This is interesting - I think I now see why things may be broken - in my reply to myself I mention unticking fully qualified field names.  I don't have to, just make a SINGLE change before changing data source.  This is what I *think* is happening. I have a layer, let's call it Planning  it is from an Oracle Enterprise database.  It is related to a Oracle view to get more data (I'm not 100% sure, but my issue may only be an issue when layer has a join)  The MXD was set up a few years ago, most fields unticked, most given aliases. Over time the suppliers have added new fields to the related table/view. ArcMap's normal behaviour is to default these new fields 'on' when you look at the fields tab, but I think, until that point, the mxd has no record of them. Changing ANY field records the new full field list. Changing a datasource will check the schema of the new source against what is recorded.  If it is the same, it takes the field selections and aliases. If it is different it will reset them. So by making a change in the filed list before a datasource change makes the selections/aliases stay put. That makes sense to me. Still no use when you move the datasource and no longer have it in place, so important to do before you move data Does that make sense?   ... View more

PS - work flow (mainly so I remember to morrow) Remove fully qualified fields from tick list - so those with schema.table.name apply change source Move to fields tab - IMPORTANT Apply ... View more

So... that has got me wondering if it was these fields that was breaking the ArCat way - I will investigate tomorrow ... View more

Many thanks for mega speedy reply, but I have tried the ArcCat way without much (any) luck In the last few minutes I have been able to change the source on a PC that points to the old data (so layer still works)  to a new connection, with the uppercase password (old sever took both lower and upper)  I can now paste that layer to a server in the new world - but still layer by layer. The issue I think that stopped this working before was there were some fields ticked on on the old layer that didn't match EXACTLY in the new database (slight schema change) so ArcMap just zapped everything     ...

I read it differently  Upgrade to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 or later, as risk is mitigated with these versions – We recommend updating to the latest version of 10.9.1 for the strongest security posture. so version 10.8 and above "mitigate" and of course 10,9 will always be best ... View more

the blog says "mitigated" with 10.9 - "to make (something) less severe, harmful, or painful. " ... View more

looking at my servers, some have log4j 2.x, some don't - I realize it is still early on this, but an exact matrix of what does and doens't have this would be really useful.   ... View more

Hi -was it your AGS server or SQL server that needed the updates?  Or is it the same box? ... View more

Thanks for that - in the end I went about it totally differently. I have all the results of the ID task appear in a table - one table per layer - just like they used to in ArcIMS At the end of each row (feature) I now have a button - this button takes the OBJECTID of that feature and the feature number and applies a filter to that layer. So the result is exactly what the users want - in those areas where there a 100s of features, they can ID the one they want, hit the button, and only that one is left - they then can print out just that one feature, without the others messing with the map. Another button clears all these Isolations The only pre-req is the existence of OBJECTID - which isn't a given - so much of our data are from other Esrti sites, that when they are imported the old OBJECTID is ignored and a new OBJECTID_1 is set up.  But that can be resolved. ...

Cheers - one for a day when I've not much on.  My ID task already has the ability to take the geometry and create a simply highlighted feature to help the users pick out a feature where there are scores overlapping, but we want that added graphic to have similar styling to the layer, so by switching the layer off you get left with just the single added graphic for the required feature.  Mainly for printout reasons ...

OK - old topic, but doe the same apply for the idtask ?  Symbolgy isn't returned, just the geometry?  has anything changed over the years? ... View more

I have had this from Esri(UK)  - so I guess I've got to go back to 3.13 for my main site - In no way have I the time or skills to get to 4.x  ☹️ BUG-000103128 : Measurement widget's 'measure' event shows incorrect behavior when using a non-mercator projection the development team had already looked at it as closed it as a known issue and would not be addressing in 3.x ...

To me it looks like the "measure" event is broken when the Projection of the map isn't a standard one, as that is the only thing that is different and as can be seen from the console.log on those examples, very different results show. Any thoughts? ... View more
