I\u2019ll give an overview of the main features we\u2019ve added this release and then we can dig deeper into some of them in future posts.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a snapshot of our new features:<\/p>\n
In ArcGIS Pro 3.2 we added the Generate Schema Report<\/a> geoprocessing tool that allows you to export your geodatabase schema to a report in various formats (XLSX, PDF, HTML, JSON). This was a heavily requested feature and we\u2019re happy that it\u2019s gotten a good reception and lots of useful feedback on the community page<\/a> that we set up.<\/p>\n In a blog post from last release<\/a> I mentioned that this was the first phase of the project. Our real goal was always to be able to support schema editing directly in the report. That is to say, exporting the report, making schema changes directly in the Excel file or JSON, and then importing that into a newly created geodatabase. The new geodatabase will then be a representation of your new data model with all of the schema changes made in the report.<\/p>\n With ArcGIS Pro 3.3 we\u2019ve enabled this workflow via a new geoprocessing tool called Convert Schema Report<\/a>. This tool allows you to take a schema report that you\u2019ve generated in JSON or XLSX and convert it to another format (JSON, PDF, HTML, XLSX, or XML). To complete the schema report editing workflow mentioned above, you can use this tool in conjunction with the Import XML Workspace Document<\/a> tool.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll put a separate post together with tips about this schema editing workflow and using the new Convert Schema Report tool. In the meantime, this short vid gives a nice overview:<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"kaltura","video_id":"1_wxl7z8t7","time":false,"start":0,"stop":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" We\u2019ll also be offering a comprehensive demo theatre on this at the User Conference this year so stop by and check it out if you\u2019re down in San Diego. It\u2019s called Geodatabases: Generating Schema Reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" ArcGIS Pro 3.3 also became the perfect time to make some overdue improvements to the Import XML Workspace Document<\/a> experience since we were already raising the profile of it with the whole schema report editing workflow mentioned above.<\/p>\n With the new release we\u2019ve added a wizard when you are importing an XML workspace document. The first page of the wizard lets you choose the XML file and whether you\u2019d like to import with data or schema only. And on the second page we\u2019ve added a new data grid. This acts as a preview for the schema that you\u2019ll be importing. But it also allows you to address any naming conflicts and define configuration keywords for the schema elements being imported.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2356972,"id":2356972,"title":"ImportXML","filename":"ImportXML.png","filesize":37967,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/data-management\/whats-new-from-the-geodatabase-team-in-arcgis-pro-3-3\/importxml","alt":"","author":"3981","description":"","caption":"","name":"importxml","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2356802,"date":"2024-05-29 20:28:35","modified":"2024-05-29 20:28:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":646,"height":485,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","medium-width":348,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","medium_large-width":646,"medium_large-height":485,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","large-width":646,"large-height":485,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","1536x1536-width":646,"1536x1536-height":485,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","2048x2048-width":646,"2048x2048-height":485,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML-619x465.png","card_image-width":619,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ImportXML.png","wide_image-width":646,"wide_image-height":485}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" This one has a nice story. It started as an idea on the community pages<\/a>. Then we put some sample tools in a blog post<\/a> to help out with it. Then we decided it was so helpful we should just put it right in the core software. Eh voila!<\/p>\n Now with ArcGIS Pro 3.3 you can use the Export Attachments<\/a> geoprocessing tool to dump all of the attachments associated with a table or feature class into a designated folder. Only want to export attachments for a selection of features? It does that too.<\/p>\n The tool has also been thoughtfully designed with numerous ways to rename the attached media as well as organize the exported items into sub-folders during the export process.<\/p>\n Below is a short vid to see the tool in action.

When you share layers with validation or batch calculation attribute rules that have the Validation capability enabled, all four error tables must be present in the map view. Similarly, if a table or feature class that is referenced by a rule is not included in a map you will also get a warning.<\/p>\n Previously, when you received these warnings you would have to go back to the Catalog pane to scroll and search for the missing items and add them to the map, then attempt to publish again. With Pro 3.3 you can simply right click the warning error in the Sharing pane and click Add to map. So, a helpful time saver there.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" This was an outstanding ArcMap equivalency issue that we\u2019re happy to have finally gotten to in Pro 3.3. People liked the malleability of the Extract Data Wizard in ArcMap and we\u2019ve added the Extract Data From Geodatabase<\/a> geoprocessing tool with that same functionality.<\/p>\n It works like a copy\/paste operation, bringing data from one geodatabase to another, but also allows you more granularity by:<\/p>\n This one is for system admins who want to lock down specific application settings<\/a> for ArcGIS Pro before deploying it across a team or organization. We\u2019ve exposed options for versioning and geodatabase replication that you can configure in a Pro.settingsConfig file prior to deployment. This lets you lock in certain settings or set different defaults than what they usually are for the application.<\/p>\n For example, if you\u2019d like all new versions to be created as branch versioned by default, you can configure the app to do that.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" Finally, here\u2019s a collection of other notable nuggets that we\u2019ve added in Pro 3.3:<\/p>\n All in all, another good haul of new features, updates, and enhancements for the Pro 3.3 release from the Geodatabase team. We\u2019ll post some follow-up blogs on some of this functionality soon.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re still hungry for info, remember to snack on the delicious Geodatabase Resources Hub<\/a> that we baked last release. A more app-wide look of what\u2019s new can be found in the What\u2019s New documentation<\/a>. And as always, continue to post to the ideas site and engage on the community pages<\/a>. We have been listening and, as you can see release-to-release, a lot of these features and enhancements are getting pulled directly from there.<\/p>\n Enjoy ArcGIS Pro 3.3!
