Is it possible to change the Max Record Count on an AGOL hosted Feature service?

MiguelParedes

Greetings AGOL fans,

NOTE: I'm playing the role of a user that has no access to other Esri software.

I'm adding a shapefile to My Content, using "Add Item". This will result in a Feature service. After the service is created, when I check its properties, the Max Record Count is set to 2000. Is it possible to increase this parameter?

Many thanks in advance.

No need to adjust max record count. Client applications are smart enough to fetch data in spatial tiles and paginate as needed.

That is brilliant Mike,

It does exactly what I needed. More over, you have given me the knowledge that, in a similar way, there are other fine tuning things that can be done to hosted feature services, which I didn't think were possible.

I much appreciate your help.

Mike Minami

Be careful here...you can also easily corrupt things...

Mike, many thanks for the advice and the additional warning. Yes we will use the capability with care, and I will advice the same to anyone we inform of this "advanced" hidden capability.

By the way, you did mention "... this is something we do want to expose." Do you have any idea when would access to this "exposure" would be made available?

It's tied in to other enhancements related to managing hosted services...probably 6 months away, but don't quote me.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Is this capabilities described here still available?

I also want to change the max record count on an ArcGIS Online hosted feature service.
So, I followed steps above but could not find the word "update definition."

Anyone know?

Do you own the service? Are you logged in? it's there for me on services I own.

THanks,

Mike

Hi Mike.

I have tried your solution - and for some things it works great. Right now I have allmost 4.000 polygons, covering the most of Denmark.

I have made your modification as you see:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]32766[/ATTACH]

And the map is doing great in the online mapviewer:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]32767[/ATTACH]

The problem occurs when i want to edit the layer through ArcMap. It seems that the service keeps the limit on 1.000 records when adding the features from the folder "My hosted services" in ArcCatalog. As you can see, it only adds 1.000 records:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]32768[/ATTACH]

And the attributetabel:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]32769[/ATTACH]

My questions are:

1. What is it exactly that that the changes in the service does?
2. Is there another work around to support this workflow?

I hope to hear from you.

Hello Mike,

I have used this method before to update a feature service but now I can't access the update service ability. Can you confirm if your method is still working ?

Thank you

Lars,

Did you manage to get past the 1000 record problem ?

This functionality appears to be no longer available? I AM an owner of the content I'm trying to increase the record count for. Has the functionality been removed? Not much use for AGOL if limited to just 1000 features. What organization has less than 1000 manholes, or telephone poles, in their jurisdiction? Creating a replica of the entire AOI...only returns 1000 features. Disappointing.

Here is the latest article on how to expand the maxRecordCount in ArcGIS Online:

https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000012383

This is a good way to expand the results in tools like the WebApp Builder Query widget. But there is a trade-off between increasing results and performance, so use with caution.

Mike Minami

I'd like to emphasize that, while you can increase the max record count of the service, it's not a recommended practice. Most of Esri's current client apps don't use this setting and already fetch data in spatial tiles and paginate as needed. There are some specific cases where it may help, for example, with ArcMap, as mentioned in the support article.

Thanks,

Mike
