Dynamic Layer Visibility Issue

MattO_Hara — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 18:30:08 GMT

Hi,

I'm having some weird behavior with dynamic layers and I'm wondering if it's just something I'm doing wrong or what. I've made an example demonstrating my problem.

Example

The dynamic layer is never visible. I've made a feature layer that does show up to demonstrate that there should be visible data in the layer.

Any help is appreciated!

interesting, you data isnt visible via your rest service either

maybe an access/data/mxd issue?

I took a look of the export image rest endpoint in FireBug and the image is looking for
http://stewart:8014/arcgisoutput/_ags_mapf26fc697a31a424091c2ece250c62d5e.png

Looks like they have an internal reference rather than a fully qualified domain maybe or is this what you would expect to see with the new version of arcgis 10?

actually, looks like the proxied the endpoint but did not proxy the output directory.

Sorry, deleted my post that Jeff is responding to, but I think his post still makes sense and is the likely culprit.

Thanks for the help. I've made the output directory accessible now but it didn't fix the problem.

I get some very weird results on that map and I think there is something wrong with the way the map is made or the database behind it. It wasn't made by me but swapping to different services on the same server cause it to function properly.

Are the services coming from SDE?

If not, double check the paths for the datasets. I always get tripped up because my map service used network drive letters when they should have been UNC format. Remember, your server won't know what a G, L, or Z drive is so that's one reason that features won't show up in a map service.
