Dan, from Joel (who can't post do to login issues...): Becky, per Dan Pattersons' s request to test the GPX tool, could you pass Dan the IRMA link with doc, and the product.   We could always use tests from a skookum person like Dan.     I take no credit for the tool - entirely Regan.   https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Profile/2203303   I still can't resolve my capacity to login to GeoNet.  For now, you could pass this to dan....   thanks. ...

I haven't tried 2.7 yet, but I sometimes get that and just have to close the cmd window and start it up again.  The first time it seems to fire up the service.  There are othr ways to set up nodejs so you wont have to do it 2x.  Check out some of my blogs for other tips, if you haven't already ... main one  /blogs/myAlaskaGIS/2016/03/09/web-appbuilder-developer-edition-customization-resource-list?sr=search&searchId=016e9c3d-8e84-43b0-a7f7-74b795d8aad5&searchIndex=0‌ and there are links to the others. ...

I agree with Jake, it does not cause any issues (or didn't for us in the past).  However, our network services installed our new 10.5.1 install and created a new domain service account for each server software and assigned a different PSA account for each. I think it will work, but also will make things a bit more difficult since it is a lot more accounts and passwords to remember, and I don't think it gains anything (especially the internal software PSA accounts). Also, my custom tools that make connections and tokens behind the scenes will take more work (i.e. need to figure out how to fix if they don't give me the PSA passwords...and I don't want to hardcode my user/pass, etc into my settings file).  Still working on this.  (I just was handed the machines yesterday afternoon, fwiw). My opinion. ... View more

Hi Kamyaka Kasani , It looks like you are opening several thread that are related to the same issue?  It is better to only post one, and if you have more information to help the original post, you can edit you post to add it (you can even change the title...but only if it help clarify...otherwise is can be confusing). There are tips on posting https://community.esri.com/community/help-and-feedback/blog/2016/08/15/community-news-and-tips-how-to-ask-questions-and-get-answers?sr=search&searchId=55610eae-6c40-4925-9242-d5f4c4853a33&searchIndex=7‌  and any code can be posted using https://community.esri.com/people/curtvprice/blog/2014/09/25/posting-code-blocks-in-the-new-geonet?sr=search&searchId=dd5239d4-49ff-4661-80b7-babe88e70b5e&searchIndex=6‌   This help every one know if spacing is correct (critical for Python) and be able to refer to the same line number.  (see Xander Bakker‌ code blocks vs your code blocks) Just for reference, I think the other related posts are: The requested operation is invalid on a closed state   (#748417) The requested operation is invalid on a closed state     (#748418) The requested operation is invalid on a closed state      (#748387) and this one which is post #748389 Having the relative responses in one post with ovoid duplication and will help others find a solution in the future.  If there are no responses to some of the other posts, you can actually delete them...but only do so if there is no information, or if it is already included in another post.  Thanks ...

Glad you got it to work.  I do the same type of thing to get Workstation to run on a new machine.  I set about 5 system variables and it can then use the concurrent use license.  Although I have a script, I'll include the relevant lines here for anyone that might be interested.  (assumes software is in c:\arcgis folder setx  path "%path%;c:\arcgis\arcexe10x\bin" SET ARCHOME=C:\ArcGIS\arcexe10x SET ARCHOME_USER=C:\ArcGIS\arcexe10x SET ARCINFOFONTNAME=Courier New SET ARCINFOFONTSIZE=8 SET ATHOME=C:\ArcGIS\arcexe10x\arctools run in a DOS/cmd window.  Use at your own risk.  Adjust paths as needed for your own install. ...

lol, Yes, I guess we can let a Canadian in.  Thanks for the info Dan.  I haven't had any issues with my python paths either (yet) although I've done multiple upgrades for Desktop and Pro, have Juputer notebook, use Wing Pro (mainly) etc., but thought I'd ask you anyway.  I figured you would know. ...

I'm going to post what Joel sent via email (since he cant post here), assuming it is ok (I'll check with).. It might help others. ..., I would suggest to use our GPX plugin. https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Profile/2203303  Written by Regan. Its much better than the ESRI tool.   Like to have more folks test it out on 10.5.     Do note, all this GPX work is all in WGS84.  If you have a Garmin, the recommended tool in my mind remains DRNGPS - hands down for its DATUM capacity and versatility.   Joel ...

try a repair before reinstall.  If you have anything with Conda, etc, ...or messed with Pro or the Python API on that machine, could have caused path issues.  But I'll loop in Dan_Patterson‌ who knows more about all that stuff...just in case. ... View more

