1200 Custom Services - Custom Address Locator

PeterTimmers — Thu, 20 May 2010 03:57:06 GMT

Is there something special about the custom address locator service in 1200?

Because our address locator doesn't appear to work... Validate Services gives it a cross.

Is that because we've got the wrong fields? There doesn't seem to any doco on what they should be.

Not being in the US means we can't use the standard one.

I was wondering if you ever got this resolved or figured it out?

I have created a few custom locators specific to our requirements and I cannot find an easy way to add them as a GIS Service or Analysis Tool?? Like you I can find no documentation on adding your own locators to AGX 1200. I wonder if the only option is to build a custom Add-in?

Thanks

Dave

No. We currently have an open support request on why the address search from ESRI doesn't work through our proxy firewall. Using a funny port??

I'm guess why our local address gecoder doesn't work is that it doesn't have exactly the same fields as needed.

No doco on what is the requirements.

Hi Peter,

if you have a valid custom address locator service, you should get a green check mark in ArcGIS Explorer Application Configuration. There is something wrong with the path, I guess.

That said we've identified the issue that custom address locators are not working correctly in 1200 from Find window, and will have a fix for it in 1500.

Meantime, I'd like to ask you to share link to your custom address locator service, if it is a public one, so I can test ArcGIS Explorer against it?
