[RPC Fault faultString="" faultCode="400" faultDetail="Invalid URL"]

TomSedlacek — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:21:36 GMT

Afternoon all..

Thanks in advance for any kernel of help you may have for me.

I am attempting to modify portions of the sample flex viewer to work with my data and services. I have modified the SearchWidget XML to point to (what I thought) is my data and field to search by parcel number. One I changed the code as shown and attempt a search, I get:

[RPC Fault faultString="" faultCode="400" faultDetail="Invalid URL"]

Here is my modified code:

<configuration>
<en_CA>
<layers>
   <layer>
    <name>Taxlots</name>
    <url>http://station-01-09/ArcGISServer/rest/services/M3/MapServer</url>
    <expression>ASSR_SN= '[value]'</expression>
    <textsearchlabel>Search by Parcel ID [ Example: 118255-780 ]:</textsearchlabel>
    <graphicalsearchlabel>Use one of the graphical search tools to select incidents</graphicalsearchlabel>
    <fields>ASSR_SN</fields>
    <titlefield>ASSR_SN</titlefield>
    <linkfield></linkfield>

Tom,

The URL of a query has to have the number of the layer that is to be queried at the end.

http://station-01-09/ArcGISServer/rest/services/M3/MapServer

needs to be something like

http://station-01-09/ArcGISServer/rest/services/M3/MapServer/2

That did it Robert. Thank you. You're really the 'go to' guy here!

I get a similar error when I try searching on Valves, even after adding the layer number at the end of the url. The Search works great for Hydrants and Water Meters, but for Valves I get the following error:

[RPC Fault faultString="Unable to complete operation."
faultCode="400" faultDetail="Unable to complete Query operation."]

Any thoughts?

Here is my SearchWidget.xml code

Rachelle,

Are you sure the expression should not be :

<expression>VALVEID like '[value]'</expression>

is "Valve ID" the alias for the field?

Re: [RPC Fault faultString="" faultCode="400" faultDetail="Invalid URL"]

RachelleDoucet — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:04:10 GMT

I've changed my code for the Valves search to this:

<expression>HANSENID like '[value]'</expression>

HANSENID is the Alias name. As you can see below, it is the same Alias name as in the Hydrants layer which works fine.

I thought maybe it had to do with the valves having a Definition Query set in the .mxd. But I get the same error when I remove it. I'm stumped!

Rachelle,

Try this:

<expression>GISADMIN.WATERNODE.HANSENID like '[value]%'</expression>

Still get the same error. I'm going to try creating a new map service using a new mxd with just the valves in it to test.

RachelleDoucet — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:54:35 GMT

I was never able to figure why my original code wasn't working.

But I ended up removing the block of code that was referencing the VALVES service. I then copied and pasted the code from the HYDRANTS that was working and simply replaced the map service name and URL for VALVES. Now it works!

We ran into a similar problem with our Flex Viewer, returning a similar error code. It turns out our problem was the map used to create the map service was modified to include a join on the layer being searched on, and then the service was republished. Because of this change, the fields configured in the Search Widget need to be reconfigured to indicate which table was being searched on, such as seen in the example below.

Instead of our old configuration: <field name="PARCELS.APN" alias="Parcel Number" />
With the join we needed this: <field name="PROD_SDE.DBO.PARCELS.APN" alias="Parcel Number" />

Once I made this change the search tool worked perfectly again.
