Andrew, A colleague of mine provide me this link to an existing bug that is resolved in 10.8.   BUG-000124867: When attempting to download a managed map area in Co..  That pretty much answers my question on the issue, but I've yet to do much additional testing using the workaround. From the SQL Server side it did look like there were issues with the replicas being valid. ... View more

Philip, With the webhooks becoming a permanent part of the Portal and AGOL platform... it seems like they would be architected such that they run on the server when the table is modified, as opposed to the client app so they can be more widely leveraged by the enterprise apps.   It looks as though the webhooks on Portal run on the server.  So I guess the webhooks for Survey123 in AGOL are just different? Thanks, Richard ... View more

So I wrote a notebook using the most current ArcPro Jupyter notebook installation and needed to setup an environment outside ArcPro.  I chose python 3.7 Anaconda when downloading so that was where it was looking for the arcgis module.   Using the command prompt, I did install version 1.7 by specifying, "esri arcgis=1.7.0", into my conda env and my script does work as it did in Jupyter notebook.  I was not sure how running a script exported from a notebook would behave, but it works as expected so far. ...

You are correct... I did the search, found the package, and installed it by specifying the version. What I was seeing what that doing conda install -c esri arcgis it was installing 1.6 and not giving an option to update.  That was happening in the console and in Anaconda Navigator.  That made me think it may not have been officially released. Thank you for clearing that up. ... View more

It is my understanding based on what I've seen, that only a Python Toolbox published as a GP Service will provide dynamically updating Choice Lists.  I don't know why a script tool would not also work.  Does Esri have any guidance on this.  Does a Python Toolbox run the  Custom Validation Code when it gets published as a GP Service? ...

Hi Philip, What you are describing is similar to what I was thinking may be the case.  I have been told that there are customizations that get lost when users redownload the forms in the mobile app so that is mainly what is prompting this inquiry.  Some people just are not redownloading the forms.  I will need to look at what those issues are specifically.  That said, I am a bit surprised that the downloaded form and the Survey 123 app would be aware of the webhook settings on the server.  It seem like more of a server/client architecture choice, but with the RestAPI I guess my first thought was that the webhook would be tied to something on a webserver or database server, not the client app.  It is a new app for me, so I am sure more of this will become clearer in the future.  Thanks for your assistance.  I will pass along your insight to the team.     ...

Today I did successfully Query the map's Operational Layers using the location passed from the MapView to the View through a binding.  That is all I really needed to do since the Map and all its Operational Layers are available in the View Model.  But as I figuring out how to work with the MapView programatically my brain short-circuited.  The screen vs map points is a great point to make regarding the differences between the Map and the MapView and all the screen sizing that takes place on the client.  I do really like this new design with the MapView and appreciate all that is going into it.  I do use code behind to enable the location service on the MapView.  Eventually that will have to get put somewhere else if I integrate with an external GPS receiver, or maybe not?  That will be interesting. ...

So to follow up on this.   foreach(FeatureQueryResult result in queryResults) { foreach(Feature feat in result) { var att = feat.GetAttributeValue("OBJECTID"); MessageBox.Show(att.ToString()); } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Just iterating through the FeatureQueryResult gives me access to the Feature which has methods to access the attributes. ...

Update from me on using a Controller for the MapView.   I like how I can now both listen to events and call methods on the view model.  Thanks to the samples from esri folks I was able to get this together for another productive day tomorrow.  I'll be studying this code more... Thanks for you help.  What I did was combine a 10.2.x sample on navigating with the view model Navigate from ViewModel | ArcGIS for Developers, and a more recent sample of listening to the GeoView Tap Events via a ControllerAccessing MapView methods like IdentifyGraphicsOverlaysAsync from viewmodel.  I don't see a button for code formatting otherwise I would post what I have.  It is basically relies on the classes and stuff in C# that I don't know yet, so I will be busy with that.  Meanwhile getting over this hurdle will make everything soo much brighter!! ...

Hello all, I've been doing research on this learning with WPF and it seems so odd that functionality like Identifying/Querying Map Layers is only available on the MapView and that it is really difficult to call methods on it using MVVM.   I understand more or less how to relay the events from the View to the View Model (using mvvm light), but what about simply calling a method on the MapView?  Does that still require creating Controllers?  I've been working with the samples available online for Navigating from the View Model, and Identification Controllers, and am so worried because I just don't understand how to make them work for me.  I think the Navigating from the View Model sample provides the technique for calling methods on the View, but I am having issues with implementing it. What I am doing is attempting to Identify the layers at a point.  I have the point from the Location MapPoint because I can pass that property with the Command as a CommandParameter to my ViewModel, but to perform the query on the layers I need to call a method on the MapView.  That is where I need help. Am I just way off the path here?  My background is in Python and javascript/typescript so I am learning the .net sdk and WPF with a plan to transition to UWP after I get a better grasp of how to structure these runtime apps.
