Can I publish a map service with Server using an AGOL feature service

DWR_BuckEhler

Does anyone know how to publish a Map Service from an AGOL Feature Service or if it is possible?

We have an AGOL Feature Service that we would like to have a web layer of with more advanced line decorations and labels. The only way to publish advanced line symbology is through a Map Service using ArcServer or Enterprise, but we don't want to sever the live connection to our Feature Service in AGOL. 

Is there a good method to do this or some other way to have complex line decorations in REST service? Currently, we are running ArcServer 10.8.1 (build 14362).

Thanks for any insights provided,

Buck

There is no way to publish a registered service from a registered service. The hosting server must have access to the data directly, either through an enterprise geodatabase connection, or through loading the data to the Server / Datastore.

You can publish a Hosted Map Image layer that does what you want, but this only works if you own the source layer anyway.

There are a couple of ways you could still do this, but they're both a bit complicated.

1. Use the JS 4.x API. It's currently possible to create more complex line symbols in web maps, but many of the settings are only accessible if you're writing the code yourself.
2. Create a duplicate service in Portal, then use a script to synchronize the data from AGOL to Portal on a nightly / hourly basis. Configure a Hosted Map Image layer off of the duplicate.
