Please design and implement your workflow by taking this restriction into account.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive-quote">Do you know of a way to generate a dynamic workspace for a map service on the fly?</BLOCKQUOTE><BR /><SPAN>you can always modify a service's properties to add new dynamic workspaces using ArcGIS Desktop or Manager, which requires a restart though, as you may already know.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.
