Survey publishing error: supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds

snakata

I am currently trying to publish a survey with a custom SDE-based feature service. The service includes the point feature layer with a related table (relationship via a GUID; for repeats);the related table has attachments enabled.

The submission url in the form has been edited to that of the feature service, so something like:

http://utility.arcgis.com/usrsvcs/servers/.../rest/services/[FolderName]/[ServiceName]/FeatureServer

When attempting to publish the survey I receive the error:

The custom feature service submission url is not compatible with this survey (The feature service does not meet the requirements for a survey with repeats - supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds)

I have not been able to find much about this particular error online--anyone who overcame a similar issue? The error message seems to indicate an issue with the relationship to the related table? But I was able to publish a survey with this database structure previously with no problems. I have also tried to publish the survey with a GLOBAL ID-based relationship, but this also did not work.

Thanks all.

Hi Becky - the property "supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds" cannot be enabled on versioned services. This is a feature service limitation.

BeckyGerlach

John,

Did you ever get a work-around or get this working? I am in the same situation with the versioned SDE.

Hi Dan

Can you share a print screen of the error you are getting? The issue should not relate to the 3.0.

I would like to get access to the survey and service if possible - can you email me at jhasthorpe@esri.com?

Thanks

John

Hi John, unfortunately the "supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds" is true, but the form still won't submit. Strange. It is a basic form, no repeats or anything like that, although it does have photo option. It was created using the web designer in September 2016.

Thanks John,

Can you please provide the link to where this was documented to your users, I don't see it in the What's New.

Thanks

Hi Dan

We made a change to 3.0 that requires all services to supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds (this should be true).

You will need to enable this capability on your service.

Feature Layers and supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds: Starting with version 3.0 you will no longer be able to submit surveys or publish/republish a survey against a feature service that does not have the supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds property set to true. While this requirement is not new, we previously only enforced it for surveys with repeats. It is therefore possible that your existing ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise feature services don’t have this capability– so please check them to ensure that they will work when you update. The easiest way to enable this property is to simply enable the sync capability (Synchronization) on your feature service. Please follow instructions in the Allow offline editing or collaboration section of the Manage hosted feature layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS help topic for details on how to enable the sync capability. If working with ArcGIS Server, remember that you cannot turn on sync if your data is versioned or if your layer lacks an indexed GlobalID field.

Thanks

John

I have started getting this error on one of my surveys (it is very old, was created in the web generator) and I use it for device testing and has become a good test survey.

I upgraded to version three of the iOS app on my phone yesterday and now i can't submit the responses and i get this error (supportsApplyEdits). my iPad hasn't been updated and I can still submit responses to the same survey without a problem.

I have tested another survey on my phone and I am able to submit without problems. seems a bit strange to me. Any ideas?

JohnHasthorpe

Please feel free to email me at jhasthorpe@esri.com - send through your survey xls and I'll take a look.

This should be the form with buildings and inspections.

Thanks

Hi Paul - you will need to build the relationship based on GlobalID for the parent featureclass and GUID for the child table (you will need to create this).

PaulCone2

Thank you James -- I'm pretty sure it's because I neglected to update the relationship with the inspections attachments (i.e. photos) to use GlobalIDs instead of OBJECTIDs. So do I use GlobalID on both, or do I have to set up a GUID field on the latter? I'm still a little murky on GlobalID vs GUID. I found this post but it doesn't completely answer the question...

https://www.reddit.com/r/gis/comments/2qqoib/arcmap_guid_vs_global_id/

JamesTedrick

Per Layer (Feature Service)—ArcGIS REST API: Services Directory | ArcGIS for Developers :

supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds will be true if the layer supports applying edits where globalid values provided by the client are used. In order for supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds to be true, layers must have a globalid column and have isDataVersioned as false. Layers with hasAttachments as true additionally require attachments with globalids and attachments related to features via the features globalid.

The two things to check would be versioning and if the attachments are set up to use globalids.

