Only 500 records returned in query

DavidElies — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:19:12 GMT

I'm using a query to return features to a GraphicLayer. I have already set the MaxRecordCount for the map service config file, but I never get more than 500 records. Please help me to get more than 500 records in a single query!

If you use Arcgis Server 10, you can directly change this property by editing your service in arcgismanager.

David,

If you are not yet using ArcGIS Server 10 then look here.

Thanks for your replies.

galigeo -I'm using ArcGIS 9.3.1.

rscheiltlin - You got it! I misread the article that your previous post pointed to. I only restarted the map service, not the SOM. Thanks so much for your help! So, for others who are looking for an answer:

To change the number of records returned by a map service. Go to the config file location; by default this is at:

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\server\user\cfg\

open the cfg file for your service with a text editor (like Notepad); these are named by the follow pattern:

<configuration name>.<service type>.cfg

find <MaxRecordCount>500</MaxRecordCount>

Change the 500 to your desired value.

save the file.

restart the ArcGIS Server Object Manager service, (Control Panel -> Administrator Tools -> Services)

Thanks again!
