Earlier Enterprises may not have had a hard limit specified in the documentation but there has been a lot of discussion on issues packaging data. There's a good chance that's why these hard limit recommendations eventually came to be. I'm on 10.9.1 and I'm having issues packaging offline areas due to the size of the packages. Since discovering the size limit in the 11.2 documentation, I wondered if the hard limit had always existed but not specifically mentioned.  I'm surprised you haven't had a bad time doing this. It can take ages for fieldworkers to download. You can create up to 16 offline map areas per web map. I'd recommend creating multiple offline areas, as optimized (small) as possible, instead of a single behemoth. I'd look to the 11.1 or latest size limit recommendations as a good guide - under 1gb is better. I discovered that my map already had 16 offline map areas of various sizes (up to 3GB in size) which led me to question how the size limit was enforced. Then, I realised that when the offline map areas were created, they were very likely to be under 2GB in size initially.  As the size of some of the feature services grew, the data in the offline managed grew as well through the 'update' process. The 'Update' process appears to ignore size limits which is how I ended up with packages >2GB in size. As soon as I try to recreate the exact same 'area', the packaging will fail because of the size limit above.  It does introduce a lot of issues in maintaining these offline areas because you could not knowingly be maintaining a perfectly working offline area that has exceeded the size limit but suddenly could not be recreated again due to the size limit and the result is a broken offline map area. It does look like this limit can be configured according to : https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/unable-to-create-an-offline-area-for-a-large-data-size-bug-000157485   ... View more

Swapping basemap did not solve the issue for me but I did manage to fix it by opening another window using Incognito and logging in again.  I believe the cause was me having logins both to REST and Portal in the same session using different accounts. When Portal was trying to execute the OfflinePackaging geoprocessing service, my other username appeared as the initiator instead which Portal then complained that the 'Map Area iteam xxxx was missing related map'. It made sense because managed offline areas can only be created by the owner of the WebMap in Portal and when another user tries to generate one, the job fails.   ... View more

Bumping this post up, I'm also having the same issue. Did you get any further response from Esri ? ... View more

Yep, having the same issue. After upgrading to Pro 3.2.1, the arcgis package disappeared from the package manager in Pro. The package does exist though if you run conda list in the Python Command Prompt (as shown below) Looks like Pro isn't reading the packages from conda correctly. Anyway, to solve the issue you're having, you can try following this article here which uses the Python command prompt to clone the Python environment. https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-clone-a-python-environment-with-the-python-comma-000020560 Then, you can manually ask conda to install the package you require using the conda install <package_name> command.     ...

Yeah, I did. The script runs fine until it reached a certain time period and the error "A general error occurred: Could not login using Pro authencation.Please verify in Pro that you are logged in" appears. I also tried to 're-authenticate' by adding GIS ("pro") inside the loop instead of outside but that also did not work. I wonder how the GIS("pro") method is actually authenticating behind the scenes..... ... View more

Thanks for your reply, I was actually messing around with the apps file because I tried to migrate my old apps to a newer version of WAB. It wasn't liking something in particular and I thought I could remove bits of reference to some of the problematic apps. I did make a backup copy of the code but any modifications to the code seems to have corrupted the whole database.  Lesson learned, don't mess around with any of the db files in WAB . At least it is still recoverable but there isn't a way to assign it back to the AGOL accounts that it was originally created from. ... View more

Just measured mine and it started in 29 seconds from a fresh reinstall of 10.3 .  I thought ArcMap's startup performance would be a function of : CPU Single Core Speed ( the higher the better !) Hard Disk read/write speed  Existing connections/folders that ArcMap needs to find  Network speed/policies (if any of your stuff is connected to a network) Source of license server (where is it reading the license from ) Intermediate files associated with an ArcMap session (GP results etc) Data in the MXD itself  Versions of ArcMap??? (Can't be sure of this because I don't have the stats for different installations of ArcMap) ... View more

Just wondering if anyone else have issues passing special characters from Survey 123 to AGOL. Apologies if a post bump is not allowed in the forums Our client would really like to see a response to this query. ... View more

Hi James, Will the script also sync records with only their attributes updated? This can be through users updating their collected data through AGOL after submissiong from Survey 123. Thanks, Weng ... View more
