Workaround

  • When navigating to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcToolBox\Scripts\ga_server_joinfeatures.py and open the tool script, an error is displayed due to the inability to reference self in the main function. However, in the other functions, it can be referenced since it is sent as a function parameter.
  • Comment the lines 51 to 54:

# includeDistance and distanceUnit were exposed at 11.2:

 #if PortalVersion() < 2023.2: # 11.2

  #self.params[14].enabled = False

  #self.params[15].enabled = False

  • Copy the lines 52 to 54 and paste them inside the updateParameters function:

def updateParameters(self):

 """Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal

   validation is performed. This method is called whenever a parameter

  has been changed."""

if PortalVersion() < 2023.2: # 11.2

  self.params[14].enabled = False

  self.params[15].enabled = False

  • Run the Join Features (GeoAnalytics Server tool) once again.
