Unable to IMPORT Shapefile to ArcGISOnline Maps

TimothySmothers1

Have been attempting to import Shapefiles to an existing map in the product - it fails with any of the new ZIP's that I am attempting to load. And even fails with old ZIP's that worked previously. I have tried in IE8 and Chrome with the same message. Chrome gives a larger report (see below)

Unable to import this shapefile. (Could not connect to net.tcp://10.115.184.119:20000/AnalyzerService. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:20.9982528. TCP error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 10.115.184.119:20000. )

My load is respecting the geography of the original data source. Please advise if there is a problem with AGOL at this time for loading shapefiles. This is a personal free account and not a Beta Application import.

Tim

I should mention the shapefile is a single polygon entity (about one square mile in size) - I can supply if necessary

I'm having the same (or a similar) issue with my ArcGIS online for organizations account. Whenever I attempt to publish a feature service I get the following message:

"Publish exception 'Analyze call for publish failed for '2subw.zip', server id 'pwNwIGBE7M7VOXjQ''".

I've attempted to troubleshoot, but even zipped shapefiles that were published yesterday fail to upload.

When I try to upload the shapefile to my personal (non-organization) ArcGIS online account the .zip uploads successfully, but I can't add it to any webmaps. Any idea what might be causing this? The file is relatively small (9 features) and I can't figure out why I can't view it online.

I'm having the same issues as the above post.

We are looking into this problem.

Thanks,

Importing shapefiles is working correctly now.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Thanks so much for your response-- I appreciate it. Uploading zipped shapefiles to my personal account now works great, thanks.

I'm still having issues with publishing shapefiles as feature services using my Organizations account. The error is different than it was earlier today-- now I get "Error Invalid layer definition" when trying to publish a shapefile. If I click ok on the Error screen it takes me to the item with the "Open" dropdown grayed out.

The item then appears in My Content, but when I open the feature service again it's grayed out and says "Creating Service ..." over the icon. The file may be corrupted, but I can upload it directly to a webmap and it works correctly. I've also tried with the same zipped .shp I published as a feature service yesterday, and that fails.

Any advice? I'm happy to send data, screenshots, etc if that helps.

Thanks,

Charlie

Mike Minami

Charlie,

Can you share your zipped shapefile here? Are you having trouble with all shapefiles or just this one? I am able to create a feature service from a shapfile without problem. You are publishing this shapefile by adding it directly to "My Content", right?

Thanks,

Mike

CharlieHofmann

Mike,

Yep, I'm publishing using the My Content page, and am having the same issue (Invalid layer definition) with each .shp that I've tried to publish.

I've attached .zip of one of the shapefiles here, let me know what else you need.

Thanks,

Charlie

Update: Just checked the status of our organization, and it looks like we're way over (196%) our limit for feature storage. Could that have something to do with it? And is there a way to decrease that number? I've deleted several large feature services, but don't see a change in the storage that we're using.

Update 2: Tested the upload again and it worked. Took the feature storage gauge a little while to readjust after deleting other feature services, but it did. Now down to 144% of capacity and able to upload again. Thanks for your help Mike!

Mike Minami

Yes, that can happen when you have surpassed your storage allotment.

Thanks,

Mike

Publish exception 'Analyze call for publish failed for '25_core_union_buff.zip', server id 'ZzrwjTRez6FJiOq4''

Anyone have a solution to this issue? Six different files cannot be uploaded to arcgis online this morning. Now I will try the standard fix--shutdown and reboot!

I'm having the same problem today uploading a zip file to the my content page of an organization account. Uploads were working fine yesterday and I don not think we are even close to being over our storage limit. Here is the error code [Publish exception 'Analyze call for publish failed for 'ashley.zip', server id 'ZzrwjTRez6FJiOq4'']

SeanHarkins

I'm experiencing the same issue today with a client's ArcGIS.com account. I receive the following error when trying to publish a feature service.

Publish exception 'Analyze call for publish failed for 'Plant67_Mercator.zip', server id 'lGOekm0RsNxYnT3j''

Mike Minami

This should be working correctly now.

Thanks,

I get this error when trying to upload a file to ArcGIS Online...

Unable to import this shapefile. (The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:15:00'.)

Any ideas?

Have attached the file in question.

OK, This is now the second day I have been trying to just add a shapefile and no success. Anyone actually able to get a shapefile into this?

I am now getting this error.

Hey your Auckland2 file is corrupt, as was the one I was trying to use. I got another shapefile ziped it, and now I am able to upload it. Try zipping another shapefile.
By the way how long will we be able to use this service until we have to pay for it?

Mike Minami

@mlaudon

I was able to load your shapefile directly into a map. Are you still having a problem?

Thanks,

Mike

Your missing files in your zip. I'm not sure how mike was able to load it, but I tried and got the same error. Your zip file is missing an SBN file and an SBX file...

For others having this error, make sure you have all the required files zipped. I was successful in uploading several of my own zipped shapefiles with no issue.

I am having a same problem uploading a zipped shape file in map. It gives " Unable to import this shapefile. (Unexpected token <)" error message, can anyone help me with that. Thank you.

Hello-

Trying to upload a zipfile (attached) to arcgis online (web map) and I keep getting "Unable to import this shapefile." as an error message. Am I missing something? What is going wrong? Thanks-

Campground_Prop.zip

AdrianWelsh

Alina,

For uploading a shapefile, you have to have the entire shapefile zipped up into the zip file. From looking at your attachment, all I see is a layer file (.lyr). You need to have the other components of the shapefile (mainly, the .shp, .shx, .prj, and .dbf - but ideally more like .sbn, .xml, .cpg, .sbx, etc.).

I hope this helps.

AlinaPontynen_Luce

Well good lord. I knew that. I must have been checking the wrong version. Thanks all!

EmilioHernandez

In my case, my portal does not work and it sends me this error when using the

Add Data widget

generate features error:
Exception connect timed out

AdrianWelsh

Emilio,

Since this is an old thread, it might be a good idea to start a new thread with all of your details in order to get assistance.

RosalyneTaylor

I am having this issue now. Did any one get a solution to this? When I am adding a layer to my online map, I am getting an error message.

AdrianWelsh

Rosalyne,

It might be a good idea to start a new thread since this is an old one. It would also be helpful to write out your error message, or display a screenshot of it. (plus listing step-by-step processes of what you did helps too)

ZeynepBıyık

I am having the same problem... can any help with this issue?

Katie_Clark

Hello,

It's a bit difficult to help troubleshoot if we don't get more information. I would recommend starting a new post to describe the error message and steps taken in more detail.

One thing that comes to mind, there was this issue from recent memory involving the Chrome browser, though I'm not sure if it is still a problem or not: https://community.esri.com/thread/229303-cant-add-an-item-to-arcgis-online

Other than that shot in the dark, we really need more info to be able to help.

Best of luck!

MarkAnderson

I'm having this same issue. I still have it whether I'm using Chrome incognito mode or Internet Explorer. I am at my wits' end.
