Collector + attachments = error

RoyceSimpson

I've got a feature service hosted by at 10.3 AGS cluster with an Oracle 11g SDE 10.3 backend.

I'm trying to get this feature service to work offline with Collector. So far, everything is working online and I can download and sync offline via Collector, except when my offline edits contain attachments. I then get AGS errors as follows:

I've checked and rechecked the myriad of "data/map prep requirements" for going offline. I even created an all new points feature service following the instructions to the letter and still get the same set of errors when attachments are involved.

Thanks much for the help.

Attachments have been syncing fine for us in a connected environment as of yesterday, but I haven't tried disconnected attachment syncs. We've got some proxy and secure services issues we are trying to resolve between our server and our agol portal When that's done, we can get back at collector in disconnected fashion.

We've been using Collector to edit data we stored in the AGOL cloud for an Alarm Line system that was mapped using Collector and ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.2. Attachments and edits suddenly started failing about two weeks ago. We are about to try and host it on our ArcGIS for Server as a feature service with an SQL backend server but this makes me wonder if even that will work to help remedy the issues with attachments or just complicate things based on your comments here.

CarlosKrefft

Did you ever get it working. Same thing is happening to me.

DavidColey

sounds good

RoyceSimpson

Hi David,

Thanks for looking into it. I did try out a versioned workflow but neglected to test the offline attachment issue. Keep me informed. I guess I could try that out again but I'm thinking that 99% of all our Offline/Collector related workflows will not using versioning so really, I need to get this fixed with the non-versioned, enabled archiving workflow. By the way, I have opened a ticket with esri. I'll update here as needed.

DavidColey

Hey Royce - I just got my production environment updated to 10.3 and am itching to get started with collector now that it will support versioned edits. Since I think we have similar architecture I'll get back to you and the community on this post with any findings...

Thanks

David

I tested 10.3 AGS server with an Oracle 11.2.04 SDE 10.3 backend. I can't reproduce the issue. You can contact the support to further debug.

RoyceSimpson

The attachment created in Collector.

Android LG G2 KK 4.4.4 Verizon.

After I deleted then recreated the archive, I restarted the feature service, redownloaded the map in Collector, collected a new point, added a photo attachment, got out of the map, synced... error.

One attachment.

MiaogengZhang

Is it in iOS or Android?

When you try deleting archive and recreating it, do you test from scratch (download the map again and add attachment then sync)?

How many attachments are you trying to sync?

MiaogengZhang

Do you already have existing attachment in Oracle and it is newly created feature class? I am wondering this attachment with [GUID: 6DB524F2-02DC-496A-BE9A-C9623EF1B4B6] from Collector or it is the existing attachment?

RoyceSimpson

One thing to note is that when sync the edits in collector, all the edits make it back to the geodatabase fine, including attachments. If it weren't for the error in collector and all the "severe" log entries in AGS, I would think the sync is working just fine. Perhaps the issue lies in the sync process attempting to correctly bring any changes to the geoDB since last sync onto my device. That's only speculation.

RoyceSimpson

Hi Miaogeng,

Thanks, I was hopeful about that as a solution but the errors persist even after doing as you suggest.

MiaogengZhang

I found this Archiving Problems with Offline Support has similar issue. You might want to try deleting archive and recreating it.

RoyceSimpson

I've made sure that the feature service was saved in AGOL without storing the feature service credentials. Still same errors as above.
