I know the GUIDs. However, that does not sound like this is something I can build into to installation routine of the new Add-In. I am looking for some functionality similar to dependencies of one Add-In to another Add-In, or using the DAML to remove buttons in the UI... just to delete a whole Add-In.

‎09-15-2022

I would like to know if I can use DAML to check if a specific Add-In exists in AGP if it does exist, if there is the possibility to delete it I wrote an Add-In that is replacing two earlier Add-Ins I wrote and I would like to delete the two earlier Add-Ins on a customers AGP if they are installed. Is that possible during the installation process of the new Add-In?

Thanks for your reply @Wolf ! My AGP installation is at the default path, but I have to admit, I do not know where Visual Studio is installing the ArcGIS Pro SDK for .Net to. That would be version 3.0.0.3656 All assembly references go to the AGP bin directory or sub-directories of it and I was able to verify the existence of each dll file within the corresponding path. The paths in the project file match the ones shown in the assembly references, and are correct. The only thing that I found in the project file was that the reference to ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources was there twice. I tried to add the gallery directly into the project, and the project goes by the name 'PublicData', whereas the name for the gallery was set to 'DataforsyningenGallery.cs', but also the default name of 'Gallery1.cs' fails with the same error. After migrating the project to 3.0 I was, and still are able to build the project. But it seems as if I cannot add ArcGIS items to it anymore. Finally, I created a new solution + project, and here I have no problems adding ArcGIS items to the project. So the issue is rather within the project then the general setup of the machine.

Using the ArcGIS Data Interoperability Workbench offers you all the possibilities you find in FME Workbench to define user parameters. The 'Choice' parameter type allows you to define a dropdown list where you define values and there aliases, called 'Display' in FME. When executing the workspace in FME the user is presented a dropdown list showing all the display items to select from. Behind the scenes, FME is using the value of the selected display item. While ArcGIS Pro does understand the choice list parameter during the 'Share As Web Tool' procedure, the resulting web tool does not show any of the display items anymore, but only the behind laying values, and thereby removing the meaning of the items in the context of the user. I think for everybody who has a good user experience in mind, and is using the 'Choice' dropdown user parameter, it will be very helpful when the resulting dropdown box in the geoprocessing tool is able to handle both, the value and its display.

Thanks @rsalvaleon_esri for your reply! I will have a look at the ideas and suggest it there. With regards to the default values, the dialog you are referring to is part of FME and looks like this at my workspace: As you can see, the default value is not set. Yet, the properties of the published tool look like this: The reason for it is, that publishing a tool requires (to my knowledge) a successful run of the tool within ArcGIS Pro, from where the user opens the Geoprocessing History, opens the context menu of the successful run and selects 'Share As' -> 'Share Web Tool': Since, I have to choose values for the required user parameters, the selected values from the successful run of the tool are kept as default values when publishing the tool to the portal. Also in the 'Share As Web Tool ' pane I did not find any possibility to purge the values used in the successful run. If there is another way of publishing / sharing the ETL tool as a web tool then I am looking forward to learn more about it.

I want to add an ArcGIS Pro Gallery to my project, but after naming it only a cs file is created, but no template xaml file, and the gallery isn't reflected in the config daml file either. I also checked and it is not only the gallery, it is any item from the ArcGIS Pro Add-ins group. Instead I receive this error message In addition I got this error message when trying to add ArcGIS Pro DAML IDs How can I get full functionality back in my project? I am using Visual Studio in version 17.3.3 with ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET version 3.0.0.3656. The project was migrated from an 2.9 project.

Hi @BruceHarold, thanks for the link, and yes that's the approach I am using before hand for the scripted parameters in this workbench. Also thanks for the guide about my arcpy issue. I will check with our administrators to adjust the settings on the server side. Do you, by any chance, have a suggestion on how to get a proper choice list in the ETL tool, once it is published to the portal? I I wrote, the 'aliases' are gone and the pure values are shown instead, rendering it impossible for the user to know what they actually selecting.

Hi, and welcome! Those that are good with ModelBuilder will most likely have an answer on how to do these things in ModelBuilder, but I would suggest you give Python a try. All the things you can do in ModelBuilder you can do as well in Python, and so much more. Adding a jupyter notebook to your project is so easy, and especially for learning and testing purposes it is simply awesome. To add a notebook you go Insert -> [Project group] -> New Notebook. Keeping control over things in a script is much easier than dealing with ModelBuilder, and as soon as you need to have more than one iteration within your model you are doomed, or you go the inception way and create models in models, because there can be only one iterator in one model... Best of luck

Scripted user parameter (Python) · ‎09-02-2022

I created an ETL tool, that works fine locally, but after publishing it to our portal my scripted user parameters do not work. The reason for it: INFORM: Python version 3.8 loaded successfully ERROR : Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'arcpy' My scripted user parameters are essentially in place to create and write the output of the tool into scratch workspaces. While I am working for several years now with FME, this is my first time creating and publishing an ETL tool. Hence, I am not so familiar with possible automatic path adjustments when publishing tools. Question 1: So, could it be that I can simply keep the writers destination as an absolute (local) path and when publishing it to our portal the destination path will be pointed to a scratch location? Question 2: How can it be that I publish something to an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal and that portal is not aware of a module called 'arcpy'?

I just made a post in the ArcGIS Enterprise Portal questions concerning choice lists in ETL tools and how they are interpreted after they are published. Maybe a reader her knows an answer to my questions.: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/publishing-etl-tools-with-choice-list/m-p/1209054#M12596

I am trying to publish an ETL tool to our portal and publishing itself goes okay. However, the choice lists that I have as input parameters are shown during the preparation to publish with 'display' strings, while the default value is reflected as the behind laying integer value. Once the tool is published, there are no 'display' strings anymore to choose from, only the behind laying integer values are shown, making it impossible for the user to select the right value. Question 1: How do I get a proper choice list, where the display names are shown to select from while the corresponding value is used for further analysis? Question 2: Using a successful local run of the tool to publish is automatically setting default values for the user input. How can I get the choice list not showing a default value after publishing_

I was wondering if there is a possibility to add xyz layers (TMS) as a service to a portals content. Currently I am only aware of the possibility to add such data to a map as tile layer. But I would actually like to provide these data as a service through our portal. In connection to the tile layer in an existing map on our portal (10.9) I am missing the possibility to credit the source of the data. Current properties of these layers contain: symbology, appearance, visible range, and refresh interval.

I am trying to create a symbology like the one in this screenshot I created a dash symbology for the line as solid stroke with an dash template of 9 10, and copied this layer. To the new solid stroke layer I added the rotation effect (90º), and altered the dash template to 4 10. Then I adjusted the 'At line ends' option to: Half pattern. The result: How can I get the tick placed in the center of each dash? I was playing with the 'At line ends' option and the 'Dash template' option, to no avail.

Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately, 'Register with Geodatabase' is returning the same error message. Essentially it is not capable to convert the OID into a 32-bit integer. I do understand that it cannot convert that number, but I do not understand where the number is coming from.

‎08-17-2022

Certainly a bummer when you are aware about the possibility to add file extensions that way, and then you figure out there is no way to do it in AGP.
