Editing geometry required?

GregYetman — Thu, 30 May 2013 12:06:11 GMT

Hi,

When trying to add feature layers to the operations dashboard it often crashes. I tried debugging it after the most recent crash and saw the exception below. The line "Message=Layer does not allow geometry updates" leads me to believe that adding a layer that does not have feature updates enabled is the problem. Must all layers permit feature updates?

TIA,

Greg

Hi Greg,

You mentioned that "adding a layer that does not have feature updates enabled is the problem", are you having a mix of editable and non-editable layers in your web map? Do they come from the same or different feature services? I have a webmap with a bunch of layers, the editable ones come from one feature service and the non-editable ones come from another service. I could add a new geometry to the editable layers, and no crash when I try to add a geometry to the non-editable ones (it just doesn't do anything). If you are doing it in a different way, do you mind giving more information about how you set up your webmap? Or, do you mind sharing some code snippet so we can look at it together?

Thanks

Tif

Hi Tif,

I had a mix of feature services in my map, some from ArcGIS Online that were editable and some from ArcGIS for Server that were not editable. I dropped a number (but not all) of the services that I had been including as data services when I authored the application and it was much more stable. The application was used for a demonstration, I haven't gone back to figure out what was going wrong. I will fire up the server services and have a look to see if I can reproduce the problem again and let you know.

Cheers,

Greg

I just re-created the dashboard view that was giving me problems and it seems to be working fine. I suspect that the most recent update to the dashboard (10.1.1.142) may of fixed whatever issue I had encountered.

Hi Greg,

As far as I know that build mainly addresses the installer issue, but glad to know it's working now! If you still see that problem please let us know.

Thanks

Tif
