I am currently enrolled in the beta testing program for ArcGIS Online for Organizations. When attempting to add feature services (both those published by ESRI and those by users) the following error message appears: "The feature service reference is invalid. The feature service could not be added to the map." After emailing an ESRI representative I was directed to following release on the Beta Community:
"Azure - Compute Cloud is experiencing major problems in their North and South Central Sub-Region (and in their European region too). According to their dashboard 28% of their services are affected in the region we are using. Our Publishing service (pub.arcgis.com) and our Hosted Feature Services (services.arcgis.com) seem to be completely offline. Our tasks.arcgis.com and csm.arcgis.com seem to work ok."
And then the following update:
"Microsoft announced that the problems with its Azure cloud were fixed as of last night (2/29). Accordingly, ArcGIS.com and its services should now function as expected."
I assumed this was the issue and it would now be resolved after this update but as on this morning I am still receiving the same error message when attempting to add feature services. I have submitted a bug report within the beta program but I was wondering if anyone on here has encountered this issue and, if so, have any suggestions. Thanks
