Since the new service is going to be added in a Group Layer in the middle of existing services, it changes the id of the existing services. If I want to do that, I have to change a lot of places in my code to replace the old Ids with the new ones. I was wondering if there is any way that I can create a new service withough needing to change the id of other services. Is that possible?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:01:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-questions/adding-a-new-map-service-without-changing-the/m-p/31734#M135 FarhadNavaei 2013-02-05T21:01:29Z Re: Adding a new Map Service without changing the service Id of existing services https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-questions/adding-a-new-map-service-without-changing-the/m-p/31735#M136 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I think that the IDs are simply consecutive integers which represent the draw order in the map document.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What I do is to provide an abstraction above this.&nbsp; For example, the code might need to find the layer associated with Vegetation so it looks that up and uses it rather then hard coding the number 1 everywhere.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Designing solutions around numbers which can change seem fragile.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:13:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-rest-apis-and-services-questions/adding-a-new-map-service-without-changing-the/m-p/31735#M136 RichardWatson 2013-02-17T21:13:12Z
