Query result incomplete

[ThomasMcCracken]

Afternoon Flex Comrades,

Got a little dilemma here everyone.  I've created a query task that returns a very large number of results (1,000 - 2,000 records or so); I'm querying electrical distribution line circuits.  I cranked the max number of records in the service config file to 50,000 (yes, fifty thousand).  Well, when I add the resulting graphic for the query there are still several pieces of the geometry missing.  Does anyone know of a max. number of graphics allowed or perhaps some sort of time limit a query will run before stopping?  Has anyone else encountered this and know of a solution?  I'm working with ArcGIS Server 9.3, also.  Please advise.

I dont have the answer to your question, but maybe a possible solution.
50,000 records is too much and you will run into client side issues.
I would suggest just getting the results based on the users current extent and re-query on extent changed so you limit the graphics added each time.

Or create a map service out of the data so you dont need the geometry when querying.

No, limiting graphics is not the problem.  I need more graphics, one for each record returned from the query.  That is why I upped the max number returned to 50,000.  I already have a map service of the data; that is what I'm querying from.  The user needs to query the service to highlight a the particular features he is looking for. Unfortunately, when they perform the query not all of the matching records are getting graphics added to them.  I can't figure out why this happens but that is the behavior.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Alright, after changing absolutely nothing in my code it started working.  Talked to IT folks and they said they had re-started the server and done some other stuff so that must have done it. I guess this hasn't been happening for anyone else but if it does just get your IT to play with the server a little and do their voodoo IT magic on it.
