Map Document Used To Create Service

ChristopherJohnson1 — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 14:26:23 GMT

Good morning. Is there a way to retrieve the map document used to create a service? I see other details provided at the REST endpoint (https://xxx/MapServer/info/iteminfo), but not the name of the map document. Is this information available at another endpoint?

Thanks...Chris

This is a tough one, which is why we mirror the folder structure our published services with a folder of map documents used to publish the services. You can see the location where the original mxd was published from using ArcGIS Server Manager to view the General tab of the service properties. The same thing is also in ArcCatalog service properties but it's on the Parameters tab. However, this won't do any good if the MXD has been moved or deleted since publishing.

Edit:

You might be able to find in your server directory at \arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\ServiceFolderName\ServiceName.MapServer\extracted\v101

No this info is not available at the rest service level.

Thanks, Blake!

Yeah, I know I can see the info via the Server Manager, but I wanted to know if the information was available via the API.

Thanks again.
