Add Data Widget fails to add GPX file

ThomasColson

Add Data Widget fails to add GPX file. Add Data widget—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS indicates that in WAB 2.3, one should be able to "Drag" or "Add" a GPX file to a web map using the widget. That does not occur, instead, an error message "Generate Feature Error: Data upload to hosted server failed". This is on an instance hosted internally, deployed using WAB for Developers. I am able to add zipped shapefiles (any projection) as well as csv files. I have tried many GPX files, which work fine in DNRGARMIN and Basecamp, so the problem is not with the GPX file. Happens with multiple versions of Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

I know that Portal is behind AGOL, but still at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 I can't add GPX-files with Add Data Widget. But it works in AGOL.

Will adding GPX files never work with Web AppBuilder and Portal?

Do I really have to write my own widget to do this when it works fine in AGOL and have been for a long time? it just seems silly.

Scott,

The most likely reason with the Portal reproducible or not is that Portal is several version behind the main WAB version on AGOL or WAB Dev.

See the below link for details on WAB version used in which Portal versions:

So, i got this from ESRI. if you have WAB 2.11 and Portal 10.6 the add data widget works. if not it doesn't. Bummer. The comment on "repoducible" means that it doesn't work and they get the same error message. I have WAB developer 2.11 and Portal 10.5.1. Out of luck for me.......

I wanted to check in regarding our open case regarding the Add data widget not performing as expected. I was able to test several different and components and in my testing I found this issue occurs in several environments but is fixed in others. My testing is detailed below as well as a request to confirm the Web AppBuilder developer's edition version you are using:

Portal 10.5.1 Web AppBuilder application the issue is reproducible
Portal 10.6 Web AppBuilder application the issue is not reproducible and all data types can be added successfully
Portal 10.6.1 Web AppBuilder application the issue is reproducible
Web AppBuilder Developer Edition application Version 2.11 the issue is not reproducible and all data types can be added successfully (enhanced features and more data types available)
Web AppBuilder Developer Edition application Version 2.10 the issue is not reproducible
ArcGIS Online Web AppBuilder application this issue is not reproducible and all data types can be added successfully (enhanced features and more data types available)

Hello - I am working on a case with a customer

When we add a GPX file via the add data widget to an ArcGIS Online WebApp Builder - we are unable to view the attribute table if it is a point gpx file.

Is this a known issue?

Hi Ali,

As Thomas already posted below, the status of Esri BUG-000104018 is that Portal for ArcGIS does not currently support GeoJSON and GPX files, so right now it is a software limitation.

Hope this helps,

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Thomas,

No Portal has never been the same version as AGOL. It is about 2 versions behind.

ThomasColson

A very disappointing response from ESRI, as the lack of support for this tool in Portal is not documented. I wouldn't have gone through all the trouble to deploy it, then spend months troubleshooting it, and hours on the phone explaining the problem. Why aren't GeoJSON and GPX supported in Portal? Isn't Portal the same platform as AGOL?

The status of Esri BUG-000104018 - When Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) is configured with Portal for ArcGIS, adding a .gpx file using the Add Data widget fails. - that you have been associated with has been changed to Not in Current Product Plan.
Public Explanation: GeoJSON and GPX files are not supported in Portal for ArcGIS backend.

Hi Derek Law‌,

I'm also facing a problem while using add data widget for GPX and GeoJson files.

Error message: "Generate Features error: Data upload to hosted server failed".

I'm using ArcGIS enterprise 10.5.1, and im using Federated and Hosted server.

Is there any update on this?

Thank you very much.

Hello Thomas,

If you have found a solution please share. I have the same issue.

Hi Thomas,

Have you found the solution yet? I have the same issue not only for gpx data, but also for geojson data.

Cheers
