Web Map (Beta) Won't Let Me Save

Alexa — Wed, 26 May 2021 17:16:59 GMT

Hello,

I'm having an issue with a web map that was created via the "Share as Web Map" option in ArcGIS Pro. The layers are configured so that they can only be viewed in what was once called Map Viewer Beta (versus Map Viewer Classic) so that is what I use. But--every time I try to save the web map I get a message that says "An Error Occurred". This happens whether I try a flat save or a Save As. There is no indication on what is causing the error.

Does anyone have any insight?

I cannot reproduce this. Can you share the map and I can take a look.

What is the best way for me to share it? I'm also noticing that when I share as a web map sometimes only one or two of my layers will be hosted.

You can share it to a group and invite russell_jsapi to it and I can check out the web map & layers.

I gave it a try. I don't know what you might see--but when I shared the map more than half of my layers didn't host. I'm not sure why. They are all shapefiles in the same geodatabase, either point or line features.

When you publish from Pro you can see if your map content in the sharing panel can you see if you can toggle the shapefile layers to be published as hosted feature layers? Still looking into the saving issue but I think its something to do with the series of feature collections(shapefile layers) in the web map.

Can you give me a little more guidance in how to do that? I don't see anything in the sharing pane.

On the sharing pane - look at the Configuration and you can look at the layer properties for those shapefiles to see if they are being published as web layers.

It indicates that only some of them are being published as web layers. Also--and I'm not sure if this is helpful--when I right click on some of the layers in the Contents pane and go to Sharing, the ability to share them as a web layer is greyed out. Again, I'm not sure why as everything is in the same geodatabase.

Can you copy those shapefiles to a gdb and then try to publish that way? Might solve the issue with them not being all hosted.

I'm able to zip and publish the geodatabase as hosted feature layers, but there are a lot of of them and I was hoping to keep the symbology from the desktop application to the web. Is there any other way to do that?

It looks like the shapefile layers are missing a required property and that's why save is not working. Also not sure how you published this from Pro with the layers not all being hosted feature layers. Pro only creates feature collections from Map Notes layers. Can you share the pro project?

Can you tell me how to do that? Sorry, still a bit new to all of this.

Re: Web Map (Beta) Won't Let Me Save

Sure, under the Share tab, select Project and then share it to the group the current map content is in.

Thank you! I just shared it.

Quick questions
Did you create create a map notes layer first and then inserts features in them?

Re: Web Map (Beta) Won't Let Me Save

Alexa — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 13:32:42 GMT

I didn't think I created a map notes layer at all. I thought they were all shapefiles from my geodatabase.
