Glad to hear you got it working John.  Sometimes all you need is a push past your current thinking.  At least that seems to help me (that is, soon as I write it down and press send.....)​ ... View more

​this is for attribute tables, but may be related.    Can attribute table results be limited to map extent by default? Some me other tips are also included  in this/my blog post Tips (LocalLayer widgets) for more customization and Updating (may help with others too) ... View more

Hi Kristen,  make sure you compare at least a couple of the river data sets to make sure they are equivalent....same name unfortunately doesn't always mean same data....especially if the GIS system has been around for years.  Minor tweaks may have been done in a copy for a particular project ....at least that has been my experience.   But you will have to weigh how much any tweaks may be worth (time to investigate) vs putting the latest and greatest in and dealing with it in the future, if and when you ever need the project again. versions of data....especially when it comes to formats like shape files can be a pain, even if there is one person dealing with it.  Trying to deal with projects others have worked on is a challenge, but in the long run, cleaning up you structure like you are doing is well worth it.​ ...

I Know others have mention the repair geometry ​ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)   and you say it's not available....just out of curiosity, have you tried?  Looks like the help says it's not needed, but at least for the 10.x version attached, I didn't see it not being available.  Still might be worth a try if you haven't. SDE geodatabases automatically check and repair feature geometries when the features are uploaded to the database, so using the Check Geometry and Repair Geometry tools with SDE feature classes is unnecessary. ...

​you may want to look at ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) mmap packages if you are sharing the actual mxd and data. As Dan mentioned, I would recommend file geodatabbases (fgdb) over shape files. They have a big more "smarts" built in. if you have ArcGIS server, you can also think about providing services.  you can use services and create you own web based sites to provide to you engineering firms, especially if you don't want to provide the data itself.  There are many method/options, with ArcGis Online/Portal being a couple, and Web Application Builder developers edition (javascript) being anotheir popular option if you need to customize mire than online will provide. ...

Kristen, I'm working on a set of tools to due just that for our organization and will share once I finish my python addin and figure out how to clearly document it for others to use.  My issue is, not only are we moving from mapped drives to UNC references,  I'm also working on changing all the users profile connections to a common location,  and the trickier part is getting shapes to gdb, coverages to gdb, etc. it'll be a week before I'm back at it, but getting closer. Anyway, I'll be happy to share once I get at least most scenarios covered.  In any case, probably can't do 100%, but with thousands of mxds, and starting with about 4000 unique broken links, if I can simplify 80% for my agency, that is a great saving. bottom line, do planning....and keep a list of original path, new path....and old type and new type if moving shapes etc into fgdb.​     Oh, and I suggest keeping the old structure and creating the new structure.....force a broken-link by renaming the old folder....point to the new.....all before you delete the old structure.   Lots of things can be in play when you take this on.....but with technology and best practices changing over the years, what worked great years ago can be improved just be reorganizing into a more logical structure, especially for those that may not have the history to understand why it was done like that in the past.  My opinion. oh, and I think Frank Garofalo​ is the owner of this group.  He maybe can move it to a better location, if Kristen doesn't. ...

First, to register two machines with the same web app (to be able to install with with teh same WebID) look at Tips and Observations for getting Web AppBuilder - Developer Edition Installed   I talk about having multiple "redirects", i.e. machines. I don't know about a simple way to package and resync (I'll leave others to chime in on the virtues of github and subversion), but I know just copying the directories as a whole, works.  I have used multiple machines to work on the same project....but I don't have a smooth workflow. We have a similar conversation going, but with sharing and collaborating with others, which is another level of complexity to the multiple machines.  Sharing Web AppBuilder apps with multiple users ...

hmmm.  I guess if it's just the one install, I wouldn't think it would/could pay attention to the named-user is my guess??  (are users access in the install thru the same connection/drive/permissions?)  Although, I know that is what is supposed to legally allow a user to use it.  But, as I mentioned, I think really is just during the install. So, have you verified what all the users have r/w access to the appbuilder folders/files, including the \server\apps\# folders and files of you web apps?  Also, have they tried to "import" them.  my guess is that would create a new  server\apps\# but I'm not sure. I did see this "answer" today What's the proper configuration for proxy.config and config.json for a self-hosted Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Web Applica…   That although not directly related, may give some ideas on things to try.  I'm working on other projects right now, and will be semi-offline next week, so haven't had a chance to digest it, but looks like something I will be able to use at some point. ...

I'll assume you know your proxy is set up correctly? Are you using a web adapter, and it is the default "arcgis" or another name.    I get the error is I use arcgis (we have two web adapters, neither is arcgis).  I agree with Jaynata that the word "services" could be left off, but it will add it on after. try    https://<your url>/<webadaptrer>/rest/services You can also connect directly to the server machine (assuming you are within you firewall) http://<your server>:6080/arcgis         notice http.....but you will only get unsecure folders/services https://<yourserver>:6443/arcgis         notice https....you will still only get unsecure folders/services if you don't provide required credetials If, like us, you have to change your password every 60 days or so, I highly recommend you do NOT "save username/password".  If you don't remember to change the password in the connections each time you password changes, it can do nasty things like lock you out (and it's not always easy to track this issue down, if you have a lot of connections.....take it from experience...ugh). Just some of my suggestions. ... View more

Larry, that's kind of the situation I'm in...only need one app ID for me.  I like your workflow though. But I can see multiple editors as something that might happen in the future for us too. Funny about the comment.....which is obviously NOT the case seeing how much custom coding is being done. But my guess is they were talking about the Online version, not the dev version of WAB. ...