Have you hovered over the red X to see if it gives you and error message. My initial guess is you either 1) just need to browse to the gpx file, or maybe you need to add it to the TOC to have it see it. My other thought is the versions are not compatible.  Is this an out of the box script or a custom?  <answered that myself...yes it is>  I know that is I open one of my custom tools in 10.5 and just look at the parameters, I can no longer see it in 10.3.1.  It autoupdates. edit:  Michael Knapp   I've tested it on a new ArcMap 10.3.1 and 10.6 (sorry, not 10.4.x) and did not have the red X.  Any chance you have a non-compatible Office product?  I don't know that that would explain the .gpx, but might explain the Excel issue.  There are several threads that include the compatibility patch from MS that fixes the later...depending on the office version.  Just something to check. Edit2:  and you can also open/edit the script....which means you could try to run parts manually to see if you can find the issue...but you probably already know that.  ... View more

And make sure you are specifying Path to the workspace to edit. Editor can edit only one workspace at a time and not the FC. That sometimes is something that is overlooked.  As Xander pointed out, check out the samples. ... View more

Does your organization use a License Manager with concurrent use licenses?  The 9.3.1 version should still be supported, but you will need to point the correct license manager, just as you would with newer versions.  I'm assuming the 9.3.1 is a Desktop (ArcMap/ArcCatalog) and not ArcINFO Workstation (program owuld probably be a .aml type?  If Workstation, you will need to set a few system variables to get it to work....but it will work, even on Windows 7 (haven't tried Win10) if you have a valid concurrent license. ...

Are the upgraded desktop connecting without problem to your server? (I have admin and publisher connection from my desktop 10.5.1 to  another server 10.2 but I have never used them for managing or publishing service, I use another desktop 10.2.2 for that). I can probably answer this better in a few days.  Just waiting for our servers to be release to us (GIS) from IT. Are you thinking to upgrade to 10.5.1 because you are waiting for 10.6.1? Partially.  But also, it's taken so long for us to get to this stage with IT taking over what I used to do, (and with our servers being moved to another location, AND testing the remote connections to find a stable environment for editing our master SDE databases), that I just don't want to throw another wrench in the machine.  Just need to get moved.  The 10.6.x issue will be after we are once again stable. ...

I can answer some of this from my experience, but we are facing similar upgrades here too. Another question not related directly to the previous: is an upgrade of  4 versions (AGS from 10.2 to 10.6) advisable? or should I go for a gradual upgrade (considering also LM and Desktop) re: the LM...LM 10.6 supports all the previous versions, so I would start with that and make sure all your current Desktop clients are still working.  The newer Desktop install will detect older version and uninstall if needed.  We have gone from 10.1 to 10.5 with no issues, but most of our will be upgrading from 10.3.1 when we do it. We are not jumping to 10.6 of the server software yet, mainly because of internal reasons....we are just now moving from 10.2.2 to 10.5.1.  We are doing a clean install, and then using a python script that will help migrate about 80% (guessing) of our services.  The rest we will be doing manually.  (this is after moving all the mxd's and data...and registering, etc.). Keep in mind that there were/are changes between Desktop versions (read the various What's New docs) due to either bug fixes (or new bugs) and/or enhancements.  Also, if you have many custom scripts, there may be tweaks that need to be done.  Test on one machine and give things updated before you deploy to all. Be careful not to open and view parameters for a custom toolbox in 10.5x+ (at least) if you want it to work in 10.2.x again.  It auto updated something that makes it un-view-able in 10.2....so work on a copy. We do not plan to federate because of the taking over the security role from ArcGIS Server.  At some point, with the new Portal level 1 policy, we may reconsider, so this is a very interesting thread.  I know there will be URL changes if we federate, but had not thought about other ramifications if we do it at a later time.  However, I think moving from 10.5.to 10.6 for us will be pretty easy, once we are ready. So, watching this thread with interest. ... View more

Joseph, welcome to the Geonet Community forums.  First, don't get discouraged, but you should move this to the https://community.esri.com/community/developers/gis-developers/python?sr=search&searchId=83795ee7-e01d-4395-9caa-aa12c1990bab&searchIndex=0‌ , since the ArcGIS API for Python is actually a newer product, mainly used for administration portals and for doing some analysis, simple mapping etc. outside of ArcMap/Catalog/Pro.  You can move it using the pulldown under Actions in the upper right corner.  I would have done this for you, but I don't have those rights in this space.  By adding the @ and space name it actually gets tagged.  I'll also add https://community.esri.com/community/gis/mapping?sr=search&searchId=b9b071a9-f5ac-4fac-92ae-c17ef9679487&searchIndex=4‌  Also, always good to post code using one of the options /blogs/dan_patterson/2016/08/14/script-formatting?sr=search&searchId=1753a87a-9033-4500-afb8-f4155c08ef32&searchIndex=4‌  That way, the pesky spaces etc of python don't cause issues and there are line numbers to help with feedback. Also, tech support doesn't necessarily follow the forums.  It will be other users (and yes, their are serious developers that are active in the forums).   Again, don't get discouraged on using the forums.  Very active these days.   ...
