Josh, Change out Step 13 at the following link. That should help you with your unique symbol question. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#/Using_unique_symbols/010q000000m7000000/ As for your second question, it may be best to post a new question and give more background on what you asking for there.

What happens to the accounts, groups and data after the ArcGIS online for organization subscription expires. Much of the data and groups were created under a private account before I became apart the organization. Can my account be converted back to a private account as it original was? Is there any way I can transfer any of the web maps and groups that are not hosted feature or map services (obviously those will go away)? Many of the groups are not organization groups.

Graeme, Are you using 10.1? I'm getting the same result in 10.1 with your link and another one I just tried. Looks like a bug to me. Probably best to contact support. This is the address I tried http://ogi.state.ok.us/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities. The strange thing is I can get the WFS to work if I add it via the Interoperability Connection route.

Thanks for the update Micheal. Any chance this is or plans to be made available as a feature service to use and query in our own maps? Looks like a great resource that could provide much more detail than the Soil Survey map service.

Sorry, I meant for this to be under ArcGIS online forum, can someone please move it to there? I wasn't sure where else to post this so I thought I would add it here. I was just checking out a new blog post on a new Soil Hydrology webmap on ArcGIS online. I zoomed into an area in California and I began to look at the soil type names and none of them seem to be correct or accurate. In fact, a quick search of the soil type names show they are from South & North Dakota or Minnesota, definitely not California soil types. Can someone look into why the data looks to be wrong? Not sure how widespread it is. Also, was hoping to find if there is a feature service that available with this data.

Thanks for the reply and answer Bruce. That is definitely getting me much closer but I'm still getting an error when trying to add it to the TOC in ArcMap. With your help, I'm now seeing the feature listed in ArcCatalog but when I go to drag it into the TOC of ArcMap I get the following error. "Error Reading Interoperability Data" in the title and within the message: "This dataset appears to be invalid. Please verify that your settings or file contents are correct, and try again." So I didn't change any of the settings from the fdl file you sent me. I did notice that if you add the feature via the Add button rather than drag/drop into the TOC, it adds the feature with no error but the attribute table is empty. Anything else you think I could try? Do I need to do something more in order to get features added vs. a blank feature class.

I'm attempting to add a WFS connection via the Interoperability Connections. I'm using the 10.1 prerelease which I think has changed a little bit from 10.0. For example the Settings button in 10.0 has been changed to being called Parameter. So I go to add the WFS address under Dataset after selecting WFS for the Format. However, the Parameters button remains greyed out. Not sure why. So I click OK and the .fdl connection shows up but only shows "NoGeometry" under the .fdl name. Below is the WFS address that I know works. Do I need to be adding more or less to the WFS address. http://ogi.state.ok.us/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0 Any help here would be appreciated.

There is no way to update the features from a shapefile. Once a shapefile is loaded into a map, those features are stored in the map. Soon, we'll be releasing subscriptions for ArcGIS Online that will allow you to create services out of your data. You can update your data directly in the service and any web map that references the service will immediately reflect changes made to the data. Thus, all of your symbolization and popup configuration will be retained. This will be the recommended workflow moving forward. Thanks, Mike Mike, Can you explain or point me to how you can update the hosted feature service as gman would like to do? Wouldn't it be a pretty manual process? Or could he upload a large updated CSV or Shp file to overwrite his current Hosted Feature Service without effecting the symbology of the webmap using it.

‎06-05-2012

A related question - could one store such a CSV file in their 'My Content' list instead of a web location? And, what if I wanted to use a shapefile instead of a CSV? Shapes don't appear to be an option in the 'Add Layer from Web' dialog. This is another spot where I think Esri is missing the strong need for what you describe. I added this on the ideas site but I don't think enough people visit the site to up vote this even though many need this. If you have a organization subscription they even have csv or shp file sitting in My Contents after you export it from a hosted feature service that you can update but they don't give you anyway to easily add the updated shp or csv file to a webmap from My Contents. Not sure why they let you update it if all you can do is download the CSV or SHP file. http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=08730000000by5TAAQ

