How to set snap options for Network Analyst Services via REST API?

SebastianStey

Can anybody tell me how to define snap options when using Network Services via REST API?

Using ArcGIS for Desktop I can snap Point Geometries to the Network either using "Add Location (Network Analyst)" or "Calculate Locations (Network Analyst)" with a subsequent "Add Location (Network Analyst)".
Either way, I may define search criteria, match type, and even a search query.

However, I can't find out how to do this using ArcGIS for Server REST API with a simple Network Service.

I have two questions.

1:
When I configure "Network Locations" (lets say "snap to first" instead of "snap to closest", and I define a search query for the Network's edges) for the Network Layer in my Map Document, prior to publishing the Network Service to ArcGIS for Server: will these settings be used when I solve a route using ArcGIS for Server REST call with x and y for my stops? Or will it always snap to closest point on an edge of the Network?

2:
Actually, I need to define different search queries each time I solve a route. Is it possible to define these snap options in the REST API call (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#/Solve_Route/02r3000000q3000000/)?
Or is it possible to use SourceID, SourceOID, PosAlong, SideOfEdge instead of x and y as stops for a route?

Kind Regards

You ever find a resolution to this?  When I define the snapping distance for the route layer in the mxd and publish - they do not seem to carry over to the published service, and I havent seen a way to control it via rest or in the service definition.

I have a network setup with lots of points that are a very significant distance off the network - some a hundred miles or more.  I cannot get a route to solve unless my point intersects with that line - exactly.

Its likely I am missing something as this NA is new to me.
