The ability to download an ArcGIS Enterprise hosted feature service registered in ArcGIS Online as a file geodatabase was only recently removed from our ArcGIS Hub site after a recent update to ArcGIS Online (Sept/Oct 2024). Why would Esri remove functionality in ArcGIS Online from data hosted in ArcGIS Enterprise? It makes no sense. Are these not both Esri products that should be compatible? I mean, we are all Esri family here. How does it benefit the customer to remove this download option? We maintain our data in versioned Enterprise Geodatabases. Please bring back this option for your loyal ArcGIS Enterprise users.

In ArcGIS Pro when creating a new point, you can choose the option to create a point at the end of a line and use Direction and Distance. One of the options for direction is Quadrant Bearing (QB). This option is perfect for mapping locations based on a surveyed location for water right permits. Unfortunately, the quadrant bearing option is not available on the Distance and Direction widget in ArcGIS Online. Why? It is a pain to convert quadrant bearing to azimuth direction. We would like to develop a web map to check permit maps as they are initially reviewed by non-GIS personnel. Asking them to convert quadrant bearing to azimuth in a spreadsheet and then enter it into the web map is far from ideal. We would love to have a quadrant bearing option on the Distance and Direction widget in ArcGIS Online!

I agree with Joe. Even though you can join directly to an Excel sheet, I find it causes more unexpected errors. As someone that does tech support, this is a common problem that our GIS users see. Import excel to table first, then join.

This happened to me this morning. I was creating a mobile map package and the application froze. Then the whole computer froze. I couldn't even open the Task Manager. I had to force a shut down on my computer. Now that project file is corrupted. I can open other project files, but not the one I was working on. It says that the version I'm trying to open is higher than my current version. But I'm at the highest version now and was this morning when I was working in it. This is really frustrating as I lost work. The data is fine, but the layer setup/symbology/labels etc will all need to be setup again. Arg!!!

Just to follow up.....to see the version manager without editing, right click on the SDE connection (with data owner or admin rights) and select Versions. That's it.

We also need this functionality. To map permit areas for water rights, we sometimes need to georeference a map that is on the second of third page of a scanned tif. I understand that I can use the extract subdataset tool to copy out the single tif, but this creates additional tifs that need to be stored and managed on our shared directories. It would be better for file management if we did not have to create additional tifs for georeferencing. Selecting a single page of a tif to display was available in ArcMap. It would be helpful to have this same functionality in ArcGIS Pro.

ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1 I need to publish a dynamic layer to ArcGIS Server that resides in a flat SQL Server database (not a geodatabase). This is a legacy database that's been around for more than 20 years. Upgrading it to a geodatabase is not an option currently as there are many integrated legacy systems that depend on it. I'm wondering which option would perform better: adding the table as an XY Event layer or making a query layer. Are these the same thing or are there characteristics that make one better than the other? I know its not optimal to publish a query layer as a map service, but we need to keep the information dynamic to the database more than we need it to display quickly. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Right click on the file and select Properties. On the General tab next to "Opens with", click the Change button. Select or Browse to the application executable that you want the file to automatically open to.

In case anyone has a problem removing a broken database connection that has been added to New Projects and keeps showing up when you create a new project (even though it is broken), this is how you permanently remove it. Open Windows Explorer to this location C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Esri\ArcGISPro\Favorites. Remove the *.json file. This will remove an orphan SDE connection that refuses to go away. You will have to add back any SDE connections that you want to keep in Favorites.

Joe, Did you find the cause of the slow performance for managing versioned data (through a registered service) in Portal? We are working on the same thing and have encountered several errors.

You need HPMS speed limit data. Check out the New York Dept of Transportation GIS site. NYS GIS Clearinghouse - NYS GIS Program Office - NYS Streets It looks like the NYS Streets dataset is what you need.

The giant room for the Plenary session on Monday is freezing cold. Bring a jacket! I told this to my colleagues last year and they were thankful for the warning. Wear comfortable shoes. There's never enough time to see all the workshops/sessions you want. If pressed for time, get your lunch ahead of time at the Ralphs (1st and G st).

We have this issue all the time with ArcGIS Server....although we are at a lower version 10.2. We have two solutions: 1) restart the ArcGIS Server service on the hosting service. 2) If #1 doesn't work, restart the server. This works 95% of the time, but I don't know why. One time we had an odd event where the Systems folder in ArcGIS Server was locked down. Not sure how that happened, but once we unlocked it, we could publish services again.

Yes, that's the one, but you can only access it if you fake like you are editing. I'm an administrator for an enterprise geodatabase and need to delete orphan versions before a full compression. In ArcGIS Desktop, I could do this. ArcGIS Pro does not provide the ability for me to manage other user's versions even if I connect to the enterprise geodatabase as the SDE user.

As a geodatabase administrator, how do I access the version manager in ArcGIS Pro in order to delete a version that has been abandoned by the user (they no longer work here)? I have reviewed this document Versioning in ArcGIS Pro—Geodatabases | ArcGIS Desktop and not found it helpful for my needs. If I'm not editing a version, how can I access it to delete it? In ArcMap, I could right click on the SDE Database connection as the administrator and delete any version. How do I do that in ArcGIS Pro? I'm on version 1.3.
