Another failure by Esri to understand how their software is actually used. ArcPro is poorly designed to function as collaborative enterprise software, where. In the real world people share data and tools. ArcPro projects are geared toward siloed individuals. ... View more

A Mobile GDB is not a substitute for a Personal GDB in any way. This is extremely misleading. Even with the proper ODBC drivers, loading sqlLite tables in MS Access, you cannot build queries because of the funky field types for strings and dates in a Mobile GDB. It is essentially worthless. Esri has still stubbornly failed to provide this capability in Pro. Esri is deluded in thinking that data isn't complicated and dismisses the many beneifts of editing and querying data in MS Access. ... View more

This entire article is a misleading lie. I have been testing out reading Mobile Geodatabases in MS Access. They are in no way whatsoever an alternative to a Personal Geodatabase. Even with a third party driver that allows one to read a MobileGDB in MS Access, it is barely functional. This is because all Text fields in an Esri Mobile GDB are created as 'Long Text' fields in SQLite, which makes them unusable in queries in MS Access. Also Date fields in an Esri Mobile GDB are a custom field type and cannot be translated in MS Access. These issues make a Mobile Geodatabase unusable in MS Access. ... View more

Is there a way to do this within arcpy? In order to see my edits to a layer from a versioned feature class I have to righ-click the sde connectin and hit Properties or restart ArcPro. ... View more

The main advantage of the Personal GDB was the ability to query and edit the data in Microsoft Access. This is not an inherent ability for Mobile Geodatabases and ArcGIS is not at all adequate for working with complex relational data. The ability to open a SQLite database in MS Access requires a third party ODBC driver. As a government employee, I do not have the luxury of installing such a driver on my machine, let alone having this driver installed on the Remote Desktop server where my agency does all of its work. Getting approval to have something like this installled may never be possible or will take a very long time (I am starting to petition for it). Is it possible to have this ODBC Driver installed along with ArcGIS Pro in future releases? Otherwise a Mobile Geodatabase does not have much value and is not a valid alternative to a Personal GDB. Not being able to use a Personal GDB in ArcGIS Pro is therefore a serious impediment to my workflow and Esri has still not provided an alternative for me.  ... View more

Please support personal GDBs in ArcPro. They are extremely useful in managing complex tabular data related to spatial data. Esri likes to pretend they do not need to support such things. Also, update SDE while your at it. It is completely archaic after many years of neglect. ... View more

This is how to loop through a folder for a user. Combine this with a loop through each user in an Org... admin = arcrest.manageorg.administration.Administration(securityHandler=sh) content = admin.content user = content.users.user(uname) # Iterate through all content in each folder for folder in user.folders:       fName = folder['title']       user.currentFolder = fName       print ('--------------------------------------------')       print ("In Folder: {}".format(fName))       for item in user.items:             print " - {}".format(item.title) ...
