Updating a map document (MXD) is not going to automatically update map services created from that document. That said, if you publish a map service using a shared data source which is referenced (not copied) then updates to the data are seen by all:
What happens if you click Validate All in Manager? Do the question marks change to green checks? Do you get an error message?
I want to know if there is a way for when I update the MXD associated with the Map Service that it will automatically update the Map Service? I want to avoid having to use Share Service As - in ArcMap after I update an MXD. This process can take a long time. It is faster if I can just skip this step.
I was told my ESRI that this can be done if you register the File Geodatabases with ArcGIS Server. I did this. I stopped our Service. I opened the MXD, did some updates, saved the MXD, then restarted our Service. But, I did not see the changes in the Map Viewer. I cleared the Internet Explorer Cache still same results. We are using Flex 3.0.
