The changes on the mxd file are not reflected in its published service,

The mxd file is shared as service as shown in the screenshot below:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]20149[/ATTACH]

After that, some changes took place on the mxd file. Those changes are not automatically reflected on its service. How to update the service so that all the changes on the original mxd file are reflected on the published version?

Thank you for the answer

Simply updating the mxd will not update the service.

I believe that you have to literally overwrite the service, i.e. republish it.

Thank you Richard for the help.

Sounds that overwriting is not possible neither.

Do I need to delete the previously created service? And how does this affect the one saved before?
Does the �??ArcGIS Server manager�?� and the �??ArcGIS viewer for flex�?� understands this and thus I don�??t need to start from scratch in designing the web application?

Jamal,

In order for your changes to be reflected in your service you need to refresh/restart your service after you have saved your mxd. For these changes to also make there way to your flex application you also need to clear your arcgis rest cache.

Changes in the service should not effect your application unless you have reordered some of your layers, or added new layers or removed layers in your mxd. If so any of your widgets that are configured against particular layer numbers ( I.e. your search widget) may need changing.

Here is the help article which discusses this:

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//015400000297000000

I don't have access to ArcMap at the moment so I can't send you a screen shot. I have seen the overwrite before.
You might check the ArcMap (not ArcCatalog) File menu.

As Anthony mentioned, you'll just have to restart your service after saving the mxd, not trying to re-publish the service with the same name. In addition, you might have to login to the REST Admin if you're not using ArcGIS 10.1 yet (http://yourmapservice/ArcGIS/rest/admin) and clear the cache. See here for more information.

Thank you guys for the help.

I couldn�??t know how to clear the cashe!

I tried to access the link below
http://localhost:6080/admin/system/handlers/rest/cache/clear
but nothing come up!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]20249[/ATTACH]

Also accessing the �??ArcGIS REST Services Directory�?� doesn�??t require any credentials (usernsme/password) as the �??ArcGIS Server Manager�?� does.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]20250[/ATTACH]

However, the �??overwrite an existing service�?� option is a satisfactory alternative to reflect the changes of the mxd on its service

Jamal,

You are using 10.1 and I don't believe that you need to clear the cache.

Many thanks Richard.

Then the most efficient option to transfer the changes in the mxd to its msd (service) is to use the �??overwrite an existing service�?�. Is that correct?

In the .Net web application builder, we need also to click �??restart�?� to transfer the effects of changes on the web application. Refresh is not sufficient!

If I were you, I'd migrate away from the Web ADF application in favor of the newer platforms:

ArcGIS Viewer for Flex

ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight

Many thanks Jonathan for the answer,

I would love to migrate to the flex and Silverlight but both of them are still missing the very basic tools/functions/features that the Web ADF application already has!

Which benefits should I gain from this migration at this moment? It is like a desert there!

What I can do with flex/silverlight with no sufficient tools? I�??m talking here about the very basic functions!

Please, have a look on the bunch of threads that I have just posted on the Silverlight forum looking for tools/settings/options that may help doing some very basic functions

Just very recently I got tools from experts on the forum that can
