Schopp, that is expected behavior. Query operation returns the value in the original data type. Whereas Find and Identify operations return formatted string e.g. depending on the format assigned to the field, the return string may look like $123,345.90 or 9.054% etc. Hope this helps. ... View more

Starting at 10.1, ArcGIS Server provides solutions for printing from web applications -- out of the box PrintingTools service is the easy and quick one to start with. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/#/Printing_in_web_applications/0154000004w5000000/ have you consider using that instead of your own arcpy export to pdf solution? if so, I was wondering is there any reason you can't use that. thanks. ...

But, it says to log into ArcGIS Server Manager and change the default printer page size settings. You need to log on to your server machine using "ArcGIS Server Account" user. Sorry, if there is such confusion. Is it done by setting the default page size for the Server Machine (done outside of ArcGIS Server Manager)? or on each client machine? yep, on the server machine, not on each client machine. But, the problem is my Server Machine where ArcGIS for Server is hosted is not connected to any printer and has no printer drivers/ports installed on it. you don't need to have the server machine connected to any printer. All you need is to install a printer/plotter driver on your server machine, make that the "default printer" and change the "default paper size" of that printer something large enough to fit the largest layout available in your printing service (don't forget about the paper orientation). ...

Getting statistics of a query layer is not supported as of today. ... View more

Sometimes, for particular query, the returned values are more than 1,000 where the end-user needs to export them as CSV file (from the web mapping application). I'd recommend to have a gp service which will execute the query, export to a CSV file on the server side and return it by url (or by value, if that is what you want). I'd not recommend to convert a query result to CSV on the client side especially when a query returns a ton of records. ... View more

Tony, Did you try ArcGIS Server Printing Service (new at 10.1)? Did it not work for you? The printing service knows how to work with the dynamic layers with a map service. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/#/Printing_in_web_applications/0154000004w5000000/ Please let me know if you have any question. Thanks. Tanu ... View more

All, You'd not need to restart a service after publishing just to refresh the choice list. The list should get populated during the publishing time. I was unable to reproduce this behavior in-house. I'd recommend you to contact Esri Tech Support and have an analyst take a look at your individual situations. Sorry about the inconvenience. Tanu ... View more

Josh, Currently LabelinglInfo is not supported for layers in featureCollection (aka graphic layers). to draw labels on top of features, you need to have a separate layer (of point type) inside the featureCollection with geometries defining the location where labels will be drawn and text symbols. Here i have attached a json (modified version of yours) that shows how to draw labels. I have also attached the output from a printing service using the json. Thanks. Tanu ... View more

Aaron, Unfortunately the problem is a server side issue and I can't think of anything that you could do to work around this problem from the client side for a map service layer. Only if it were (a) a featurelayer and (b)all symbols are simple-symbols (not picture marker/fill symbols), it might have worked for you. I will strongly recommend you to talk to the admin of the server running the Printing Service and have the work around implemented. If the server admin absolutely can't do that: can you use png? this particular issue should not exist with png or jpeg. Tanu ... View more

YL, in case you can figure out all applicable dispatch zones upfront, you can setup your layer's unique-value-renderer with additional values, even when your layer does not have those values. So, you setup your layer's unique value renderer with all possible dispatch zone id/name and publish. As new features with new values get added to the spatial table, a simple refresh from your web app or arcgis.com map will show new features with new symbols. in case you really need to do dynamic rendering on the server side, here are few links that you may find helpful: About Dynamic Layers: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#/About_dynamic_layers/00sq000000n1000000/ JS API sample on changing layers symbology on dynamically: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/renderer_dynamic_layer_change_attribute.html there is also a task that allows you to get unique values renderer with updated values from server side. https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/generaterenderertask-amd.html all ArcGIS Web APIs have similar capabilities. ...
