Identify Widget 3.6.2 for Flex Viewer: raster layer names will not display

[BarnabyRockwell]

Using the 3.6.2 version of the Identify Widget, I cannot get names of attributed, ERDAS Imagine (.img) raster layers to display when I click on a pixel in the Flex app to identify. In the 3.0.2 version of the widget for Flex Viewer 3.0, the layer name would be displayed for these raster layers. How can I get the layer name to be displayed along with the other results? I am using ArcGIS 10.2 for Server and Flex Viewer 3.6, on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. I have not installed the Flex API, just the Flex Viewer.

Behavior is the same with widget version 3.5.1 for Flex Viewer 3.5.

Layer names for vector layers are displayed with Identify results, just not the layer names of the Imagine .img files. In Widget settings, if I try and add a layer from one of these rasters, the services are seen, but no "addable" features are shown, so I cannot add them.

In my current xml configuration for the widget, I completely removed the <layers> section. So there is no layer info in the xml for any layer. Everything seems to work fine except for the .img layers for which no layer names are displayed.

This image shows identify results on one of the .img files using Identify widget 3.0.2 in Flex Viewer 3.0, using ArcGIS for Server 10.0 (sp5), in Firefox:

Thank you in advance...

Kinga,

   I will have to do some testing on that exact senario.

Robert,
thanks again, waiting for your answer

Kinga,

  I just tested using 3.6.4 and was able to get results from a raster layer beneath a vector polygon (see screenshot).

Must be your configuration.

Robert,
would you be so kind to send me the xml code of your configuration? I would crosscheck it with the one I used.

Kinga,

  Sure here it is.

Robert,
thanks a lot, I'll test with this.

I have tried ~20 times, using 3 different browsers, to post a new thread that is related to this one, but the attempts time out every time.  What is going on with this forum?    :mad:

Ok, I have wasted enough time attempting to make a new thread, so here is another question which I hope Robert can answer.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hello again, I have another question for Robert regarding XML configuration of the ID widget for raster layers.

I am using Identify Widget 3.0.2 for Flex Viewer 3.0 with ArcGIS Server 10 and cannot upgrade to newer versions of Server or Flex at this time.

I want to configure the ID widget xml for raster layers so that only certain fields are reported (in this case the "MaterialID" and pixel value attributes).  Here is the raster layer:

http://cmerwebmap.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Landsat7_West/MapServer/2

Using this xml,

    
<layers onlythese="false">
        <layer>
            <name>Landsat 7 - Northwestern U.S. - 3/27/13 - reduced vegetation suppression - AA11</name>
            <id>2</id>
            <url>http://cmerwebmap.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Landsat7_West/MapServer</url>
            <fields>
                <field name="MaterialID" alias="Material ID"/>
                <field name="Value" alias="Pixel Value"/>
            </fields>
            <links/>
            <zoomscale>2000</zoomscale>
            <forcescale>true</forcescale>
        </layer>

I get this ID result:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]31801[/ATTACH]

which is the same as if I didn't alter the XML at all.  Nearly the same XML as shown above works perfectly on the same raster layer using ID Widget 3.6.4 and Server 10.2.1 (see image below):

[ATTACH=CONFIG]31802[/ATTACH]

    <layers onlythese="false">
        <layer>
            <name>Landsat 7 - Northwestern U.S. - 3/27/13 - reduced vegetation suppression - AA11</name>
            <id>2</id>
            <url>http://servername_10.2.1/ArcGIS/rest/services/Landsat7_West/MapServer</url>
            <fields>
                <field name="MaterialID" alias="Material ID"/>
                <field name="Pixel Value" alias="Pixel Value"/>
            </fields>
            <links/>
            <zoomscale>2000</zoomscale>
            <forcescale>true</forcescale>
        </layer>

Is there a way to configure the XML to limit the displayed fields reported for this raster?

Thank you in advance, Robert!  🙂

Barnaby,

   Not sure what is going on with you not being able to start a new thread but I am experiencing issues with the forums today as well.

Version 3.0 was pretty different when i came to configuring layers. Here is what works for me:

        <layer>
            <name>3/27/13 - reduced vegetation suppression - AA11</name>
            <fields>
                <field name="MaterialID" alias="Material ID"/>
                <field name="Pixel value" alias="Value"/>
            </fields>
            <links/>
            <zoomscale>2000</zoomscale>
            <forcescale>true</forcescale>
        </layer>

[BarnabyRockwell]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  😄  Thanks, Robert!

I now see that the <name> field is used to identify the layer, not the <id> field.  Is it possible to change the name of the layer as displayed in the ID widget results?  Changing the name for display purposes is one of the main reasons I am editing the xml.
