ArcGis Server Map Services: is it possible to modify by a remote use?

FrancescoSozzi — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:02:47 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to allow user to dinamically change an ArcGis Server Map Service.
Specifically I would like to remotelly add a new rule to an existing layer. The simbology should be get from some sort of inventory (may be from another Map service with a catalog of symbols, or in some other way).
Is it possible with Silverlight API (or in any other way)?... Any suggestions?...

Thanks in advance

What you can do from Silverlight is to set a custom renderer for the layer. If you want to persist it, you'll have to serialize it and store it in a different table.
If you want to modify the MXD directly, you'll probably have to write up a Python script and publish it as a Geoprocessing service.
Changing symbology in the query is expected to come with ArcGIS Server 10.1.
