Publishing a view from registered postgres database with full functionality

Greetings.

We have ArcGIS Enterprise (version 11.2) connected to our PostgreSQL (version 16.1) with PostGIS (version 3.4.0) database. Our goal is to publish views from this registered database with full functionality (such as identify, search, and zoom to feature), without the need for edit capabilities.

While we have successfully published a view to Enterprise through ArcGIS Pro as a feature service (with a postgres full access super user), we have encountered a significant issue: the functionality for identifying, searching, and zooming to features is lost after publication. In contrast, when we publish spatial tables from the same PostgreSQL database, those tables maintain their full functionality.

However, the majority of our data is tabular that needs to be summarized, have regular updates based on hourly changes, or only a portion can be published publicly and then those tables need to be linked to the associated spatial data for viewing. 

Is there a way to effectively publish a view from our registered database while retaining the desired functionalities (identify, search, zoom to feature, etc.)? Any guidance or insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi @DaraUnglaube, one thing to note, PostgreSQL 16 is not currently supported with Enterprise:

@DaraUnglaube PostgreSQL 16 will only be supported and certified with the upcoming release of ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5.

"we have successfully published a view to Enterprise through ArcGIS Pro as a feature service"

Database Views cannot be used in ArcGIS Feature Services. You need to publish a Map Service instead. See the documentation below.

Greetings. A quick update on this behavior. We have been working with ESRI support and they were able to replicate our issue. They went to submit a bug report and a portion of this error has already been reported as a bug. It is listed on https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/the-popup-is-not-working-for-data-published-from-postgr-bug-00016...
