Unable to apply edits

JamesWhisenhunt

I am trying to create an application similar to the ESRI citizen request sample. I am running into a problem where I am unable to apply my edits. The error code is:

{"error":{"code":400,"message":"Unable to complete operation.","details":["Unable to apply edits"]}}

I have:

registered the feature class as versioned
permissions have been given. I am able to edit without problem in ArcMap; is there something else I need to do.
checked to make sure editing is enabled on the service

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Now that the holidays are over I have had time to look at this again.

My problem was the ArcGISSoc account needed to have grant privileges added to the feature class. This was a very simple solution that drove me crazy for a while.

We were getting the "Update Failed" message in Collector on iOS 8 whenever we tried to edit a feature in a polygon layer. The only solution we were able to come up with was to republish the service with geometry editing disabled. You're then able to update the attributes successfully. Hopefully this issue can be addressed in a future version of Collector. For what it's worth, the green Esri iOS app exhibited the same behavior.

feature.attributes['OBJECTID'] = Number(feature.attributes['OBJECTID']);
featLayer.applyEdits (null, [feature], null);

you saved my day! Thx

I've been getting this error using the Javascript API when trying to update a feature - I was able to add one fine but could not update it.

Finally found the reason (in my case anyway), so I thought I'd pass it on.

The OBJECTID attribute needs to be a number. I was doing an identify, grabbing the feature that was returned, changing one of the attributes, and using FeatureLayer.applyEdits:
featLayer.applyEdits (null, [feature], null);

However if I converted the OBJECTID to a number first it worked fine:

feature.attributes['OBJECTID'] = Number(feature.attributes['OBJECTID']);
featLayer.applyEdits (null, [feature], null);

Hope this helps someone out there.

We are on 10.0 and using direct connections to our Oracle database so I don't think that's the issue.

Since yesterday, I've checked a number of things that searching the forums revealed might be problems and have been able to rule them out:

OBJECTID being sent as a string
Using FeatureLayerTask rather than FeatureLayer (my application is trying to update a stand alone table)
Date/Time fields removed

At this point, I've created a class that wraps HTTPService to make calls to the ../FeatureServer/table_id/updateFeatures endpoint and it works great. All efforts to use FeatureLayer/FeatureLayerTask.applyEdits() fail. Also, the ../FeatureServer/table_id/applyEdits end point fails when I provide the exact same json structure which succeeds at the /updateFeatures endpoint which seems to lend itself to this being an issue with the server, rather than the web API's, but who knows?

BTW, I have several iPad maps that can update features in different services with no problem...

Hi - I was (and still am) getting the "Unable to complete operation." error. It turns out that I simply cannot do any edits as long as I am on SDE 9.3.1

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/help/arcgis_server_dotnet_help/index.html#//00930000000m000000

ArcGIS Server 10 introduces feature services, which expose access to vector feature geometries and attributes. A great benefit of feature services is the ability to expose feature editing through JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight applications. Feature services are published from map documents, and the source datasets are required to reside in a single ArcSDE geodatabase.

So it is worth checking yours - we cannot upgrade as we still have a 3rd party MapObjects application

I know this is an older thread but I ran into the same issue today trying to use the Flex API (3.0) FeatureLayer.applyEdits(). It always fails. I used ServiceCapture to grab the parameters sent to the service and when I use the FeatureServer/tableId/applyEdits REST page, I also get an error. However, when I take the updates array from the request and use the http://myserver/arcgis/rest/service/featureserver/tableid/updateFeatures REST page, it works just fine!

I'll check to see if this was addressed in a service pack tonight.

Hopefully this helps someone! I've spent all day trying to chase this down...

Hello,

I don't know if any of this will help, but I had problems (and still do) with editing.
In order for my edits to work there are 2 things I must do.

1. Ensure my layer in SDE was created by manually adding the fields, and NOT by loading in a layer from shapefile or another SDE layer. It's crazy, and ESRI can't reproduce this behaviour, but it's true for me, I have to create a new feature class and add the fields one by one with ArcCatalog rather than importing the fields.

2. My layers in my MXD feeding the service must connect to SDE using an SDE service and NOT with Direct Connect.

It took me ages to work these out and get my editing working, but so long as I do the above in addition to the usual stuff then I can get it to work.

Mark.

2. I have connected the layers with direct connection (no sde service). I can edit the features using feature service

I have found more information on the errors I am getting...an "invalid operation" is being thrown in each case (see the log files below). Any ideas why the operation cannot be found? I am using the javascript REST API with Google Extension. Is there something I need to add to my library for version 10? The query works on featureserver, just not updatFeatures, deletefeatures, or applyedits. I use the "getJSON" method in "arcgislink" to send the command. Any suggestions for a different way to do this? The featureservice is currently a dynamic service with only 3 fields (objectid, shape, and name). It shows up correctly in the services directory under the arcmap and javascript views.

Any ideas??

Here are the logs:

HI, I am hoping that there are a few still watching this thread. I can query my featureserver and get results, but I cannot apply edits. I have tried "updateFeature", "deleteFeature", and "applyEdits" (with deletes and adds...together and separately). I just get a general "unable to apply edits" error on all attempts except for "updateFeature" during which I get an "Invalid graphic features" error. I am going to start focusing on deletes, just so that I am making things a little easier. My URL ends up being:
'myserveraddress/deleteFeatures?objectIds=4'
or

'myserveraddress/applyEdits?deletes=7'

the server address that I am using is the same one I am using to query (which works) so I am sure it is set up correctly.

