Geodata Service Issue

MartinSiwek — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:47:46 GMT

I have a geodata service created from a map service. On the geodata service I have the Query and Extraction capabilties enabled, and on the map service I have the map, query and data capabilities enabled.

However, when a user attempts to extract a local copy of the data for editing they receive the error: "Create replica failed. The capability is not supported". I reviewed the ESRI documentation and it notes that users should be able to download a copy without the replication option enabled on the geodata service. The version that the map and geodata service are based off of are public. What could be causing this error?

ArcGIS 10 SP1, ArcGIS Server.Net 10 SP1

Is the client machine able to access the virtual output directory? You can follow the steps in the following KB article to see if they can. If the client cannot, this is most likely why you are receiving the error message.

Jake, thanks for the response.

The client can access the output directory. What's interesting is if I enable the replication option the create local copy for editing executes perfectly. What's odd is if i watch the output directory while it's trying to download the local copy the compressed zip file does not get generated but I do see the uncompressed images being generated upon request.

Hi Martin,

How large is the feature class you are trying to edit (i.e. 10,000 features)? Also, would you be able to create a test feature class, save it in a new MXD, publish the MXD to server and see if you can reproduce this error? I'm wondering if it's something specific to your configuration or something with this specific feature class/service.

Thanks,

Jake

Jake,

There are two feature classes tied to this map and geodata service. One is a road network with approximately 400,000 arcs and other is a point feature class with approximately 2,000,000 records. When I attempt to download a local copy I make sure to keep the extent to very few records (no more than 10-20) I checked the size of the compressed zip folder when I have replication enabled and it is under the limit for sending the data.

I created a brand new feature dataset in my sde database, registered it as versioned without the option to move edits to base, and created a brand new map service and geodata service from it. The version that these feature classes are pulling from is public. I tried downloading a local copy and still received the error "Create replica failed. The requested capability is not supported".

I've also tried expermenting with other feature classes in my database with a corresponding map and geodata service with the same results.
