Jason, Any reason why you can't use client-side graphics layer supported by all ArcGIS Web APIs to draw graphics on top of map? why do you need to need to burn the graphics in the image returned by mapservice's export operation? Thanks. ... View more

This is a known limit at 10.1 that SpatialFilter does not get used while querying for stats off a mapserver, only attribute query is supported. We have this in 10.1 SP1 list of enhancements to be supported. In the meantime, here are workarounds: what valvag proposed as #2. It will not perform well since you need to make two requests you can also use 'OBJECTID in (1,2,3...)' instead of 'OBJECTID = 1 or OBJECTID = 2 ...' as a whereclause OR, if your underlying RDBMS supports Spatial data natively, then store geometries/shapes in DB's native storage type in your web app, construct a SQL Statement that includes a spatial operation and geometry (conformed to their specs) pass that sql as a where clause to query operation. ...

Thanks David, Kevin. The whole idea behind the ExportWebMap is that you have map (composed of mapservice, featuresure, graphics etc.) on your web app and you want that map to be printed by exporting it out to a pdf or any other format first. Since your web applications does not need to have mapping component, it seems like a custom arcpy.mapping based Geoprocesing service might be a viable solution. Before I can suggest anything specific, I'd appreciate if you could answer the following questions: 1. do you plan to use map service layer(s) in the map document that you want to be exported out to pdf?, OR 2. is it that you have an existing mxd containing all layers pointing to local datasets (e.g. in a fgdb, shapefile, sde etc) that you want to open, zoom into the extent of a feature and export to a pdf? Kevin: 3. in your report, how do you know what extent the map needs to be zoomed at? is that like your web app knows the extent always and you are planning that to be sent to the ExportWebMap task? Please keep in mind that ExportWebMap task in PrintingTools service currently does *not* support returning multi-page pdf - it is always single page. If you need to return multi-page pdf, then you need to go with a custom solution. A side note: arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument, as the name suggests, takes the same webmap_json that ExportWebMap task takes and returns a MapDocument objects that you can then export to any format supported using arcpy functions. ...

You should use one of ArcGIS Web APIs' (JavaScript, Silverlight or Flex) PrintTask in conjunction with PrintingTools service from your web app. Is you application a web app or desktop app? ... View more

Since the backend RDBS is SQL Server, I'd ask to create a Database Connection to your database using ArcCatalog @ 10.1. Once you do that you'd see the table listed in the Catalog window, just drag-drop that in ArcMap and create XY Event layer from that table. ... View more

Unfortunately it seems like the JSON attached to the post is incomplete. Besides that, here are few issues that I have noticed: I don't see "mapOptions" element where "scale" and "extent" should go atleast "operationalLayers" or "baseMap" needs to be there Quick question: how are you generating the JSON? Are you using any of ArcGIS Web APIs (java, flext or silverlight) or you are generating it programatically? In case you use ArcGIS Web API, please use PrintTask and you don't need to worry about generating this JSON. If it is the later case, then please check Web_Map_as_JSON's specification here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/gp_exportwebmaptask.html ... View more

MapService's REST API does not allow passing in client-side graphics as a parameter to it's export operation. May I know what exactly you want to do? Thanks. ... View more

That is, I believe, only possible, if the geometry is stored in the database's native spatial format (e.g. SQL Server's Geometry/Geography, or Oracle's SDO etc.). In that case, you need to send a sql query that conforms to the underlying database's syntax (not quite sure whether all databases follow the same syntax or different). The workaround that would work regardless of underlying database is to pass in a search geometry to find all points that intersects or is contained within the search geometry. ... View more
