Shannon - I am running 10.7.1 Enterprise Portal and occasionally for no apparent reason, one or two of my thumbnails will be defaulted to the map icon instead of the assigned application's icon.  These are simple icons created in Paint and saved on the same server as the Portal instance.  Could this problem be related to the original question here?

Jake Skinner - Thanks for this documentation.  I have everything working except when I attempt to send to multiple recipients, only the first recipient (myself) is the only one to actually receive the email.  However, when the email comes into my outlook inbox, the email is showing the other recipients should have received the email (but they didn't). My script uses the format below in the toEmail: toEmail = 'xxxx@xxxxx.com; xxxxx@xxxx.com'   # Email receiver(s) Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. ... View more

Adrian, We have a huge base of CAD Microstation drawings that we use in GIS after converting with the esri CADtoGeodatabase tool.  Modifying each drawing format to add Tags would be a lot of work.  Annotation is the only problem we seem to be having and it is related to the unpredictability of the Coded value assignments under subtypes for the Annotation.  The coded value assignment really needs to honor the level structure of the original CAD drawing to make the data usable for merges, appends, etc without corrupting the data. For example:  One CAD Drawing for a system may have three levels used as DGN#1 has Level11, Level1, and Level3.  A second drawing with very similar info DGN#2 uses only Level11, and Level3 (Omitting Level1).  After using CADtoGeodatabase to convert the two DGNs to GDB:   (GDB)DGN#1 Annotation Assigns Coded values 0,1, and 2 for Level11, Level1, and Level3 respectively.   (GDB)DGN#2 Annotation Assigns Coded values 0 and 1 for Level11, and Level3 respectively. The Problem: Subsequent merges are based on Subtype Coded Values.  Problem Description: Merging converted data from (GDB)DGN#2 into (GDB)DGN#1 results in (GDB)DGN#1 Level1    having (GDB)DGN#2's Level3  data being merged into (GDB)DGN#1's Level1 (All Coded Value1).  This data    scrambling causes improperly displayed data in the original (GDB)DGN#1 Map Annotation Layers.  Problem Summary: Level3 Data has been merged into Level1 because they are merged based on coded values. I also suspect that this problem can occur with CADtoGeodatabase conversions of the same file with only a different version or date stamp.  I have not been able to confirm this but I have seen some strange behavior like this that makes me believe the subtype coded value assignments are totally (or nearly) random from conversion to conversion. Not sure if this link will work for you or not but here is my link to the bug.  https://my.esri.com/#/support/bugs/BUG-000113627 ... View more

Jay, Isn't CADtoGDB a Model only function that is not available as a stand alone python script?  I am calling my model from within the python script.  Are you doing the same? Thanks David ... View more

Thanks for the response.  We have been doing the conversions for quite some time and just beginning to identify problems when merging data from very similar CAD files.  The problems do seem to originate from CAD files with an extra layer used which seems to cause re-aligning of the coded values.  Then merges/appends seem to be based on coded values. ...

Thanks for the reply Adrian. For a hypothetical example: Master DGN contains Annotation (and Polylines) levels 3 and 8 Incoming DGN contains Annotation (and Polylines) levels 1, 3, 8, and 11 Both will be converted to Geodatabases called MasterGeoCAD and IncomingGeoCAD respectively.   I need to be able to reliably merge data from IncomingGeoCAD Levels 3 and 8 (I assume: Most likely assigned Coded Values 1 and 2) into MasterGeoCAD levels 3 and 8 (I assume: Most likely assigned Coded Values 0 and 1 respectively).  I think this would INCORRECTLY cause Coded Value 1/Level 3 IncomingGeoCAD data to be assigned to Coded Value 1/Level 8 in the MasterGeoCAD; assuming the values would be merged based on coded values.   *****Does the CAD to GDB tool have the ability to assign Coded value 3 to Level 3, Coded Value 11 to Level 11, etc?  If so, this would be great!  *****   ...

We need a way in WebApp Builder - WAB to simply modify an existing WebApp Builder Widget to make it custom. For example a way to add my default rest endpoints and/or pre-configure a widget for internal use in Portal without having to reconfigure the widget over and over again for each application. It would be really nice to be able to have a button to save widget configurations to Default; of course another button would be needed to reset the widget to factory defaults.  "Save Widget As Configured" to new widgetXXXXX would be great! ...
