For 10.5 my portal licensing only provides two of the five licenses as Level 2 users and the remaining three as Level 1.  I don't know about anyone else but for our testing this is not very useful.  All of the users of our development instance need to be Level 2 users. Does anyone know a way to change how these are provisioned?  I must be missing something because I cannot see how esri would think that a development/test instance could be of full value with only two Level 2 named users ...

Hi, I am seeing issues with the performance in Portal Web Maps or Apps when the referenced service uses versioned data.  I am not sure if there is a setup or configuration that I am missing. If I add a Feature Service to a Web Map that is created from referenced data to a versioned database a few things are observed. The layer will often not draw completely and the "Layer did not draw completely" message is displayed The occurrence of this can be changed by modifying the "Maximum Number of Records Returned by Server" setting The drawing is horrendously slow at times. During a redraw the ArcGIS Service will begin to spawn numerous instances.  I have seen it have as many as 16 running (the max at the time) This is a single WebMap being redrawn which will create this number of instances. When I use a feature classes from an enterprise database that are not versioned (e.g., archive enabled non-versioned data) or use hosted data things work much more as one would expect.  None of the items above present themselves (I still think the draw performance could be better, though). Does anyone know why I am seeing this behavior?  Thanks -Joe ... View more

Hi, I am trying to setup our system to use offline data from a versioned database using ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.  This is my first attempt with 10.5 and the new licensing model.  What my testing reveals is that unless my offline user is assigned Level 2 - Administrator rights the replica version does not get created.  However, a replica does get created and downloaded, there is just no corresponding version.  In this case running a sync will fail (which is to be expected).  To be clear, a user assigned Level 2 - Publisher running a download does not create a version when the replica is created and downloaded.  I really find this strange, I would expect generating the replica to fail if the version did not get created. In the case of the failure the message returned to the SyncGeodatabaseJob object ends with this: Sending request get server sync job status. Received response for get server sync job status. Error while handling get server sync job status. Job error 400 . Job failed. Job error 22 User defined failure. Error while handling get server sync job status. Job error 400 .‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Also of note is that editing does work on the offline database, so no issue is observed until the sync process is run. Software, etc: ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 Datatbase: Version 10.3.1 Runtime: 100.0 - .Net Login:  Uses IWA Client OS: Windows 10 Server OS: Server 2012 Database: Sql Server 2012 Replica setup as per user I believe that the same behavior is occurring in Collector but I am having other download issues in Collector after the 10.5 upgrade so cannot confirm 100%. Obviously, I cannot have the field workforce assigned Level 2 - Administrator rights to our Portal, so this is pretty critical to understand.

I have had this conversation with multiple people on the development team at conferences over the couple years.  Everyone will always assure me that it will be/is possible to register an offline database that uses versioned data.  Because I had only done this on pre-release on beta versions I took their word is being true once the 100.0 version was released. However, after finally getting around to setting and running tests with the release version I will again argue it is not possible.  Whenever I try I get the following error. Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Http.ArcGISWebException: Unable to complete operation. at Esri.ArcGISRuntime.ArcGISException.HandleCoreError(CoreError error, Boolean throwException) at RuntimeCoreNet.GeneratedWrappers.Interop.CheckError(IntPtr errorHandle, Boolean throwOnFailure, GCHandle wrapperHandle) at RuntimeCoreNet.GeneratedWrappers.CoreTask.Get() at Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Internal.CoreTaskExtensions.TaskCompletedCallbackHandler.OnCompleted(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Internal.CoreTaskExtensions.TaskCompletedCallbackHandler.<CreateInternal>d__6.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.GetResult()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The code itself is incredibly simple.  So I am not sure where there would be an error in the code var gdbTask = await GeodatabaseSyncTask.CreateAsync(new Uri("https://portaldev.domin.com/server/rest/services/Operations/UpdatableFeaturesService/FeatureServer"), _portal.Credential); Geodatabase gdb = await Geodatabase.OpenAsync(@"D:\Mobile\Operational\Bidirectional\UpdatableFeaturesService.geodatabase"); await gdbTask.RegisterGeodatabaseAsync(gdb);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Also, looking at the documentation I notice this piece about registering offline databases After taking copies of the original database, do not sync changes to the original until all copies have been registered. Perhaps I am unclear on what that means, but in a large implementation this seems an impossible condition to meet.  We are deploying to over 600 users there is no way you can get every machine setup in advance of some users going out in the field and making edits that need to be synched.

I am trying to open a Mobile Map Package.  When I do I get an error that the file does not exist even though it does. if ( File.Exists(item.MapPackagePath) ) {      Console.WriteLine(item.MapPackagePath);      MobileMapPackage mapPackage = await MobileMapPackage.OpenAsync(item.MapPackagePath);      RuntimeControls.Map = mapPackage.Maps[0]; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The output from the Console.Writeline followed by the error: D:\Mobile\Packages\Gas_Network.mpkx System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File not found: D:\Mobile\Packages\Gas_Network.mpkx ---> Esri.ArcGISRuntime.ArcGISRuntimeException: File not found: D:\Mobile\Packages\Gas_Network.mpkx    at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)    at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)    at Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Mapping.MobileMapPackage.<OpenAsync>d__4.MoveNext()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Anyone know why it does not find a file that obviously exists? ...
