I applied a scale range to a layer within ArcGIS for Desktop. I published this to a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online (using my account which is Admin). I added this layer to a webMap and saved. Decide that I no longer need this scale range in place. Web-map --> Layer --> Set Visibility Range --> Clear Scale levels Save Web Map AND Save Layer, as per the docco Log out and log back in (all of this has been done with my Admin account) - WebMap still has scale level set. How do I override the original scale range?  I would prefer to not have to overwrite the existing service as its possible the original data has been lost/changed schema. The REST endpoint for the hosted feature service still has Min. Scale: 144447.638571969. Is it possible to change this either at the service level, the layer level, or at the web-map level?   The latter two I believe my steps above proove that its not working as expected? ... View more

I have some services that I will be migrating from ArcGIS for Server to hosted Feature services on ArcGIS Online. My web app has some QueryTasks that hit multiple fields in the services, and as a result I have created attribute indexes via ArcGIS for Desktop. I was wondering if these attribute indexes carry across when I publish (and thus my data is copied) to my ArcGIS Online account? ... View more

I have an incoming feed which has a LastSampleTime.  This comes into GEP and by default creates a string field in the GeoEvent Defintion. 1. Incoming Date as a String Field: "25/06/2014 12:45:00" If I alter the LastSampleTime in the GeoEvent Definition to be a date: 2. Incoming Date as a Date Field: '06/25/2014 12:00:00 AM' - It makes all the times to be 12:00:00 AM, which is incorrect as the times vary on the incoming stream.  I have a feature service hosted on ArcGIS Online, and I have the rest of the feed readings updating the relevant fields on this service. As it is ArcGIS Online, I have no control over the underlying DBMS in regards to any settings around date formats. For the date field, if I pass the date as a date (#2 above), then this gets written to the feature fine.  However, unless I can find a way to ensure the time is correct, this is not going to be an option. If I try and pass the date as a string, then it won't work.  This makes sense, as if I try and do an ApplyEdits using the string directly against the REST endpoint, then it fails: Fails: This is using the same date (string) that I am getting off the feed: {     "attributes" : {       "OBJECTID" : 1,       "LastSampleTime" : '25/06/2014 12:45:00'     } } Error: 1000, Description: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string. What does work, is if it convert the date into a different format: Successful: {     "attributes" : {       "OBJECTID" : 1,       "LastSampleTime" : '2014-06-25 12:45:00'     } } = Edits applied ok! I was pondering having a play with a regular expression to try and convert the original date into a date string that works, but sounds like the wrong way to do it.  I dont think there are any function expressions that convert dates into different formats.   Please, some advice on how to go about getting the correct date & timestamp from the incoming feed into GEP would really help me out. ...

I have a web application that has been registered with ArcGIS Online. The web application has been shared to all members of my organisation account. I need to report usage on which ArcGIS Online users are logging into the application. Activity Dashboard does not seem to offer this capability.  ArcGIS Online will show me the total number of views for the web application (although I am not sure if this is true if they hit the application directly as opposed to opening it via the ArcGIS Online item page). Is there a way of reporting on who is logging into my web application without doing any client-side coding such as adding hooks for Google Analytics? For info, the web app was actually created using the Beta WebApp builder. ... View more

I created two separate tile packages within ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.2 These are 15-20GB each.  They use the AGO tiling scale levels. I then used the Share Package tool to upload them to my ArcGIS Online for Organisation Account.  This was using my username and password. After 10 hours for each TPK, the tool finished and reported back messages to say successful. When logging into AGO account in the browser, and going to My Content, I cannot see the Tile Packages. I have searched across the organisation for them, but cannot spot them. Any ideas? ... View more

I will have a GEP service that when a certain incident ocurrs, I will be updating a series of point values in a feature service. After this update has happened, I want to then trigger a GP Service OR a python script to run that will do a basic IDW interpolation upon the updated point values (borehole water depths). What is the best way of triggering for either an ArcGIS Server GP service to fire OR (and more ideally) for a local python script to execute? ... View more

I have an incoming event definition which has a site name.  This is the output from a TCP output connector: Received Event : HITS,210142-US Kewell Ck,30/04/2014 00:15:00,0.672,0.0,á,á,á Received Event : HITS,210137-Wangat,29/04/2014 23:00:00,0.268,18.0,á,15.5,á In my featureclass, I only have a siteID, so for the above two, it would be 210142 and 210137. This is always a 6 digit number. Therefore, I figured this would be a good example of how a field calculator would be able to either Trim the string to just show the first 6 characters Strip the string down to just show numbers (using regex) I decided to go for the second option. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33442[/ATTACH] However, this just returns empty values: Received Event : HITS,,29/04/2014 23:30:00,0.356,13.7,á,á,á Received Event : HITS,,29/04/2014 23:45:00,0.668,42.520,á,á,á I have tried various alternatives to the regex pattern, but it always gives blank values.  Is this because the incoming event is a string and therefore there is no numbers?  So, in priority order: How would you solve this with approach #2 How would you solve it with approach #1 Bonus points for helping me convert those incoming blank values which are coming in from the input feed as \u00a0 and ending up being á.  Not sure what happens when I throw these at a double field in my feature class, might not matter. ...

I am updating the locations of vessels with the ExactEarth connector. This is working fine. I also have another layer in my feature service which is a line layer and I want to generate historical tracks of the vessels as they move around. Sending the events to an 'update features' output connector, and pointing the incoming stream (which is just XY coords for the locations per vessel) does not create tracks (as you would expect). How would I go about achieving this? ... View more

I understand there is a traffic add-on for the ArcGIS for TA bundle, but AFAIK, this is more for real-time traffic and allows a fleet operator to re-route vehicles based upon real time traffic changes occurring. Q1 I believe with this add-on, solving routes will not actually take into account the traffic layer, its more for the operator to manually make changes and update the routes and send out to the drivers? What I am more interested in answering, is how does the Route Planner account for different traffic levels throughout the day. For example, according to Route Planner, if I make the depot my house, and throw one order at one vehicles, that order being my work: At 7am: 17min, 18.69km At 10am: 17min, 18.69km At Noon: 17min, 18.69km I know using the ready to use services in Desktop 10.2, which according to Fiddler looks like its using the same endpoints as Route Planner, there is the option to input time of day.  Q2. Does Route Planner incorporate historical traffic conditions into its routing algorithms out of the box. To deliver an order into Melbourne city at 4 in the morning should be a lot quicker than attempting to deliver an order during peak rush ours. ... View more

For a number of organisations, they will have multiple people in the vehicle. e.g. removals, security trucks, etc AFAIK, the Route Planner will only support a one to one relationship between the vehicle and route. We need to be able to support 2 man and 3 man crews per vehicle, and still retain outputting reports relating to how much labour costs are for each route. How would one go about achieving this, ideally out of the box, or by extending route planner? ... View more

Does Route Planner support specifying min # stops per route? It has maximum, but I want to avoid sending out a vehicle unless it has at least X amount of orders to deliver to. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27771[/ATTACH] ... View more
