I think it would be good to be able to be able to add group layer from MapServer service in ArcGIS Online / Portal for ArcGIS. The business need is the following : let's take "water burried network" for example, you have a groupLayer in a more general "Network" MapServer service that contains point, line, surface and you want to be able to add that on a map as a whole. I do not want to add every single item as a featureService (nor use a group of featureService as mentionned on the following idea which is in production plan) because the symbology is complex (complex dynamic labelling, arrow on lines to display flow direction, ...) and contains lots of items so it would be slow (though I know WebGL could help someday). The only workaround so far is to publish it as an individual service but it would increase load on the server to publish every single group as a service as there are many other cases like the one I mentionned above.

Hello, In a single-machine-high-availability-active-active-deployment, though 2 webservices are exactly identical (same SDE geodatabase), but also identical: - MapServer info json : https://x.y.z/arcgis/rest/services/Folder/Service/MapServer/?f=json   - Layer info json : https://x.y.z/arcgis/rest/services/Folder/Service/MapServer/layers?f=json  - Legend info json : https://x.y.z/arcgis/rest/services/Folder/Service/MapServer/legend?f=json  - Admin info json https://x.y.z/arcgis/admin/services/Folder/Service.MapServer?f=json except the name of the host (extension["properties"]["appSchemaURI"], extension["properties"]["onlineResource"]), I keep having 2 different ETag header for the same request preventing the user from using its cached answer.  Is there anything I overlooked or is that a limitation of a single-machine-high-availability scenario ? Thanks ! ... View more

Hello, Here is a long post about the Collector impact on geodatabase compress operation. Problem : I noticed that the compress operation is not working as expected because of Collector replica/versions I believe Context: We have set up a while ago some Collector applications for data collection. Though these webmaps are used to collect some data, another goal of these applications is also to have many layers (#30) as read only to help decision making on the field (offline functionnality). The read-only data is hosted in an ArcSDE Oracle database and versionned and the web map is referencing ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 feature services with sync functionnality enabled. There is only one version in the read only database : the DEFAULT one (basically we enabled versionning for Collector). Observations: Everything has been working fine, but now that these applications have been out for a while I noticed that the delta tables are growing and compress operation removes only few STATES. I do not have much experience with database replications and versionning other than with Collector so maybe I missed something... I believed for a while that some Collector applications had not been synchronised for a very long time and were preventing the compress from compressing, but when doing some tests, I noticed that when I download the map and 2 days later I synchronized (some data in the read only database have been updated in the meantime), while looking at the SDE.VERSIONS table, I see that new versions are created (SYNC_(SEND/RECEIVE/RECEIVE_REC)_REPLICAOBJECTID_X) with X becoming bigger but all the versions still reference the original STATE_ID of the initial download. I would have thought that it would have come back to the last STATE_ID of the database and thus a compress would then be effectiv has nothing would reference old STATE anymore. Questions: Does that mean that synchronizing is not enough and that I have to ask the user to download again the map once in a while rather than synchronizing if I want the database to be compressed ? Or are there any operations that should be done on my side ? Are they other people facing compress problems because of Collector ? Any advices, hints ? Thanks for your help, Nicolas ... View more

As an organization, you probably need to create a custom theme to follow your organization design rules. As a consequence, it would be great to be able to upload that theme on the WebAppBuilder of the ArcGIS Enterprise of the organization in order to allow users to create WebApps with that theme. As custom widgets support has been added in ArcGIS Entreprise 10.5.1 (Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS now supports Custom Widgets in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 | ArcGIS Blog), I think it makes sense to now support custom themes as well. ...
