Need help : Publishing polygon layers (say state_boundary etc.) in ArcGIS Server

[SunilPalkar]

Hello All,

I am using ESRI 10.1 suit and working on few map services. When I publish polygon layers like boundary map,district boundary etc. its taking time in REST query.

My Data environment : Converted all polygon shape files to the SQL server data base (ver. 2008 + no indexing)  & using shape2sql tool .                   While  accessing following REST  Layer: States (ID: 2)  simple query works fast than my map services.

So what should I do to speedup my REST layer similar to above one ?

i.e.  publishing directly from shape file is fine OR converting shape file to database is recommended ?

Any help will be great!!

Hi Sunil,

File Geodatabases are usually faster performing than enterprise geodatabases.  If you do not need a feature service, I would recommend creating a one-way replica to a File Geodatabase, and create the map service from that.

Your process is very straight forward, but mostly Enterprise (server) based environments and volume of users connected to the service restricts the speedy processing.

I recon, better to create a replica of your geodatabase locally, process and post back to enterprice.

That's my way, and It's very handy.
