To add to this excellent idea, the workaround that GT_UTCO offers does not work for users who use IWA SAML to authenticate. I cannot use the SignInToPortal function to force a switch of portals because storing the username and password in the script does not work for IWA (using Active Directory credentials to log in). At this point, my only workaround is to use a Notebook for my all-ArcGIS Online script and leave my portal default on our Enterprise Portal for our other scripts. This breaks our organization's governance guidelines because we don't allow individuals to own maintenance scripts so that scripts stop working when a person leaves the company. Edited to add: I made a mistake in this original post. We use SAML authentication, not IWA.

@RhettZufelt - regarding "I have a scheduled task that opens/closes Pro every monday night just to keep my sign in active." Can you provide details on this? I've been digging through the arcpy documentation without luck to find a function that will do this because I'm having issues with my account logging out of its connection to our Portal, presumably due to inactivity.

You hit the nail on the head. I forgot that I changed my default portal to our Enterprise Portal to support some new scripts that I took ownership of from a departing employee. I'll need to find a way to change portals in my scripts to address that issue. Thank you!

I have a line at the beginning of a script that reads as follows: item = gis.content.get("03e43ce195534e028e7bf49e951414c8") I know that the item ID is valid for a hosted feature layer in my ArcGIS Online organization and that the log-in that I'm using to run the script has permission to access it. (It is not shared publicly, so even if you search for it on your own, you won't be able to view it.) If I add the following statement to the script... print(item) ... the print statement returns "None". Based on this post, a return of "None" means that the feature layer has a size of zero bytes. This isn't possible, as the layer has 502 records. The subsequent steps involve reading through a specific field to look for the most recent date, but the script doesn't get to that point because the get.content.get step isn't returning data. Any ideas for troubleshooting?

Here's another issue that I ran into today. I have a user named gis_viewer in our SQL database that I was using to connect to the enterprise database with my data. I can publish services to Portal with that database connection, but it's missing a permission that will prevent the data from copying via the collaboration. I don't know what the permission is, but I think it requires more than SELECT. Maybe someone from Esri like @ReeseFacendini can provide the link to that resource?

There is a bug in Enterprise 11.1 for multi-machine deployments that is fixed in 11.3: 113-IssuesAddressedList_06112024.pdf (esri.com) In addition to edit sync failures, I was getting a lot of those generic "failed to export item" errors while still on Enterprise 11.1. Upgrading to 11.3 resolved my issue. One other thing to check: make sure that you aren't hiding any fields in your attribute table. In particular, the sync needs all of the editor tracking fields as well as global ID. I got that generic error many times when I had hidden those fields from the attribute table before publishing to Portal. Good luck!

I don't have a solution or explanation yet, but I do have a workaround. After adding the new layer to a web map, I removed the unique symbology and the redid it from scratch. Somehow, making any change to the symbology resolves the issue. All I can guess right now is that the web map or the Instant App doesn't like something about the symbology as-is when it comes across in the collaboration. I've got a ticket in with Esri tech support, but I'm really not sure whether we'll find a root cause or not. It was a pain to manually redo the colors on 20 bus routes, but hey, if it works, it works!

Also, here is the item page for the service I'm using, if you want to test on your own: https://lawrenceks.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=814063f5548042c19ca8fc6b469efa2b

@BethRomero - sorry, I turned off sharing on that app. It's back to Public now. Appreciate your time!

I'm sure I am missing something obvious. My current app is here: https://lawrenceks.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/interactivelegend/index.html?appid=69fec06502a6487e9a40583766ce5ec9 It works fine. All of the bus routes display initially, and clicking in the legend filters them. I created the exact same app, but added in the new routes. It is here: https://lawrenceks.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/interactivelegend/index.html?appid=a5a1a3bd56844844a9966aa7a38b32d7 When you click the legend, the first layer you pick will disappear from the map, but nothing else works. Also, I noticed that in the working app, there is a button to Select All. That does not appear when I use the new data. Differences that I've tested: - Both layers are hosted feature services, but the new one is a copy coming from a distributed collaboration with our Portal. I tried publishing the layer directly to ArcGIS Online as a hosted layer and it made no difference. - The new layer has a definition query on it. I removed it and republished the service, but found no change. - The new layer has punctuation in the name. I removed those and republished to no effect. - The new layer was originally symbolized on a text field, so I converted it to a number field and republished. Again, no change. I'm always a little suspicious of linework that starts and ends in the same spot because we know lines don't want to self intersect, but both the old and new datasets have that situation. I also ran check geometry on the new layer to see if there were any issues. I haven't done a full topology check, but I suppose that's my next step. Open to other ideas!

I have a Pro project that I use exclusively to digitize zoning ordinances. Many times, the legal description references a plat, so I use the Locate tool > Layer Search to find the plat by name. Every time I open that project, I have to open the Locate tool, switch to Layer Search, and change the settings to Search in layer > Plat and change Match exact to Match any part. It would be nice if there were a way to save those settings to that project so that I didn't have to redo it every time.

I create custom color schemes for polygon layers that are color-blind friendly. Once I've created a scheme, I use the "Save to a style" option and tag the symbology as color-blind friendly. I would like to have a way to search the color schemes by tags so that I can filter my choices by the "color-blind friendly" tag and only have those palettes available to me. Being able to search symbology by tags would have many applications beyond my use case. I could set up custom color schemes that are tagged with my organization's name so that I know they match our brand. It's true that you can search in symbology if you click on an individual symbol and search the gallery - that's what I'd like to be able to do for color ramps.

Adding on something new that I learned today. I thought for sure that I could create a hosted feature service on ArcGIS Online that included the new "date only" field, which would eliminate the time factor from the problem. Sadly, Experience Builder does not recognize date only fields at this time. So, the waiting continues...

Hi everyone! Just curious to know if anyone has Cityworks or Tyler EPL and has upgraded to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3. Neither company includes the new release on their compatibility matrix yet, but I am hopeful that someone else has tried it and can report on any issues. I am eager to upgrade Enterprise but not at the expense of other applications.

‎05-08-2024

I agree with you, ShaneR - switching between Catalog and Symbology is not user friendly. You should be able to filter your color scheme choices to color blind safe inside the Symbology pane. Anyone know if that is in ArcGIS Ideas?
