Is this still valid for the version 2 Open Data Portal? ... View more

I would like the ability to open Pro and do something without having to create a project/toolbox/gdb/folder. Although I can set a default for those last items, there are times when I want a project/folder etc and plenty of times when I don't. And having a local default database runs the risk of user data being unavailable to others. ... View more

Follow up to this.  I was able to replicate this behavior with a main WAB developer at the DevSummit. His thinking is that there seems to be a bug in the node.js in WAB. It only seems to affect Win 7. Running the WAB as a service solves the issue as the node version is different.  A new WAB is due out soon, hopefully it will correct this issue.  ... View more

Thanks Robert, I was really hoping this would solve it but I still have the same issue. The WAB crashes. I have a support call open, so will see if it can be resolved through that. The browser reports a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED ... View more

My understanding is that existing concurrent licenses will be honored going forward, but that Esri will not be offering them as a new license after a certain time. Source: Recent Esri partner presentation. ... View more

I can't see how acknowledging the existence of an address would constitute an invasion of privacy. Allowed uses of addresses is a different matter.  ... View more

I am assuming you have an AGOL organization account with a spare user seat available.  Create a user in your organizational account and give them whatever permissions you like, eg reatrict them to just the map, limit edit ability etc, then provide the credentials to your client to access the map. This will keep it private. You may want to create a new role, the default Esri user role may be too permissive for your needs.  You should not give them your administrative user credentials. If you do not have a spare user available, you could set up a proxy that uses your credentials and points at the map, but there is alwaus a chance they could navigate elsewhere.  ... View more

Your user doesn't need their own AGOL account, you can provide them with a username and password from your organizational AGOL account.  ... View more

Can you explain this a bit further? It seems that if you want to provide/publish a webmap to a specific user, you can add them as a user and give only them access to it.  ... View more

There are also third party tools like ETGeowizards and Xtools that have this sort of functionality. ... View more

Your model will work against different geodatabases if you make a variable for the database and reference that throughout using %variable% notation. This assumes that input datasets etc will be the same in each case. To avoid overwriting data, use the gdb variable throughout (assuming you want to write to the same gdb as the input). Once you export the model as a script you can just run the script directly, ie make your changes and go. You may need to add "import arcpy" at the top of the exported script. ... View more
