any text I want to include without issue, but any field references do not carry over to the body. I've tried {FIELD_NAME} and ${FIELD_NAME} and it returns nothing.  The Geoevent service in question is quite simple - poll ArcGIS Server for Features > Incident Detector w/ geofence, then send email if point shows up in the geofence.   The behavior seems like the Send an Email output connector cannot read the fields from the input Geoevent Definition, but I can't see where to add a definition to the output connector for send an email. Using Server/GEP 10.5 Thanks -  Allen ... View more

We have a pretty straightforward app with the new My Government Services app - basically a web appbuilder app with the NearMe widget configured.  We actually have 2 nearly identical apps configured this way - and one of them will draw all of the layers.  The problem is that the layers are not on in the webmap, and we don't actually want or need them to draw.   The other nearly identical application doesn't exhibit this behavior.  the only difference is that the app that is working correctly only has polygon layers, whereas the 'broken' one has a mix of point and polygon layers. The second really odd part is that initially the point features draw when you zoom in close enough for the scale dependency to kick in, but when you click a point on the map, there is an error saying all of the point features cannot be drawn.   I'm baffled here since we have another app that doesn't exhibit this behavior.  Curious if anyone else has seen this issue. ...

I'm dipping my toes into the Custom widget waters, so apologies for the amateur question.  Basically we have deployed an app configured in Web Appbuilder (via AGOL) onto one of our application servers (development environment).  I want to add a simple widget that toggles from basemap to aerials.  I've found the relevant code in the Javascript API (ArcGIS API for JavaScript Sandbox). My plan is to use this code and work it into a version of the CustomWidgetTemplate files from Web AppBuilder Developers edition (from the stmapp/widgets directory) and then add a reference to it in the config.js file for the app (putting the new widget code in the correct spot in the app's widgets folder).  First - is this a valid way to go? Second, if so, then how to reconcile the very basic code from the API into the CustomWidgetTemplate widget.js file?   the toggle widget code is: var map; require([ "esri/map", "esri/dijit/BasemapToggle", "dojo/domReady!" ], function( Map, BasemapToggle ) { map = new Map("map", { center: [-70.6508, 43.1452], zoom: 16, basemap: "topo" }); var toggle = new BasemapToggle({ map: map, basemap: "satellite" }, "BasemapToggle"); toggle.startup(); }); So I'm not sure what part of this is relevant and needed to put into the widget.js file for my new custom widget. I know there are ways around this that don't involve a custom widget but would like to learn how to be able to do this process. Thanks -  Allen ... View more

We have an app up using My Government Services and are seeing some odd behavior with one of our links.  In one of our operation layers, we have a link set up that is essentially just referencing a URL field in a feature class.  Those URLs are valid and correctly formatted (https://wwww.myorg.com/...).  However when clicking on the link via the application, it fails, with different results depending on the browser being used.   In Chrome, the link that opens in a new tab is "https//www.myorg.com/..." - essentially omitting the needed colon after 'https' In Firefox, it's weirder - the link that it tries to go to is "www.https.com//www.myorg.com/..." In IE 11, the link shows as "http://https//www.myorg.com/..." So the application and/or browsers are attempting to add or modify the URL, which doesn't need to happen. Here's the link code for the particular operational layer in question - hasn't been modified recently, and the URL field values haven't changed.  I'm stumped. Links: [{ DisplayText: "Website", FieldName: "URL", type: "web" ... View more

We are unfortunately stuck on SQL Server 2008 for our SDE databases for a few more months.  I know that Desktop starting at 10.4 doesn't support this version of SQL Server.  However we are interested in upgrading our Portal site to 10.5 (w/ corresponding federated Server).  We're already at 10.4.1 for Portal and have no issues consuming services (from a 10.4.1 ArcServer) that are ultimately coming from 2008 SQL Server databases.   I'm hoping for a little clarification about whether going to 10.5 Portal+Server will result in any issues relating to the support deprecation of SQL Server 2008.

We've had to redo the web adaptor configuration for our Portal site (the server also has ArcServer installed which is the federated and hosting server for Portal - kids, don't configure the same web adaptor for Portal and Server even if it lets you.  Lesson learned).  We had to install a new web adaptor (called portal) for the Portal site - using AGO Assistant we were able to re-wire existing apps with the correct URL reflecting the new web adaptor.  However we are still encountering a problem -  When trying to access layers published through the federated server (My Hosted Services server connection directly adding items into Portal) they don't render ("Layer cannot be added to the map"), and there's a 500 error. The URL that is not valid is:  <servername/domain>/arcgis/sharing/generateToken......   So this url is referencing the old Portal web adaptor.  When I change the url to reference the new web adaptor, it's valid and generates a token.    So what I'm wondering is if there is somewhere in the Portal configuration to change this URL to reflect the new web adaptor.  I've dug around in the ../portaladmin options but with no luck.
