How to publish featureservice so it exposes spatialReferenceInfo?

KirkKuykendall1 — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 16:28:09 GMT

I'm unable to find a spatialreferenceInfo element exposed anywhere on the featurelayer endpoint.

I see that a networklayer exposes one.

Is there some option for publishing a featurelayer so that it exposes this?

Hi, I may be wrong, but I think you may be looking at the branch rather than the root, so to speak. Esri put out a sample feature service here:

https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/Landscape_Trees/FeatureServer/

The meta-data for the 'service' states that teh Spatial Reference is: 102100(3857). This is global to all the layers in the service. If you navigate to a layer in the service:

https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/Landscape_Trees/FeatureServer/0

Then the spatial reference isn't repeated, because it's inherited from the root of the service.

Hoping that's what you mean?

Hey Scott -

Thanks for replying, but what I'm looking for specifically are the xyTolerance and xyResolution properties. The only place in the REST API I see those is in the spatialReferenceInfo element of the networkLayer.

I'm hoping it's a documentation omission - and not an API shortcoming.

Got you. Sorry, misunderstood the question. LRServer is something new to me, but can see the JSON that you're refering to in this sample:

https://roadsandhighwayssample.esri.com/server/rest/services/RoadsHighways/RelocateEvents/MapServer/exts/LRServer/networkLayers/1?f=pjson

I would assume that it's something specific to the Linear Referencing workflow? This is an area I haven't worked in and have never noted a requirement under a normal FeatureLayer workflow.

I'll stand away and let someone else (more experienced in that area) respond.

Good luck on sorting it, sorry I can't help.
