Identify task returning extra results

JillianStanford

Hi,

I'm having an issue where the identify task seems to be returning records for layers that I have not specified. Sometimes it will return records for the same layer twice.

My request looks like this: //[server_name]/arcgis/rest/services/[service_name]/MapServer/identify?geometry={"x":-9857097.368979331,"y":5159521.918742495,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100}}&geometryType=esriGeometryPoint&sr=102100&layers=visible:5,139,22,135,133,24,25,28,141,73,115&layerDefs=&time=&layerTimeOptions=&tolerance=5&mapExtent={"xmin":-9912437.77745782,"ymin":5112742.457431949,"xmax":-9766901.675602788,"ymax":5190861.1003394285,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100}}&imageDisplay=952,511,96&returnGeometry=true

So, I'm requesting layers 5,139,22,135,133,24,25,28,141,73,115 only.

But my results look like this (attributes and geometry removed for brevity):

{

    "results": [{

        "layerId": 139,

        "layerName": "2016 TIP Points"

    }, {

        "layerId": 6,

        "layerName": " 2013 TIP Points"

    }, {

        "layerId": 139,

        "layerName": "2016 TIP Points"

    }, {

        "layerId": 73,

        "layerName": "Road Jurisdiction"

    }, {

        "layerId": 73,

        "layerName": "Road Jurisdiction"

    }, {

        "layerId": 115,

        "layerName": "County"

    }]

}

So, why am I getting results for layer 6 and layer 139 and 73 twice (there is only one feature there)? If I identify at a different location I get a different set of extra layers being queried.

Any ideas? Am I not using the Layers parameter correctly?

Thanks!

Are any of the layers you're requesting a group layer instead of an actual data layer? Including the group layer will give you a return with features from all of its members, not just the ones you specify.
