Editable Feature Service

JoshObrecht

I have published a Feature Service, however am unable to edit it. I try editing in ArcMap and receive two messages: "No editable layers" and "The workspace containing this data cannot be edited." I have registered the data source and versioned the geodatabase. What else may be the issue?

Thanks for the quick reply Leland Snyder We are essentially following Jillian Penney's workflow above and getting the same error Josh received: "A local copy could not be created. Bad syntax in request." We have logs at fine level and did not see any blatant issues - in fact everything looked to check out ok but then seemed to revert back the replica two seconds later. We earlier had a different error message and saw that some of the feature classes had 0 features in them and Arcmap choked on that, though with a somewhat more helpful message about not able to find a feature. But that has been resolved and now onto the next ambiguous error.

LelandSnyder

Sorry , it has been so long since I had this issue, I don't even recall what my issue was now. "REST" assured, I have done plenty of feature service editing since! Could be any number of issues. Care to elaborate on your specific issue?

JTessier

Leland Snyder‌, did you ever find a solution? We are seeing this "Bad Syntax" at 10.5.1 now, looking at the same workflow.

LelandSnyder

I am experiencing this same bad syntax error. I have been trying to diagnose the problem by republishing a new feature service, but no success.

I have no problem web editing through flex applications or through AGOL. My feature class is registered for versioning but I am editing it as nonversioned. I am publishing a connection to my sql server with a role established for editing.

My local copy in desktop is from the feature service and is created in a file gdb. Nothing I am doing is throwing any obvious red flags with any of the research I have done.

Was this issue ever resolved? I am having the exact same outcome - I can not edit a feature service in the rest endpoint. The dataset is versioned and has globalids.

JoshObrecht

I am not able to do edits using the REST endpoint. In FireBug, I receive:

{"error":{"code":400,"message":"Unable to complete operation.","details":[]}}

Hello

Does this process work if you just want people to be able to make selections on the service in ArcGIS? I don't want anyone to make edits just be able to make selections based on other attributes, graphics, etc..

Thanks

Are you able to successfully make edits via the REST endpoint? You could test this by adding the feature service to an ArcGIS Online map (Add layer from web --> http://[...]/FeatureServer) and see if you can make edits. If you use Mozilla Firefox, add & open the Firebug add-on (with Net & All tabs selected) and see what Response the POST applyEdits operation receives.

I know this will not solve your problem, but it will help narrow down the issue.

JoshObrecht

No I have not.

Hello - did you ever find a resolution to this? I'm having similar issues with an ArcGIS 10.1 feature service.

Thanks,
Lisa

JillianPenney

Okay, perhaps you can try stopping your service, adding global ids to the feature class, and restarting the service. Also, make sure your geodatabase is upgraded to the current release you are using.

If you are just looking to edit, have you tried using the Flex viewer?

JoshObrecht

Neither of those

JillianPenney

Hmm... what kinda of data are you using? Does it have GlobalID's or attachments?

JoshObrecht

I'm getting an error message.

"A local copy could not be created. Bad syntax in request."

JillianPenney

Ok, so in order to edit a feature service in ArcMap you need to make a local copy for editing and then synchronize the local edits with the server when you're finished editing. To do this:

Drag the feature service onto the Data Frame
Switch to the 'List by Drawing Order' view in the table of contents
Right click on the group layer and go down to 'Edit Features'
Select 'Create Local Copy for Editing'
You may then make the edits required.
When you're satisfied with your edits and ready to synchronize them back, right click the group layer again>Edit Features>Synchronize Local Edits with the Server
This will apply the edits you've made to the features in the feature service

For further information, you can read the documentation here:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//01m60000000s000000

Hope this helps!

I am using Advanced

nicogis

What's the license ArcMap (basic, std or adv) ? you can use std or adv for editing feature service

JoshObrecht

That is correct.

JillianPenney

How are you consuming the service in ArcMap, is it through a ArcGIS Server user connection?

JoshObrecht

Editing is shown under the capabilities for the layer.

Does the permission need to be the ArcGIS Server admin on the server with SDE?

RobertBorchert

When you published the data did you enable editing? Also do you have permissions to edit the data.
