I have worked it out for myself. You cant use just a file like my vpcprep.json as a standalone PREP configuration for the cloudbuilder.exe it needs to be a part of a bigger file that also includes the upload of licences and SSL certs. (like the allprep.json file provided in the samples folder cloudbuilder.exe does have a hardcoded setup for the CIDRs created for the VPC and subnets VPV : 10.0.0.0/16 Subnet 1: 10.0.0.0/24 Subnet 2: 10.0.1.0/24 so there is a lot of space here 255 addresses in each

I have been attempting to run the simplest test of the cloudbuilder for AWS CLI. Running the PREP option > cloudbuilder.exe PREP -j Configuration\MyPrepFiles\vpcprep.json with the following JSON config file (nothing else in it) to do no more than create a new VPC with two subnets (in the Asia Pacific SouthEast - Sydney Region) { "AWSCredentials": { "AWSAccessKey": "AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "AWSSecretKey": "jrAAeXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "AWSRegion": "ap-southeast-2" }, "NetworkStack": { "StackName": "Speedy-Hub", "AZs": "ap-southeast-2a,ap-southeast-2b", "CreateFlag": true } } When this runs - there is no output, no ErrorLog and the only messages in the Log is the following: Date :17-Oct-18 3:37:05 PM---------------Process initiated with batch id : 20181017033705 Date :17-Oct-18 3:37:05 PM---------------Failed to determine list of parameters for Network Stack The json was copied directly from the SAMPLE file and just the Region and AZs altered. What may be causing the lack of result? Is this a valid use of the PREP function? Does the cloudbuilder.exe automatically decide the CIDR space for the subnets? Have spent a frustrating couple of hours checking syntax, and reading doc. No luck so far. David H.

We are going through the exercise of experimenting with using the "all on one Machine" Cloud Formation template for ArcGIS Enterprise. We found the following page has an old link at step 3 that is only up to date to 10.6. Deploy using AWS CloudFormation templates from the AWS Management Console—ArcGIS Enterprise on AWS | ArcGIS Enterprise The link on this page should be to CloudFormation templates to deploy ArcGIS Enterprise on Amazon Web Services | ArcGIS Enterprise We needed to do a fair bit of investigative work - traw;lingt hrough S3 buckets to work this out, Hopefully, this will be corrected promptly

Larry, thanks for this post, it will help reinforce the concept of using the baseline packages as starters. One of the difficult parts in changing the models provided within the starters is where the need is to remove or rename AssetGroups/Subtypes. It is easy to add them. The interrelationships with underlying association and attribute rules means that the ability to remove/rename a subtype is disabled once a UN has been created in the Enterprise GeoDB. The path to achieve this is to do these schema changes in the fgdb within the package prior to staging/creating the UN in the Ent GeoDB (or adding a domain package). The tricky part is that the person doing the configuration needs to also check if the AssetGroup being deleted/renamed is referenced in any of the association/attribute rules. To do this, the B_xxx tables within the fgdb need to be examined and manually edited to remove "orphans". Not the simplest task. If this is not done, once the UN is created from the package, there will be inconsistencies - I do not not yet know how serious these consequences are. Are they detected and reported? Can these be repaired in the"built" UN?

looks like the August 14 MS Update has been released https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4343888/windows-81-update-kb4343888 - this should include the fix that was in the "preview" patch.

The reason I ask for more guidance is that I have been led astray by the Help documentation Create a water utility network—Get Started | ArcGIS for Water in this page it provides the following order of implementation Set up an enterprise geodatabase Change the spatial reference of the asset package Stage the utility network Apply the asset package Configure your utility network from the last step - it links to Tools for configuring a utility network—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop this describes using the Utility Network Tools Toolbox and the Database Management Tools Toolbox - nowhere along this path does it indicate that schema changes should be made in the Asset package prior to step 4. thus my call for a best practices type paper

Thanks Michael, I just posted in the other thread where this has come up. we have found the cross link to an attribute rule that does reference the assetgroup in question but have not yet tried dripping this directly in the UN i appreciate the clarification that schema change should be made in the fgdb in the package. It really would be great if a post or paper could be provided outlying a little more detail of the best way to build a new UN starting with the standard packages and then altering to match local schema needs. the existing help certainly guided me to make the changes in the UN once staged. but maybe that’s just me leaping to conclusions. are you saying you just cannot apply schema change once in UN or that is is especially tricky to do it that way? I would have thought getting some feedback when attempting to do changes that are cross related is a good thing and leads to a more consistent outcome.

Thanks Michael, we may have found the culprit - there is an AttributeRule that references the assetgroup value. i will drop/alter the rule and see if that then allows me to make the changes. i think it is better to have the UN itself catch these for me rather than try to alter the fgdb in the package and then have orphan or invalid rules. Do you know if anyone is working on a post or paper that sets out a guideline for getting your own schema into UN? It would be particularly good to get a listing of the fields/asset groups/assettypes that must NOT be altered.

Hi Paul, when attempting to drop AssetGroup "Bond Junction" from WaterJunction feature class - The error message says it is "in use by another domain or subtype" The deletion is happening against the Utility Network itself not the package. The workflow we are attempting to use is - stage and create the UN in our ArcGIS Enterprise geodb from the starter WaterDistribution_AssetPackage (without loading the data) - change the coordinate system to match our needs - disable the UN - modify the schema of the classes in the UN to match our data requirements - update the rules and associations to match the new schema - re-enable UN - export as a new local package - use the fgdb in the package as a template for a staging file database - use FME and simple loader tools to populate the staging fgdb - load the Enterprise GeoDB from the staging fgdb - enable branch versioning, etc...

Howard Crothers‌ We too are having the problem that we cannot remove assetgroups from the standard WaterDistribution Asset Package. At the latest versions of UN 2.2, ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1, UNTools 2.2.1, and ArcGIS Pro 2.2.1. We can add assetgroups/subtypes OK - just not drop tem. Is it possibly an AttributeRule causing a lock? I cant work out how to find these.

How long are we talking, 2 minutes or 60 minutes?

Hi Anthony going through the initial setup at one of our customer sites and also discovered the untools package was never found to be added. We found we were unable to Add Python Packages using ArcGIS Pro due to 2 issues Pro needs to be running with elevated admin rights (UAC environment) The customer's outgoing proxy is quite restricted and was not allowing access to conda repositories The following addresses need to be whitelisted to allow the packages to be accessed conda.anaconda.org repo.continuum.io 52.216.0.0/16 (AWS S3 buckets) Hope this helps someone else as well.

Hi Scott, I guess you know that this was introduced at 10.6 for both AGOL and Enterprise so yay! https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/create-groups.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_5E3FFFAA1B7E443FBB1E483E070B1979 https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/share-maps/create-groups.htm

A bit of an update. We have upgraded to 10.5 and very pleasantly surprised to find that GeoFence memory management is MUCH better. It is now about 45 KB per polygon (4-12 vertices each) which still seems large to me – but much better than the 5MB per feature we were seeing at 10.4.1. We noted that even though significantly less memory was consumed by the GeoFences – this memory was still NOT released when the GeoFences were deleted. The memory is not returned to the general pool until the entire GeoEvent Server windows services is stopped and restarted. David H.
