Publishing a Feature Layer through ArcServer

Question

Hello

I am trying to publish a feature layer through our ArcServer.  I believe, in the past, if I have a shapefile in ArcMap I can share as a Service through ArcServer and the layer will appear in AGOL as a Feature Service.  Recently however, every time I try this, the layer appears as a Map Image Layer in AGOL, not a Feature Service.

Any idea what may be happening here?

Hi Rob,

In order to publish a Feature Service, the data must exist in an enterprise geodatabase.  During the publishing process, you will want to check on 'Feature Access' under capabilities.  If the data does not reside in an enterprise geodatabase, you will receive an error.
