Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part III

All,

Here is a new thread to post questions and discuss the Enhanched Search Widget. The old thread was getting too long.

Tom,

The documentation has both an example and text eplaining how to use a domain.

Page 7 of the pdf has the example, page 3 the explanation:

<expressions>
    <expression alias="Agree with incident" textsearchlabel="Search Incidents that are agreed to:">
        <values>
            <value prompt="Example: True" field="agree_with_incident" usedomain="true">agree_with_incident = [value]</value>
        </values>
    </expression>
    <expression alias="Incident date" textsearchlabel="Search Incidents on or after date:">
        <values>
            <value prompt="Example: 2012/04/16">datetime >= '[value] 00:00:00'</value>
        </values>
    </expression>
</expressions>

All,
I have 2 networks with the same setup. On one side, "domain", "userlist" & "uniquevalsfromfield" work fine.

usedomain - allows user types the value
userlist - creates dropdown from list
uniquevalsfromfield - populates dropdown from field

But I can not get the "uniquevalsfromfield" to create a dropdown list on the other network. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

//
Here is my configuration on both sides:
. mid-Tier, 1 VCS Server
. Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1, 64-bit, 2 Processors, 8GB RAM
. IIS 7.5 (SSL)
. IE 8 is used by default. ArcGIS Viewer 3.3 for Flex (Source code) [arcgis-viewer-flex-3.3-src.zip]
. ArcGIS API 3.3 for Flex [arcgis_api_for_flex_3_3.zip]
. Flash Builder 4.6 [FlashBuilder_4_6_LS10.exe]
. Flex SDK 4.6 [flex_sdk_4.6.zip]

Thomas,

What I don't see listed in your specs is the ArcGIS Server Version and Service Pack. The uniquevalsfromfield requires an ArcGIS Server 10 or greater. You can use Fiddler or some other http traffic inspector/analyzer to see if you are getting any 400 errors from that server.

Robert,
Thank you for responding so quickly. I really appreciate it.

Yes, I am running ArcGIS 10 Server Advanced Enterprise SP5 (10.05) but I cannot set up an �??http traffic inspector/analyzer�?� because it's on a SECRET network. Any ideas what would cause the different results of the same code?

I looked at the IIS logs at the time I opened and clicked the pulldown that did not work, (This may help???)
This is a hand jam, so let me know if you need more.

�?�GET/ArcGIS/rest/services/hsip/mapserver/5/query returnGeometry=false&test=%&f=json&returnIdsOnly=true &spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects 443 �?? 22.50.xx.xxx Mozilla/4.0+(compatable;+MSIE+7  .   .   .   .   .   .   .   /bin-debug/index.swf  200  0  0  479

Thanks again Robert.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎06-03-2013

Thomas,

Can you do queries from the rest end point of that server without issue?

ThomasBrophy · ‎06-04-2013

Thomas,

Can you do queries from the rest end point of that server without issue?

Yes, I can query using the Flex application (ArcGIS Viewer for Flex v3.3) and from the REST Endpoint "Query" with no problem. Actually, everything is working well with eSearch except this pulldown.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎06-04-2013

Thomas,

I am sorry to say nothing is jumping out at me on this one. I am not sure where to dirrect you from here without some error message from the http requests or something. If you can add Google Chrome them you can use Developer Tools to inspect the http traffic, and if you are on IE9 then you can use F12 to get to IE developer tools.

ThomasBrophy · ‎06-04-2013

Robert,

As long as nothing jumps out at you in the code I sent, I guess thats the best we can do. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.

Have great day!

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎06-04-2013

Thomas,

I would recommend trying version 3.3.3 as I found that ArcGIS Server can return a query error "Unable to complete query" quite often when the server is hit with multiple requests in rapid succession. I have put four more attempts in the uniquevalsfromfield requests before it fails.

I will try it. Thank you so much. I'll let you know if it solves my issues.
