Creating a Custom Data Feed Feature Service in a Specific Server Folder

KamilNovák — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 19:52:18 GMT

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it’s possible to create a Feature service using a Custom Data Provider within a specific server folder. The documentation only describes how to create a Feature Service in the root directory (example: https://<domain_name_or_machine_name>/<webadaptor_name>/rest/services/<service_name>/FeatureServer).

My second question is whether I can call my Custom Data Feeds service using the default REST parameters - particularly datumTransformation and outSR - if those are not implemented in my provider code?

Thanks.

Kamil

I have resolved my first question:

It needs to be done in the AGS admin directory. Navigate to Home → services → <Folder Name>
Here, use the createService operation

Provide the following service JSON:

{
"serviceName": "<SERVICE NAME>",
"type": "FeatureServer",
"description": "",
"capabilities": "Query",
"provider": "CUSTOMDATA",
"clusterName": "default",
"minInstancesPerNode": 0,
"maxInstancesPerNode": 0,
"instancesPerContainer": 1,
"maxWaitTime": 60,
"maxStartupTime": 300,
"maxIdleTime": 1800,
"maxUsageTime": 600,
"loadBalancing": "ROUND_ROBIN",
"isolationLevel": "HIGH",
"configuredState": "STARTED",
"recycleInterval": 24,
"recycleStartTime": "00:00",
"keepAliveInterval": 1800,
"private": false,
"isDefault": false,
"maxUploadFileSize": 0,
"allowedUploadFileTypes": "",
"properties": {"disableCaching": "true"},
"jsonProperties": {"customDataProviderInfo": {
"forwardUserIdentity": false,
"dataProviderName": "<PROVIDER NAME>",
"dataProviderHost": "",
"dataProviderId": "",
"serviceParameters": {}
}},
"extensions": [],
"frameworkProperties": {},
"datasets": []
}

Then click Create

This works for me in version 11.5.
