First I would check to see the status of your services using the mcsServiceStatus endpoint.  Here is an example using our demo service https://nsdemo.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/SampleWorldCities/MapServer/exts/MaritimeChartService/MapServer/mcsServiceStatus  You want the status to be "Ready" if it is in the "Cataloging" state, then it is still processing the datasets and creating or re-creating your senc files.  During the upgrade process if you didn't delete your existing senc files before restarting your map service, after updating the SOE, then it will rebuild everything since the internal senc id has changed due the the new version of the SOE.  This process takes longer than the normal build time. If you are in the ready state and still cannot view any datasets when you load your service into a map, please let me know.  We can have a DM chat.  I'm the Product Owner for this extension and would be happy to step through your setup with you.   ...

Hi @faris_sofi, At ArcGIS Pro 3.6, Esri implemented native support for viewing S-101 datasets using the ENC Layer functionality similar to how it handles S-57 datasets.  As we continue to build out support for S-100 products, Enterprise support similar to Maritime Server will come followed by runtime. ...

Hi Jeremy, The MapServer endpoint for ArcGIS Maritime Server's Maritime Chart Service capability is only seen as one Layer by the endpoint.  We do have sub-layers, which is what you see in the table of contents and you can turn those on/off individually but you cannot load them individually.    This is by design to support portrayal. However, if you use our WMSServer endpoint, you can load individual sub-layers.   The example shown is in ArcGIS Pro.  I've added NOAA's ENC Online WMSSever endpoint using a WMS connection.    https://gis.charttools.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/MCS/ENCOnline/MapServer/exts/MaritimeChartService/WMSServer This allows you to add one or more of the sub-layers to your map.  This could also be done in your app. If you are unable to use WMS, then the other options is to create a dedicated map service that only has Data Quality as a sub-layer.   There is a sample in the S52DisplayProperties.xml (ViewOverGroups_Sample4) that shows this for Soundings.  Change the range value to be 31010 as shown below and make that your active OverViewGroups.   A secondary map service can share the same datasets folder as descripted in this help topic.   <ParameterGroup name="ViewOverGroups" defaultVisibility="false"> <ViewOverGroupsDescription>This example allows you to create a single feature layer of data quality that can be turned on/off within your service.  The rest of the service information is suppressed.  This example supports multiple feature layers.   </ViewOverGroupsDescription> <Parameter name="0" type="E" default="2" value="2" range="31010">         <Description>Information about the chart display</Description>         <ExpectedInput code="1" value="False"/>         <ExpectedInput code="2" value="True"/>       </Parameter> </ParameterGroup>   Please email me directly if you have any additional questions.   Thanks, Tom ...

@Mike_Espey  There is no requirement to have an ArcGIS Maritime license to use the ENC Layer functionality in ArcGIS Pro.    Also, with ArcGIS Pro 3.2, pop-ups have been automatically enabled by default for the ENC Layer. ... View more

@MarcelSt-Germain - are you able to provide a screen shot of what you are doing? ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.3 has a lot of improvements to the ENC Layer functionality.   I believe the introduction of sublayers and the ability to 'Make Feature Layer from Sublayer' allows you to have more control of the symbology and labels of those features.  It also allows you to leverage the feature's geometry in various editing operations. Please let us know of these enhancements at ArcGIS Pro 3.3 do not address your workflow needs.     ... View more

Hi Ross, Esri does not provide the chart data.  You can purchase this through Admiralty Maritime Data Solutions by finding a local distributor https://www.admiralty.co.uk/how-to-buy?title=&field_new_avcsonline_value%5B1%5D=1 There are vector as well as raster options but it typically comes down to the license agreement and what you are trying to do with the data.    Are you looking for vector data to load into a geodatabase for analysis?  Or are you looking for raster data as a web service that you can use as a basemap?    Here's a public site from NOAA  that displays S-57 ENC datasets as web services.  You can search NOAA ENC Online in ArcGIS Pro's catalogue pane to load this MapServer into your project as an example.  This service uses the ArcGIS Maritime Server Extension.   The ArcGIS Maritime Server Extension can also load the UKHO AVCS S-63 datasets if you require hosting them yourself.   Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Yes, maritime@esri.com is correct.   I sent you my email in a direct message if you still need to contact me. ... View more

Hello, Great to hear that you have successfully extended the ArcGIS Maritime desktop solution to include your extra objects and attributes. If by viewing in ArcGIS Pro, you mean the ENC Layer, there is no current capability to extend the portrayal.  However, you can extend the the S57DataDictionary.xml and S52 lookup tables.  By default, they are located at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ENC    You can add your new objects and attributes to the S57DataDictionary.xml.  This will allow them to be recognized when using the Explore tool.    You can update the lookup tables to include your new objects and potential attribute combinations as well.  By default the new objects will display as magenta "?" symbols if not found in those tables.  Since you are unable to add new symbols, you will have to use an existing symbol in the lookup table to display the feature.   If you require more detailed steps on how to do this, then please email the maritime team at maritime@esri.com and I can assist.   As for ArcGIS Maritime Server, you can extend and add new S-52 symbols.   Similar to the ENC Layer in Pro, you have the S57DataDictionary.xml and S52 lookup tables.   By default, they are located at C:\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\maritimechartservice\controlfiles    As for S-52 symbols, you will need to create them yourself, we do not have an S-52 symbol editor, nor do I know where one exists.   I do know other people have created symbols and plugged them into our solution.  Some just took an existing symbol and modified the values.  My recommendation is to do that and review the S-52 documentation on symbology for guidance.  S-52 PresLib Ed 4.0.3 Part I_Clean.pdf and S-52 PresLib Ed 4.0.3 Part I Addendum_Clean.pdf.  Refer to https://iho.int/en/standards-and-specifications if you don't have those documents. Once you create the new symbols you just put them in the symshow folder, default location is C:\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\maritimechartservice\controlfiles\S52PresentationLibrary\symshow and link them to your new entries in the S-52 lookup tables you modified.  C:\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\maritimechartservice\controlfiles\S52PresentationLibrary\lookup If you are adding new S-57 Objects, those objects when entered into the S-52 lookup tables will need to be assigned a view group.  If you create new view groups, then you will need to make sure those values are also added to the S52DisplayProperties.xml file at the bottom in the ViewingGroups sections.   Then verify they are in an existing range under the ParameterGroup name = ViewOverGroups.  This defines the layers that are created when you start the Maritime Chart Service's map service.  If they are not part of one of the layers, then those features cannot be turned off in the display.  This is all part of S-52 and defined in the documents I mentioned.   In order to see the new symbols, you must delete and rebuild your senc files.   If you require more detailed steps on how to do this, then please email the maritime team at maritime@esri.com and I can assist.

Hi Songqin,  I sent you a direct message on this.  Please see that message and contact me directly to discuss if this is still an issue.   Any resolution will be posted here for the general community. ... View more

What version of ArcGIS Pro (with patches) and ArcGIS Maritime server extension with patches are you using in this scenario?     Can you load the associated MapServer endpoint into your map and access the display properties? In your Catalog pane, through Portal, search ArcGIS Online using "esrimaritime wms" and load the ChartOnDemand ENC WMS service.  Does that work?   ... View more

Hello, I just sent you a private message to connect on this issue.  I believe it has to do with two incompatible file structures that are causing our cataloging process to miss some of the update files.  In either case I'll need to discuss this over the phone to work through a few scenarios with you. Thanks, Tom ... View more
