WFS without geometry

JuliusKnade — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:50:51 GMT

Hello together,

I try to retrieve some WFS and convert them to feature classes, but the geometry seems to be excluded from the WFS. Adding the WFS to my current map is resulting in a stand alone table. Therefore I tested the link in QGIS which resulted in the needed polygons.

I'm honestly a bit clueless here, because a few weeks ago there was no problem with the Data Conversion. I also tried using FME but this also does not convert the WFS to a polygon feature class.

I'm working on ArcGIS Pro 2.7.1.

Thanks for your help!
Julius

Hello! I have quite the same problem except that I am publishing WFS service from ArcGis Pro 2.6 and some of the layers are missing geometry, even in QGIS and some of the layers are with editor tracking fields although I have excluded these fields (and it varies which editor tracking fields are visible).

It looks like this may already be a logged defect; BUG-000136536: In ArcGIS Pro 2.7, adding a WFS layer to a map displ.. (esri.com)

It is showing to be fixed at ArcGIS Pro 2.8, which should be released in the future.

I'm also experiencing this problem, what's the timeframe on ArcGIS Pro 2.8? And is there any chance this bug fix could be included in a 2.7 patch release (2.7.4)?

I think that the next release of ArcGIS Pro is close. I am not sure about a patch for 2.7.x, that would be up to the product teams.

Hi George

I am having this exact problem while using ArcGIS Pro 2.8.

Similarly, I have tried loading the same feature service onto QGIS and it loads as expected.

Hi @Anonymous User - I would highly recommend contacting Esri Technical Support on this issue if it is reoccurring.

It seems like this error still exists in ArcGIS Pro 2.9. Do you know if that's correct?

I just tested this service: https://idpgis.ncep.noaa.gov/arcgis/services/NWS_Forecasts_Guidance_Warnings/watch_warn_adv/MapServer/WFSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS

It showed in Pro 2.9 for me.

I would contact Esri Technical support to have them review.

I also have it in 2.9 with this example service:

https://geodienste.ch/db/av_0/deu?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

Could it be that it's because of the limited outputFormat options this WFS is supporting?

Hey Nicole,

I checked your WFS with ArcGIS Pro and it works fine for me. Did you use https://geodienste.ch/db/av_0/deu for adding a WFS Connection or the link you provided?

Cheers

I have the same issue as Nicole with both this and multiple other WFS services. I'm currently using ArcGIS pro 2.9.1 but have been experiencing this issue since upgrading to 2.7.

Hey guys,

I'm experiencing the same problem under ArcGIS Pro 2.9.1. with this WFS. Under 2.8.3. the WFS is working and can be added to a map/tool.
