Problems with time aware feature service

joshuareyling1

Hi all and thanks in advance.

I am having a hard time getting a time aware feature service running on arcgis online. I enable time aware on my data in arcmap, and set up the time window, but when I publish as a feature service the resulting service contains no data! There are only 116 features, and the time slider works correctly in arcmap- the time slider even shows up in an online map with the service added- but the table for the service is empty. Anyone else have a problem like this?

Hi,

Is it possible for you to share the feature service?

Thanks,
Dhrumil

joshuareyling1

yes, of course.

Here is the REST location:
http://services.arcgis.com/rg9AaGGWmMwctQBj/arcgis/rest/services/travel_times_AM/FeatureServer/0

and here is the service in the map viewer:
http://nfrmpo.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?services=12c02daa69274752894f67c030e9a72e

I apologize for not adding them before; I deleted the service, as my company is working with credits at the moment...

thanks much,
Joshua

Thanks Joshua. Looks like the data was not loaded at all to the feature service.
Can you share the original map document or the service definition item, under my contents on the website?
I am suspecting that there might be something specific in the data set you used, that caused the feature service to not load the data correctly.

Thanks,
Dhrumil

I'm also having a hard time figure out how to do this. I can get it to work in arcmap, but I cant find the time settings in GIS when I upload it as a feature service. I uploaded it as a zipped shapefile, just like I have for the other feature services I've created. Is there anything different about uploading a time aware shapefile? If so, are there some instructions some where on how to do so?

Thanks

When you publish a time aware feature service from ArcMap, the time information is passed to the server by ArcMap.
Once you publish a time aware shape file, you need to go to the items page and configure time settings to make the service time aware.

Thanks. That's helpful.

I am also having a similar problem. When I export a time aware shapefile from arcgis desktop, it doesn't continue to be time aware. It doesn't show up when I add it to arcgis online. Even when I added the exported shapefile back into Desktop, it is not time aware. Any ideas on what is causing this?

KyleWalker1

Did anyone ever solve this original issue? Like the original poster, when I publish a time-aware hosted feature service, my service contains no features. When I publish the service without enabling time in ArcMap, the features do get published - so I'm wondering if it has something to do with how ArcGIS Online is publishing the time-enabled services. Is this a bug, or is there a common step that we're missing?

Same problem here. Time -enable works fine in ArcMap, time -slider shows up in ARcgis online, but no features show up during playing or manipulation of slider.

Can you share the URL to your service? You'll need to share the item publicly.

Thanks,

Mike

I cant share it publicly. this is proprietary infrastructure data.

I too am having the same problems.

When I create a feature service including time enabled data from ArcGIS then the feature service that is created is blank when added to the AGOL map. However, the feature service thumbnail shows exactly what I would expect to see in the map!

If I disable the time settings, the features still do not display. The attribute tables are blank

Any suggestions?

Matt

Same problems here. Time slider shows up in the map, but no features display. My Content thumbnail will display the time-aware features, but the map won't. Other feature services that are not time-aware services work just fine.

This appears to be a fairly common issue....

MikeMinamiP1

It may be that the features didn't load correctly in the feature service. Check this post to check if there are actually any features in your feature service.

The problem in the above case was the name used for the service.

Thanks,

I have the same problem as everyone else with publishing a time enabled point feature service from ArcMap 10.1. It says the layer is there but it will not render. If I publish the same dataset from Arc Map 10.1 as a feature service but not time enabled it will draw. It is a very large dataset with 48,000 records. Is that just too big to display even when only displaying at large scales? I checked the features count with the query option and the count is 0. This is the Rest URL http://services1.arcgis.com/MA2nPVLxVTdAZLej/arcgis/rest/services/Residential_Permits/FeatureServer/0

I had the same issue. Converting my date field from long to date type fixed the issue.

TonyViveiros1

Hello...thanks Jarrod for posting. I also experienced the same issue with a file geodatabase feature class published from ArcMap 10.4.1 to AGOL having zero records. My initial time field was a short integer representing year (e.g. 2016). I converted this into a Date field using the Convert Time Field tool in ArcMap, then enabled time on the layer from the properties by pointing to the new converted Date time field. Upon publishing this, I now had all time enabled records in AGOL.
