If you have a layer that exposes GlobalID, doing a find task on that layer (all fields) or by including GlobalID will yeild no results;  Remove GlobalID from the list of fields and the find will work. Thank you for this posting. FIND using globalid field in the query or in the output fields should work in 10.0. Please let ESRI support know if this is still an issue. Thanks ... View more

This is the expected behavior. By default the field alias shown in the map document will use the alias from the geodatabase. But if it is altered in the document, then the field alias that is set in the map document will override the alias set in the geodatabase. > "ID" : "8", //ID is an alias i applied to the project, overriding the Auto ID alias from the geodatabase) > The layer description should also list "ID" as the alias and not "Auto ID". Does that still show the alias as set in the geodatabase? Thanks Ravi ... View more

We have created a GP Service via a published tool layer in ArcGIS Server 9.3.1. The MXD and model are attached.  The output of the model is a polygon shapefile which is then exposed via resulting map service.  The model seems to run correctly with no errors and the service has been consumed successfully from the ArcGIS Desktop application.  The final output will be a mailing list generated from a FLEX Web App. We have been unsuccessful in figuring out how to call the REST API from FLEX or the predefined HTML interfaces.  One point of confusion is the scratchworkspace.  This is defined in the application as the Scratch folder under the toolshare folder as directed, however it is not clear to me how this information is updated when the task is executed from the web client.  The shapefile in the jobs folder is updated but since the sublayer in the MXD references the scratch folder under the toolshare folder how is the output ever exposed?  The result is that there does not to appear to any link between the GP Service and the resulting map service.  I think we are just missing something obvious but at this point have hit a wall.  Any help is appreciated. Chase Barnard Chase, This help topic here provides information about configuring the scratchworkspace for tools that are published in ArcGIS Server (see section Creating Models for Geoprocessing Service).

After clearing rest cache I succeeded in getting esriJobSucceeded . But the resultant shapefile after intersection is empty (it contains all the resultant attributes after join but no values). My model executes successfully from ArcCatelog->model -> Run entire model option. Even the resultant shape file also contains relevant data after join. All my intermediate and output shapefiles are placed in Inetpub->wwwroot. Which version (beta 2 or pre-release) are you using? There was a bug in beta 2 which sounds related to this behavior: "NIM052852: When using REST API to clip and extract data using the Geoprocessing Service Data extraction toolbox, the extracted data contains no features."  was causing input feature set to become empty. This has been addressed in 10.0 pre-release. Thanks Ravi ... View more

When I perform an identify query in a Flex Client, I only get the attributes of the selected parcel, none of the related survey records are returned.  This is expected behavior. MapService Identify and Find operations are not designed to return related records. To fetch related data, queryRelatedRecords operation should be used. Thanks Ravi ... View more

Jithen, Yes at 10 rest.config has to be edited to update the SOAPUrl and SOAPSSl url to not use the URL generated for the hostname. Since Web Services can be installed independent of SOM/SOC, the webserver settings from GIS Server post install may not be always available. I'll submit a request for solution (post 10.0) that will allow updating the SOAP URL in rest.config without the need for hand edit. Ravi ... View more

Geoprocessing task related to intersect of shapefile fails to execute . File  restlog.txt contains Error:Configuration <toolName> . GPServer not found. Can you verify if the GP Service has started successfully and if the REST cache has been cleared since the startup of the service? Also check if this GP Task can be executed via the Services Directory page. Thanks ... View more

Hi Ravi Thank you for your reply. Administrator can access whatever folder or services if i am not enable token services. if i enable token services, then he can not access. Why? i try to use gettoken.html to get token, i can get token string, i put string into map application(http://XX/demo.html) the map is empty. Thanks Bing Please make sure that the Security settings for this map service is correct. For example, the Role of the User that generates the token, should  be allowed access to this Map Service or the folder in which the MapService is published. The following help topic provides detailed information on setting up users/roles when implementing security using SQL Server. Please check out the section on setting permissions for GIS services: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3.1/dotNet/index.htm#walkthrough_sqlserver.htm Thanks Ravi ... View more

Jithen, The first time you set up the SOAP/SoapSsl url to an external url, it has to be done manually. Currently when the Webservices post install is run for the first time, it will apply the host name that is given to generate the Soap and SoapSsl urls.  At 10 Final, Webservices post install has been updated to not alter SoapUrl, SoapSslUrl,ServicesDirectoryHelpUrl and ApiBaseHelpUrl if those already contain a value.

I enable security for gis services. But if i enable ArcGIS server token serivice on this computer via http://XX/ArcGIS/Manager/default.aspx i will got Folder:/ Unautherized acces error when i tried to access http://XX/ArcGIS/rest/services/SecurityFolder/World/Mapserver again although it looks like i  logged in already. Please make sure the logged in user belongs to a role that is allowed access to this folder. "Set permissions for GIS Web services" section in the following help topic has details on how to set permissions on a folder: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3/dotNet/index.htm#walkthrough_sqlserver.htm ...
