yep - we're getting the 'but it already checked out' warning - plus a few crashes - we've just gone live with Pro generated services so they are defaulting into the Shared Pool - whilst I get the theory, I;m not sure of it in practice A question: The Shared pool seems to have an Idle Time out defaulting (and unchangeable) to 30 minutes - if no hits are made to any of the services in the Shared Pool in that time does the whole pool go to sleep and therefore takes a long time to restart properly when a request is made? ...

indeed - another step backwards for the (still IMHO pre-beta) software that is ArcGIS Pro. I do wonder how these decisions to remove features are made - old desktop had the perfectly good "Repair" option that, well , did the job, but that is now gone. ... View more

I think esri's answer will be along the lines of this chunk from Hitchher's Guide to the Galaxy Mr. Prosser said, “You were quite entitled to make any suggestions or protests at the appropriate time, you know.” “Appropriate time?” hooted Arthur. “Appropriate time? The first I knew about it was when a workman arrived at my home yesterday. I asked him if he’d come to clean the windows and he said no, he’d come to demolish the house. He didn’t tell me straight away of course. Oh no. First he wiped a couple of windows and charged me a fiver. Then he told me.” “But Mr. Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.” “Oh yes, well, as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.” “But the plans were on display . . .” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.’”   ... View more

Out of interest, how can esri justify making the users use keyboard and mouse?  This almost certainly goes against accessibility rules as it requires two hands. Also, how do you get the Id tool to return data from ALL layers in TOC, regardless of state? ... View more

No idea -  I was going to post the same question, but this popped up.  With over 300 layers in a project when I paste one in from a new project it is very hard to work out the next number to add. ... View more

For info this is Esri BUG-000129415  I've workaround the issue in my code with a very simple js function that strips html out of a string. ... View more

Duplicate thread https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/how-to-remove-html-tags-from-metadata-description/td-p/1189922 How can such a 'feature' get added without any option to remove it?  It has broken a key part of my code. It is bad enough that esri are forcing us to the (still) pre-beta ArcGIS Pro - which is going to have a huge cost implication to us as it means upgrading our VM host to have Nvidia GRID cards, as running without GPUs is just impossible.  But also, their decision to stop support of raster cats (that was a week of my time I've lost converting to VRT.  And now I find out about this! ...

So the tags are a bug?  Any fix in sight?  It has broken our Javascript API internal mapping application which builds on the description data a HTML link - so having rogue HTML in the description has just broken things big time. I note that layers imported from ArcGIS MXD are ok as we only noticed it when we added new ones.  I'll be logging an Esri(UK) call so we have visibility of this an know when it is fixed. I would strongly suggest that this topic isn't marked "Solved" as the work around seems to be geared up for the meta data stored with the layer, not added in the Project. ... View more

I must have sorted it, but I honestly can't recall how - I've just taken a look at the webAdapter.config files and cannot see anything obvious.  Sorry ... View more

Oh - and to make this even more annoying this error only happens the FIRST time I make a request to the CustomPrint service - if I try a second time it is fine! ... View more

Plus, if we have to publish mosaics as image services I don't think our js applications would be able to cope, so a massive re-write would be needed,. ... View more

Arrghhhhhhh - we just hit this, it may be a big enough show stopper to cause us to ditch Esri altogether, stay on the versions we have, for as long as we can, and use that time to migrate to something else. Esri don't seem to graps that some of us have image catalogs with 1000s of files.  Maintianing them with catalogs is so easy.  Mosaics just don't add anything ... View more
