Flex Viewer Operational Layers

TravisSlack — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:37:42 GMT

Hey guys,

kind of confused here. Taking over the webmapping from an old employee. There are services that have been published under c:\arcgisserver\arcgisinput\ (eg c:\arcgisserver\arcgisinput\StoreWebAnno.MapServer\StoreWebAnno.msd )

I made a mxd with a feature class to publish and add, except the only way I could get it to publish it in the shared dir \\win-1ffdvad32\Published\ (eg \\win-1ffdvad32\Published\StoreWebLive.msd). Ok fine, it works, it says it is published and started, but when I open Flex Viewer app and go to operational layers i do not see my newly published service. If i go to http://192.168.0.61/TestboxGIS/rest/services I don't see the new published service there either. Is there a way to refresh it or did I publish this incorrectly?

Thanks

Travis,

Are you using a 9.3.1 server? If so you may need to clear your rest cache:

Thanks for the help, that did the trick. I am reading through the flex documentation at the moment. The operational layers (custom layers i've added from our geodatabase) seem to be drawing/refreshing fairly slowly. I don't know whether its the computer that is the bottleneck (it is an older machine) or whether there is anything I can configure or do to speed up the drawing/refresh speed.

Thanks

Travis,

The time it takes for your layers to draw in ArcMap will directly effect the time it takes to draw from your web service. Does your layer take a long time to draw when displayed in ArcMap, if it does try setting scale thresholds or definition queries to speed up the drawing. If this does not help it may be just that your machine is struggling.

Please don't forget to mark the original question as answered.
