Does ArcGIS Online support the geodatabase?

[TimMinter]

I have a simple 10.2.2 file geodatabase (tried 10.3.0, same results) with one polygon feature class, metadata, some domains, and subtypes based on one of the fields with a domain.  I generated it brand new by copy/pasting the feature class from a 10.2.2 enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server, so it's not likely to be corrupt.  ArcGIS Online and Open Data variously ignore the domains and subtypes when I try to either upload the zipped fGDB as a "File Geodatabase" item or publish from ArcMap as a "Feature Layer (Hosted)" item.  The ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS Online Help have not yielded any guidance that would get my fGDB into AGO successfully.

So...  have any of you come up with workarounds, incantations, or any undocumented secrets for success?

thx!

Hi Tim,

I would like to assist with this. Would you be able to provide me with a backup of the SQL Server database? I can restore it here and try to reproduce the issue.

If you are interested please message me.

Thanks,

Katie

Hi Katie,

Thanks for offering to have a look.  I'll mess with a backup tomorrow morning and get with you on transferring.

Hi Katie Cullen,

GeoNet apparently wants you to be my Friend or to follow me so that I can message you.  Alternatively, I could take a guess at your email and see what happens...

Progress!  The June 2016 AGO release is showing promise toward supporting feature services that are published from the geodatabase structure.  In brief initial tests, the Data tab in the Item Description is respecting and displaying my feature class, the 1:M related table, and the M:N related table.  The subtypes appear to be respected, and the correct domains for the subtypes appear to be respected.  Sounds like it might be time for another run at this...

Thanks Esri-folks!
