I am setting up a service for a map to be used in Collector.  There is a related table and some of the fields in that table have domains.  Collector will update fields in the related table. When I was setting up the Feature Service by using the Publish... option in ArcMap, the resulting service and map in Collector has the domains on the fields that I set up in the file geodatabase.  However, we realized that that method also burns quite a number of credits in ArcGIS Online (even though I unticked the Tiled Mapping box under Capabilities -- seems like a bug to me).  So our AGOL site manager and I conferred and I learned that if you publish the service by just zipping the file geodatabase and uploading it, it doesn't build the tiles and thus burn credits.  Both of those methods are detailed on this page... Publish features—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS However, the file geodatabase publishing method does not appear to maintain the domains -- when I go to create a record in Collector, the domains aren't there.  So I searched and found this page, which tells you how you update the domains by updating the JSON... Updating Hosted Feature Services in ArcGIS Online | ArcGIS Blog So I did that, and it worked.  But really, I think I shouldn't have to do that.  If AGOL can see domains on something I upload via ArcMap, which is pointing to a file geodatabase, it should see domains that are sent up by uploading the file geodatabase directly.  Right?  What am I missing?

I have a Python script that builds tile packages from a set of .mxds.  I created this script last fall, and from the beginning it has always defaulted to using multiple cores (I have a four core machine).  The script runs in IDLE.  It would always say "Generating tile cache using 4 parallel instances." Months later and I have to run this script again to generate new tile packages.  Now when I run the script it says "Parallel processing has been disabled for the tool on this product."  To the best of my knowledge I have not changed my ArcGIS configuration.  When I run the same process on the command line in ArcGIS it still says "Generating tile cache using 4 parallel instances." So somewhere in the process of the script calling arcpy, the parallel processing is being denied.  I have half a dozen sets of tiles, and so now what used to take 8 hours is taking over a day. I've scoured the internet, checked my scripts, checked the licensing for ArcGIS, talked to our network security team about McAfee possibly interfering with it, and I am stumped.  I even tried forcing the parallel processing by setting arcpy.env.parallelProcessingFactor = "100%" but then the script errors out, saying "ExecuteError: ERROR 001493: The tool does not support parallel processing on this product." I'm running ArcGIS 10.2 and Python 2.7.3 on Win 7 Pro. Anyone have an idea?
