In what is now a rare moment when I find myself using ArcGIS Pro it because I'm doing something....really complicated. In this case I have a workflow where I need 2-3 GP Tools open at once so I can perform a repeatable workflow. Yes, I could probably make a model or a python but I don't want @KoryKramer to think I've retired!  Existing behavior: I have 3 tools open, and I bang through them 1-2-3, and I just cycle each tool and change one thing in each of them. Problem is, I can't remember which "Calculate Field" tool I just changed something in and which is the next one I need to change. Sure, they're in order, but what if I had 5 open and I can't count? What if I'm not always going in the same 1-2-3 order? I have to open each tool to figure out what it's doing.....     Sure would be handy if I could see this:   By TEMPORARILY renaming the tool at runtime. Coincidentally I could see this being handy when folks are trying to document workflows with GP history: instead of 10 instances of "Calculate Field", the user could control the display name of each tool execution     ...

From Specify server log settings  "The default directory where the server writes its logs is c:\arcgisserver\logs. The log path must be set to a local directory..." but I have a need to have the log files on a network share (many multi-machine sites). Anyone got some voo-doo magic they can share that can mirror the GIS Server logs?  ... View more

Who has successfully gotten a Portal Content Directory working on Azure Premium Storage? For clarity, we're using Azure Premium Files, NOT Blob Storage. Format is \\name.file.core.windows.net\performancetest\CONTENT We're also using a gMSA as the Portal Service Account. 11.2.  We have a support case going into its second month with no solution in sight. Coincidentally, all of our GIS Server Config Store and Directories work perfectly fine on \\name.file.core.windows.net\performancetest\CONTENT, same gMSA running them as well. Which eliminates "You configured it wrong (Azure)".  We've brought in our on-prem Azure Heavy Hitters, and we've logged and tested the storage account like no other storage account has ever been tested, and can find nothing.  But when we configure Portal to use \\name.file.core.windows.net\performancetest\CONTENT as the content directory, it renders portal unusable for which a full VM restore is the only means of recovery.    Solved: Re: Portal Service can't be started when Upgrade f... - Esri Community Re: Upgrade high available portal from 10.9 to 11.... - Esri Community   While helpful and gave us some things to test, do not solve the problem. And yes, the gMSA has full control to the directory and can read/write as confirmed by dozens of hours of testing.  ... View more

I have a portal-agol collaboration where manual sync works, but schedule sync remains in a blocked state with no apparant way to unblock it. Pausing and resuming does not work, changing the schedule does not work, in fact, changing every single setting only results in BLOCKED. Blowing away the workspace or the partnership is not an option.    ... View more
