Tobias, thanks for your reply. Yes I created a very basic feature class for testing purposes only, in our Oracle SDE with default ST_Geometry. I added Gloabal ID's, did not register as versioned, and attempted to enable archiving. That's when I got the archive error "Failed to enable archiving. Table is not multiversion, but must be for this operation." I'm at a little bit of a loss and can't identify other issues which is why I am stuck on the geometry type as the problem. Let me get back to you on the ArcGIS Service details and Online setup, hopefully this afternoon.

Just identified my feature class geometry storage type is "High Precision using ST_Geometry spatial type (SRID 2010251530). I think this may have answered my question. Perhaps someone at Esri could chime in if there is a method for preparing data (Oracle Spatial data type ST_Geometry) for offline use.

Thanks Jake. I think my corporate network/firewall may be the issue keeping me from using the standard workflows. When I add the port 6080 to the URL I get an "Error User does not have permissions to access 'mobile/editme.mapserver" (screen shot). In summary, if I do not specify the port I can add and view the feature service but not edit. If I specify the port it returns an error immediately and does not add the feature service to AGOL. For you suggestion on preparing data for offline use I reread the criteria. It's my desire that the end user be able to take data offline, edit it, and synchronize when back on WiFi. Therefore this statement from the help leads me to believe I must have nonversioned data "If clients will be editing data while offline and sychronizing their changes when they have connectivity, the feature service must contain nonversioned data." Just below that statement there happens to be a Note indicating that you can only enable archiving on a SQL spatial data type which is why I'm thinking our Oracle SDE may be at issue. I think my companies specific network configuration and Oracle data storage are currently at odds with Esri's requirements. Would you agree? Again, that's for the continued feedback on this discussion.

Thank you Tobias and Jake for your help. Below are my results after applying your suggestions. Tobias's suggestion (changing Map to FeatureServer) did allow me to add the Feature Service to AGOL and it appears that this is the correct procedure for editing. However, I ran into another issue which is now related to my internal network and perhaps no one will be able to help accept my IT. When I add the layer to a web map I receive this error "Editing Layer "EditMe-MOBILE.SPILL" seems to be on an internal network and is not accessible to ArcGIS.com. Thus, editing will be disabled on this layer" (screen shot attached). Any suggestion on what I need to ask of my IT, open a certain port? Jake, I'm not receiving an error when I attempt to enable archiving but I receive this message. "Failed to enable archiving. Table is not multiversion, but must be for this operation" (screen shot attached). My understanding is data for offline use must be Nonversioned, archiving enabled, and include Global IDs. I can't enable archiving without versioning the feature class. Is there another way to set things up to achieve sync/offline use? Thanks again, the help you both are providing is genuinely appreciated

I have two rather in depth questions. The scenario is, I am attempting to publish an editable feature service on ArcGIS Server then add that Feature Service to ArcGIS Online, bring it into a web map, and consume/edit the web map/feature service with Collector. In addition, I would ideally like to take the web map offline with Collector. My environment is ArcGIS Server 10.2.2, along with ArcGIS desktop 10.2.2, we have an organizational ArcGIS Online account, and our data is hosted in an Oracle SDE database (unsure of Oracle version). I can successfully publish a map service with feature access enabled and all capabilities except sync. I followed the data preparation for offline use but cannot enable archiving on a nonversioned feature class. My first question is my inability to sync related to my Oracle SDE? My second question is how do I enable editing when consuming the feature service in ArcGIS Online? I added the feature service to ArcGIS Online by Adding an Item, from the Web, Type = ArcGIS Server web service and provide the full URL (example http://ags-mobile/arcgis/rest/services/Mobile/Edit/MapServer/0). However, once added editing does not appear to be available. Thank you for any help or suggestions, currently none of my data is publicly shared.

One workflow might be to create station points along the line network at 1 mile intervals (using ETGeoTools free functions). That tools outputs the point locations which could then be used to Split Line by Point (Esri ArcCatalog tool). Probably a couple of other ways to tackle this as well, I'm sure the community will chip in, good luck!

Yeah, looks like you are using the Search Settings for a widget so my suggestion is out. I haven't used that particular widget you are working with. Sorry I can't more helpful

‎03-17-2015

You may have already done this but if not be sure to edit the web map application settings to allow Find Locations "By Layer" (see attached screen shot). When you check the By Layer box it allows you to define which layers within the map are searchable and by which fields. Let me know if this helps or if it is something else. Good luck!

Finbar, this may not be exactly what you need but perhaps its close. This is an Esri configurable app so it is out of the box - Local Perspective. Also Rebecca Strauch has a blog that list and provides links to several custom widgets built and shared by members of the GeoNet community, you might find something better there. Finally, Gavin Rehkemper has a Github page for consolidating a Central List of Custom Widgets. Hope this is helpful and good luck.

Russell, thank you for the information. I just tested it and as you suggested I was able take the map offline with definition queries once I removed multiple occurrences of the same feature layer. That certainly solves the error/bug I thought I had encountered. Thanks again and I will close the ticket.

Ryan, see this link for a Coordinate Location Widget developed by Thomas Colson This is a great widget and should do the trick, it's working perfectly for us. Thank you Tim, Thomas, and Stan!

‎03-13-2015

Gavin, thanks for the link. You might also check out Rebecca Strauch's Web AppBuilder Resource List which contains descriptions and links to Custom Widgets developed and posted by the GeoNet Community. Maybe the developers of these widgets will submit them to your GitHub site. Thanks again.

It's actually an easy process but can be rather lengthy if you haven't installed Web AppBuilder yet. Check out this blog Deploying a Custom Web App Widget – ArcGIS Online and the corresponding links, it should give you a leg up. Post any further questions to the Web AppBuilder Custom Widgets Group and you should get all your questions answered, it's a very helpful group.

Chris, thanks again for the suggestions, I've finally had success. It turns out this is just a very tedious process but if you follow the guidelines then you can successfully edit a network dataset. I don't know the exact reason for my original error because I started again from scratch, moved very carefully, and didn't run into any errors. However, this was a very simple implementation on only a few new roads. Now I must apply this process to incorporate a large dataset of roads spanning several counties. I'm certain to run into new issues, please wish me luck and you will probably hear from me again.

Robert, thank you for all your development, feedback, and contributions to GeoNet community. I would like to second the suggestions by @Ronald McFarlane and @Thomas Colson for an Create Point by X/Y Location. Seems like it should be an out of the box widget by Esri by none the less it is not available (yet). Thank you kindly and I hope you see the need and have the time to develop it. 1.
