David, I just want to say thanks for the pointer. That seemed to the same issue I was having. I republished my feature service using Unique Values symbology based on my subtype field, instead of using Single Symbology option. I even collapsed my various subtypes into one symbology 'group' so that there is just 1 symbology for all subtypes. That works fine; the web map displays the subtype description rather than the integer code and has the proper domain-like drop down functionality now as well. I needed this for my field guys to be able to change subtype, but they didn't need to actually see different subtype symbology.  I have federated ArcGIS Enterprise Portal + Server 10.8.1 and as of today using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0. ...

Tripp and others, just want to say thank you for the pointers about using UNC paths to avoid the Project Template to not copy data, that was driving me nuts.  This seems like it could be an easy fix by providing additional checkboxes to RE-Confirm that you want NO data copied no matter what, and you're OK with links being potentially broken for people with alternative drive mappings. I'm on version 2.9 btw ... View more

I would really like this feature. They could even roll out a simplified form initially and then improve it in later versions. Just a simple indication of how the current layout is expected to fit onto your current printer page settings. Also, can't find options for quality of the export when printing, in case you want to do a draft print? There were a bunch of simple but useful options with ArcMap. Once again I'm kind of scratching my head why simple functionality in ArcMap that literally everyone made use of wouldn't be included in Pro, especially since so much effort was put into modernizing/expanding the Layout workflow. I do like that they included options for tile overlap though, that's actually going to be really helpful... but in context it's pretty lackluster when those are literally the only print options available to you, and there's no in-menu description, guide, or tooltip to tell you what exactly it does or how to use it effectively. (I'm using 2.4) ... View more

I have successfully copied AGOL webmaps to my new Portal 10.6.1 setup with the ArcGIS Online Assistant, but all of the webAPPS that I have copied are broken.   Has anyone else has trouble with migrating webapps? ... View more

Ah thank you, that makes more sense now why MDF was being referred to in that thread. I mixed up my file extensions, and was wondering why an access database would have much relevance there ... View more

Thanks, but I don't really see how that addresses any of these bloat issues. The bloat data comes from overwriting of the feature classes in a file geodatabase, repetitively, over time. Making a new fgdb and importing the layers will of course be the correct/normal size, so that's not a surprise.  (edit: .MDS is personal geodatabase, .MDF is a SQL Server database file) From your comment I just want to clarify that SDE (enterprise geodatabase) is not the same as MDF (personal file geodatabase). It looks this process just creates a new fgdb (file geodatabase) as far as I can tell, rather than addressing the overwrite/bloat issue. I've written a script to automate rebuilding my fgdb's when needed (when it gets ridiculously large at some point), so I can work around the issue but it's just a bit annoying. Not all of my data comes from an SDE source, and the bloat issue is not necessarily an SDE issue. It also occurs when I tested local fgdb to local fgdb. ... View more

I'd also like to add that I've been having this problem at my local government, after discovering three of my common file geodatabases (fgdb) that we use to be our main "read-only" fgdb's became bloated to many gigabytes in size. They normally are 100-500MB when "normal". I did extensive testing, and found that... -> Junk data is generated whether or not the fgdb is actively connected to published web services -> Junk data is generated with Truncate & Append, CopyFeatures, and FeatureToFeature geoprocessing tools -> Doesn't matter if it's from a python script or through ArcMap/Catalog GUI.  -> It is not consistent -- the nightly overwrites generate junk data, but if I manually run overwrites immediately in succession, the amount of junk data produced is less. But if I wait some period of time, the amount of junk is greater. Sometimes junk data (bloated size) is created in one of the fgdb tables, as viewed in file explorer, but no extra files are actually created. Sometimes many new files are created.  -> I opened a ticket with ESRI and they have no solution, they actually pointed to this thread as one of the few addressing the bug.  -> My only solution is to rebuild the fgdb's periodically.  -> Replication is not an answer for me because that requires all data to be coming from an SDE, my data comes from multiple sources, some of which are not SDE.  -> I've also tested compressing. When overwriting using truncate/append on compressed data, I uncompressed, truncate/appended, then recompressed. Successive runs of this STILL produced bloated data.  ... View more

Hm that's interesting, ESRI was able to replicate the "sharing with Everyone" bug on their end. This is independent of the "copied layer" problem. If I have even 1 hosted feature layer shared with everyone in a map, it will fail to load for about 70-80 seconds, but then does actually load eventually. Likewise, the "Data" or "Visualize" tabs in the feature's item information page will also fail to load for that time. The "copy layer" problem for me, on the other hand, will never load the map given time, it just fails.  That's interesting that you're getting the issue without sharing with "Everyone!" Must be another manifestation of the bug from some other source.  ... View more

FYI there is a related issue to this bug as discussed in this thread: Existing web map layers are not responding and cannot be added to map in Chrome Data and maps will not load correctly in this version of Chrome if a hosted feature layer is shared with "Everyone". ESRI support said they are hoping Chrome developers push an update by the end of next week (hopefully by Friday, September 2, but who knows!).  ... View more

I've found that this behavior is replicated specifically when sharing hosted feature layers with "Everyone". This is related to the bug (BUG-000098445) as Scott mentions above. ESRI support said they are hoping Chrome developers push an update by the end of next week.  ... View more
