Edit Widget and Editable Layer

MichaelVolz — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:42:40 GMT

To All FlexViewer Users:

I have created an ArcGIS Server mapservice with Feature Access capability so I can make edits to a SDE layer from a web application. Once this service has been created, I can see both a mapserver and featureserver service at the REST endpoint. In the main config.xml I add the featureserver service to the Flex Viewer app with visible = "true".

Unfortunately, when I open the Flex Viewer app, this editable layer is not in fact visible. Is there a step in the setup of this project that I am missing?

Michael

Have you given permissions for a user to edit in your database?

Yes, I had that setup in SDE before I even created the mapservice that has feature access capability.

Your arcgis server needs permissions to your data, not just your sde account:

I made some modifications to my main config.xml file when I was specifying the feature server based on the last thread of the below post:

Now the feature layer is displaying on the map and I can make edits to the feature service.
