Identify Results Include features excluded by definition query

LoriEmerson_McCormack — Thu, 26 Jan 2017 19:31:08 GMT

I am using the ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer to load my layers into the map in ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.19.

I have set up the IdentifyTask, and it works great except for one problem. I allow the end-user to search on a date range which sets a definition query to only display those features. However, the identify popup includes those features that are being excluded using the definition query.

How do I get an Identify popup for only those features that are visible because of the definition query?

Lori,

Are you using the IdentifyParameters.layerDefinitions array? If not then you should be.

IdentifyParameters | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.19 | layerDefinitions

Good idea!

When I try setting the identify parameter layer definition,

identifyParams.layerDefinitions[3] = "DateOn <= '" + ondate + "' AND DateOff >= '" + offdate + "'";

I get an error

"0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to set property '3' of undefined or null reference"

So, I found on another post to try setting the layer definition like this:

identifyParams.layerDefinitions = { "3": "DateOn <= '" + ondate + "' AND DateOff >= '" + offdate + "'" };

I do not get an error, but the identify layer definition is not getting set.

Lori,

It would be:

var layerDefinitions = [];
layerDefinitions[3] = "DateOn <= '" + ondate + "' AND DateOff >= '" + offdate + "'";‍‍
identifyParams.layerDefinitions = layerDefinitions;‍‍‍

Thank you. It is similar to how I set up the regular definition query.

var layerDefinitions = [];

layerDefinitions[0] = "bridge_symbol = 'weight restr'";

allTravelImpactsLayer.setLayerDefinitions(layerDefinitions);

For anyone encountering this issue when identifying against a MapImageLayer in Version 4.x of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, the sublayers property of IdentifyParameters needs to be specified, as explained here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/what-is-the-layerdefinitions-equivalent-for/td-p/1210531
