Author/Presenter: Kevin M. Gooss Organization: Timmons Group Inc. 1001 Boulders Parkway Suite 300, Richmond, VA 23225 kevin.gooss@timmons.com Presenter Biography: Mr. Gooss has been active as a Software Engineer in the GIS field for over 15 years with Timmons Group and the Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries. Following undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Biology, Kevin began working on spatial projects for government and private entities focused mainly on conservation and transportation. Although unlikely to readily admit it, he has worked with the ESRI technology stack since the Avenue/AML/ArcIMS era and has extensive knowledge in just about all ESRI-based programming technologies since. Abstract: The previous decade has seen a massive explosion in cloud-based computing technologies such as ESRI’s ArcGIS Online, Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Computing platforms. These “server-less” environments provide consistent, inexpensive, rapid development solutions that can empower the dissemination of spatial data and analyses with unprecedented efficiency and cost savings. By combining the powerful spatial capabilities of ArcGIS Online with the ease, availability and scalability of cloud-based code hosting solutions such as AWS Lambda and Azure Functions we can build powerful, inexpensive, easily-maintained GIS solutions. This talk will present an example of this “hybrid” ArcGIS Online/Cloud solution to solve a transportation infrastructure problem. The application will combine the spatial resources of ArcGIS Online with the analysis capabilities of a popular cloud-based serverless computing platform. We will discuss how this model can be extended to tackle virtually any issue in a simple, easily maintained computing environment that involves NONE of your own computers.

I have an ags service. I add the service to an agol web map. i remove a few of the layers i don't want exposed. i create a web app using the Template (Not Web AppBuilder) from the web map. i see the layers i removed. I don't want to see the layers i removed.

I am now seeing this error as well on sde 10.4.1 i believe it is recent that this has cropped up.Any resolutions out there?

‎01-20-2015

I think i figured it out. When i was adding the layer to the map in AGOL i was not going all the way down to the index of the layer, just to the featureserver url. When i drilled down to a layered index now i can see the data. But before it was showing the layers, which is a little odd.

‎01-20-2015

that was what i thought initially. i had referenced the layer when i created the map with a local machine name. But i changed it to a publicly accessible url and i am able to get to the rest service endpoint on the phone with a browser. Still not getting that layer though.

My layer is getting to the map in collector but i cannot check it on to show it. 10.2.2 Using an editable feature service based in arcgis server I can edit in arcmap and AGOL map. but when i share public and view the map in the collector app (android) i dont see any of my editable features only basemap. when i click on the layers list i do see it in there but it is unchecked and i cannot check it.

ever get any resolution? I'm facing the same issue - i don't get rubber band on zoom in tool with IE11

‎10-14-2014

I am having a similar issue with the rubber band for zooming. If i have X-UA set at Edge or IE=10 i get no rubber band in IE (with any document mode) but it is always there for firefox.

‎10-02-2014

I am seeing the same thing right now at 10.04. every get a solution or workaround?

‎10-02-2014

I am now seeing a similar issue. 10.04. Anyone find a solution?

I keep getting this message: "error": { "code": 400, "message": "Unable to complete operation.", "details": [ "The current version does not support editing (base, consistent, or closed) [An open transaction was detected. All user transactions must be closed prior to StartEditing.]" ] } } when i try to create feature via the REST endpoint on a Feature Service using the addFeatures method. It appears to be related to some kind of ArcSDE locking. This is a 10.1 arc server install using Oracle I can get the edits to work once in a while, and some times for an hour or two on end. but then it breaks again. i confirm in catalog that there are no locks on the sde connection used in the mxd for the feature service. I thought edits through the REST api would handle the opening and closing of the edit session. I never explicitly call "StartEditing" i just craft a string request in C# to send to the rest endpoint. What is going on here?

as per the documentation here, ie11 has not been certified as a 'supported' browser yet. The link you point to lists "Internet Explorer 7+" under supported browsers. 11 is more (+) than 7 so it would stand to reason that IE11 is supported or the docs are incorrect.

I understand your points, and you make several very valid ones at that. But i can't help but feel there is a little bit of role-reversal here. I am a customer of the software, I pay for the right to use the software. ESRI is the manufacturer of the software. If the manufacturer is going to change the product it is incumbent upon them to see that there is a plan for users to move forward. I'm tired of doing that part of the job for them. sde command line will be deprecated in 10.3 my workflow will no longer work, others will have the same issue there will be a patch to 10.3 to address the issue that patch will fail a fix will be promised in 10.4 10.4 will morph into 11.0 11.0 will address the issue by forcing a different workflow rather than repairing the issue. 11.1 will contain the appropriate documentation about the issue All of this could have been avoided with a right-click menu in ArcCatalog that says 'Register with Geodatabase' when i right -click on my spatial view.

One could argue that the collection of metadata on the (potential) first record in a view as opposed to the true metadata in the (singleton) spatial column of the base table that was the progenitor of said view is synonymous with proprietary software manufacturer laziness. -K

I would like to add my 2 cents to this post based on my experiences of the past few days. In the past i relied heavily on sde views - take a spatial table, create a view on it, register that with sde using the command line tools and then modify the sql of the view to join in several other, non-spatial, tables. The resulting 'sde view' is seen by esri in the same way a feature class would be. This is a very effective tool and we use it extensively. At 10.1, the idea was that sde command line tools are being mothballed. 'Most' everything you need to do will be available in Catalog, ArcMap and/or python. Well that is not entirely true in the case of spatial views. At 10.1 you can make a spatial view in ArcCatalog and it works great. So we did that, and we based ags services on map layers based on those views. Then a few days ago we started seeing issues. The services failed. ags error logs stated that ags could not recognize the geometry type of the layers in those services. The issue is that our data expires over time and we remove it from the view via a sql where clause. When that view is empty ags/sde no longer recognize it as being a view - it is just a table. So our view sql may say the value in some field must be less than 4 hours old. If no data is added to that table over 4 hours it will be empty. The service will fail and our app throws errors. Not good. The answer we are getting now is to use the command line tool to create the views and make sure they are registered with sde. Apparently with the new style views the geometry metadata is gathered on the fly from the first record in the table. That makes sense to me. But what about when there are no records? Seems like a better system would have been to get the metadata from the only spatial column in the view - the one in the base table - which is a feature class. A feature class can be empty and sde/ags still knows it is a feature class. Anyway, sde command line is not ready for the closet yet.
