I can see the problem on my iPhone. It looks like there's some extra white space above the gallery of maps. I can scroll along the right edge of the screen. We'll have to take a look. Thanks, Mike Thanks Mike. ... View more

This only seems to be a problem with Android devices.  I've tested on iOS with no issues.  Any Android device I test comes up "no information" when I click a feature that has popups enabled.  Please, November update to AGOL have this fixed! ... View more

Here's a link to the map.  Try it on your desktop.  Popups work.  Then send the link to your phone.  Popups don't work.  Also, it doesn't seem possible to toggle the various operational layers on and off. http://larimer.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=fac44a005f6644e3bb3f62c4f13d2c26 ...

Thanks Erin, I've tried as you've suggested by running the "upload service definition" tool, after successfully staging an SD file locally on my Desktop PC.  I get an error in that tool stating that the service definition ID is incorrect and the that SD file is corrupt.  The help documentation suggests recreating the SD file... which I've done several times.  So that leaves me back at being stuck.  I tried uploading the same SD file from a coworkers ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 SP1 PC as well, with the same results. ...

I queried Dave Bouwman over at DTSAgile about how they do their "realtime" map service and he mentioned that they put their images into  SQL Server SDE and do a managed raster catalog. So, I tried creating file geodatabase with an unmanaged raster catalog (gif images reside on file system and simply pointed to by the raster catalog). In the published MXD I added only the raster catalog... no gif images directly. In my app, I do a "layer definition" statement to pull out the needed images from the raster catalog. Now, the map service shows the latest/greatest images on the file system whenever I refresh the the map service. That isn't a "cure" but a decent work around.  I'll take it. ... View more

UPDATE:  The map service does seem to update on some sort of periodic basis, but I haven't been able to figure out what period that is, how to change that or how that's defined. If I fire up the javascript viewer for the service and refresh it every 15 minutes or so, the image I see in on the web page is clearly different than the latest/greatest image that is on the file system... but then, after some time... an hour or two, the web service does in fact update to the latest image if you refresh the page... but then that image sticks for another hour or so. ...

Are you sure the data store(s) are registered with ArcGIS Server?  I ran into a similar issue where my map service wasn't updating dynamically with edits to feature classes I was making.  Turned out that when I initially published the service to Server, the data store(s) weren't registered with Server so it was copying all of the feature classes, images and mxd to a local directory on the server itself.  In order to clear that local copy, I had to delete the service, register the data store locations with Server and republish.  Once Server knew the communication link between the service and data, the map service became dynamic. Pretty sure when I setup the service and did the "analyze" step, it came up with the "data source not registered" thing... so I did that. ... View more

It's been a few months since I worked with arcServer, but I seem to rember there being an option on the map service to allow or not allow the user to store a local cache.  But I'm not sure if that was an option for dynamic map service or only for cached map services.  Good Luck, Tom Yeah, that's only for cached services.  Seems like the MXD holds onto a cached version of the image on the file system too.  So the issue seems to be deeper than just not caching map service images on the client side.  The service itself isn't grabbing the latest image as clients request them. ...

After a bunch of troubleshooting and looking into other ways to do the kind of pdf generating that I'm doing... I'd sure like to stick with the method that I'm currently using (successfully with the 3.0 AGS/Flex API) as stated in the OP.  I've added a quick and dirty example Flex project code that demonstrates the issue.  Paste it into your IDE, add the 3.1 SWC, run it.  Click the "clone" button.  The app throws exception. UPDATE: I was able to discover that if you only have one layer in the original map, the cloning process works fine.  So, if you comment out one of the tiled map services in the mxml portion of the provided example app, you'll see that the cloning works just fine.  I've set a couple alpha properties on the layers to show that they are in fact cloning properly, as the clone honors the alpha property of the original layer. Notice also, that if you change out the 3.1 API for 3.0, the cloning process works fine if you have more than one map layer present. Esri Flex API Dev staff, it would be great to get this capability added back to your next release of the API. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"       xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"       xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"       xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"       minWidth="955" minHeight="600"> <fx:Script>   <![CDATA[    import com.esri.ags.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer;    import com.esri.ags.layers.Layer;       import flash.net.registerClassAlias;       protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void    {     registerClassAlias("com.esri.ags.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer", ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer);         for each(var l:Layer  in map.layers)     {       if (l is ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer)       {       var ctl:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer = deepClone(l) as ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer;       cloneMap.addLayer(ctl);      }        }    }       private function deepClone ( obj : * ) : *                    {                            var bytes : ByteArray = new ByteArray();     bytes.writeObject(obj);     bytes.position = 0;     return bytes.readObject();    }   ]]> </fx:Script> <fx:Declarations>   <esri:Extent id="initialExtent"       xmin="-13635000" ymin="4541000" xmax="-13625000" ymax="4547000">    <esri:SpatialReference wkid="102100"/>   </esri:Extent> </fx:Declarations> <esri:Map id="map" x="12" y="57" width="376" height="230" extent="{initialExtent}">   <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer" alpha=".5"/>   <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Reference/World_Transportation/MapServer" alpha=".5"/> </esri:Map> <esri:Map id="cloneMap" x="506" y="52" width="399" height="269" extent="{initialExtent}"/> <s:Button x="210" y="347" label="Clone" click="button1_clickHandler(event)"/> </s:Application> ...

Mark, I imported your sample project, changed the AGS/Flex API to 3.1, changed the path to my server side script, and it works fine.  Will see if I can change out some code and get mine to work.  Thanks. ... View more

Mark, I'll try your approach, which isn't too different than mine... with the 3.1 API and see if it still breaks.  Still looking at the various other options presented as well. ... View more
