Retrieving attachments from ArcGIS.com after collecting them

PeterTimmers

I'm lost on how we retrieve attachments from ArcGIS.com.

We've got one or more photos with our Collector points and I can't see where we can download them.

ArcMap allows you to export the feature class from our Hosted Services. No attachments come with it.

Any ideas guys?

ArcMap 10.1 doesn't support downloading attachments. This has been addressed in ArcMap 10.2

Thanks,

Thanks, looking forward to that. Looking forward to lines and polygons, and offline in Collector too.

Hi Mike,

I have 10.2 and am having the same issue -- I have a line feature service of ROAD CONDITIONS with attachment capabilities enabled.I have a photo attached to a segment and want to extract the feature service to a feature class with the attachment preserved. When I open this feature class in Arc Map, I don't see an attachment field.

You mention this is possible in 10.2, just looking for a direction to take. Thanks!

The attachments will show up in a table in the geodatabase not under an attribute in the feature class. You can see the attachments in that table or when you identify the feature you will see the attachments in that "popup".

So in that regard. I'm sure photos take up space in the cloud and hence credits. So when I am done with a particular project how do I delete them from my account?

Still not seeing them, don't know what I'm doing wrong.

My process:

In my AGOL webmap I "PREFORM ANALYSIS" on my line feature service with attachments enabled > MANAGE DATA > EXTRACT DATA > to a File Geodatabase.zip

In ArcMap I try to add this new File Geodatabase and all I see is the line feature class under the GDB...with no accompanied table. When I info, there is no sign of my image popping up or hyperlinked.

Anything jumping out at you based on my process? I gotta be doing something simple wrong... Im positive my feature service has image attachments.

Thanks!

When you use the Identity tool in Arcmap and select the feature, do you see attachments on the left side of the Identity window? Looks like a paper clip and says attachments

SamKrueger1

Negative.

I thought my process of extracting my AGOL feature service content to a FGDB was correct.

Somewhere in the process the attachments are not retained...

Stumped. I really don't know what the deal is.

I would add the hosted service into desktop 10.2 and create a local copy for editing. You can do this by right clicking on the service layer and click on edit and you will see the option to create a local copy. This workflow should get your feature and attachments down.

Russ

SamKrueger1

Ah yes,

I forgot that in 10.2 you can directly import your AGOL hosted feature services from catalog...your method worked.

May have spoken a little soon,

When I convert it to a local copy...It looks like the attachments no longer exists...

Sam

RussRoberts

Did you enable sync on the layer? Does it have gloabid field? There was a desktop issue with local copies and having the globalid field that I believe is addressed in 10.2.1.

Russ

SamKrueger1

Yes, Sync was enabled within the feature service, and I also see the GlobalID field within my attribute table once I open it in Arc Map....

I guess I will have to give it a try when 10.2.1 comes out!

I'm not sure what else my "work around" will be in getting pictures collected with the app to show up in ArcMap

Thanks for the response.

Hi All, our workflow for doing this is:
Share the feature service publically so you can access the service url (you can lock it back up once you have created the replica)
Enable sync on the service so that a replica can be generated
Navigate to the service url (not the layer level, the feature server level)
Scroll down and �??Create Replica�?? should be one of the functions you can perform �?? click on it to open the form
Complete the form as you would normally �?? see this help link http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/fscreatereplica.html

When you click �??Create replica�?? to submit the form, you will be returned a .zip file (either embedded download or a url will be returned for you to navigate to). Download, unzip and there�??s your file geodatabase with feature class inside.

There is also an application that will do this for you which we are currently testing. Hope this helps.

I've used the above method of creating a replica with mixed results. Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting problem services (ie only some of the attachments are preserved)?

Thanks

Update: It seems there is a bug that only allows the method to work for 100 features per replica at times.