Hi everyboby! I'm pretty new to web applications so maybe my question is easy, maybe impossible: I have a single linear shapefile with it's symbology that derives from a joined database (very simple... value "yes"-red color value "no"- blue color) is it possible to put it online? I only managed to put online the shapefile alone, with no connection to the database. I could put the DB in a clouding service to have it online, but how I connect it with the shape? I need the shape to depend from the database, and I would like to have the results shown on the internet... is it possible with arcgis Online or do I need to buy (!) and study Arcgis Server? (I have arcInfo 10 and the publisher extension..if needed) thanks! M2 I'm pretty sure you would need ArcGIS server to connect to geodatabase as you describe. I definitely think Esri needs to add this functionality to ArcGIS online or they will continue to lose people that can't afford an ArcGIS server license. This is actually a pretty heavy request on the http://ideas.arcgis.com/ site but is broken up into several different ideas that are asking for a similar functionality to this.

Andrew, 3. This is more of a suggestion than a question but having the ability to refresh a service stored in the "cloud" on a daily basis like we can on a local web server would make using the subscription service much more attractive. I think a lot of people would like the ability to set up a recurring publishing task without having to go in and manually run the process every day. Thanks again for your help. I couldn't agree more that the subscription option for ArcGIS online is much less attractive without some ability to store data beyond just a webmap. I think what you are asking for here is a geodatabase within arcgis online. If they could make this very simple and easy along with some limitation so it wouldn't compete with their Server product they would see huge adoption in my opinion. It would fill a huge gap they have now between this subscription service and ArcGIS server.

Mike, Yep, I definitely understand and realize the SD file is uploaded to ArcGIS online when publishing from ArcGIS Desktop. However, once it's up there, there is nothing do with it. Yes, you have the feature service or map service to work with but once you make changes to that Feature Service it's no longer is the same as SD file the service is created from, right? What I'm saying here, is it would be nice to create another hosted service directly from that SD file without the need to publish it again from Desktop to get the original state back again. Sounds like ArcGIS Server Manager has this ability, to publish direct from SD file vs. from Desktop. Basically you could look at the SD file as a map template with all the fields you want to collect and then use it again to collect new features, you don't have to go back a publish again from ArcGIS desktop.

‎05-11-2012

It actually already on the Ideas site. Listed here:http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=08730000000bzsCAAQ Hopefully others will add their vote to this.

Andrew, Thanks for the reply. I definitely realize a Service Definition file is uploaded to ArcGIS when publishing a hosted service. However, what can one do with it after that? You can download the Service Definition but nothing else unless you have ArcGIS Server, right? So what I'm getting at here is much like how we can currently instantly create a hosted feature service under My Content on ArcGIS online with a Shp or CSV file, it would be even better if we could do this with a Service Definition File. I believe ArcGIS Server has this same capability to publish a service definition using ArcGIS Server Manager. Just seems sort of strange the service definition gets uploaded but there is nothing we can really do with unless we have ArcGIS server which I would think most using the ArcGIS subscription would not. Hi Eric, When you publish from ArcGIS Desktop, a Service Definition will be uploaded to ArcGIS Online and published as a Feature or Tiled Service. Hope that helps, Andrew

I'm pretty new to Arcmap and I am struggling with finding a way to add more structure to how my spatial data is being stored and attempting to design and run reports on it. I would like to add some database relationship features to each feature class I'm storing in a file geodatabase. Basically, I have many feature classes that have same geography or parcel. Each parcel will have many different feature classes within a given year. I was thinking I would have a parcel owner table, a parcel table (since a given owner may own multiple parcels, and a feature class table (to match a parcel to many feature classes stored for that parcel). All of this would help me design and run reports on a given parcel. So my question is how I should do this? Should I create a sql server database for these tables or just a file geodatabase? I will need an easy way to enter parcel owner and name easily for each new feature class. Will it be easy enough to keep a separate non-spatial sql server database with this metadata and simply reference both this and the spatial feature classes that would be stored in a separate file geodatabase? I only have a arcview license at this point, so I won't be able to SDE. Any advice here would be appreciated.
