Access ArcGIS Server database content from JavaScript application

DavidLelouche — Tue, 02 May 2017 08:58:45 GMT

I'm trying to access a SQL Server database containing some shapefiles and tables located on an ArcGIS Server.
I managed to access and edit these data with ArcGIS Desktop and arcpy, but I didn't find how to do it in a web application (using ArcGIS JavaScript or Leaflet)

How am I supposed to do ?
For example I would like to query a table to print its content in my application,
or get a shapefile to add it to a webmap (in this case I guess I'll have to publish it)

David,

You access ArcGIS Server services using the REST endpoint for that service. You can get the REST urls from your ArcGIS Server by using http://servername/arcgis/rest/services. Then you can use the JS API Query sample to get you started with JS API code to actually query this service using the JS API.

Query data without a map | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.20

If you want to edit features then you have to publish a Feature Access Feature Service to your ArcGIS Server
