Domains aren't showing up in AGO

DaveMenaker — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 17:09:53 GMT

Created a file GDB in 10.0 (so I can't share from Desktop). GDB has one point feature class with a handful of fields and domains. Tested on desktop and worked great. Uploaded to AGO, created a map, and my domains don't show up. What did I do wrong or what am I missing?

I have experienced the same behavior. When I publish a hosted feature service from ArcGIS Desktop 10.2.2, domains are present / dropdowns are available when editing the resulting hosted feature service. However, domains / dropdowns are not present in a feature service that was published from a zipped file geodatabase. So far I have experienced this when uploading and choosing to publish a service - not sure if the same behavior exists if you publish as a separate step.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I created a file geodatabase in 10.1 with a single domain, zipped it, uploaded to AGO, and created a hosted feature service and the domain doesn't show up when I create a webmap with editing enabled on the features. I only have editing of the attributes enabled and I am also tracking the edits. I am also wondering if I am missing a step...

I, too, have experienced the same behavior with an FGDB created with ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced 10.2.1. It sure would be handy if AGOL recognized domains established within a zipped/uploaded FGDB.

The problem is that you are trying to zip the geodatabase and add it with the add file option. You need to add the data in the geodatabase to a blank mxd and publish from there using the "share as a service" in the file dropdown. That is the process I use for anytime I am setting up collector and need to leverage the subtypes and domains. You need to make sure you are logged into AGOL in ArcMap. Chose "my hosted services" and it will be in your content on AGOL.

I was also attempting this method to host my geodatabase content on AGOL as I am working with 10.0. I experienced the same issue. As mentioned, if you are using 10.1 and up you have the option to 'share as' a hosted service. Unfortunately, at 10.0 this option is not available. I ended up installing 10.2 on a laptop specifically for this capability.

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

TimothyMichael — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:16:01 GMT

That is correct, at 10.1 and 10.2 you have the ability to share services to ArcGIS Online. New functionality has been introduced to ArcGIS Online (documentation here) that allows a user to upload a file geodatabase to ArcGIS Online and have the contents hosted as a service. What is unclear to me at this time is if the 'missing' domains in the resulting feature service is a bug, or, if that is an omission by design.

This is a bug that is on track to be fixed in the Nov/Dec timeframe. Publishing from Desktop is the way to go until the fix goes out.

Thanks,

Mike,

I just got done publishing a zipped file geodatabase using 10.1 SP1 and the domains aren't showing up in AGOL. Is the bug in ArcGIS Online or in Desktop? If the bug is in AGOL did it get fixed?

I tried the other method through ArcMap but it failed with the wonderful ERROR 999999 when trying to publish.

Randy,

I just tried again with an empty 10.3 file geodatabase, and the domains are not showing up in AGOL. It appears that this is still an outstanding bug. //@mminami-esristaff

Hi Mike Minami,

I'm using AGOL to upload a zipped GDB (v. 10.2.2), but am still not seeing the domains I've specified on the GDB loading in AGOL. As you stated, this was to be addressed in Nov/Dec of 2014. Any resolutions or workarounds for this process yet?

Thanks!

Jacqueline

I can confirm that this bug still exists.

We've used MXDs to upload our feature services and the domains have always been present

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

RyanRish — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:04:33 GMT

How are you uploading your MXDs? I'm attempting to make a feature service in ArcGIS Catalog/Desktop, move it to ArcGIS Online, then use it within the Collector App. I intermittently (not consistently) lose domains when Sharing as a Service.

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

City_of_Edgewater__Fl_GIS_Div_ — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:12:52 GMT

Use an MXD with the feature classes you want to upload, they will become one feature service together. Sign in to ArcGIS Online, under File there is an option to Share as Service. On the menu select Publish Service => Capabilities => Feature Access

This creates an editable feature service with associated domains

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

RyanRish — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:16:59 GMT

Thanks for the reply. However, this is the exact process that is dropping the domains intermittently (about 85% of the time).

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

City_of_Edgewater__Fl_GIS_Div_ — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:24:34 GMT

That has not happened to us, we are using ArcGIS 10.2.2 and file geodatabases with the feature classes created in feature datasets, what are you using?

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

RyanRish — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:32:50 GMT

I'm using:

10.3.1

File Geodatabases

Point Feature Classes

Long Integer Fields

Domains within those fields

coded values within those domains

Re: Domains aren't showing up in AGO

City_of_Edgewater__Fl_GIS_Div_ — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:34:17 GMT

We are using Coded Values (Text) with no subtypes

That may be the difference (?)