This is a point featureclass in an SDE UNVERSIONED database (all documentation says I should be able to use unversioned), OS authentication, privileges are set up for ARCGISSOC, ARCGISSOC has been granted all rights in SQL, ARCGISSOC has full control over the cache folder and the database folder.

I have also deleted all fields out of the featureclasses except for a simple text field, as I have had trouble with date fields in the past on other issues, and am trying to simplify as much as possible. The featureclass has about 300 point features in it.

I have tried everything I have found in the posts. Does anyone (ESRI?) have any ideas on what else I can try? Does anyone see anything wrong with the parameters I am sending with the URL? I am not sending via proxy, at this time.

Hi James, looks like we were submitting a thread at the same time! I found the 'privileges' choice and granted edit permissions to my ArcGISSom user. I am still getting the same error... :-(.

JamesWhisenhunt

Yes there is a place in ArcCatalog to apply permissions. Right click on the feature class or if your data is in a feature dataset right click on it and choose privileges. The next box is pretty self explanatory just give the ArcGISScoc View and Edit privileges.

Hope this helps,
James

LisaT

Actually, I have found a way to "grant" permissions in ArcCatalog by right-clicking on the feature and choosing "privileges". The grant succeeds, but I am still getting an error with code 400-unable to apply edits. Just trying a simple delete for now...http of : myserverLocation/FeatureServer/0/applyEdits?deletes=3,7&callback=ags_jsonp.ags_jsonp_15_194815&f=json. I will continue trying things, but if anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated!

LisaT

Hi James,
I am hoping that you can help me. I am also trying to applyEdits with the use of the javascript REST API. I am getting an "Unable to apply edits" general error. I have seen documentation that says to apply write permissions to ARCGISSOC through the "database server" node of ArcCatalog. However, it seems as if the "database server" node works with a SQLExpress instance, not a networked SQLserver SDE geodatabase. I see that you mention "grant" permissions. I have gone into SQL, right-clicked (on the geodatabase, not on a specific featureclass table), properties, permissions tab, and checked the "grant" box for connect, delete, execute, insert, select and update. applyEdits is still not working for me. Can you tell me what I need to do to apply the proper permissions? Is there a place in ArcCatalog to set a write permission on SQL SDE...that you know of? Anything I need to do in ArcCatalog? Thanks for any direction you can give!

JamesWhisenhunt

I have not. There are a couple of things I need want to try; however, I have not had time due to the holidays.

This is my top priority after the first of the year. I will keep everyone posted.

James,
Were you able to resolve this? I have the same exact issue.

Thanks

JeffPace1

Yes they are in two projections. I really didn't think about it I just used a cached service I already had. I will make the changes and see what happens.

Thanks for the help,
James

Well it will at least be worth trying to rule out as an issue

I had it turned off. I was trying to get rid of the Objectid_1. It should work now.

Sorry about that. I ask for help then turn off the service.

OK i think i figured out your problem

According to your service

Extent:

    XMin: 5092236.84471448
    YMin: 3744333.20859535
    XMax: 5398097.78318819
    YMax: 4012334.36813001
    Spatial Reference: 3089

yet clicking on your map yields

adds [{"geometry":{"x":1477486.2739920334,"y":284517.4554125852,"spatialReference":{"wkid":2246}},"attributes":{"LastUpdate":null,"OBJECTID":null,"COUNTY":null,"Type":"Point1","Image_":null,"WebLink":null,"Comment":null,"COM":null,"EditorName":null,"requestdate":1323965159000}}]

Different Spatial reference, invalid xmin,etc.. is there a reason you are in two different coord systems?

It doesn't look like you are actually using a proxy for the POST. That's probably not it but just an fyi.

I wonder if your OBJECTID_1 field name is causing some confusion. It might be looking at your other field named OBJECTID which is null. That might cause an incorrect parameter error.

Before you get too frustrating with editing, your service doesnt work at all! you cant even query it

http://agis21.frankfort.ky.gov/ArcGIS2/rest/services/WebEdits/FeatureServer/0/query?objectIds=1&where=&time=&geometry=&geometryType=esriGeometryEnvelope&inSR=&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&relationParam=&outFields=*&returnGeometry=true&outSR=&returnCountOnly=false&returnIdsOnly=false&f=html

returns "Unable to perform query"

right from the rest service, no web app involved.

Thanks guys for the help. The webpage I am trying to create is located http://agis21.frankfort.ky.gov/mobile/franklinmobile.html which should have all the information you need.

I am trying to edit a new feature class in a new feature dataset. There are no class extensions installed. I looked at the server log file and it gives me this error:

Method failed.HRESULT = 0x80070057 : The parameter is incorrect. .

Could this be a IIS configuration issue or a proxy issue?

As always thanks for the help,
James

Anonymous User

I had this same issue where I was able to edit in ArcMap but not through the feature service. I received the same error message ("Unable to apply edits") from the response and the error in the server log file was "This is a FACILITY_ITF error that is specific to the interface that returned this error. See the documentation of the interface that returned this error for information about this HRESULT."

Our feature class was contained within a feature dataset that had other feature classes with object class extensions. Removing the feature class from the feature dataset resolved the issue even though the feature class being edited did not have a class extension.

Hope this helps,
Jeff

JeffPace1

Thanks for the reply; however, I don't think that is my problem. I am just adding a point feature so the geometry is not very big.

This proxy is the same as I have used on other servers so I think it is also configured correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

CAn you post some code?

Edits can frequently exceed the size of a GET, and may switch to a POST if the geometries are large. Make sure you have your proxy set up if that is the case.
