Query a specific date using the Search Widget

JakeSkinner — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:22:01 GMT

Can anyone provide me the correct syntax to query a date using the Search widget? I am using FlexViewer 2.5 and my data resides in a File Geodatabase. I have the out-of-the-box Search widget set up, but I cannot figure out the correct syntax. The values in the date field are month/day/year. Ex:

12/14/2011

Jake,

Try using: dateField = date '2011-12-14'

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the response. I tried that, and I also tried:

date '2011-12-14 00:00:00'

Both return 'Unable to return query operation'.

Jake,

So you are trying to put this in the SearchWidget.xml?

Yes, that is correct.

Jake,

I would call your colleagues in tech support on this. I can get a date query to work for one of my date fields using ArcGIS Server 10 SP3 but I can not get it to work using ArcGIS Online map service that is 10 SP 1.