I'm stuck on this error, too. I have a service (used for building inspections) that I have been using on Collector for a couple of years, and now I'm trying to transition to Survey123. I created a new survey using that service, but then as I was working on it in Connect, adding logic to the form and such, it became apparent that I would need to create a new service because of the way the logic needed to work against the schema. So I modified my source file geodatabase and then I recreated the join using GlobalID and GUID, and then created a new service. But I don't want to lose all the work I did on the form so I am trying to publish the form into the new service, but then I get the error. I've double-checked the join and Sync is set but I still get supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds as false and it won't go. What else is there to check?

Paul

P.S. I'm running beta 2.7.13.

Hi Scott

The correct url is: .https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/5c312f83a4d4420ba1d70441b9986eb3

This will ensure that you don't get the serviceItemId error.

If you go into the the service url and then view it in JSON:

Can you check the status of the of following property:

"supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds"

It sounds like this is set to false when it should be set to true - please confirm.

To enable, you should make sure you follow the guidance here: Use Survey123 with existing feature services—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

You will need to check the layers in the feature service have a globalid column with a unique index. This will need to be done by looking at the data layers in desktop before publishing the service.

In terms of the sync capability - this only works if enabled in desktop on publishing (not in ArcGIS Online).

Thanks
John

Hi John,

Thank you for your response.

I set the Enable Sync and confirmed the feature layer is not versioned; however, the supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalId message still appeared with the automatically generated submission_url.

I pasted the URL of the service item to replace the automatically generated URL and the supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalId message no longer appeared; however, another message, Request error Missing serviceItemId appeared (please see attached screen shots showing the different URLs and error messages).

Any idea on what is causing this? Why do you think supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalId appeared, even after setting Enable Sync and confirming the feature layer is not versioned? Thanks in advance.

Best,

Scott

Hi Scott

When defining the submission_url for a survey - you need to paste in the url of the service item, not the actual service url. Also, the error message you are getting indicates that the service does not have the property of supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalId set to true.

For a feature service to support applying edits with Global IDs, the following requirements must be met:

The layers in the feature service must have a globalid column with a unique index.
The data cannot be versioned.

A quick way of implementing the above is to enable the sync capability on publishing the feature service. Once you do this you should be able to publish the survey in connect.

Cheers

Hi Scott,

In my case it was not a URL issue but rather an ArcGIS for Server version issue--supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIds error did not go away, because related tables are not supported pre 10.3, in our case.

ScottLew2

I also got a similar error, please see attached showing screen shots for reference.

I have a hosted feature layer on our organization’s AGO site. The layer has a related table which uses GlobalID's for the relationship – it was made using methodology described here.

Screen shot #1 shows the error, so I went to Apply Edits from the Supported Operations section at the bottom of the respective Service URL pages for the layer and related table (screen shots #2 and #3, which appears similar to this.

I selected "True" for Use GlobalIds for both and applied edits, but this didn't save the "True" setting.

Will having the Use GlobalIds set to "True" solve the issue and what role does the note on top "This operation is only supported via POST" play as far as publishing in Survey123?

As far as the submission_url on the Excel settings tab, the automatically generated URL is - https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/0d7f1a3e66304036a69c52aa1d1c640e

The URL obtained from the item details page, as described here, is -

https://services1.arcgis.com/8CpMUd3fdw6aXef7/arcgis/rest/services/Controller_Related_Table/FeatureServer

The error message comes up when I use either of the URLs. Which URL should be used in order to publish in Survey123?

Thank you in advance.

Having noticed some other users having a similar issue, I thought it might be worthwhile to mention that my particular issue was traced back to ArcServer compatibility (related tables only supported with ArcServer 10.3.1+ using the lastest Survey123 version).

(For the record, I was not trying to use versioned data, so that wasn't a factor in my instance of the error.)

James ~ I also have this problem. I checked my data and I have Global IDs and the feature service is set to sync. However, in the documentation you referenced, it says "The data cannot be versioned." Why is that the case? That's going to be a problem for us. Do you have a suggested work-around so we can continue to use a feature service that's linked to a versioned SDE? Thank you.

John

Hi Samantha,

Please refer to Use Survey123 with existing feature services—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for more information on feature service configuration. The easiest way to have a service compatible with Survey123 is to enable the 'Sync' operation on the Feature Service- this will set up the properties for the applyEditsWithGlobalIds to be true. If you can't get this property enabled, it's likely you've missed a configuration setting, such as ensuring that the service has a gloablid field.
